fuel consumption was less for the we'll
known reason that any pneumatic.tired
vehicle requires less power.
Another factor that was much in
favor Of the pneumatics was the alb
sence Of injury to loads Of fragile ma
terials. Perishable goods suffer less
In pneumatic-tired truck than they
do In a sclid.tired vehicle, even though
the latter go at half the speed.
Lighting was another problem.
First We had kerosene lamps and
then came the carbide tank.
"With some reason there was OBJ
lection to this on the ground that II
was dangerous.
"A lot Of people had to be convinced
that II the car got into smashup the
gas tank would not explode.
ut sounds ridiculous at this late
date, but It is fact, that although
every motorist wanted to get away
from the drudgery and the danger Of
cranking his car there was tremen-
dous opposition to every form of self
starter.
1--WE expected and were prepared for
battle when we decided that the
right thing for a light, high.speed
truck was pneumatic tires. but we have
always believed 1t was our duty to give
the buyer the best our experience die
tated and so we went through with It..
Everyone now admits the pneu-
matic.tired truck Is inevitable. because

for our missionary work."

Contrary to the general superstition,
It is more dangerous to be in advance
Of, than behind, the procession In the

sales manager of an eastern motor
car concern.
~ am reminded of this by the fact
that Just at this time all manufacture
ers are either eQuipping motor trucks
with pneumatic tires or making 1t
optional with the buyer.
after the most exhaustive compar-
alive tests with several trucks Of the
same model. some equipped with
pneumatlcs and others with solid tires,
our engineers found that from every
standpoint the pneumatlc-tired truck
was infinitely superior.
"First-lt was more efficient for the
reason that It would travel Mt nearly
twice the speed and thereby make
twice as many trips In Il given time.
upkeep Cost Less.
"Second-The upkeep cost was al.
most unbelievably less, due to the
fact that not only did we obtain more
mileage on a set Of pneumatics than
on solids, but that the air cushion eff
fects wonderful saving on the

Inlet valves do not run as hot as

Boy Stories by Dan Beard

where Squinty met the man with the
whiskers. Here Mr.. Anderson and
the other men concealed themselves
near the path. Squinty crept silently
away with the pail. The other boys
hid in the bushes near Mr.. Anderson.
All had been cautioned to maintain
absolute silence.
1t seemed ages before anything
happened but when things finally did
get started they moved with a VEN
geance. First, there was a series of
most unearthly growls and oar
from the direction Of the lean-to.
Then there was a chorus of yells and
a rush of feet as three men came
running through the brush. There
were more growls and roars and they
| seemed to be coming nearer. The
boys were SO terrorized that they
were about to bolt for safety when
they saw Anderson and his compan-
ions spring upon the three fleeing
men like so many pantl1ers.
1t was the quickest I'M most deci-
sive struggle the boys had aver seen.
The three terrified men were hurled
to the ground and h~andcuffed before
they realized that the attack was
made by human beings and not by
some ferocious beast.
"Keep the lions back there shout
ed Mr.. Anderson, I'VE want to go in
to the shack All right, boss"
Squinty answered in a voice that
sounded strangely deep and unnatur-
al. Gle told the boys later that he
put his face in the pail to disguise
it, Then there were more growls
and grunts but they seemed to be
receding. The prisoners were SILVER
ing with fear as Anderson and his
friends led them back to the lean-to'
He was in search of evidence, he
said, and it turned out that he found
some that was very important.

Mr.. Anderson knew that Squinty

himself because the men in question
were very dangerous characters. So
when Squinty said that he a a way

that they would run right into the

with no little interest.

Squinty took the wooden a and
made a small hole in the center of
the bottom of it. Then he inserted a
piece of stout cord and tied a cluster
of knots on the end of it inside the

Next he crushed some of the rosin
