 The number of registered automo- hiles has increased from 3,S94.3l4 in 1916 to over 5.000.000 in 1917. The state of Illinois alone showed an increase of g2000 registrations in 1917 over 1916.
 Of the 1.S06194 motor vehicles pro- duced by American manufacturers in 1917. 112.200 were motor trucks and during the last six months the propor- ton of trucks has been greatly in- creased by the governments war or ders. which have involved for many builders a big addition to their normal business.
 Mars on a Truck Chassis
 Three years of war have done much to perfect the motor truck. And at the same time. war has raised the price of horsemeat to an almost eX- hOriGant figure War has already forclbly increased the capacities of American motor truck factories and in ease the war continues for any greater period we can look forward to further almost revolutionary changes.
 "The activity of 1917 is but a fore taste of what may come to American truck manufacturers, but that begin ming in the year 1917 toward placing Mars on a truck chassis also included arrangements for producing 30000 oi the new three ton standardized trucks -an order which alone equals one third of the entire number of trucks actually produced by all factories dur ing the past year. Contracts for ,00t of these, amounting to approximatelN S50000000 have already been awarded

LAKE BOATS IN
 OCEAN SERVICE

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 22-While vessel owners on the Great Lakes have pledged their undivided support to the government in the prosecution of the war, they, and related business inter- ests are viewing with more than pass ing interest the taking of a large num- Der of package freighters from the lakes for salt water service. That there will be a scarcity of small carriers on the lakes. is freely admitted. Millers of the northwest contend that all ton mage of that class will be needed in the 1918 season for the movement of flour from upper lake ports to the east
 It has been pointed out also that the movement of coal to small docks will be affected by the removal of ves- sels ranging in capacity from 5000 to 4,OO0 tons. Vesselmen face one of the biggest seasons on record and coal shipments are expected to play a large part in their activities. Present indi- cations are that the stock of coal on hand at the upper lake ports will be extremely low when the navigation 1 season opens
 | Twenty three steamers were sent to the coast in 1917: probably score more have been taken over since then for delivery at seaboard by May 15, and many more are expected to be lined up | before the lake season begins. In addi- 1 tion to these Al vessels, ten steel tugs, and the wrecking tug Favorite were sent to the coast last season.
 Capacity operations will rule in shipyards along the Great Lakes this year. With orders for 70 steamers for salt water service, the American Ship building company's plants are booked virtually to capacity. The Toledo Shipbuilding company has contracts for IA steamers for ocean service. Sim liar conditions prevail at other plants. The Toledo company expects to send eight of these vessels to the seaboard before the end of the coming season. and six will come out early in 1919. A majority of the vessels to be built by the companies named, will be 261 feet long, 43.5 feet beam and A feet deep.
 The supplying of man-power that Will be needed for the new ships to be added tos the country's merchant ma = rine. has been the subject of several con 1 ferences between representatives of the seaman's union and the United States shipping board. Several training ships to school men in the work of sailors foremen. oilers, stewards, etc. already havea been provided by the shipping board. In addition to these, 3S gov ernment navigation and marine en- gineering schoolsshave been established throughout the country. where ex- perienced seamen are being trained fol officers. An interesting feature of tho training ships is that they are off, cered and manned exclusively by American citizens.
 It is understood from a reliable source that more than 4,00O new off. cers have been licensed since th, United States entered the war.

road building a war necessity and to formulate definite plan that will na- tionalze the work throughout the country The needs of the federal gov ernment might require the designation of certain main roads that are of mili- tary or strategic importance to be na- tional roads. Congress should provide that the links and gaps in the roads should be improved at once with all the resources and funds available for that purpose by the federal government If needed, it should be provided that all bridges and culverts be strengthened for carrying heavy guns an dother large loads. Congress might further designate as a secondary system those roads of primary importance to the in- dustriaI centers of the various states
 Need of Federal Highway Board
 Realizing the transportation conges- tion crisis, the following resolution was adopted b ythe Chamber of Commerce of the United States, at it's Atlantic City convention:
 Whereas, It is essential that all the transportation facilities of the nation should be brought to the highest state of efficiency in order that foodstuffs may be moved most economically iron | the farm to the market, that manufac- ! tured products be moved at the loves l cost from the factory to the consumer and
 Whereas, The public highways offel l a good, prompt and economical mean; l to supplement transportation by raj and water. therefore, be it

D|STILLATE USED FUR FUEL IN TWIN
 SIX PACKARD GAR

s. B. Taylor of the technical service department of the Packard Motor Car Company accompanied W. c. Mills of McArthur Brothers on trip to Globe recently in a Packard Twins Six us- ing distillate for fuel.
 This is the first instance in Arizona of using distillate in a Packard, al though it has been used in California for some time successfully and result ing in a fuel saving of about one half.
 We had a fine trip" said Mir Mills in commenting on the demonstration, and averaged 10 miles to the gallon of distillate.
 We left Phoenix in the morning and arrived in Globe in good time, the car running just as smoothly and develop ing just as much power as though we were using the best grade. of gasoline
 The Packard Twin Six will use distillate without any special adjust ment of the carburetor." says MT. Mills, and I could see no difference in the running of the car"
 The new Packard was the subject of much interest in Globe. as it was the first time one of the new series had been seen there.
 MT. Taylor is in Phoenix in the inter- est of the service department of the Packard Motor Car Company and ex- pressed surprise at the completeness of McArthur Brothers service equip ment. MT. Taylor was also surprised at the difference in the weather here and Detroit. He said Arizona is great country for automobiles and has the world beat on climate.

A seventeen mile strip of the highway just west of Salt Lake City, is known as the Soldering section"-a tribute to his support of this great project.
 Like many other successful business men he is product of the farm, hav- ing been born near Akron, but unlike many who have sought their fortunes elsewhere, he has achieved his success at home. and has been one of the big factors in making his home city the rubber capital of the world. But, al- though he has built up one of the larg- est rubber manufacturing concerns in the world and still remains it's active head, he finds time to devote to other interests
 As director of the United States Chamber of Commerce, he has spent much time during the last few months In Washington, and is in close touch with the governments war program. and alive to the importance of the Lincoln highway in the great trans 1 portatlon problems that must be worked out to make the government S program success.
 About ten months ago President Seiberling, sensing the transportation ! conditions that since have appeared established a long distance motor truck line between Akron, Ohio. and Boston, Mass, operating over the Lin coin highway from Pittsburg to New fork. This line is used by the Good year company to transport tires to its Boston branch and to bring back fabric from it's cotton mills in Con- necticut. The success of this line has encouraged many others to inaugurate similar lines, although operating over shorter distances, until today the Lin coin highway is being used to trans port many tons of important finished ana raw materials to the eastern sea

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
 ARE GIVING TOASTED
 CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the wonderful advances that have been made in the preparation of smoking tobaccos in the last few years it may sound strange to speak of toasted cigarettes.
 Strictly speaking, we should say ciga rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok CTS of this country will recognize it more readily by its trade name, LUCKY STRIKE "-the toasted cigarette.
 The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted ciga rettes and these are being bought 1T enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the news papers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France.
 This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavor and makes the cigarettes keep better.
 The Red Cross nurse is always glad to have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as, in most instances, that is the first thing asked for.
