Time Or Money
Saved, Gage Of
Truck S Worth

Below is the second instalment OF
an abstract Of the paper on "Rela-
ton OF Solid and Pneumatic Tires to
Motor Truck Efficiency" by S V.
Norton, read at the recent meeting Of
the Society OF Automotive Engineers.
Mr. Norton is a transportation engi-
neer. tire expert and author. The
abstract OF his paper is covered in
five instruments.
Broadly speaking" Mr. Norton
said, "the efficiency Of a truck IN
performing its function depends
upon the amount Of time or money.
or both, that it saves for the shipper,
as compared with any other means
OF haulage. While II is difficult to
separate all the factors bearing on
roughly classified as follows;
The factors effecting time are;
Distance OF hauls; traffic congestion:
speed OF delivery; regularity OF de-
livery; condition OF roads (effect on
speed Of truck; number Of trips per
day. and time out for repairs, etc
The factors effectiug money are:
Amount OF pay load and overload;
condition Of road EFFECT on tires
and truck: number Of trips per day;
cost Of operation; cost OF upkeep, and
cost Of substitute equipment
Pneumatic More Costly.
In what way does the tire equip
gin with, the operator must pay from
IS percent to as percent more for
pneumatic than for solid tires No
dependable figures Indicating the
relative cost per mile Of the two
types are available. but from such
information as can be obtained. it is
my belief that it will cost from two
to three times more per mile TO run
on pneumatics than solids.
q Let Us see how pneumatic tires
may effect the time factors II the
operator is engaged in long distance
pneumatic tires viii almost invari-
ably save running time. due 70 the
fact that they absorb the road shocks
so much more easily than solids. 1t
should also Be noted that the drivers
fatigue in such cases IS far less on
pneumatics than on solids.
up TO the present, however, COM
paratively few trucks are engaged in
long distance hauling The great ma
jority Of trucks operate in cities
where they cannot possibly obtain a
speed Of over ten miles an hour.
For such speeds there can be no
possible saving in time which would
offset the extra cost OF running on
pneumatic tires
Roads Have Important Bearing.
The condition Of road surface has
a very important bearing on the
time element. as il has a direct ef-
feet on the speed OF the truck. In
fact, under certain circumstances the
increased traction afforded by the
heavy duty pneumatic makes il pos
sible to operate the truck while II
il Is equipped with solids il cannot
be driven at all This is particularly
noticeable in rural districts where
there are no hard surfaced roads.
One OF the advantages frequently
mentioned is the greater number OF
trips per day which may be obtained
mates So far as this factor by it,
self is concerned. there is no doubt
that the advantage is in favor OF the
pneumatic
There is one more important fac
tor TO be considered as affecting the
time element, and that Is the num-
Der Of hours the truck is laid up for

Forge Pay Checks.

More than 100 convictions have re-
suited from the work of the secret SER
vice agents in running down persons
who obtained fraudulent possession
of government pay checks during the
wal and cashed them after forging an
Endorsement. Hundreds of checks also
were passed in cases where the blank
forms were stolen from the offices of
disbursing officers and filled out false
ly. Many of these checks were stolen
from mail boxes, where they had been
left by the postmen for disabled sol
diers or dependents of soldiers, but
this form of thievery has all but
ceased.
Because of the billions of dollars
disbursed from Washington and of the
inexperience of many disbursing Off
GERS who did not safeguard their rec
ords properly, the national capital be-
came a rich field for crooks and the
secret service found plenty to do right
at its doorstep. The latest piece of
criminality to engage the attention of
the bureau there has developed in the
bureau of war risk insurance, where
a number of disabled soldiers were in
duced to part with a part of their
money due from the government on
the ground that by such a method they
could get more than the government
wOuld.otherwise pay them.
Investigation has shown that the SOL
diers were the only losers, as the en-
ployees of the bureau have no power
to increase the amount the disabled
men are paid. Only minor employees
of the bureau have been involved.
The large issues of Liberty bonds
have given the secret service added
duties in tracing stolen registered
bonds. Theft of coupon bonds does
not directly concern the bureau any
more than the theft of currency, but
as registered bonds cannot be trans
terred or the interest collected with
out the signing Of the rightful owner
name, they come in II different Class

He Has by Years of Work Proved
His Ability as Crime Investigator.
A place on the United States secret
service force Is the most sought for DO
sition in the United States. More
than 1000 applications are received
for every vacancy and every mail
brings new requests. Most of these
are from "sleuths' who have complet-
ed the course of some mail order de-
tective school. No sooner does the
average graduate" get his diploma
and star tina he sits down and writes
to Washington that he is qualified to
do all kinds of detective work" and
asks for a government position.
In all such cases the applicant is out
a 2-cent stamp, for the detectives in
the government services are recruited
from the city detective forces and
none is accepted until he has proved
by years of work his ability as a crime
investigator.
The secret service was created in
1864 to trace and arrest counterfeiters
of United States currency, principally
the old "greenbacks," and detection of
makers and c%irculators of spurious
money has always been its chief func-
ton. Consequently it has attained a
high degree of efficiency in hat line,
and it has become automatic that mo
counterfeiter can get away with it."
Cleverness Against Cleverness.
But high wages for skilled and I'M
skilled labor do not seem to have APP
pealed to a number of clever men who
during the last few months have at
tempted to beat the high cost of living
by making their own money. In on
sequence the secret service has been
unusually active, and five gangs of
counterfeiters operating in widely diff
ferent parts of the country have been
rounded up and their plants confiscat-
ed the government agents.
The war laid an extra heavy burden
on this branch of the governments ma
chinery, and hardly had the amount of
work begun to lessen, when counter
felt bills began to appear in unusual
quantities, and the work of the crimi-
nails made their detection difficult.

AS has been related already in the

at Chicago a few weeks ago struck his
foot against something sharp, and on
investigating found it was a copper
plate engraving of a $40 federal re-
serve note. He turned it over to the
federal authorities, who saw that it
was an imperfect plate, but in the
light of long experience they guessed
that where that plate came from there
We're others in process of manufacture.
With no other clew to work on, they
began an investigation and soon ar
they had been experimenting with

Twelve such plates were found in
their possession, some of them so well
made that bills printed from them
would have been very hard of detec-

SCHOOL ELECTION

The election for the continua.
ton Of the present school tax for
two years is near and much de-
pends upon It's outcome. If it is
defeated, it means the arrest Of
-our building program andless ad-
vantages for our teachers which
ukimates less advantage for our
children. We cannot afford to
hamper neither our teachers nor
our children, if we desire to see
them equipped for better work
and prepared for better citizens.
Taxation of this kind is of the
most general benefit to our peo-
pie and most equitably divides
the burden for such work.
Thinking men recognize these
facts and are ready to support
work of this sort. They do not
want an illiterate citizenship IN
the future and the way not to
have that is to support present
progressive school movements.
Some say, Taxes care heavy
and they do not care to pay more.
Are q few dollars to be consider
ed Of more value than educated
youth? Surely not!
Others object to tax because it
is proposed to build a new school
