The session adjourned without con.
sidering the report on responsibilities
providing for the trial Of the German
ex-emperor by five judges from the

Cultured Aindu4

In Bengal there are about seventy
millions of people, and they boast Of
perhaps the best culture in India at
the present time. The language as a
written language is only fifty years
old. Though for over thousand
years it has been a dialect, there is in
Indian history unfortunately no trace
of Bengali having been an important
literary tongue. The language has
borrowed its alphabet. grammar and
vocabulary. There are numerous Per.
sian. Arabic and English words incor.
porated in it. and the wonder Of it is
that. instead of having been degraded
into some vulgar form like pidgin
English, Bengali has become the most
literary, scientific and perhaps the
most philosophic of modern Indian
languages.

~ keeps his business alive because Of
inferior delivery methods.
The farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling of his product is
a vital consideration. For instance.
take the case of the dairy farmer who
now makes two deliveries day with
his motor truck in less time than he
used to be able to make three deliv-
cries week. His milk is. sweeter, the
price is higher. And so it goes all
along the line, the motor truck has
proved not only its speed. but its econ

Increased Use Of Trucks.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of anyone who makes a Serious study
Of transportation conditions as they ex-
list the country over, but that the next
few years will see nm amazing increase
In the use of trucks. Because speed,
economy and adaptability to varied
work will be vital considerations 1t
seems certain that the greatest de-
mand will be for moderately light-duty
vehicles.

Personal Illustration.

The master of a Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lessons Of
the third standard when the child
whose turn it was to read came across
the word "hireling."
"What is a hireling':" asked tie
teacher.
The boy thought for moment or
two, and then replied, II don't know"
The question was next propounded to
the entire class, with like result.
The master then explained the mean-
ing of the word as lucidly as he could,
and. at the conclusion Of his expla-
nation, repeated the question.
"Please, SIR" replied the boy ad,
dressed. "you're q hireling; YOURS
paid to teach us"

When the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the
railroads and paralyzed shipping con-
llitions, the world was brought to a
realization of what motor trucks could
accomplish in emergencies. Thousands
of business men learned the answers
to their individual transportation prob
TENS and will permanently profit by
them. 1t is apparent, on the other
hand. that many others have even yet
failed to come to complete realiza-
ton of all that the motor truck means
to present and future transportation.
No industry. no business house re-
quiring either pickup or delivery can
obtain full success today without the
use of one or more trucks. The pub
lie demands quick service-mOt0r
truck delivery is the solution.

ALL FAMILIES
WANT AN AUTO
Machines Have Rapidly Devel-
oped From ''Freak" Stage to
Absolute Necessity.
LARGE FACTOR N PROGRESS
Production Has Increased by Leaps
and Bounds Until To-day There
Are More Than 10000 Motor
Cars In the United States.

When the first horseless carriage
appeared we looked it over curiously.
nudged each other knowingly, made
jOcular remarks and went about our
business wondering what those crazy
inventors would do next. Thus began
the evolution of what Is today our
third greatest industry. From the
freak stage, the automobile developed
into a rich mans plaything.
Finally, after many vicissitudes, we
were forced to recognize it as pos
sible commercial proposition.
From possibility to II probability
and soon to a certainty-the auto.
mobile quickly arrived at its proper
position In the scheme of things. And
that position Is an exalted one.
All Families Want Cars.
The automobile today is SO. effec.
tive a factor in the progress and hap
piness of humanity that it is every
family's ambition to possess one.
Logically, its production has in.
creased by leaps and bounds, until to.
day there are more than 100000 au.
tomobiles in the United States alone.
They have become national neces.
sity, employed in every avenue of in.
slustry--to save time and widen zones
Of trade.
They have brought fresh air and
the wonders of the open country to
multitudes, lessening distances and
promoting closer fellowship.
That, in brief. is the past and pres
ent Of the automobile.
What, then, of the future?
We hear much less than formerly
of the approach of q so-called satura-
ton period-a time when so many
cars will have been built that sharp
curtailment of output must come.
Industry in infancy.
The more we reflect, investigate and
analyze, the more our common sense
tells us that the building Of cars is
still an infant industry.
In the first instance. we take into
account that which we all know to be
true; namely. that lie who once owns
a car will contrive to own one as long
as he has the price.
That means. in round figures. that
more than million automobiles must
be built this year TO replace those that
will wear out. This is on the con
sentative basis that the average cal
has useful life of five years.
The future of the automobile Il
something for succeeding generations
to worry abOut-maybe-bu he Is {
rank pessimist who will say toda!
that 1t is anything but rosy.

IN WASHING CAR
Operation Can De Performed by Man
Working Alone II Barrel 10

The great difficulty in washing au-
where no water under pres
sure is available. is to operate the
sprayer pump, and ut the same time
use sponge effectively. says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A large water
and air-tight barrel with both heads in
tact will be required. A faucet or
valve, to which hose can be attach
ed, Is inserted in one of these heads.
The barrel is then placed, with the
faucet down, upon some sort Of plat
form. A hose is attached to this fau.

pump. After the valve IS opened, wa
ter should be pumped into the barrel,
until it is about three-fourths full. The
