Motor Truck Drivers
Should Be Skilled
in Handling Of Cars

"The motor truck industry" says
w. S. Johnson of the Mid City Mo-
tor and Supply company, distributor
of All-American Trucks, "is awak-
ened to the necessity for more com
petent truck drivers. Public uni
versities and private schools are A.
ranging courses designed to fit men
for the tasks connected with motor
truck operation. The reason for the
general hardness with which the es-
sential nature of the problem has
been recognized can be found in the
apparent inability or unwillingness
of the truck users to visualize the
duties of the driver.
The work of driving a motor
truck, has been generally and too
often considered a form of work,
but little advanced above that of
driving a team and as a result what
is really an art has shrunk into the
category of mental labor. The true
function of the driver must be
thoroughly understood if he and his
employer are to obtain the max
imum satisfaction from the service
he performs"

and that it will last as long as we
care to wear it, why we are pos
sibly gong to, take his word for it.
Industry in Infancy.
The largest manufacturers of
clothing tell us that the industry is
still in its infancy, in spite of the
recent betterments and growth
Compare the interior of the modern
clothing store in our smaller cities
with those in the same towns just
; few years ago. Are their tables
piled high with mussed-up lot of
suits, which take all day Sunday to
straighten out and make present
able after being paved over on Sat-
urday? Not so, my countrymen, not
so. Wall and center case and hang
ers, frames and racks with plate
glass fronts; convenience and ele-
gance in combination and fitting
dignity.
So, then. if the $500 suit is adver-
tised, it will sell. and that settles
it. If it is worth the money, it will
continue to sell, and it will sell here
as we'll as in other towns of similar
size and wealth, and in even the
smaller cities in lesser quantity
There will be buyer here and there,
wherever there is business and
money and banks, for some there
are who always want the best, re-
CARELESS of price.
Anex Practically Reached.
At all events we should have prac-
tically reached the apex in all wear
ables for every member of the FAM
H.. But, wait a minute, please.
&C rdinary suits for men next spring
will. cost $50 to $75,"-<declared the
president of the National Clothing
Manufacturers in an address before
the national convention at Kansas
City on June II. And he said "ordi-
NARY" suits, mark you, and gave
some fairly appealing reasons for
that statement. When we consider
that spring suits are of light weight
material, while winter clothing is of
much heavier texture, we may read
lily admit that if the first is worth

pa $500 for winter weights, equally
we'll made and of the finest woolens
money will buy.
But, even so, the 500 suit will
haveto reckon with the creations of
the merchant tailor who caters to
fastidious dressers and will thus find
competition everywhere, The moral
to our tale is this: Prices have
climbed to such a high level that
this high-priced suit actually looks
like tine goods" 1t shows the
trend. 1t is a fact, too, that there
are no really cheap clothes in sight,
nor no price reductions possible,
they tell US, for at least another year
or two.

FOR TOURISTS
Western States Plan to Join
Government In Building
Highway to Keep Tourists
Home.

Helena, Mont. July 26.-Eleven
western states will be represented at
a meeting in Yellowstone park. Au-
gust 10 and II, called for the pur-
pose of advancing the United States
Interior departments project of
joining together the natioral parks
with a motor highway.
Good roads experts, enthusiasts
and commercial club presidents are
coming from the principal cities of
the west to meet with the National
park service officials. The motor
highway. the first link of which al
ready has been opened between Vel
lowstone and Glacier parks, is de-
signed by Secrehry of the Interior
Franklin K Lafe as a means, for
keeping American vacation dollars
at home instead of allowing them
togo abroad.
In speaking recently of the need
for the convention, Senator T. ].
Walsh of Montana, said:
Compete With Europe.
Governments of Europe are pre-
pairing for their greatest tourist
years as soon as passports are again
freely issued. Europe has been
vastly advertised by the war. Be
fore the war $250,000,000 was spent
by Americans in foreign lands. I'm
less the government of the United
States does something to keep her
people at home, the national parks
and resorts of the west may be de-
serted in the years just ahead.
Accordingly the Interior depart
ment has been aroused to the point
of meeting Europe's tourist propa-
ganda. One of the expedients is an
automobile highway connecting the
national parks and monuments. This
will help keep the tide of tourists,
which now is turned westward. COM
ing our way. The cooperation OF
the western states literally extend
ed to the government at this time
will repay them a thousand times.
Use Big Buses.
To lead the tourist cars from park
to park. big motor BUSES are to be
operated over the highway selected
by the government. Already Vel

these two great parks, making the

Pipeclay for Mats.

Pipeclay acts as a preservative of
rubber and makes one of the best
mediums for treating the rubber
mats used in automobiles. Oil and
grease are rubber solvents and ruin
the floor mats if they are allowed
to remain on them. The mats
should be wiped quite dry and then
be pintclayed. The pipeelay dries
and sucks the oil out Of the rubber.
