TRUCKS SHOW BIC
ANNUAL INCREASE
Manufacturers Declare There
viii Be 100000 in
Operation by 1929.

Ten years ago the number of mo-
tor trucks in use was but 1000. To-
day there are between 1000 and
500, 600. according to James p.
Nash, Office Engineer, State Highway
Department, Austin. Texas. There
is no reason why the number of
trucks should not increase next year
i'm the same ratio as in the past.
says Mr. Nash. If the number of
motor trucks increases IN the next
10 years in the same ratio as in the
past 10 years, there would be over
22,00O,OOO motor trucks in use IN
the United States by 1929, Mr.. Nash
pointed out
The motor truck should be regard o.
ed as a public utility, regardless Of
who operates it. The motor truck
came into existence TO get food and
supplies 10 people. To add to the
cost of motor transportation Is to
increase the cost Of living.
The highways o: the country are
inadequate for present needs. Their
the requirements of the next year
or tao, Mr.. Nash states. Along
what line shall we provide this in
crease" asks Il. l.. Fulton. shall
we double the width of the road and
increase its first cost and mainten-
ance 100 Per cent? Or shall we pro-
vide a road of sufficient strength to
carry vehicles of 100 per cent
greater capacity for a given width
of road. the first cost of which would
be only 10 to % per cent greater
per mile than that of present roads.
In view of the fact that 90 per cent
increase in hauling capacity gives a
reduction of 10 per cent in trans
portation costs, the latter seems the
wisest thing TO do.
Money spent 10 build roads ac-
cording TO present standards is
money thrown away. We must
build for the future and estimate
now what the future needs"

BROOM Or BRUSH
FOR EVERY AUTO
Duty of Motorists to Remove
All Dangerous Substance
From Highways.

Every motorist owes a duty to
himself and all other drivers TO
stop his car and remove from the
highway all broken glass or other
substance dangerous to tires which
he notices in his travels.
The United States Tire &C. rec
ommends that a small brush or
broom be made part OF the equip
ment Of each automobile and that
the automobile owners of the coun-
try pledge themselves to stop their
cars and sweep off from the high
way any glass or harmful sub
stance encountered. If each auto
mobilist would follow such a pol
icy, it would not be necessary for
the average man to remove glass
more than a few times a year
When a cluster Of broken bits of
glass is allowed to remain on a high
way until it has been entirely
swept off by tires or carried away
embedded in tires, probably hun
dreds Of other machines are free
AAOAil heAAAENA VI III = u OuUlts
The automobile club of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, is the first automobile
group in the country TO adopt this
suggestion. At a recent meeting Of
the club. the members committed
themselves to the glass removing
program. Each member of the club
will keep a careful record as TO the
number OF times he has 10 stop to
remove glass and will also try to
form a judgment as TO how the
glass came 10 be on the road. other
clubs are expected TO follow their
example and enroll their members
as knights of the broom"
One thing is certain-the per-
son who drops bottles on the high
way for the pleasure of hearing
them break has become very un-
popular and is going to become
more so.

While there may be a few tribes

applies to the motor truck as well

In preparing for this trip auto

crossing the desert where IT is very

A "fact-fend". who is also an
eeronautical enthusiast, submits
the following:
The 12-cylinder Rolls Royce en-
CINE used on Harry G. Hawkers
Sopwith bipIane with which he
hopes to fly across the Atlantic
ocean from Halifax TO England
early in April is fitted with four
magnetos for ignition entirely in
dependent of any batteries. Only
two magnetos will be used, one for
each six cylinders. The extra two
poses only. All Il cylinders fire
their compressed gas once every
second revolution Of the propeller,
thus six cylinders fire every revolu-
ton.
The normal revolutions of this
engine are 1900 each minute, or
10000 an hour. For a journey of
1000 miles at 100 miles an hour
six cylinders firing for each turn of
the propeller will mean 10000
hot sparks from the two magnetos at
the rate of $4,000 an hour. Should
two 12-cylinder engines be used the
total number of sparks will then be
25,92O,000.
The confident dependence of Mr.
Hawker on his magnetos is not to
be wondered at when it is recalled
that every airplane engine in the
world, with the exception of one
type, is magnetic equipped, and the
magnetic has proved itself ideal for
the difficult airplane services re-

EXPERT FORESTER
IS TO COME HERE

Further development of both the
commercial and scenic assets of the
Green Mountains in the vicinity OF
Middlebury is forecast by the an
nouncement by President Thomas this
week that Middlebury College has en-
gagged an expert whose sole business
will be the oversight of the vast area
of mountain land which was left to
the College by the late Joseph Battell
for preservation as a natural park.
E. l., Terry, who was for four years
with the United States forest Service
in the far west, and who has been prom
inent in forestry education at Colorado
College and Harvard, will arrive here
next Tuesday to assume this new posi-
tion, as Professor of Forestry at Mid
dlebury College, and supervisor of the
Battell Forest lands. These lands COM
prise nearly 10000 acres which Mr..
Battell acquired during forty years
time, an area so vast in extent that the
lands include property in twelve town
ships and cover some of the higher
peaks of the Green Mountains, partic-
ularly the magnificent forest region in
the town of Lincoln. Mr.. Battell a
graduate of Middlebury in the class
of 1860, and for many years a trustee
of the college, died February %, 1915,
and left these lands to the College in
the hope that their natural beauties
would be preserved to future genera
tions. The College has had this in
view and as time has passed there has
been felt the need of expert forestry
work
Mr.. Terry, with his wife and a young
child, come here from Canada where he
has recently been connected with the
St Maurice Company. He graduated
from Harvard College in 1907 and later
received the degree of Master Of For
estry from that institution. During the
next four years as a government agent
he handled timber sales in the national
forests of the west and was in charge
of forest investigation in Montana, Ida
ho, and Eastern Washington In 1912
he was made director of the depart
ment of Forestry in Colorado College,
where his duties included the manage
ment of a 5000 acre track of pine lands
in the mountains of Colorado. In
l9l7-lS he was appointed exchange pro-
fessor from Colorado College at Har-
ward University.
Lastiall Mr.. Terry was employed by
DR.. E. D. Collins, then acting presi-
dent of the College, to make survey
of the Battell lands, and his report to
the trustees was considered so ably
done that it was decided to invite
Mr. Terry to become a member of the
College Faculty and to assume over
sight of the mountain campus. Presi
dent Thomas this week announced that
he had been successful in securing Mr..
Terry, who will assume his duties at.
