that there will be q profitable load on
all trucks whenever, they are operated.
Keen competition is another factor
in motOrtruck service. Some opera
tors have found it possible to COM
pete successfully with rail service and
yet to charge rates rather higher than
were charged by the customary car
riers. Such conditions, how +, are
only possible where the service is de-
veloped ON most extensive scale.
Freight and express schedules in some
districts have been unsatisfactory to
shippers recently, and by offering a
more prompt and speedy service truck
owners have developed very salts
factory business that ordinarily would
be handled by rail.
Good Roads Essential.
Good roads are a prerequisite to
successful motortruck operation. Very
few operators appreciate the increased
expense which results from travel over
poor roads. The unfortunate operator
who tries to maintain his services over
highways which are virtually impas-
sable and unsatisfactory has found
that his daily operation costs. far ex-
coed the average normal expenses and
seriously affect his profits.

Regions devoted to truck farming
or dairying provide rich fields for
motortruck operation. However, con-
sideration should be given to the ma
ture of the products to be hauled, as
low-priced, bulky staples may not
stand the transportation charges nee
essary to maintain route. For Illus
tration, it is unlikely that hay can
be transported by mDt0rtruck for long
distances except under unusual con-
ditions with respect to price. Perish
ables may stand the motortruck tariff
If the transportation service to mar
ket is speedier than the customary
means of transportation. Such COM
modities as cream, milk and eggs which
are high in price as compared to bulk,
may bear a reasonably high transpor-
tati0n charge if more satisfactory fa-
ciIities are offered.
Seek Profitable Load.
The back haul or return trip, which
often is made without load, consti-
tutes an extravagant practice which
truckmen should strive to avoid. At

Give ATTENTION
TO auto LIGHTS
Owners Overlook Essential Part
by Thinking Wiring Too Com
plicated to Master.
LEARN TO READ HYDROMETER
Prevent Short Circuits by Watching
Insulation and Patching Worn
Places With Tape-carry Du-
pIcate Set of Bulbs.

Most car owners believe the light
ing system on car is too complicated
| to be mastered. But it is not at all
difficult to learn how to take care of
it. The battery, the lights, the am
meter, the fuses and the wires can
| readily be understood and should be
inspected occasionally. Every motor
list should know how to read hydrom-
eter and test the battery. The cell
luloid hydr0meter is better than the
one made of glass, because it is not
SO easily broken.
A reading of from 1875 to 1900 in
dicates that the battery is in good con-
dition and is being properly charged
by the generator. If the reading is
down to 1900 it indicates that the
lights or the the starter are being used
too much.
Keep the battery terminals tight
and cover them with cup grease to
prevent corrosion by the battery acid.
Short circuits can be prevented by
watching the wire insulation and COW
ering worn places with tape.
Watch Ammeter Closely.
The ammeter should be watched
closely, for 1t indicates whether the
battery is charging when the engine
is running. The very best type of
ammeter is that which shows the rate

switch. If any variation is noted it
