new YORK BANKERS
WOULD CURB TRADE
Nervous Over Prolonged Bull
Move-WouId Aid FOREIGN
Securities.
LOCAL STOCKS ARE FIRM
By I. A. FLEMING.

New York banking interests are
credited in market circles with max
ing an attempt to divert speculative
and investment interest from Ameri-
can securities to foreign issues
This is undertaken for two reasons.
to divert speculation in the American
industrial list, which has rarely been
continued for so long a period at high
speed, and second, for the purpose Of
promoting a better position in the
foreign exchange market.
That this is essential has been ad-
mitted by the best banking talent in
the United States. Our home market
is the best in tho world. but our for
eign trade depends on the ability of
other countries to meet the payments
on our goods. This they have not been
able to do with sufficient promptness
to keep the exchange market from suf-
fering serious breaks.
Diverting trade to foreign securities
will require the education of investors.
Spectators will follow a leader. and any
good advance in a foreign security, II
listed on the New York exchange, would
draw friends quickly.
An American guarantee OF an In
vestment proposition in foreign Sc
curities would develop a good market.
New York bankers are also little
nervous over the long continued bull
movement in stocks and would prob
ably welcome a break in prices tina
would compel the liquidation of part
Of the $1,000, 900, 900 loans to brokers.
representing the carrying Of custom
ers' trading on margins.

ECLIPSED BRIEFLY TODAY

One in the District would not realize
that an eclipse of the sun occurred
today. but the scientists at the Naval
Observatory say such is the fact.
DR.. L. A. Bauer of the department
of terrestrial magnetism of the Car
negie institute and DR.. c. G. Abbot

gone to South America to study the
phenomenon. The eclipse was visible
in South America and Africa.

Efforts to have the government, de-

The hour for reporting by municipal

Practically all government Offices
are now back to the o'clock hour,

Have Another System.
The commercial ton-miie Is fig
ured for trucks employed in contin-
ually making deliveries OF portions
OF their loads. The big majority OF
trucks are operated under this con
dition. II can readily be seen that
absolute ton-mileage would necessi-
tate separate figuring for each stop
and would be decidedly imprac-
ticable. Hence, the commercial ton
mile used.
The Information from which 10 fig-
ure the commercial tOn-mile comes
from the drivers card. All that is
needed is the number Of deliveries
made. the weight of each load. and
the total mileage for the day. First
determine the average tons per trip.
This is found by reducing the total
number Of pounds hauled TO terms
OF tons. /. g., -. 900 pounds would be
termed as six tons The average
tons per trip. or the average load. is
found by dividing the number Of
tons hauled by the number OF deiiv-
cries made, I. @. six (tons) divided by
FIVE (deliveries) equals one and one
fifth tons. or the average load. This
result multiplied by the total mileage
for the day gives the ton-miles. For
example, If the mileage covered by
the truck is so, the ton-miles for
the day amount to ~ or. so times
one and one-fifth.
When your truck makes but one
trip a day you simply multiply the
mileage by the number of miles car
ried. thereby using the absolute ton
mile basis.
Units OF Measurement
Ton-miles are nothing more than
the units of measuring truck perfOr-
nance. The principle of ton-mileage
may be applied TO any class of motor
truck haulage whether the units are
baskets. bundles, kegs. cases, or
thousands OF feet of lumber. For
the concern which does not do its
hauling in tons the same measure
OF haulage may be had by simply
substituting for the ton the unit best
served to measure the delivery sys-
tenn. thus instead of the ton-mile
we have the package-mile. multiply
ing the number OF packages deliv-
cred by the number OF miles cover
ed in delivering them, or the key
mile, or the case mile.

Vice President, The Lincoln High
way Association

wv AiCSiNuts lie IlnCOn HIGH
way Association.
DETROIT, Mich.-The Lincoln
Highway association believes that
the time for arguing the advantages.
the necessity, the economy of good
roads is past
The nation is sold on the good
roads idea.
The whole road question in this
country has changed since the war
from whether We should spend
money on roads and have them or
not. TO what is the best and most
sensible, efficient and business-liKe
way of promptly getting them and
paying for them.
States in the past noted for their
mud and their lack Of interest in
highway improvement arc, voting
millions fer immediate highway con-
struction. There is no need of ar
guing the necessity for good roads
in this country any longer.
What we must understand now,
and it is almost as important as a
national realization of the value of
the roads themselves, is the crying
need for buSinesslike, systematic ex-
penditUre Of these vast sums; for a
national plan which VIII assure us
that when these millions are spent
we will have the roads-have them
where they are needed-built to last
and connecting up to form a net
work of transportation lines.
Must Have Definite Aim.
The millions which have been
spent in the past, without system
and without national plan and which
consequently have accomplished
such a small percent OF what they
might have been made to accom-
plish under efficient centralized
direction, are proof enough that no
matter how much money We may
provide for road construction in the
future it will be inadequate TO pro-
vide the highway system which this
country needs and must have, if they
are not spent with a definite aim in
view, so that all highway construc-
ton in the country may ultimately
link Up TO be of national as well as
local benefit.
Road construction has gradually
grown from a purely focal, town or
township question to one CT central
lied county authority; and more re-
Gently TO one Of statewide impor-
lance under centralized state direc-
ton with state aid for main inter
county links. 1t is now time that the

WORK Of TRUCKS
EASY TO FIGURE
Ton-miIe Basis As Means of
Determining Performance
Explained in Article.

Do you know how to figure the
ton-miieage OF your motor truck?
A simple and accurate method is
here disclosed. Before arriving at
the cost OF truck operation It IS es-
sential 10 have the ton-mile figure
Tor comparison with the average
daily cost OF operation. Such a sys-
tenn will allow the owner TO com
pare the operating cost OF one make
OF truck with another. and as well.
truck haulage with horse and wagon
delivery.
There are two classes OF units used
for measuring truck haulage. One
IS the absolute ton-miIe, while the
