Expressmen Meet and Urge
Better Packing and Marking

The nationwide campaign inaug-
urated by the American Railway
Express Company to bring about
better methods of packing and
marking express shipments, began
to-day with the first of series OF
meetings of express employees to be
held in this city during the month
of the drive. At convenient periods
throughout the day, Agent j. G. NC
Niece called together groups of his
co-workers and urged them to put
their full force behind the campaign
now under way and to work with
shippers in accomplishing decisive
results in bettering the express SER
vice.
Vehicle men, depot platform and
claim bureau and Office employees
were each addressed by the agent
or his -four minute men," who made
stirring appeals for their active CO.
operation and keen interest in the
drive. The speakers told the eX-
press workers that they, indivi-
dually and collectively, could give
valuable aid in the campaign by
bringing their work up to the high
est standards. There is room for
improvement everywhere, they stat
ed. Owing to conditions brought
about by the war, they admitted.
the express service had not been as
good as the company had expected
to make it. But with these OBJ
stacles removed and every express
man doing his part. the way has
been cleared for very marked
change for the better.
In urging the men to seek the
cooperation of shippers in the
drive, the agent brought to the at
tention of the drivers the necessity
of giving them all the aid possible
in bringing their packing and ,0ark-
ing methods up to the required
standard. 1t was acknowledged that
the manner of packing and mark
ing varies with the comm odities,
but the question of whether a ship
ment is in proper condition for han
ding to destination safely must be
left to the. good judgment of the

SoO,OO0 miles for Wouters' Laundry, Chlcago Another owned by the Vest field Laundry. of Westfield, Mass, has run 100000 miles. The Waltham LaIn- dry of Waltham. Mass, owns two Whites that have covered more than 100000 miles each
 ! One-truck or even two-truck in- stallations with mileages over 100000 might appear sporadic-were it not for the fact that they intersperse instaila- tons of Whites in which whole fleets have similar records.
 Three White trucks owned by the Telling Belle Vernon company of Cleveland. manufacturers of ice cream, have run over 100000 miles each. Bull locks Department store, in Los An geles, Cal. owns five Whites that have gone over 100000 miles each. The Emerick bus Line company of Bellefont, Pa, and Madary's Flaming Mill of Fresno. Cal, each have six-un.: White fleets with mileages of 120,0o0 to 150,000 miles for each truck Seven White trucks owned by Sterling & Welch. Cleveland furniture dealers, have mileage records ranging from 101,250 to 139,2 250.
 In the Big fleet of White trucks owned by the White Transit company of Plymouth. Pa. are Is units with mileages between 132,400 and 242,2
 In the service of Gimbel Brothers New York store is a fleet of 25 Whites each of which has passed the 100000 mile mark.
 The Bradford Baking company of Los Angeles, Cal, owns 2e White trucks whose mileages average 102,1S4 each
 It is to be remembered that the in stances herein cited are simply typical cases selected from among many. There has been no effort here even u indicate the variety of lines of servics in which White trucks are attaining big mileages As matter of actua! record White trucks are known to have exceeded 100,e00 miles in services that take in 49 lines of business.

MAGNETO IGNITION
 WINS CYCLE RACE

On June F, 1919, Edward Myers, Jr., of Redlands won the free-for-all auto race, held at Ontario, Cal, at their home com- ing celebration, with a stock stripped Ford, fitted with a two spark Eiseman magneto.
 On June p the first five winners of the 2oo-mile national championship race, held at Ascot park, Los Angeles were all rid ing motorcycles magneto equipped. In fact. every motorcycle that participated in this race took off the battery ig- hilton system and installed magneto, thus making their machine about 10 miles per hour faster, and causing the motors to run cooler. This was strictly a stripped stock motorcycle race; the rac- CTS averaged 72 8 miles per hour even though each cyclist was delayed by two 70 three tire changes. No mechanical u'oubles of any kind occurred. When motorcycle riders want reliability they use nagneto ignition.

Life Of Motor Truck Based
 On Miles, Not Years
Extensive Survey Is Conducted by the White Company Determine Truck Longevity-Exceed 100000 Miles Ultimate Mileage of Whites Still Unmeasured.
 Many Pass the 100000 Mark

How long should a good motor truck last?
 In the light of present-day motor truck development, that question, pertinent as 1t always has been and always will be to the truck owner and prospective owner. must be revised to read, says W. c. Cowan of the Bir- mingham factory branch:
 How far will a good truck run?
 Miles-old is the true measure of the aggregate of a trucks service. Due to differences in the needs of busi- ness. it is possible for one truck to travel or or 10 times as far as another in the same time-althouSh both operate efficiently.
 Tn all kinds of service and under al, sorts of conditions, White trucks are demonstrating that the total of trucks service must be gauged not in age but in mileage So many Whites have covered more than 110,- 900 miles each, for instance, that achievement. has become a common place performance.
 In some instances White trucks have so far exceeded 100000 miles-anj kept right on running-that their rec ords border on the spectacular For instance. White, equipped with a nger-carrying body and owned by Alexander & Walling of Fresno, Cal. has travelled 300, ,000-a half million miles. This mileage was made, Of course. in a service calling for daily runs longer than are required of trucks in ordinary service; and it is to ord;- nary service that the greater interest attaches.
 At random from an extensive list of White trucks that are known to have covered more than 100000 miles there have been selected the following spe- cific instances of trucks in ordinary service:
 Two White trucks owned by Armour X Co. and in service in Spokane, Wash, have traveled more than 100000 miles each. White truck owned by the East Ohio Gas company of Cleveland, Ohio, has covered more than 100 000 miles; another owned by the Los An geles Gas and Electric corporation of Las Angeles. Cal has gone 1S1,T2s miles, and another owned by the Tit pany of St Paul, Minn., has topped 20o,00o miles
 In the strenuous service of news paper publishing companies Whites have rolled up goodly mileage. The Memphis News -Scimitar of Memphis, Tenn. and the St. Paul Daily News of st- Paul, Minn, each own White truck that has passed the 100, 000-mile mark. and another owned by the Mon treal Gazette Of Montreal. Quebec, has 10000 miles to it's credit.
 Laundry delivery service, with it's many stops and starts. may be consid cred as well calculated to test the staraina and endurance of any truck. A White truck has covered more than

FIRING A BULLET
 TO TEST TIRES
Test at Anniston Shows Dependability
 Against Punctures

Firing 9 bullet into tire to test it's vulnerabiity is practice not often re- sorted to. because tires are expensive, yet the United States Tire company has in it's records proof that a bullet fired into one of it's big Hobby Cord Pneumatic truck tires at Camp. Mcclellan, Anniston, failed to puncture the tire, says l.. G. Kennedy of the local branch.
 One of the claims made by the United States Tire company for it's big pneu- matic is that they are suited for any kind of work over any kind of ground because of their ability to resist punc- lures.
 At Camp Mcclellan one night the pro- vost guard attempted to arrest a man for some offense. The man ran and jumped on motor truck. To frighten the fugi- tive the guard fired his pistol. The lead bullet entered a Hobby Cord tire and em- bedded itself in the thread, but did not pierce the fabric. The bullet remained in the tire for several months before it was removed, badly flattened

 In this car the driver was then protect ed by sides and roof, entrance being, of course, by a door.

While I was wrestling with the door. and I was rather groggy fnom the blow I had gotten on the side of the head. the car burst into flames. It looked as if was going to be broiled alive in- side.

Americanize the Aliens
From Leslie's.

Judge Ebert H. Gary was right when he said at the commencement ex- ercises of Trinity college, Hartford Conn. that the majority of working men in this country stand for law and order. The disorderly clements are in
 the main alien clements, and the prob
 lem is the slow one of educating them
 in the fundamentals of American citi- zenship. Minneapolis has evolved a plan for the education of the large Polish elements of it's population A house to house visitation is made at frequent intervals to study home con ditions of the foreigners, to enlist the mothers as well as the fathers in the study of English. and to raise family living conditions to AmericRn stand ards. Foreigners should be made to See also that certain privileges, not otherwise possessed, go with American citizenship. An example of this is seen in recent ruling by Federal Judge J. M. Killits, in the case of a strike in a large Toledo plant, to the effect that only American citizens be allowed as pickets in the vicinity of the plant. Another un-American trait is the vio- laton of contract obligations by labor Judge Samuel Alschuler of Chicago re- gently warned striking workmen there that every strike or walk out in viola ton of the union agreement with the goveI nment was "a nail in the coffin of collective bargaining" Another out cropping of un-Americanism was rhe denunciation of the courts by the American Federation of Labor for their so-called "usurpation of executive and legislative power" Those who have come here for an asylum and to find economic opportunity must be taugh. also to love and respect the flag and all for which it stands. As Major Gen. L red flag stands for nothing which our government stands for It is against the integrity of the family, the state and the nation"
