were the popular types of cars and
were manufactured in an over
whelming majority. Later on the
closed models began to make their
appearance in the larger cities In a
very limited number. Year by year
this number has been increased un-
til now the closed models are a
familiar sight not only on the city
boulevards. but on the great ma
tional highways that stretch across
the continent.
The reason for this shifting of
the popular favor from the open
to the closed models is due to q
number of things. One is that the
closed cars are now so manufac-
tured that they can readily be
transformed into open cars by low
ering the side glasses. In this way
the closed cars, such as the sedan
and coupe, are the ideal all-season.
all-purpose types of cars, oonven-
fently adaptable to all sorts OF
weather in all climates.
Another reason for the present
popularity Of and demand for closed
cars is the education Of the auto

TELEGRAMS TO HELP

Los Angeles.-A telegraphic barrage
designed to catch motor car thieves
has been put into operation here.
With the sheriff's ofice, city police,
automobile club and insurance COM
pan'es a'l working at top speed to
catch offenders there has been or
ssnIZed system which 1t Is believed
ill no the most effective tried yet
The big play by thieves in Southern
California in recent months has been
to drive cars out OF the State before
offering them for sale. This practice,
II is the plan Of the telegraphic bar
rage to break up.
Under the arrangement, as soon as
the theft Of motor car has been
reported authorities in the towns near

and South are notified. 1t may chance
that the closest border town Is in
Nevada. Arizona or Lower California,
but that makes no difference. The Of

to be on the lookout for a car of the
given description.
1t may be thought that It would
be an easy thing for thieves to circum-

MOTOR TRUCK IS
EMPIRE BUILDER
Cars Increase 100 Per Cent
And Lower Cost Of
Living.

II Is only Q short time ago that
the automobile was a novelty.
The first American motor truck
was made In 1sss. in q little shop
in Brooklyn. 1t was d Mack and
was used to carry sight-seers in
Prospect Park. Brooklyn.
BY 1914. the motor truck had
proved itself q commercial success;
but It took q big war to make peo-
pie realize that It Is one Of the
greatest means of transportation.
From 5000 motor trucks in use
ten years ago, the number has in
creased to 100000. 1t is estimated
that this year alone the number OF
trucks that will be manufactured
and sold will amount to $4,000
1t is a matter Of special note that
the biggest users OF motor trucks
are farmers.
To the public. motor transporta-
tion holds out a promise of lower
cost of living. Rural motor express
routes bring produce into cities
from farms within . large sur
rounding area, and, by eliminating
and consumer. materially reduce
prices OF foodstuffs.
This Is also true with many other
products. 1t means lower prices to
consumers and better prices for
producers.
The motor truck links together more
closely than ever before the farm and
the city. and is bringing about an inn
provement In living conditions in both
country and city.
The remarkable progress OF motor
truck transportation makes II neces-
sary to build roads to carry the loads.
Millions OF dollars are being spent
for the Improvement Of our country
roads. Instead of a narrow. short
sighted policy that will mean the
waste Of huge sums OF money for
roads that will be inadequate a few
years hence. common sense and FORE
sight must be used and our roads
built with the needs OF ten years in
the future In mind.
The motor truck brings the most
modern and economical means of
transportation to the door OF practi-
cally every farmer" says r. r. Full

PARKING PLACES SHOW
POPULARITY OF AUTOS

Proof that shows to what extent
the automobile is used to drive to
work among the great mass of own
ers, Is that Of the huge parking places
provided by the principal manufactur-
ers and industries OF the country"
says @. A. Kissel. president OF the
Kissel Motor aCr Company.
"A good many of the big steel
corporations, ship yards. manufactur-
ers in-almost every line of endeavor
have provided great parking spaces,
which are filled with the cars OF their
employees, mechanics and Office brain
workers.
1T has been found that the auto
mobile saves at least half the time 1t
takes to walk from home to place OF
employment, thereby giving the owner
additional time at home before the
