PIERCE TRUCKS KEEP LINCOLN HIGHWAY IN
 BEST OF CONDITION

The Lincoln highway, which in Maryland and Pennsylvania absorbs an untold wealt hof freight traffic, could not be kept in the perfect condition so essential to economical haulage with out the use of motorized road appara- tus.
 It is peculiarly significant that Pierce Arrow trucks were the ones chosen for this type of work, and dur ing the last two years they have clear ly demonstrated their superiority in the. task of road maintenance and road building. Since 1916 the Barrett com pany, operating a fleet of 8 Pierce Arrow trucks, has been caring for a large section of the Pennsylvania sec tion of the Lincoln highway. These trucks also have been used in the maintenance of the William Penn highway and on state roads in many Of the eastern states.
 The trucks used mainly in treating road surfaces, are equipped with tank bodies. They operate economically in a radius of 70 miles from the source Of supply
 Without motor truck distribution, this kind of work would be out of the question because of expense" said the local Pierce Arrow dealer. '"The radius of horse drawn distributors is small and the loads they can draw are light.
 Tt is the motor truck that will de- mand the best roads and it is the mo- tor truck that is making it possible to construct and maintai nthose roads.''

LARGE DIVIDEND IS
 PA|D BY JORDAN CO.

A dividend of s3.50 per share to stockholders of record January 3l, was declared at the meeting of the board of directors of the Jordan Motor Car company. February 12.
 The sales and production record of the Jordan company during the period of the war is considered unusual in view of the obstacles encountered by all motor car manufacturers.
 The capital of this company since the war began has turned practically 15 times, and in spite of the advanc- ing scale of prices the total produc- tiou for the year of 1916 was only about 200 cars less than the previous year.
 Officers and directors for the en-
 ling year were elected as follows President, Edward <. Jordan: vice president, Y. F.. Borton; secretary and treasurer. Paul Zens: directors, Ed ward :. Jordan, T. F. Borton, Paul Zens, Russell $. Begg and P. II. Wilmington.

MOTOR TRUCK DEALERS PREDICT PROSPERITY FUR THE 1913 SEASON

Business in general and the truck business in particular are due to set new records for activity and prosper ity during 1919,' says c. E. Stromberg, local dealer in Republic trucks.
 That also was the unanimous opin- ion. freely expressed of prominent Re public truck distributors recently called to the factory at Alma from specific parts of the country for the purpose of getting the dealers views regarding two new models which Re public Truck company are just putting on the market-the model 19, Republic "1nvincible' with a capacity of ? to 2is tons and the Model 20. Republic "Dreadnaught' of 315 tons capacity. The meeting was an informal confer ence. The regular annual convention of Republic distributors and dealrs will be called in Alma at a later date.
 The company wanted to ascertain the exact conditions in different parts of the United States and also get first hand opinions on just how these new models met the requirements of every section.
 In both respects the response was enthusiastic and convincing. Without an exception the dealers declared that they looked for an unprecedented de- mand for trucks in their territories this year. They spoke of orders already in hand and in prospect far in excess of anything they have known in previous years. And they were even more en- thusiastic over the new models offered them.
 Naturally some of these dealers had different hauling conditions to face than others and different industries on which they depended for their volue. But each declared that the new trucks moro than met all requirements and were the most sturdy, powerful and all around well balanced trucks of these

WRIST PIN KNOCKS

In attempting to confirm a sus- pected wrist pin knock, place the hand on the edge of the bearing and con- meeting rod while some one else rocks the motor slowly by means of the starting crank. the switch being off In cases where it is impossible to reach the parts with the hand short circuit the spark plugs one at a time while the engine is running slowly This will cause missing and any knock will be instantly audible. Of course the one certain way to make the test is Co remove the pisto nand connecting rod and mae a bench test, but the methods suggested will save time.

mENDlNG BROKEN JACKET

Repair Of badly broken water jack ct may be accomplished if the operator knows just how to go about the job. Take for instance, a case where the corner of the jacket has been frac- tured. The broken pieces of the cast ing are put together in a skeleton framework. made to hold them in posi- tion. The entire jacket is then filled with a saturated solution of shannon fac. The seepage is permitted to oxi- dize, and after the cracks have closed up and the leakage has ceased, the solution is entirely drained out and the job is allowed to stand until it is thor oughly dry. After that the expansion and contraction of the jacket do not effect the repair.

capacities that had yet been offered to truck users.
 In his address to the visiting dealers President F. W. Ruggles emphasized the splendid condition of the Republic business both from a sales and pro- ductiOn standpoint. He said that in spite of the tremendous strides already made the truck industry was still in it's swaddling clothes and the progress still to be made by Republic and the industry in general would prove as re- markable as was it's quick growth during the last five years.
 The conference continued for three days and the entertainment provided for the distributors, parts makers and the Republic organization was very elaborate and unusual. A big banquet was staged in Republics own banquet hall which excelled all previous events in the history of the organization.

 The cartoon depicts the>c course of a drop of gasoline from the tNne 1t enters the tank of the car from the filling sta ton hose, until nothing remains Of it but the burned gas issuing from the exhaust pipe.
 It is made plain that the water which enters the tank with the gasoline is left behind in the settling chamber. The dirt is filtered out by a screen in the gasoline line; and the gasoline is screened again on entering the carbu- retor. There are also depicted the four strokes of the piston and the exhaust of the gas through a muffler which deadens all sound of the explosion.

A bull, black and white and looking
for excitement, strollcd last night from
tho New York stockyards at Sixtieth
Street and the Hudson River and
started north on the railroad tracks.
Red signal lights that unaccountably
blinked green inspired him with a
panic and be broke into a run: Rail
road men scattered before him and
pursuing abattor men were left far
behind.
At Seventy Street he took a
dip in the Hudson, swimming out about
fifty feet and coming back to chase
an inquistive brakeman. The brake
man took to the river. After reaching
waist-deep water he returned.
AT Ninety-sixth Street, after scatter
ing several workmen on pier, the bull
charged coal wagon, injuring one Of
the horses and splintering the side of
the truck.
Three patrolmen badgcrcd him all the
way to 10th Street, where he turned
and started south. The patrolmen
hoped on a locomotive and pursued,
firing as they went. The bull out

At Fifty-third Street the bull started
east, and at Broadway pitched into an
other coal wagon, scoring another vic

to the defense Of Broadway, however,
and, succumbing to bullets at last, the
bull was showed into horse ambulance
and started for the stockyard.

said the process server tried to serve
him with some papers, which, however,
fell to the floor, and he supposed they
were papers In an action for slander or
libel which, he says, his son had threat
ened to bring against him.
These papers proved to be the sum-

which his son obtained judgment by de
fault. They we're handed to him too
late, Mr.. Croker said, for him to con-

postpone the voyage.

Mr.. Croker asked the court to vacate
the service Of the papers in this ac-
ton. He said the papers were served
on him to cause annoyance to him and
his wife and to prevent their sailing.
In regard to this suit Mr.. Croker

his health will permit.

Mr.. Croker added that he never had

posely served on him on the eve of his
sailing so that he would be unable to
