FRENCH FAVORED MARMoN.
Ordered Hundreds of Famous
Motor Car for Army General staff.

France. the creator of the motor
car. paid a signal honor to the Nor
dyke & Marmou Co. when in the
midst of the world conflict she placed
orders for several hundred Marmon
s4s for the use of the French gen.
eral staff. Confronted by the need
of cars which could measure up to
the varied and exacting requirements
of the staff. the French high commits
sion to America learned of the Mar
mon 34's fine record in the United
States Army active service test in
the Big Bend district of Mexico. An
investigation of the merits of the car
for unremitting service under most
adverse circumstances proved favor
able and an order was given.
No race in the world is a better
Judge OF fine motor cars than the
French. In France the motor car
was first created and perfected. In
France. long before the war, the
French army tested out motor cars
and trucks for active service Their
test standards became world stand
ards The saving of Paris. the win
ming of Verdun by motor cars and
trucks are too well known to re-

ACTUAL CAR COST LOWER
THAN FOUR YEARS AGO

automobiles that have not been
priced fctitiously are cheaper today
than they were four years ago" says
Ernest Selby, president of the Selby
Company, Paige car distributors.
This statement sounds like para
dox because there have been some
advances in that period. AS matter
of fact these advances were not in
proportion to the cost of labor and
materials.
The price tag on car today as
compared with the price on the same
car four years ago does not tell the
true story To get fair idea of the
present price there are vital facts to
be considered. These relate to the
average individuals earning power
the price he can get for the things he
sells to make a living and the amount
of the commodity he makes which ne
must exchange in the open market
for the article he wishes to purchase,
The best illustration l can think of
to explain this point is found in the

business Of the farmer. The latters
wages. or buying power, lie in his
crops or their market value. The
staple article on the American farm -
wheat. In 1914, or about four years
ago, the farmer received 80 cents a
busheI for wheat. Therefore, If he
wished to buy a car that then sold
for, say s1,o50. he. practically spe ak
ing, paid about LIS bushels OF wheat
for 1t.
To-day. II the car costs him as much
as $1,555 he has to pay only about
700 bushels of wheat for 1t because
wheat today is valued at S226 a
busheI. In other words. while the car
has apparently gone up SO per cent.
it costs the farmer only so per cent
as much as it did four years ago"

short-Rail Hauls Do Not Pay.

"a study made by Mr.. McAdoo's ad-
nninistration experts has shown that it
rarely, IL ever, pays the railroads TO
handle short hauls. During the war,
by cooperation and mutual consent,
we have transferred much OF this
short-haul traffic to the highways. As
6 result freight can, within reasonable
limits, be hauled from the door of the
shipper to the door of the consignee
more cheaply than any railroad can
carry.
"As a consequence, too, the railroads
win hardly build many more feeder
lines; in fact, the state of Kansas has
about decided not to build any more
electric intersuburban traction lines
The analysis made by the railroad
administration proves that most of
these feeder lines never have paid and
were all the while economically un-
sound.
The feeder lines of the future will
largely be highway transport vehicles,
gasoline driven. running over i'm
proved roads from the producing
vendors to the shipping points Of the
railroads. trolleys and inland water
ways. thus developing the country on

In addition to prompt delivery
they offer you extra pracaution and

TRUCKS PROVE THEIR WORTH
AS THE HAULERS OF FREIGHT
H. S. Firestone Says They Were Utilized
as Necessity, But Are Destined to
Provide Feeder Lines.

In an interview with Harvey s. Fire
stone of the Firestone Tire and Rub
Der Company. on shipping by truck,
Mr.. Firestone said;
when the motor truck came into
being few vars ago few people
apprehended that truck traffic was
going to be a very considerable factor
in the transport OF the future. No
one thought that the railroads could
be superseded for freight hauling;
least of all did the railroads and ex-
press companies.
Some time later the idea entered
the minds of both of them; it also en-
tered the minds of numerous truck
owners. Still none of them realized
the possibilities The truck owner dc
not think for moment that he. with
his trucks, could compete with the
express companies and the railroad
companies. 1t was generally consid-
cred that they had the monopoly on
freight and express handling.
War Brings Changes.
4'The war changed all that When
verdun was saved. when the defense
of the great Somme valley was ac-
complished, when the Chateau Thierry
victory was achieved, each one made
possible by a victory of allied motors
over German railroads, the motor
truck was put on the map TO stay In
this country the railroads were simply
flooded with traffic; they couldn't be-
gin to handle the volume. They were
SubnerGed
short hauls were unprofitable; that
the only raffic they could handle at a
profit was the long distance haul On
the other hand. the truck owner
driven to it by circumstances beyond
his control. began to convey both
freight and express consignments by
truck He was surprised TO find that
he could do it at a profit, and that ne
could run his trucks on schedule time.
.tAt first, of course. the truck owner
expected great hostility on the part
of the railroads. Possibly there was
some such feeling for while, but the
truck owner presently became aware
that the railroads. instead of object
ing to truck traffic were beginning
to welcome il as an adjunct to their
own systems. Trucks are taking away
the Improbable short haul from
the railroads and making of it Il
profitable haul for themselves. In
stead of hurting the railroads, truck
traffic is helping them, by bringing
huge amounts of perishable freight.

Striking Feature Is the Total Out

An estimate issued by the bureau of
public roads based uron returns from
twenty states shows a total probable ex-
penditure of s3s5 600. 600 in the several
states, exclusive of the amendment to
the federal aid road act passed by the
present Congress. This amendment car

ing the total funds for the year s516,-
600, 900, or s24t 100000 above the average
| for 1915 and 1917.
A striking feature OF the report is the
I total outlay to be expended under the

partments. This amounts to s2350eo,

Another advantage of motor truck
transport has TO do with the rehan-
ling of goods. The cost of rehandiing
is becoming one of the great prob
lens of all transportation experts.
Rehandling involves more labor, pos
sible damage to goods warehousing
and delay. Within its sphere highway
transport eliminates these objection
able factors and lends it's value to the
general scheme of transportation.

OPERATORS
PASSBUCK' IN
COAL STRIKE
TO GARFIELD

The coal operators passed the
buck" to the Government today.
They went into conference with
the Fuel Administrator, DR.. Harry
A. Garfield, with the plan of put
ting the issue of wage increases for
the miners squarely up to him.
Ask to Increase Price.
They ask assurance that they will
be permitted to increase prices to
meet the new scale of labor costs
which concessions to the miners will
impose. Inasmuch as maximum coal
prices have been restored by DIR. Gar.
field, to guard against profteering
during the strain of a possible coal
shortage. the operators insist on an
/ understanding with the Admin fetra
tion in advance of any negotiations
with the representatives of the miners
Withdrawal of price restrictions
would follow as soon as normal condi-
tions were restored, according to the
precedent the Government set when
the Fuel Administration was dis
solved, in all but name, several months
ago, and re-created only under the ex-
traordinary conditions created by the
strike. The operators are asking a
pledge that the same policy will be
followed when their differences with
the miners are adjusted.
Forecast Ashort, supply.
The administration will be wary
about committing itself to the policy
although there is no disposition to
contest the operators claim that
wage increases necessarily will in
volve higher market prices for coal.
That this normal increase will be ac-
centuated by a "short" coal supply
during the coming winter months,
when the effects of the present period
OF non-production begin to make
themselves felt, is the contention OF
