Good Road Situation Is Like Railroad Problem, 5OYearAgoI
Lower Cost of Motor Transportation Means Lower Cost of
 Living, Says Motor Truck Manufacturer

-Along with the great national movement for better highways comes the question of weight of loads. speed and many other factors" says R. D.. Fulton, vice president of the Interna- tional Motor company.
 'Tn the solution of the matter, plain, ordinary common sense should prevail Unimproved roads in good weather when they are dry and sound, can stand a great deal of traffic with lil- tie or no damage. They can even bear tremendous loads if the width Of the tire is sufficient. When these roads are solid, big steam traction eI- zines. with thrashing machines or corn shelters, run over them with no dam age; in fact, with benefit, as they act like rollers
 Moderately improved roads like wise can stand much traffic in good weather. The big trouble with these roads is that they are not what can be called all~year-'round roads. They should be improved to meet the nor nal requirements of traffic, so that full benefit may be derived from them at all times.
 LARGE LOADS LOWER PRICES
 '-The weight of the load should pe determined on the basis of width of tires Routes between large cities or important commercial and industrial centers serve an enormous tonnage, and the larger the units in which this tonnage is hauled the greater the economy of hauling. These routes are main arteries of traffic, and anything which increases the cost of transporta- ton on them is paid for by all the people, regardless of how far they may be from these main arteries. When It is taken into consideration that a 20 per cent increase in the size of the

Mexican Generosity in 1912

From "A Japanese Log of Mexico" edited by Stewart Culin, in Asia" Magazine The governor of Poroneru told the two shipwrecked Japanese that ship for China was due within four or five days Trey explained to their friend, Captain Beron, that they wanted to take their seven companions with them as their work was harder than their own Boron replied that ships sail from this country to China only once every year or two, so that if they missed this one he did not know when they could return to Japan. Hatsutaro and Zensuke discussed the matter and decided that if they could get home and do no more than tell the families of their companions that they were well. they would rejoice, and decided
 that If they were too scrupulous and
 missed this ship all nine must remain, possibly to die. Meanwhile. Hatsutaro's master, Senos Jose, who was in Mazatlan
 before his arrival, heard about them and came to their lodgings. He told Hatsutaro
 that he need not go home, for if he would remain he would let him marry his daugh-
 ter. and would give him 10000 pieces of
 silver as dowry, with which he might begin business and live easily all his life.
 Wont you stay?'' he asked Hatsutaro replied. Your kindness during these months has been deeper than the sea
 Never will I forget your generous efforts
 to detain me, but as have left my old parents at nome, must return to support
 them. am very sorry"
 Both Beron and the host of the trav- eler's hotel took Zensuke and Hatsutaro to the rich people of Mazatlan and asked their help in sending the Japanese home
 Some gave or 10 some 20 or 30 pieces of silver, and even 50 pieces were given by an
 especially rich family. The total sum was 2sO pieces from which, after paying 100 to the ship for passage and buying clothes and wine, they gave 40 to Zensuke and
 Hatsutaro for the expenses of the voyage. The kindness of Senor Jose who loved
 Hatsutaro as his son can never be for gotten, and the generous offices of Beron
 in sending them back to their country also must be recognized. It must have been through the protection of gods and Buddhas that they met with such good hearted people: so they were hopeful that

fruit, vegetables and children Then the dyed browns became tawny chestnut like the towering palm trunks, and the blues are the distant mountains or the sky of a tropical night, and the whole is Java, the most beautiful island in the world
 Many of the designs have been used and repeated from time immemorial, but there is a wide difference in the execution. The Javanese have never been great trav- elers but at different times in their hs- tory the world has come to them; so there are traces of Arabic, Persian, Indian and Shinese influences in designs and colors. But the best batik is purely Javanese in origin and color, as well as in design and method of dyeing. The artists take their own palms and ferns, the wonderful vines that sway like strands of hair from the tops of their giant canariun trees to the ground and paint them into the background of the design with tiny streams of hot wax squeezed out of a small pipe-like instrument, called a 'tjanting." Over this jungle background they trace feathers, birds bees, moths, butterflies, flowers and fruits The re- sourceful woman artists cut crosswise their famous Fruit, the delicious man gosteen Chat Queen Victoria tried so hard to have sent to her) to paint it's flower-like center. The cacao, pomegran- ate and pineapple are similarly treated. For their sultan and princes they create sporting scenes with wild stags and the hunters with their horses and hogs in the midst of the jungle. The styles of batik differ from one city to another The famous Djokjakarta batik is perhaps the finest, but Surakarta or Solo, the other semi-independent central Javan province and rival of Djokja, was superior in the past if not at present. Djokja batik is known by it's rich chestnut tones on dark blue or cream white background, and that of Surakarta by it's darker brown. burnt orange and black designs, the black really being the deepest shade of indigo or midnight blue. Semarang, a large port on the Java sea, uses gayer colors with more red, dull red, how ever, and richer blues and creamier back grounds. Hardly any of the brown tints are used and the designs are broader and freer, with many fruits and flowers. In the cities, like Batavia and Sourabaya, the initiated can always tell where the natives have come from by the color and design of their sarongs.

HOGAN AND WHITE
 l ID HANDLE TRUCKS
Truck Experts Secure the Agency For the Interna-
 tiOnal Motor Trucks

Frank C. Hogan and Harry c. White, we'll known truck men of Birmingham, have just secured the representation for International motor trucks. This is one of the well known trucks of America and has a reputation that has made them among the best on the market to- day. They are to have temporary sales rooms at 2022 Avenue c and will carry a complete line of International trucks and also modern service station with a full stock of parts and expert me- chanics.
 Frank Hogan has been connected with some of the large truck dealers in Bir- mingham and is known for fair and hon. est dealing. He has studied transporta- tion problems and can talk intelligently on all hauling problems whether it be among lumber camps or the grocery business.
 Harry White has been connected with some of the large motor turck factories as well as some of the large dealers in the south and in Birmingham and knows the mechanical end as well as the trans portation department. He started with the White factory when a mere boy and gradually increased his knowledge where he is looked upon as an authority in the motor truck business.
 They have started to put the Inter national truck in every nook and cor ner in this territory. They are going to look after the transportation interests of every truck owner whether they use In- ternational trucks or not. They are go- ing to constantly keep in touch with truck users and show their knoledge of cutting down excessive hauling costs and other means that will make truck opera tion most profitable.
 The style of the firm is Hogan &s White, and are backed by the Interna- tional Harvester Co., a concern with a rating of s140,00o000. This should assure all prospective owners of trucks that service and proper attention can be ex- pected for the good name of the Inter- national will always stand firm in the motor truck industry.

The Post-July Barroom

Evangeline Booth, in the Christian Herald.
 The Salvation Army has within the last few weeks demonstrated in it's province of New York the psychology of the brass rail. There is something about the shining bar which brings all men to a common footing. The easy and relaxed attitude of those who lean against the mahogany or cherry sug- gests solid comfort. Because wine and beer are to go, shall a man not take his ease in his own inn? Therefore at our newly opened hotel in West Forty seventh street we have kept the bar and the brass rail. and the bartender back of them. Although soft drinks are served there instead of hard ones, this barroom of the new era glows with good cheer.

 LIKENS ROADS TO RAILROADS
 "On these roads the weight is fully taker care of by the S00-pound limit per inch width of tire. For every 500 pounds. an inch is added to the bear ing surface of the tires. With the aG- dition of a trailer, the weight of tse load can be doubled without doubling the strain on the road. You simply add to the wheel base. The load, while greater, is distributed over more wheels of pToportionate tire width. A striking illustration of this is given by our roads While heavy rolling stock, such as the big compound en- zines which are now used on our rail- roads, are very much heavier than the rolling stock of years ago, the weight per inch of bearing surface has not been greatly increased. This has been met by putting extra bearing surface under the weight. For instance, the big engines now have Is driving wheels. whereas the early engines ha only four.
 "It would have been as sensible 50 years ago to have prohibited the use of locomotives larger than the little four wheel drivers as 1t would be to- day to limit the weight of the rnoto truck on any other basis than tire width, and the number of wheels un- der the weight, which in the case of our large locomotives gives several hundred per cent greater hauling ca pacity with probably only 100 per cent greater weight of rail. Without the development of the large locomotive and the increased size of railroad
