THE MOTOR EXPRESS
{ (American City.)

last three years. during which it has
been used extensively by the armies
OF the great nations at war has led
to its increasing use for the trans
portation of freight This has result
ed in running the roads in many of
our states through excessive overload
ing OF the trucks. However. a care
full view of this new field of endeayor.
which will mean much to the eco.
nomic system OF the country in the
years to come, shows that the motor
truck has been Of great value in saw
ing the country from disastrous
breakdown of its transportation sys-
TEN, inasmuCh as the railroads have
been relieved of the short hauls which
tied up many freight cars uneconomi-
cally.
The advent OF the motor express
has necessitated the more careful
construction and maintenance of ma
tlOnal, state, county and town roads.

test between the highway engineers
and motor truck operators toda.,
with the race in favor of the destruc-
tive agents. although the motor trucI,
operator feels that the onus is NOT an

gineer has not been wise enouph to

cooperative trucking venture has
been undertaken by number of man
ufacturers and proprietors OF mercan-
tile establishments in and around
Chicago. Eighty men representing
business interests in Chicago and
cities within a radius of fifty miles
west of Chicago formed the Western
Truck lines. Rail lines entering Chi
caSo. like the railroads Of the entire
country, found it practically i'm
possible to transport the vast amount
of freight that was dumped at their
doors last spring and summer. AS a
consequence, unavoidable delays in
the transportation Of goods were fire.
quent. On September 8, 1918, daily
motor truck schedules were inaug-
urated between Chicago and West
Chicago and intermediate points
Shortly after. schedules were extend
ed and freight stations were opened
at Aurora. Elgin. Batavia Geneva and
st. Charles At present the longest
haul is 81 miles one way The motor
truck line has now been in operation
a sufficient length of time to thor
ouShly convince its promoters and pa
irons alike of its merit. both as a
profitable investment and as n
medium for quick and economical
shipment of goods. The truck line is
giving a freight service much speed

KALEIDOSCOPE

According to a preliminary report issued by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, the street and interurban railways of the United States during the year 1917 transported over 111,000, 100000 fare paying passengers, representing an average of something more than 100 trips for each man, woman and child in the United States.
 Recen investigations which have been made on the Pacificfi Coast of Mexico reveal the existence of rich deposits of petroleum. These discov- cries are of great importance, be- cause they will ultimately serve to intensity maritime traffic and seem to presage for some of the western ports of Mexico a future as promising as that of Tampico or Tuxpaum.
 England's chief strength lies in it's shipping, it's financing, it's distribution of other nations products. Great Britain has never successfully compet- ed with the United States Or with Germany in industrial production, for it has neither the large scale mechan- ical processes of the one nor the high ly technical and cheap labor of the other. But in it's rale of mercha ndiser or intermediary it's represents the maximum of skill.

BREED THEATRE.

A story by William J. Neidig. pub- lished in the Saturday Evening Post is the basis for the latest Universal Special attra ction The Fire Fingers. which is the feature at the Breed the atre today Rupert Julian directed the picture and also plays the star part or parts-for his is a dual role. Pre- serving all of the interest and fidelity to life of the typical Saturday Evening Post story. The Fire Fingers is more dramatic than the usual run of such offerings Indeed, it's plot borders on the melodramatic. but so consistent is it's development that it maintains it's close relation to life as it is. Julian is at his best in the parts of Richard Olwen the man of wealth. and Rich ard Hatton. the convict. Jane Novak, as the wife gives a aracterization that is second only to the stars in in- terest Fay Tincher, in the part of the adventures who has fascinated Olwell. F.. A. Warren, as Hatton's fel- low convict Fritzie Ridgeway, Clyde Fillmore, William Lloyd and Fred Kel- sey make up a capable cast
 Other pictures on the bill include Bessie Barriscale, supported by Little Ben Alexander and an able, cast in the five part drama Joselyn's Wife. and the Pathe news.
