q motor truck or tractor. the lower
Is the cost per ton of hauiage.
While trains of three or four trail
ers should be excluded from the
most congested streets and sections
of large cities. they should not. for
this reason. be prohibited through
out q State.
Trains of five to ten slow-speed
trailers are much used with tractors
and traction engines for road con-
struction work and for hauling ore
in the mining regions, timber in the
lumber sections, and grain in the
wheat and corn belts. They travel
at not more than five to six miles an
hour and are used where roads have
not been improved or areNunder con-
struction and there Is very little or
no other traf1c. Their operation
should not be prevented by unwise
legislation and registration fees
should be less. on account Of their
slower speed. than for trailers used
in general haulage.
In establishing maximum gross
weights of vehicles and loads, 1T
should be borne in mind that the
combination of truck or tractor
with a semitrailer is construed to
constitute n single unit. but that
with such all OUTFIT the total weight
is distributed over six wheels and
there is no greater concentration
of load on one axle or a single
wheel than when a single truck
carries the load: in fact. with a
given load the weight per wheel
is much less The wheelbase is
also considerably extended and the
weight is not concentrated on a
single span of small bridges. For
these reasons 1t Is logical to permit
greater gross weight for trucks and
semitrailers than for trucks alone.
The allowage weight per ipch
width of tire for trailers should be
greater than for self-propelled We
hicles. in the opinion of trailer
manufacturers. because trailer
wheels are free rolling and do not
have the destructive effect of driv-
ing wheels on road surfaces. This
is not only obvious but is proved by
the fact that tires on trailers give
two or three times the mileage OF
tires on the drive wheels OF motor
vehicles. Wear of the tire Is in
direct proportion to wear OF the
road. Therefore. if 500 pounds per
inch width of tire Is allowed for
motor trucks. 1000 pounds per inch
can properly be allowed for trailer
tires.
The recommendations drawn by
the Trailer Manufacturers Associa-
tion cover the foregoing points and
also include provisions relating to
license plates. lights and other
safety devices or measures.

tire distance without mishap at the
continuous speed OF 120 miles an hour.
Capt. Alcock also said he believed
that within the next twelve months
fiyig boats will be travelling between
England and America with passen-
gers. and remarked that he drove
most of the way with his throttle
but half open. to nurse his engine
and save fuel" The magnetic spark
enabled full power to be obtained
from this lean mixture so that he ar
rived with go gallons OF gasoline still
in his tank, sufficient to take him all
the way to London.
With flying boats such as the NC's
the trip could have beee~ just as
easily made in lone hop" in better
time than the trip made by way or
the Azores. Also, it Is stated. that
had NC's and been magnetic
equipped they would. by means Of the
greater and more reliable power, have
been enabled to reach Horta or Del
gada.
The London Daily Telegraph says
of the fight "it does not eclipse the
glory of the American achievement
but that is because there is no ques-
tion of an eclipse in these matters, as
there is no question Of jealousy
The London Mail also refers to the
"'supremely planned organization OF
the NC-4s record passage"
Comdr. Read, Lieut.. Comdrs. Little
NC-2 said: at is a splendid feat"
Comdr. cad. Lieut. Comlds. Little
and Richardson and all of the Amer
lean aviators expressed the greatest
admiration for the achievement of
Capt. Alcock.
Henry Woodhouse. vice president Of
the Aerial League of America. said:
Too much cannot be said of the re-
liability of the motors used In this
flight, which. combined with the skill
and daring of the aviators and the
reliable instruments for navigation,
opened an entirely new epoch in
aeronautics and permit planning the
use Of airplanes for transportation
over long distances. where the tre-
mendous speed of airplanes can solve
difficult problems of transportation"

ANNOUNCE the
| SEASON MODELS
Series Afford New Advan-
tages in Enclosed
Cars.

In announcing its new all-season
cars. the Cole Motor Car Company
presents q series of automobiles
which afford distinctly new advan-
tages in enclosed car design.
They are a marked Improvement
over the conventional types Of the past
and give to the enclosed equipa ges
characteristics which formerly were
associated only with cars Of the open
type.
There are six models in the line OF
Cole Aero-Eight all-season cars-the
Sportosine. the Sportsedan, the Sport
coupe, the Toursedan. the Tourosine
and the Towncar.
The obvious newness of these six
cars. which more than substantiate
Coles reputation for building auto
mobiles which are q bit ahead Of the
times, 10 revealed in the fiush panel
construction employed throughout.
This eliminates the overhanging of
the super.structure, adds strength to
the design Of the cars. eliminates per-
manently many Of the inherent limi-
tations Of enclosed car use and In
troduces q new beauty Of line tha. Is
instantly appreciated.
In appointments, the new Aero
Eight all-season cars are a decided
departure by way of completeness.
Automatic window regulators are
used throughout. and 80 cleveriy are
the glass panels installed that they
may be dropped down into the lover
body panels and the cars thrown al
most completely open for summer
driving. Other refinements are numer-

THE majority of Americas fore
most economic writers stand to-.
gether on the price question. They
practically agree that prices have
reached a new level and that they
will remain on their new plane for
some time to come" asserts Mr.. ;.
NJ. How, general sales manager OF
The Haynes Automobile Company,
Kokomo, Ind. But with all these
indications to guide the prospective
buyer there still appears to be q
marked degree of hesitancy when
the time to buy Is at hand. Prob
ably the real reason that buyers
are not fully. convinced about the
price question Is because of the
lack OF authoritative information
regarding the present economic
situation. The, mind of the buying
public is being agitsted also by the
wide discussion of the price mat
ter. However. before any final
conclusion is reached 1t will pay
those who are deliberately post
poning their purchases in antici-
patton of reductions to analyze the
fundamentals underlying the cause
for the present price level.
I'm comparing today's prices. pre-
war prices are naturally Drousnt 70
the mind and II Is here where the
comparison is not justified because
economic conditions are entirely dif-
ferent. Before the world conflict there
was every reason for the then salts
factory prices. but the war has
brought about q definite change in
prices as 1t has In SO many other
vital things.
To-day the dollar has a new form /;
a new meaning to the user. Undoubt-
edly the most significant change in the
dollar Is its reduced value in that 1t
viii not buy as much as 1t did prior to
the war And the reason Is easily and
simply explained when the increased
bank clearings and the many other
evidences are considered. The mental
picture is complete when we fully
realize the fact that a greater num-
ber of dollars are in circulation. To-
day the circulation Of money per
