HAULING
CUTSLIVING COST

+ Transportation is the biggest item
in the cost of living. II Is q matter
of common knowledge that in many
instances the cost OF transportation
exceeds the entire cost of production.

The night for lower cost OF living

costs" says r. +. Fulton, vice presi-
dent OF the International Motor Com
pany. manufacturers of Mack trucks.
AT the present time there are three
principal means Of freight transport
tation; railways, waterways, and
motor trucks OF the three the motor
truck most intimately serves the in
terests of the public. To get the
maximum beneht possible from the
motor truck. roads should be so con-
structed as to be able to bear the
traffic OF the most economical units.
The size of the unit should be deter
mined by the amount that can be
economically and efficiently handled
in any individual case. In some cases
a 2-ton truck Is more economical be-
cause 2-ton loads are the largest
loads hauled In other cases, the
loads are ga. 81, or possibly IA
tons. It all depends upon the vol
Where ~ ton truck can be used.
it is Is or 20 per cent cheaper per
ton mile to operate than a 5h -ton
truck. It costs no more for a driver
for 71s-ton truck than for u ton
truck. The difference in the amount
of fuel consumed and the cost Of
tires is not in proportion to the
greater efficiency of the larger unit
One driver with a ~ ton truck can
handle as much freight as seven
drivers with 1-ton trucks.
The cost of maintaining the IA
ton truck is nowhere near what Il
costs to maintain seven 1-ton trucks.
Big units find their chief use in large
commercial and Industrial centers
and on main arteries of traffic be-
tween these centers. 1t is on these
streets and highways that millions
OF tons of supplies are hauled for
use by people in cities and towns in
all parts OF the country. To lower
the cost OF this transportation is to
lower the cost Of products to con-
sumers."

ed to Duluth, not many miles from
their home town.
In spite OF the extent of the trip
the boys seemingly never tired of rid
ing. They were as highly enthusi-
astic upon their return as they were
at the start, it is said They declare
their experiences are worth many
hundreds of dollars to them, and that
they would not have missed the OPP
portunity for anything" All have
nothing but praise for the Model 80
which carried them over the $4,000
mile journey.
During the entire trip they were
not compelled to change the spark
plugs with which the car was equip
ped at the factory, the original plugs
still giving efficient service. They
estimate that the car averaged fifteen
miles to the gallon of gasoline with
the trailer and twenty-five miles
without, which is considered remark
able in view Of the desert and noun
tain roads over which they passed.

PLAN ABSTRACTS.TO
CHECK AUTO THEFTS

A reaIa solution of the .motor-car
theft problem and a reduction on theft
insurance rates of at least so per cent
is the promise of 100000 Detroit
and Chicago corporation which pro-
poses to issue abstracts of title for
automobiles.
No more feasible plan has been adj
vanced for the complete and absolute
elimination of the automobile thief.
1t will be quite as impossible to steal
and sell a motor car so protected as
it would be in the case of real estate.
In fact, the automobile abstract finds
an exact parallel in the abstract is
sued for real estate-to prove owner
ship and guarantee title.
From the motorists point of view
the immediate and most important re.
suits will be a material reduction in
theft rates, which, in many parts of
the country are now prohibitive.
In addition, the abstract will serve
a number of other worthy purposes,
such as providing information of
mortgages, liens, and similar legal
claims which may exist against a
car.
The automobile abstract is the big
gest thought in motor car protection
since the advent of the automobile
itself. 1t is the only logical, business
like manner in which S5,55O,000, 900
of motor car wealth can be ade-
quately protected.

One Of the best opportunities for

Tho plans provide for motor

Their cement the friendly relations Of
the United States and Canada. There
never was a finer opportunity for
making q Road of Remembrance
great international highway lined
with memorial trees in honor of the

highway is rapidly being pushed, and
today Louisiana officials are touring
the prospective route with the slogan
From the Palms of the Pines In
Isouisiana Victory oaks have been
planted all along the route that lies
in that State. Carrying out this
idea, as can easily be done, we would
have "Road of Remembrance" right
through the heart of the two coun-
tries. The value of such q project to
business, touring and friendliness
cannot be estimated.
The greatest burden of good roads
IS civilization In Canada the house
has voted $4,000, 900 fer good roads.
In the United States a half billion has
been voted for the work. This should
be but a starter, and all these roads
should be made national and inter
national memorial highways. The
American Forestry Association is reg
istering all memorial trees in na--
tional honor roll. Counties through
which the roads pass should take UP
the memorial tree planting plans at
once. Memorial groves and memorial
parks should be planted at convenient
places Of easy access.
