ways must have been we'll above that
considered legal in the majority of
states for the ordinary touring car
The weight Of each of the two
trucks, fully loaded, was approxi-
mately nine tons. 1t is scarcely to
be wondered at therefore that the
principal difficulty encountered was
the inadequate strength of many CT
the bridges and the necessity of their
reinforcement by the truck crews.
Difficulties of Designers.
The use of such enormous pneu-
matte tires-eight, 10 and IL inches
in diameter of cross section-pre-
sents many difficulties which must
be solved by the truck designer as
we'll as by the truck owner. II the
principal advantage to be gained is
the increased speed allowable, with
no corresponding damage to the
load from vibration, the truck de-
signer will find it necessary to in
crease the power developed by the
engines. This has been undertaken
in several instances, such, for ex-
ample, as the use in a threelton
truck of an engine designed for
fve-ton ton vehicle. A further
change in truck design made nee
essary by the possible future devel-
opment of large pneumatics is the
reduction in truck weight through
the practical elimination of harmful
even at the high speeds
of travel at 80 or 40 miles an hour.
The riding sensation on a fully load
ed fve-ton truck is as comfortable
as that in the expensive and finely
balanced touring car. It is stated by
some advocates of the use of pneu-
matte tires that such equipment will
enable 1000 pounds to be saved in
the dead weight of three or FIVE
ton truck, for axles, frames and
other parts ordinarily subject to the
devasting effects of vibration. This
would logically mean a reduction in
cost-but it would also mean that
a truck designed for use Of pneu-
matte tires should not be run on
solid tires.

BY F. w. FEM,
Secretary Rural Motor Express Commit
tee, National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce.

OF commerce,
II has been said that when things
have grown so old that they were
almost forgotten they again become
new and are adapted to meet our
present-day needs, and transporta-
ton over the highways is one OF
them. In the utilization Of modern
methods we have perfected trans
portation on land and sea, but the
former was over steel rails The
coming of the motor truck filled that
need, and ii came at a time Of ma
tional peril.
AT the outbreak of the war the
crying need of the world was food.
In order to encourage greater pro-
duction the rural motor express
came into being for moving the
foodstuffs raised by the farmer with
the greatest dispatch over the high
ways to the centers of population.
Secretary Redheld recently said that
you may build the railroad up until
it is 10 blocks wide and fill the riv-
ers with steamers and still the farm
ers' transportation needs are un-
served, so the motor truck becomes
the source of supply Of food.
Medium Of Distribution.
The motor truck has also been the
medium of final distribution for the
food arriving at tidewater for our
men overseas, for the conditions inn
posed by war, causing constant
moving of troops, made it impossi-
bic to do this by rails. So it is safe
to say that food did win the war, for
without it bullets and men would
have failed, and as every dealer
should do his utmost to encourage
the organization of rural motor ex-
press lines, he should either get
Others to operate them or operate
them himself, as many in Castle
Rock, Colo, who have combined
their business opportunities with the
general advances of economic distri-
button of farm products.
The company has several trucks
which make regular trips to Dem
yer, a distance of'32 miles, bringing
to the metropolis dairy products and
returning with load of small wares
to be dropped at towns along the
way. Fruit, vegetables, milk and
eggs arrive in market or direct 10
the door of the consumer fresh and
desirable on the day they leave the
farm and command the highest mar
ket prices. 1t is regarded by agri-
cultural experts as the most encour-
aging and potent indication to the
farmer that no matter what his pro-

Practical Paragraphs-Hed
Grinding Small Screws.

In assembling magnetos, horns
speedometers and similar parts diff
ficulty is frequently experienced in
starting the various small screws
that are too small to be put in by
hand. This operation may easily be
accomplished by holding the screw
between the legs of a pair of
straight callipers, compasses, or by
slipping it in the slit of an ordinary
steel pen. The screw can then be
turned by means of small screw
driver. Nuts that are located in an
inaccessible position can be re-
placed in the same means.

take up life again on a new plane. p"
For the women of France and
England this readjustment of self
will not be so difficult, Miss Tar
bell believed, because the war has
touched them more nearly. II has
come into their homes, and from
the first they have not been cut off
from the men who were going
through it. For them, therefore,
there is no strange chasm to
bridge. But the American women
have been entirely cut off from the
war, and they have no key to the
change that has taken place in the
souls of their men. Therefore It
will only be by loving observation
and a patient, sympathetic earn
est desire to understand that they
will be able to attain the plane of
the men of their families.
