AIDS EMPLOYES
 IN INVESTING
 FUNDS WISELY
Big Motor Company Plans to Share Profits With Employes Showing In clination to Save

The General Motors corporation nas inaugurated a new savings and in- vestment plan for the benefit Of it's employees.
 By this plan, which has been in- augurated by W. c. Durant for the purpose of assisting and encouraging employees in saving and investing a portion of their earnings, any em- ploye who has been in the service of the General Motors corporation for more than three months may increase his yearly earnings ten per cent.
 The employees may save up to ten per cent Of his yearly salary depositing same with the company, providing ne gets $3,000 per year or less. $500 IS the limit to be invested in any one year. This is done for the period of eliminating the high salaried depart ment heads, as the plan was inaugur- ated solely for the benefit of the work ing man or the employe drawing a yearly salary under 5000.
 Deposits may be made in the sav- ings fund in amounts of five dollars or multiples thereof For every dollar thus deposited by the employees, the corporation deposits @ like amount in what is known as the investment fund. For the total amount deposited, both by the employe and the corporation for the employe, the employe receives interest at the rate of six per cent. The amount deposited by the corporation to the credit of the employe is made over to the employe in five annual pay ments. Thus the employe, at the end of five years, is given an amount equal to that which he saved, and he has received six per cent as reward for saving a portion of his income.
 The Chevrolet Pacific Coast factory has issued a circular letter to all employees throughout the western terri tory, in which it says:
 To all Chevrolet employees: The Cen cral Motors corporation is offering 10 you, its employees, a savings and in restment fund, providing you have been an employe of this company for three months or more.
 A careful reading of z the booklet which accompanies the letter will con vince you that taking advantage of the corporations offer is money in your pocket, as it is offered to you with one object in mind only, that is to encourage your savings. The offering of this plan is entirely a gift from the corporation and will no doubt cost them thousands of dollars. It is therefore to your interest to participate in this plan to it's full extent, namely, ten per cent of your earnings not to exceed S3O00 per year.
 The General Motors corporation will pay into the fund, an amount, dollar ftr dollar, with the employees, which amount will ultimately be added to the amount paid in by the employees. However to encourage the employe to allow his money to remain in the fund for a considerable period of time, the amount paid in by the corporation will be credited to the amount paid in by the employe, one-fifth each year.
 Tn other words, if an employe has invested s10O in the fund, the corpora

REPUBLIC TRUCK
 NUSHES TRAILS .OF MIDNIGHT SUN
With Special Bus Body It Hauls Passengers and Baggage Without Sign of Lights

"The Northern Lights Have Seen Queer Sights, but the Queerest They Ever Did See" was a sturdy, smooth running Republic truck mushing along a frozen trail in the far northern city of Anchorage, Alaska And chances are, Robert w. Service, the 'Kipling of the North" would have found in this power wagon successor to the faithful 'malumote" inspiration sufficient to prompt the dashing off of another one of his inimitable Songs of the Sour dough"
 And it is a queer sight, too, to meet this ultra modern motor vehicle nov ing swiftly along over the northern trails, without head lights, tail light or any manner of artificial illumina tion. Lighting equipment, you see. is unnecessary in that land of semi-pe petual daylight where for six months of the year you can sit out on your front porch and read your favorite paper at midnight, by the light of the sun. Tourists have brought back with them many cherished memories of Alaska, and, perhaps, none is so vivid ly brought to mind as the novelty of | retiring at night with the sun stream ing in their windows.
 The Anchorage Service company. a transportation concern, operated by l; Alaskans over the trails of the north. progressed to a point where dog teams and other old-fashioned modes of tra vel were becoming inadequate to meet their constantly increasing require ments. So, with statistics and data 1 galore to prove the economical advan tages of motorized equipment in mos' every other part of the globe, these up-to-date business men of the polar regions concluded to break ali loca
 precedents and establish a motor bus line
 Purchasing a Republic Internal Geal Drive truck from the Seattle dis.-ibu-
 tors, a special body was designed tha
 would comfortably accommodate six
 teen passengers and their persona
 baggage. This truck is now in con
 stant operation-and at this particular
 time of the year that means twenty four hours daily-hauling capaci'-
 loads from depot and docks to the loca hotels.

 "The farmer to whom a trip to town used to mean a day lost from the farm now makes it in a couple of hours. As a result more time is spent or the farm and the farm is kept more up to date and greater production with in creased wealth and lower cost is the result"
 The city merchant who delivers his goods by automobile is several jumps ahead of his competitor who still uses the horse. He delivers over a wider radius and his deliveries are more cer- tain. Delivery costs too are lowered. His use Of automobiles shows him to be progressive and up to date People like to deal with that sort of a store and so his business increases and prospers due to the automobile"

IS CAUSE
 BIGGER USE IF
 MOTOR TRUCKS

That the signing of the peace treaty will cause increased buying of motor trucks, is the opinion of George H. Reu- ben of the Reuben Auto Co.,, local Kis sel distributors.
 Notwithstanding the deluge of busi- ness that came to American industries with the signing of the armistice, l am firmly of the opinion that when the peace treaty is actually signed there will be a further increase in orders placed in America, which will mage it necessary for our industries, manufac- turers and other producers to increase their transportation equipment to keep up with the increased production ac- tivities.
 We must not forget that there are at least three different stages to the reconstruction period in Europe. The building up of the homes, streets, etc, which has been going on since Novem- Der last This is only the smallest part of reconstruction work There will be

LACK OF MOTOR
 SERVICE |S b|C TRADE HANDICAP

We are living in an age of speed and there has been perhaps no greater contribution to speed in late years than automotive transportation says Sales Manager John Tainsh of the Mitchell Motors company. Inc, Racine, Wiscon- sin. With the introduction of the telegraph and the telephone, distance in the transmission of information was annihilated. Hours and days were saved in sending important news over great distances. The great feature was speed"
 Railroads too were great reducers of time and it is the ever present dc- sire of'railroad officials to shorten this time still further. Freight is now transported faster than passengers used to be in the earlier days and still the cry is for faster schedules-more speed"
 These advances, however, were con- fined in general to long hauls. Moth ing much had been done to make the

tion would at once pay in another S100 At the end of the first year, if the employe has allowed his money to re- main, he is credited with twenty dol lars of the s100 paid in by the cor poratiOn, and so until at the end of five years, he is credited With the entire S100 paid in by the corporation.
 In addition, interest and the rate of six per cent will be paid annually on all sums invested. This is in addi- ton 10 the $100 which the employe re-, ceives on his investment at the end of five years.
 Proper rules are made for the handl- ing of the fund, and arrangements made for withdrawals if necessary. and for the transfer of the funds to the estate of deceased members. The money invested is as carefully guarded as it would be in a savings bank. The principal idea is to encourage thrift among the employees in the organiza- ton, which on the Pacific Coast is largely represented by the Chevrolet plant.
 There is another feature. The cor poration does not receive again any of the money deposited in this fund; but 1 the employees do. For instance, if an empoye deposits S1O0 and the cor poration pays in a like amount, at the end of the first year the employe will receive twenty dollars of the $100 de- posited by the corporation. If he then leaves the company he takes only his i $100 and the twenty dollars credited to him by the corporation, with the ac- crued interest. This leaves eighty dol lars which remains in the fund. This is pro-rated to the employees remain ing with the corporation at the end of each of the succeeding four years.
 Employees of the Chevrolet factory. and it's branches, are very enthusiastic over the plan. mechanics, salesmen and others are all saving ten per cent of their earnings.

KEEP CLOSE WATCH IF TIRES ADVISES
 AUTOMOBILE OWNER

From a prominent newspaper man of the middle west, comes some ad- vice regarding tire imitation that will interest every tire user, says Mir Miller of the local United States Tire company
 T get big mileage out of my United States tires,' is the statement of the newspaper scribe, but I am of the opinion that the records my tires give are due in considerable part to the way in which I handle the subject of imitation. Many of my friends use the same brand of tires that are on my car, and yet they don't get any where near the service from their tires that I do.
 This is my rule. twice a week l test the air pressure in my tires. It is some trouble to do this and there are many warm days when it seems | like a bother. But I stick to the prac- | tice religiously.
 During the period I have been mak- | ing these regular tests I have learned l some interesting facts. When I find a tire losing two and one-half or three pounds regularly I figure that some 1 thing is wrong with the valve and put a new plunger into the valve.
 When I find the pressure dropping as much as five pounds right along | the trouble is almost certainly due to the development of bad spot 1T the tube. Experience has proved this to be the fact so invariably that now when I find tire losing as much as | five pounds regularly, I change the tube without bothering to find the exact cause. But in the days when did take the trouble to run the thinf down, I always found a porous spo in the tube.
 "This subject of imitation has beer harped on so much that it sounds lik, a chestnut to most motorists. But b, following this rule of semi-weekly test I get results so unusual that I hardl, ever mention them to my friends, fo fear my statements will be put in tn fist-story category"

the rebuilding of the factories and sup plying equipment necessary to put these factories on a production basis. Here is large market for American made supplies, materials and equip ment. Third-when these factories are built and equipment installed, it will again be up to America to furnish supplies and material, raw and other wise, for these factories.
 "The last two stages in the recon struction period will have to await the signing of the peace treaty before ac- tual work can be started. This is nec- essary because it is only by the sign ing of the peace treaty that thousands of workers now in the army of occu- patton, as well as the thousands serv- ing in the service of supplies. These men will be released and then is when the real reconstruction work will be started in earnest"

When a car is new and the owner is not accustomed to driving it there is often difficulty in shifting into inter mediate gear, either from low or high. This may be due to a slight dragging of the clutch, or, more often, to the fact that the driver is not familiar with the speed of the motor at which the shifts should be made. A little prac- tce is all that is needed. If the rasp ing of the second gear cannot be avoided and it is thought that damage will be done to the gears avoid shift ing from first to second. Accelerate a little more and shift from first to high, and then at the first opportunity con- suit the manager al the service station, who will give you little instruction in correct shifting.
