Packard Starts
Another Test
For Truck Men
Efficiency Contest. Opening
February |, Will Continue
For One Year, With Cen
erous Prizes in Classes

Its test OF last summer having proved
to the Packard company the possibility
OF saving TO American business men
operating trucks the enormous sum Of
$500 100000 yearly. another truck op
Grating efficiency test has been decided
On. 1t begins on February Of this year
and ends January 81, 1920, period of
one year, including every possible
weather condition. Packard trucks are
eligible and cash awards of $17,640 are
offered drivers, shipping clerks and ac-
countants.
"In the first test says R. L. Cham
herlain, manager of freight transpor
tatlon department, 'the results showed
that the three men who have most to
do with the successful operation OF
truck are the driver, the accountant or
bookkeeper and shipping clerk. So in
this new test the awards are going to
these men. Packard truck owners will
profit by saving real money through
more economical operation and hauling
efficiency.
THE one rigid requirement Of this
new test is that all operating mainten-
ance, cost and load data be submitted
on forms Of the National Standard
Truck Cost System, as in the first test.

ers who employed it properly exactly
what they were getting out of their
trucks in the way Of work and how much
it costs to do that work. AS a general
rule they learned that their trucks were
not being given all the work they We're
capable of doing. Some found too,
that their trucks were carrying large
overloads
"The owner starts this test with the
basic principles developed by our or
Sanization of transportation special
lists. He has an entire year to apply
these principles to his individual bust
ness. We know that it is possible for
/ him mate terially to reduce gasolene con-
sumption, to save several hundred dol >
lars yearly in hauling expense and to
increase hauling efficiency to a ver.-
great extent by applying modern bust
ness methods TO loading and routing.
Every Packard owner should enter his
truck in this test. His local Packard
dealer will gladly give him all the in
formation needed"
Entrants are divided into seven
classes. All siH-ton trucks arc in divi-
sion A; five ton, division B; four-ton
, division G; three-ton, division D; two
ton, division L. ton and halt division
+; one-ton, division G. There are tif-
teen awards in each class. Driver
first award in each class is $780, ac-
countant's, 1925; shipping clerk S. $50.

Killed by His Own Car.

Z. z. Roussell, resident of the
parish Of St. James, was killed in
stantly in an automobile accident
last Sunday afternoon at 5 O'Clock.
Mr.. Roussell was driving his own
Ford car, which he bought about
three weeks before. With him in
the machine at the time were his
wife, his wo-year-old son and two
little nephews. It appears that the
deceased was trying to follow Neil
Bergeron, who was driving a Hudson
Six on his way to Donaldsonville,
and was travelling at a speed Of
about 35 miles an hour. At a point
near Graugnard's store, in st.
James, the car struck a rut and Mr..
Roussell lost control and applied the
emergency brake The machine
jumped from the ground and turned
turtle, pinning all ~of the occupants
underneath. Persons who were near
at hand rushed to the scene of the
accident. Mr. Roussell was found
dead, with the whole top of his head
cut off completely and his brains
spattered about. His skull was cut
by the fender Of the car and his death
must have been instantaneous. There
were no bruises of any kind on any
other part Of his body. His wife
sustained only slight injuries. The
children escaped unhurt.

Banner Sale Big Success.

The big bargain sale inaugurated
recently at the Banner Store, in
Railroad. avenue, near the Texas and
Pacific passenger depot, has proven
Ia tremendous success. In spite of
the bad weather which prevailed
large numbers Of people from the
surrounding country crowded the
store every day, and kept the corps
of statesmen and salesladies busy
from morning to night attending to
their wants. The values offered
were very attractive and every per-
|son who visited the store, being con-
vinced Of the bargains offered, made
substantial purchases and left well
satisfied with their investments.
Messrs. Arnaud Bloch and others,
owners of the establishment, declare
that this has been one of the Lest
and most successful bargain sales
that they have ever put on at their
store, and they intend to stage these
events often in the future SO as to
give their patrons asd ihe general
public opportunities to acquire sea-
|sonable goods of the highest class at
the lowest possible prices. They at
tribute the tremendous success of the
lsale to it's extensive advertisement
IN the columns Of the Chief, and the
attractive posters printed at this of
flee which were circulated broadcast.

Judge Philip H. Gilbert opened
the December civil term of the dis
trict court here last Monday. Upon
ascending the bench, the judge stated
that since the last term Of court the

great and irreparable loss in the
death of Hon. Edward Nichols
Pugh, one of the leading lawyers and
most distinguished citizens of the

splendid qualities of mind and of
heart possessed by the eminent jurist
and suggested that the entire mem

stituted a committee to draw up
suitable resolutions to be read and
adopted on day to be set aside for
the purpose Of holding suitable ex-
|ercises in his memory, and that
when court adjourn after the days
