TRUCK EFFECTS Studded

A bulletin of wide public Interest
soon to be issued by the Bureau OF
Public Roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture will deal with
the subject of motor trucks, their rap
.dly increasing use in this country,
and the effects on the highways of
this new method of transporting
freight. TIE research which forms
he basis for this report, the investi-
gators point out, is necessarily of a
preliminary character, the bulk Of

a period when truck traffic on the
highways was abnormally large on ac-
count of the war. Further study will
be necessary to determine definitely
the type of highway best suited to
withstand this heavy traffic

It incloses marvellous cellar for

attention to an opportunity offered
to purchase the latest papers at
