statesmen OVERCOME
LONG,WAIT FOR TRAINS

To eliminate expensive selling
methods, many wholesale houses
have equipped their sales forces
with light delivery cars. with the
result that their representatives
have been able to triple the number
of towns visited, carrying their
samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair
to alleviate to a great extent the
troubles OF the travelling salesman.
Isolated towns and once-a day rail-
way trains have made many
salesman throw up his hands in
disgust and desert his profession
for fields less wearisome and nerve
wreCking. Not only did such rail-
way facilities tend to reduce the
ranks of tho travelling statesmen,
but they were responsible for an
increased selling cost of dry goods.
shoes. groceries. hardware, hats and
similar staples. Using the rail-
roads. the salesman was able to
make but one town a day. where
several hours were sufficient to
call on the trade. Tho lremaining
hours were spent in enforced idle
ness, with the result that weekly
hotel bills and expense accounts
scared.
But the development of tho motor
car. and particularly the light conf
mercial car. is rapidly doing away
with these old-fashioned methods
of wholesale selling. An interest
ing sample of the successful use
of such a car is that Of Il. \.
Riycs. shoe salesman in south
eastern Alabama.
In August. 1918. Mr.. Rivcs bought
Dodge Brothers business car
and aba andon"d the southern rail-
roads as a means of covering his
territory. Since that day the car
has been in continual use. carry
ing the salesman. driver and a
bulky 700 pounds Of samples To
the Dodge Brothers dealer from
whom the car was purchased, Mr..
Rives wrote:
Il find that | can make nearly
three times as many towns in
week as l formerly could by rail-
road and the weekly expense is no
greater. The pulling qualities of
your business car cannot be en-
cellcd, and the upkeep for the time
that l have had it has been too
little to count. The plea asurc OF
not having to wait for trains
would overbalance the entire ex-
pense OF the car. Refer any of the
boys on the road to me if they have
a heavy load and want to go along
without any trouble"

| Q. Is the Simplex valveIess car
still built in this country, and If SO
where?
A. The Simplex car is built in New
! Brunswick. n. j.. but it is not a
valveless job. Some years ago there
was an AmplcX car which had a So
called valveless motor. but that is not
made any more.
Q. Is there any car made today
that has a wooden frame? l used to
own a car with that kind of a frame.
and it was a bird. | can't see why
wooden frames ever went out.
A. The Franklin air cooler has
wooden frame The relative expen-
siveness of the wooden frames and
the difficulties OF manufacture prob
ably caused the predominance OF the
metal frame.
Q. There is a grinding noise in the
gearset of my car. L have cleaned
out the old oil. pushed it with kero
sene and reflled it. l didn't find
anything wrong with it, that l
could see. but the noise continues
Can you suggest the real reason?
A Misalignment of the gears is
the probable basic cause. Metallic
particles or chips from the teeth
have probably worked their way into
the gears. You had better take the
car to the service station and let
them line up the gear-set.
Q. When I let in the clutch OF my
car the whole works jumps like a
kangaroo. l figure there is some
thing wrong with the clutch. What

A. You do not mention the type of

clutch try treating the facing with
meats foot oil, spread evenly on with
a brush. II the clutch is of the disc
type lack of oil is probably the trou-
Bile.
@. Please tell a new owner what
gear ratio means.
A. The gear ratio is the speed of
the crankshaft- in relation to the
speed of the wheels on high gear. If
the gear is four to one the engine
turns over four times to each revo-
luton of the wheels on direct.

not surrendered by the Germans un-

Inasmuch as they were not mentioned

BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Jan. 17.-ltaly has aban-
doned its imperialstic program, defi-
nitely accepting British and Ameri-
can ideas of democratic peace set
tlement. That was the interpreta-
ton in some diplomatic quarters of
the resignation of the entire Italian
cabinet yesterday.
Italy's territorial ambitions have
constituted one of the stumbling
blocks in the peace conference Old
school Italian diplomats stolidly
clung to the determination that the
entire peace program of political and
territorial expansion should be car
ried out. More democratic members
of the government counselled vari-
Gus degrees of modification. This
led to the ministerial crisis, which
reached a climax yesterday. In a
general way Italy to date has been
aligned with France in her general
policies of political and territorial
expansion. She now appears to have
abandoned France and climbed on the
American band wagon.
