TRUCK STYLES VARY
ASMILADY'S GOWNS

There are fashions in motor trucks
as well as in ladies' gowns and
lingerie, though the reasons debating
change in the one are probably
founded on more solidIy utiIitaPian
hAses than rules in the field OF femi-
nine apparel In the March issue. Of
Motor, q writer notes this tendency
toward change in motor truck design
in an article entitled Capacity Lead
ing Truck Theme"
Many truck manufacturers" says
the writer, "are abandoning the lighter
capacities. In 1919 there Is but one
manufacturer of a vehicle Of less than
1000 pounds capacity There have
been as many as nineteen. There
were four times as many half-tonners
IN 1916 as are offered this year. Some
OF the makers who entered the BUSH
ness year or. 80 ago, intending to
concentrate on a single model of half
ton capacity, are now building trucks
up to three tons capacity. The story
of the ] 500 FOUNDER, that buIwark OF
the department store trade, is the
same- What few three-quarter ton
models there are left, are being sold
in larger number than ever, but the
business has simply simmered down
70 q few.
Builders Of one-tonners. however,
refuse to be discouraged and there are
more Of this capacity than ever. The
makers Of this size are not the ones
who made in former years altogether,
as many Of the jobs ia this class are
offered by passenger car builders who
are using the same power plants and
front ends as their passenger cars,
With heavier rear ends and some Of
high reduction rear axle"
:. On the other end Of the capacity
scale, the writer fnds the same con-
ditions prevailing. There are fewer
makes OF the heaviest napacities OF
trucks, but Of the makes being built,
production is on the increase. Just
as At the other end OF the scale, the
Building Of high capacity trucks is a
matter requiring specialized design,
facilities and skill and the market is
likely to simmer down to 4 few
specialists, VINO will reach a produe-
ton which will make competition diff
heUlt for the rank and dle Of con-
GtFuctors. i
In the matter Of price Motors COM
mentator finds that there has been
al average increase Of Ills per cent
over the igures existing a year ago.
The greatest increase has been regis
tered in tn light capacities and in
the three and a half tonners.
AS to what may be termed the most
popular capacities, the table accom-
spanying the article show that the
one ton size leads, with S0.5 per. cent
81 the total. Next follows the two
ton capacity with 27.75 per cent.
There two capacities may be said to
dominate the field. since they account

GRADE CROSSINGS
GROWING MENACE

One Of the most important subjects
discussed at the recent convention of
the State Highway Officials aud
Highway Industries Association was
that of grade crossing elimination.
With the growth of population and
the great increase in the number OF
motor vehicles, grade crossings have
become a great menace to those who
use the highways.
Acting State Highway Engineer
Watson, of Kansas, in his paper OF
this subject, calls attention to the
fact that during the months of July,
August, and September, 1917, $50
persons were kiiled.and 1878 injured
at railroad crossings. He states the
means of eliminating grade crossings
in four classes:
/. BY the construction Of a sub
way under the railroad.
2. BY the construction of a viaduct
over the railroad.
8. BY the relocation of the high
way, and,
4. BY diverting travel to other
roads.
He considers subways expensive
and dependent to a great extent upon
topography. Viaducts he finds like
wise an expensive method, depending
largely on topographic conditions.
Relocation Of highways he refers 10
as the common method of grade cross.
ing elimination. particularly in the
Middle Western States. He also says
that too little attention is given t.
legislation for grade crossing clint
nation and that authority is usually
vested in a public utilities or eervfSe
commission which was more inter-
ested from the standpoint of the rail-
road than from that OF the highway.

FOUR TRUCKSEQUAL
ONE FREIGHT CAR

The wide interest Of the business
world in the question Of motor truck
freight transportation; between cities
Is leading to study and discussion Of
the subject by authorities in every
branch OF motor construction Prob
ably no one has taken a deeper i'm
terest In the subject than General
Sales Manager John Tainsh. OF the
Mitchell Motors Company, Of Racine,
Wis, M Tsinsh, quotes the fellow
ing interesting figures which prove
the practicability OF the proposition
Mr.. TainAh says that on the basis
Of actual performance in many tests
already made, four tWo-ton motor
trucks prove conservatIYeIy' equal IN
ton-miIe capacity TO one freight car.
Official railroad figures give freight
car ton-mileage as forty TONS aVera 80
load carried twenty miles per day
which Is equivalent to forty times
twenty. or 500 tons, carried one r7il"-
The four trucks, on the other hand,
have a,+earFying capacity OF. r0hly
eight tons, instead of forty, but their
mileage will Approximate conserya-
lively 100 miles per day instead Of
twenty This is equivalent to car
rYjng 100 times eight, or 500 tons,
one. mile. That. Is. the e n-Eilea
Is the same az that OF one freight
car -
That the, estimate Of. 100. miles a
day for the motor truck is. conserve
tive is proved by the actual perform
ance of a caravan OF five heavy
trucks which recently made the trip
from Akron to Chicago. tNence TO
Baltimore, a distance OF 1920 miles,
carrying capacity loads of freight.
The trip was made over unfamiliar
roads. yet the actual running time
was only. seyenty-five hours. which
gave an average Speed-Of seventeen
miles per hour. For an eight-hour
driving day this would amount to 13s
miles q day. Furthermore. it requires
twenty-five tons OF steel to build q
freight car, but only about six tons
to build four motor trucks.

Be KIND
TO YOUR TRUCKS

ST the habit Of carefulness' shown
by a truck driver to his horses when
his vehicle was horse-drawn should
be continued in the same degree
when he drives a truck, many eeono-
mics would result. ..
When a driver found that his
horses. hoof had picked up a stone,
he never thought of neglecting 1T and
eoing On. but stopped immediately
and removed the stone. He knew
that to neglect the stone meant Sc
rious injury to the horse and conse-
quent loss to himself.
Solid tires on trucks are as likely
to pick up stones as are horses
hoofs. The stones force their way
into the rubber and sink deeper with
each revolution OF the wheel. To per-
mit them to. remain means an injury
to the tire, which will increase rap
idly.
The United States Tire Company
STATES that the proper course Of pro-
cedure under such circumstances Is
to remove the stone and cut away the
rough edges -
With regard to cuts in solid tires,
the United States Tire Company says
that it is practically impossible for
even the most careful drivers to avoid
them. These cuts should be taken
care of when first discovered. because
with each revolution Of the tire the
cut spreads a little. and in time the
small cut viii become a large fissure
extending down to the hard rubber
base. This then gives rise to sepa-
ration and chipping. The remedy Is
to trim off the edges of the small
cut until, instead of sharp cut, there
is a smooth depression in the tire.
