BIG DEMAND FOR

Essential Nature of Motor
Transportation Not Yet
Fully Realized

when the necessity for moving war
essentials simply overwhelmed the rail-
roads and paralyzed shipping condi-
lions, the world was brought to a reall-
cation of what motor trucks could ac-
complish in emergencies" said Hubert
Drennen of the Drennen Motor Car COM

sands of business men, he continued,
learned the answers to their individual
transportation problems and will per-
manently profit by them. 1t is APP
parent on the other hand, that many
others have even yet failed to come to
complete realization of all that the

ture transportation.
mo industry, no business house re-
curing either pickup or delivery can
obtain full success today without the
use of one or more trucks. The public
demands quick service-motor truck de-
livery is the solution. Every day the
object lesson is driven home. one mer-
chant increases his business because of
the dependability of his deliveries. His
competitor, with otherwise equally good
facilities, barely keeps his business
alive because of inferior delivery meth

THE farmer, too, has learned that
the quick handling of his product is a
vital consideration. For instance, take
the case of the dairy farmer who now
makes two deliveries day with his mo-
tor truck in less time than he used to
be able to make three deliveries a week.
His milk is sweeter, the price is higher.
And so it goes all along the line, the

GOVERNMENT NOT
TO SELL TRUCKS
Reason Given by C. ]. Elston
of DENLY Truck Co. of
Detroit

congress has been requested by the
war department to authorize stand
ing army of 20 divisions and four base
divisions, and these will require a
transport equipment of about 10000
vehicles, says Mr. Elston.
Government figures show that the
number of trucks of all types delivered
overseas amounted to 1870. The total
number of trucks delivered and still in
this country plus deliveries authorized
ov outstanding contracts is $4,000.
Under provisions of the act of July 2.

This is $1,000 less trucks than the
programme of the war department calls
Tor, and should forever still the rumor
that Uncle Sam is going to sell trucks
TO the highest bidders" said Mr.. Elston.
lf the manufacturers are called upon

partment and the plans for motor ex-

that trucks will be very few in the

FRANKLIN COMES
IN FOR PRAISE
Local Dealer Says 1t Is the
Best Light Car on the
Market

Taking the discussions among en-
gineers as an Indication of the present
status of automobile design, it appears
that the question of light weight is to
come in for a good deal of attention in
the immediate future. Especially at the
New York show, where the automotive
engineers held their annual Meeting was
this tendency brought out clearly. says
Charles Denegro. local distributor.
Some of the engineers think that air
cooling Will be one of the big develop
ments of the future. This system has
been employed for &c years ON the
Franklin car with success. The opinion
Of these authorities IS based on certain
research in the airplane field, which
made the point that lighter engines
per unit of power were possible by
eliminating all the apparatus and heav-
Ter construction that water cooling
system entails
Almost to man, the engineers say
that one of the big lessons of the war
experience has been the demonstra ton
of the ability to build lighter weight
construction and at the same time
maintain a higher quality of perform
ance and reliability. The growing pop
ularity of light weight was amplified by
report showing that the gasoline sup
ply for years to come could not be ex-
pected to improve either as to quality
or quantity. The need for economical
operation will therefore be even more
pressing than in the past

MEN EXHIBITED
IN GERMAN CITIES

Coblenz February 15.-How it feels to
be exhibited in Germany will be told
when Joseph Brown and Charles Knowl-

to New York, where they lived before
the war.
Both have rejoined their regiment after
Imprisonment in Germany since May 5
when a patrol they were in went out in
search of Germans who We're needed for
the information they might give. The
patrol got the Germans but the German
army got Brown and Knowlton and until
a few days ago the 165th infantry knew
nothing more about them. Both had come
through the German lines after the armi
stice
After the German intelligence officer
had despared of getting from them any
accurate information about the Ameri-
cans both men were sent out on tour
of Germany. In city after city they were
exhibited as specimens of the new enemy.

Patriotism of Motor Clubs

II. W. SlduSOn, IN Leslie S.
The proof of what the motor club ca n
do during the coming era can best be
obtained by an examination of what it
has done during the period through which
we have just passed. From an aggrega-
ton of automobile owners interested prin-
cipally in the enactment of uniform and
fair legislation, the construction of good
roads. and other matters, which con-
cerred their own individual welfare, the
war has drawn the motor club men,
bers to sense of national responsibility
so that the government has such organi-
cations to thank for the whole hearted
and patriotic acceptance of the necessity
for gasolineless Sundays and other equal
ly important conservation propaganda.
Did our government require the SER
vices of truck drivers or chauffeurs? The
motor club was the first to adopt the
slogan: Make your own deliveries. >"
Did Uncle Sam send forth plea for ex-
pert repair men for his aviation and truck
camps? Again did the motor club step
to the fore and say: Take them; our
members can make minor repairs and
keep their cars in running order with
out the use of expert help" Who but
the club member was SO ready to loan
his car to the federal or state govern
ment for certain troop movements or mill
itary maneuvers? Who but the club
MEMBER assisted so readily Win the luea
OF the conspicuously displayed invita- tions
to soldiers, sailors and marines to Have
a lft?" And what motorists more than
the club members are willing to devote
their time and gasoline to the use of
our convalescent fighting men who arc
now filling our hospitals and rest camps?
Indeed, our government has found in
the motor club a machine the organiza-
ton of which has answered every call
hot fHIrc fe
new conception of the possibilities af-
fordsd by the privately owned automo-
bile for assistance during great local or
national emergencies.

His connection with the automobile
business dates back several wears. most
OF which time has been spent in Biz
mingham, and during this time his eff
forts have resulted materially toward
promoting the automobile industry in
the Metropolis of Alabama.
Mr.. Crenshaw has been connected with
the Studebaker distributors most of this
time, and has been very successful in
putting out" lot of Studebaker auto :
mobiles. The birmingham. streets prove
this fact by the number of Studebaker
cars which are being driven here.
When asked why he was now selling
Studebaker automobiles, Mr.. Crenshaw
said: First, because the Studebaker
corporation is one of the largest manu-
facturers of auton obiles in the country.
and I know that it is their policy to give
honest values in their products and the
efficiency of their manufacturing de-
partmert enables them to offer the pub
lie the best automobile for the least
money. Second, the present Studebakei

these great manufacturers, and the new

ments and refinements, for they are

DR.. Barnes, manager Overland Motor
Car company of Birmingham.
This became known recently when
this number in uniform marched in

The Overland contingent, led by the
Overland band, served as escorts for
their returning comrades. The unit
was differed entirely by Overlaud
men. a captain was in command and
a lieutenant in charge of each of the
several platoons.
Among the enlisted personnel were
grizzled veterans, men with gold and
blue service stripes, signifying over

wound chevrons,. indicating that they
had been in the thick of the fighting.
Practically every branch of the United
States army and navy and even Canada
was represented.
The Overland employees were per-

speed but its economy.
When the manufacturers of Olds-

are understood TO be favorably in

knotty problem. Recent conferences
have been devoted to efforts to
frame a program under which such
a scheme could be worked out This
has been found difficult as it is
necessary to go into the most minute
details. There was a long discussion.
for instance over the question
whether Germany should be liable

With this information available
today. it is possible to state that the

found necessary to shock some of

He has tried soft words, COM

Doubt Power OF Conference.
For the first time the voice is
heard here expressing doubt that
the conference still has the power to
make peace. Authoritative advices
show plainly that the presence of
Lenine and the Spartacan leaders is
felt with increasing force at the
peace table. And it is the view Of
