TRANSPORTATION
OYER THE HIGHWAYS
goth Century Development If
Transportation by Motor
Truck Most Important.

Highway transportation ID one OF the
oldest forms or modes in existence. i
has had its development through cen
turtles of evolutionary progress from the
times when the pyramids were new UP
10 the present time.
Transportation over the highways
from the dawn Of Egypt's greatness was
carried on by caravan over the desert,
be called highway. as we know 1t. but
a highway nevertheless. This was fol-
lowed by the pack mule, the horse, and
finally we come to the great Roman
highways through which Rome con-
quered the world.
From the birth OF our nation trans
portation over the highways has been
rather slow in advancement, for with
the horse as the pulling power distance
could not be. covered economically or
swiftly, and so we were forced to turn
our attention to transportation by water
and the later development by rail.
These methods served we'll in building
up an inland empire and in blazing the
way for civilization in Its march to the
Pacific.
But while our. waterways and our rail-
ways opened the way they were limited
In capacity and were soon overburdened
by the commerce which followed in their
wake. Then too the network Of rails
which reached across the continent
passed by and failed to reach vast areas
Of our country, which in later years
were to furnish the great bulk of our
food products.
So after centuries, when we had
thought Of transportation over the high
ways as a thing that was dead and past
recovery. the motor truck comes on the
scene and not only revives this method
OF transportation in a time OF need,
when three fourths of the world was car
rying on a war for liberty, but breaks
all records in smashing time in war and
peace time hauling.
The advance of the Germans was
halted by the despatch in which troops
and ordnance went forward on the bat
tefields of France.
Food products which were raised on
ways and waterways reached tidewater
via the motor truck, 50 that We were
able to produce more and send more to
ourarmies and our.allies.
The war is now over, but still we
must feed the world. and II we are
going to do It and in addition lower
the cost of living we must induce the
farmer to cultivate and produce more.
He will do it If we can furnish the
means OF transportation.
You have the means when you apply
the motor truck-when you organize and
| operate a rural motor express. II you
will do this and give its management
as much intelligent thought as you
would any business you will not only
succeed but you viii have rendered your
nation a service which Is worth while.
! Motor transport days are being held
In many States and hundreds Of cities
throughout the country. Many have al
ready been held and great results have
come from them in making a bigger.
better and richer community. Make

investigation Planned 60 Protect
Motor Car Owners.
There is need for a thoroughgoing in
vestigation into the legislative require
ments of motordom in New York State,
and after that for the execution of the
programme laid out. This is the gist Of
conferences that c. H. Larson of the
Oldsmobile Company has been having
with various members of the Motor
Club and with several recognized civic
leaders.
1t Is Mr.. Larsons contention that the
continued development Of motor traffic
and ownership has brought about a sit
uation SO complex and so far reaching
that It is necessary to prepare real,
constructive plan of action. 1t is only
through concerted effort and with a COM
plete programme in hand that automo-
bilists will obtain the requisite measure
Of attention. according to Mr.. Larson.
Reference is made by the Oldsmobile
president to the recent report of DR..
e. II. Porter, Commissioner OF Foods
and Markets, on the results of a survey
by the Bureau of Weights and Measures.
This examination covered more than
1000 gasolene pumps Mr.. Larson says.

Recently, announcement Of the change

ooratIon. with factory and executive

Corporation was offered for subscrip-
don by brokers in New York. Cleve-
land. Chicago and Rochester and the
entire issue was oversubscribed before
sny public announcement was made.
The new organization, as 1t now ex-
lists is a reincorporaton of the COM

on a five quart purchase. There were
instances in which the shortages were
as high as one-third.
Conceded that most of the short de-
llveries were due to defective filling APP
paratus rather than to deliberate fraud,
the fact still remains that the tens of
thousands of motorists who have been
served at these stations have been
treated with gross unfairness, to say the
least, 1t is certainly not too much to
demand of a man who disposes Of his
merchandise by neutrality-suspicious., In
this case-that he shoulder all respon-
sibillty for the accuracy and reliability
of that measure.
"Dr. Porter is to be commended for
the promptness and efficiency with which
his division follows up every complaint !;
but so long as pump operators are per-
mitted to wipe out by an apology the
record Of short deliveries we shall not
have adequate protection for motorists"

PRACTICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Ammeter Trouble.

When the ammeter shows a rate Of
charge or discharge very much higher
than usual II may be accepted as an in
dication that there is a cross somewhere,
30 that the battery is not getting the
current intended for 1t.
Top Mending.
To mend a tear in the top it Is best
to use woollen yarn to draw the edges
together, after which a top OF material
similar to that Of the top Is applied
with rubber cement. set by the vulcan
izef.
OverheatinE on Low.
When IL is necessary to employ the
low gear for a considerable period II is
possible to obviate the overheating that
would ordinarily result by keeping the
mixture in the leahest possible condition.
Fierce Clutch.
The car owner should remember that
when the clutch is fierce In taking hold
and does not have a slight slip, the
mechanism that transmits the power
from the engine to the drive wheels, par
t.cularly as regards pinions. universals
and gear teeth. receives destructive
strains.
When Brakes Are Dangerous.
In descending long. steep hills, II the
brakes are applied so that the wheels
cannot turn the car is apt to skid in a
most precarious manner. Under such
conditions tire chains with cross chains
on every link and a Transmission brake
form the best method Of descent.

SOME DEALERS
HAVE CLOSED CARS
They Were Fortunate in Get
ting Orders to Body Build
ers Early.

There is a serious shortage of closed
cars Only dealers who placed their
orders with the body builders eight to
twelve months ago are able to offer any
closed cars at this time to meet win
ter's needs. The demand for these cars
Is the greatest in years. and many per-
sons who do not order at once are GER
tain to be disappointed.
A shortage Of upholstery material is
only one Of the reasons why body build
ers have refused to take any more or
dera Although some of them could
build more bodies. they could not fur
nish them throughout, and therefore
could not deliver them. Their refusal
to take new orders is therefore q nat
ural proceeding.
The foregoing are the observations of
z. s. Partridge, the well known Owen
Magnetic man, who has made n careful
investigation of the closed car situation
and Is urging immediate action on the
part of prospective buyers because he
wants to see the fewest possible number
OF them disappointed in deliveries. He
quite frankly admits that he Is one of
the small group of dealers who have a
limited number of closed cars to deliver
because they got their orders to the body
builders early.
IL certainly do congratulate those
prospects for closed cars who already
have their orders in," said Partridge.
Although we have felt the shortage we
are fortunate in having some owen
Magnetic closed cars that are near
ing completion and will be on exhi-
bition in our showroom in a few days.
There are few OF these cars that are
not already spoken for, and we are
ready to turn them over to buyers right
away. II there was not a serious short
age one might think from what I say
that I have-a selfish motive in urging
the immediate purchase of these cars
