TRAINS Of TRUCKS

As DEMONSTRATION
Products Carried on Schedule
Oakland to Los Angeles to
Show Country Commercial
Value of Highways.

To promote good roads movements
in California and throughout the ma
ton for commercial purposes a high
Oakland and San Francisco journeyed
to Los Angeles last week, carrying ca
pacity loads of merchandise for BUSH
ness firms in the southern city. The
train arrived in Los Angeles Saturday
and delivery of cargoes was made di-
rect to consignees without delay.
Outside the city a convoy of Los An
geles trucks met those from the north
and escorted them into the city. To-
morrow the Los Angeles trucks will
start five day ship by truck" dem
onstration through the most produc-
tive regions of southern California. The
Frisco and Oakland train has planned
to return home at once by the coast
route, but may be persuaded by the
Angelenos to join in the southern
jaunt.
A regular schedule governed the
trip from Oakland to Los Angeles,
which occupied ten days. Night stops
were made at Stockton, Modesto,
F'resnoI Visalia, Porterville, Bakers
field, San Fernando, etc. Commercial

LESSON OF THE TRAINS
Summing up the reasons for these
truck demonstrations in California and
the conditions to which they are calling
attention Roy ID. Hearth Of Los An
geles, truck distributor and member
of ship-by truck bureaus, says:
Never before in the history of mo-
tor transportation has interest waxed
so keen as at the present, for the peo-
pie have awakened to the realization
that the motor transporter is neces-
sity rather than a luxury.
LAS substantial proof of the above
statement reference might be made to
the two times that Uncle Sam has
called upon the motor transporter in an
emergency, the first being the pursuit
of Villa into rugged mountain passes
| of Mexico, where trucks were never
| seen or heard of before, and the Sec
| ond, during the recent European
struggle, where the part enacted by the
motor truck made it possible to batter
down the stout defensive systems oil
| the Germans.
when the man power Of the United
| States was somewhat taxed during the
absence of the boys who fought over
there the motor truck not only proved
| its adaptability to the short haul, but
also to lengthy trips. At that time
the inadequacy of the railroads was
clearly proven, and now, with the in
creased transportation facilities, the
motor truck is firmly established in the
realm of transporta ton.

HYDROMETER HOLDER

The hydrometer, which every care
ful car owner uses constantly on his
battery, is easily broken and II is
somewhat of problem to know where
10 keep it. The best way is to keep II
right in the wooden case in which it
comes and to attach metal straps to
the wall, into which the case and in
strument may be thrust after the
car owner has finished his battery test,

MANY DELIVERY COMPANIES

Motor transportation companies are
found in every part of the United
States. Sections of country which
heretofore were rarely heard from be-
cause of being off the main line of a
railroad have been brought closer to
the city. The farmer who was only
able to ship to market once or twice
a week now has his products in the
market every day. In addition motor
trucks deliver commodities to farm
ers and those people who reside in SUI
burban districts on regular daily
schedules, thus enabling them to come
in closer contact with the business ac-
tivities of the community.
Extensive utilization of the motor
truck works for the construction of
new and better roadways. 1t is known
fact that the status of a community
is largely based upon the highways
and the quality of the roads that pass
through it, Thus, with the expansion
of motor transportation more work Is
provided for all, farm products find Il
deily market, while the city business
man is enabled to place his commodi-
| ties more readily in the homes of the
| farm folk and suburban jewellers. The
scope of the motor truck Is unlimited
and should be encouraged to the ut
most"

the French representatives charged with
the duty Of meeting the visitors. On
the face of the leader of the dele
cation, Count Renner, there was a
pleasant smile when he alighted from
the train, in contrast with the stern set
faces Of all the Germans when they ar
rived at Versailles. 1t was evident that
the request of the Germans for permits
sion to go to St. German and greet the
AuStrlans had been denied, for no Ger
mans were present, When the first meet
ing Of the Austrians with the allied
peace delegates is to take place has not
been announced. The Council of Four
has made reply to the suggestions in
%corporated in notes from the German
delegates regarding Iab0ur and the re-
patrlation Of prisoners. Three additional
German notes have been delivered to
the council and Count Won B~rockdorff-
RantZau and his associates are said to
be drawing up further lengthy proposals
looking to the ameli0rati0n of the peace
terms given Germany. One OF the last
notes OF the Germans which deals with
the economic clauses of the treaty. as
SertS that enforcement Of the terms will
mean the ruin Of Germany. Another
note touches on the Sarre Valley range
ment, the trans er Of German territory
to Belgium and the evacuation by Ger
many of SchIesWig. No protest is made
by Germany to atfording reparatIons for
damages done to Belgium and Northern
France but ON OF the notes asserts that
Germany will not pay for damages on
the principle that Germany was response
BILE for the war.
