civic organizations and the automobile club. and they will be aided by the field organization of the B. F. Goodrich Rub Der Company, the company which origi- mated tnd ropularized the "safety-First" slogan.
 The need for educating the people in ways to prevent accidents was seen by the Goodrich Company six years ago. The .ssafety-First" slogan was adopted as a catch-phrase likely to be remem- bered by anyone who saw or heard it. To popularize the slogan, the Goodrich G mpany carried it In all their advertise ments, placed it on sign posts and bill boards, and in numerous other ways brought it to the attention of the peo- pie.
 The safety-first movement gained ground rapidly throughout the country. One organization after another took it up and launched campaigns to make the safety-first principles more widely known As a result, the number of avoidable accidents began to decrease appreciably, in spite of the increased amount of traffic on the streets.
 Today Safety First is one of the most common expressions in the Eng fish language Everyone knows what it

BET YOU NEVER
 THOUGHT OF THIS!

How often during the winter, when it became necessary to prime your motor to secure start, have you cursed your luck when you found yourself without cOntainer of some so~t for the priming fluid: Next time that happens just take one of your tire-vaive caps. tic a string around it and lower this improved dipper into the fuel tank; it will bring up gasoline sufficient to prime the engine. Simple, isn't it:
 If you happen to be of the tribe | who don't even trouble with tire valve caps you may still secure the much-needcd priming gasoline by tfeing a rag. piece of cotton waste handkerchief to n piece of string. Let down into the gasoline tank the cloth or cotton waste will soak up fuel. which can be squeezed into the priming cups or plug open ings. Where therc is q will there is way.-Americnn Motorist.

ACCEPTING CARS AS THE SOLUTION Transportation Problems Will Be Cared for By
 Autos and Trucks

Automobile manufacturers believe the present demand for ears and trucks is merely the indication of a continuing demand fer the best trans portation facilities, and they are back ing their belief with enlarged fla cilities. The most recent announce ment concerning the growth of the in- dustry comes from the Packard Motor Car Company, which, according to AL van Macauley, president of the com pany, is spending sS,o00.O0O on addi- tions to it's plant.
 This year will be. the greatest in the history of the greatest net only Because it will be the most prosperous. out because the entire world is ac- cepting motor cars and trucks as the solution of it's transportation problems. That is vastly more important than a mere year or so of prosperity It means that sthe industry is standing squarely on the merits of the part it is playing in the readjustment of the wor1d.'
 The Packard company has announced double production of trucks and twin six cars for 1920. The increase in pant facilities brought about by the investment of sS,0O0,00o will make an even greater future programme pos sible. Regarding the future, MT. Ma cauley says:
 q have no definite idea what the ultimate consumption of trucks will amount to, but I believe the ultimate use of passengers cars can, with fair accuracy, be measured against the military strength of our country The government records show that we have 19 100000 men between the ages of IS | and 45. That, I take as a fairly ac- ! curate estimate of the number of auto
 mobiles that will ultimately be in use l i'll the United States. It sounds big hut no one has ever had too large a vision of the personalities of our busi- ness"

WHOA! OL' DOZEN
 BARRED IN DENVER
Horse Is Legislated Out of Colorado Metropolis By
 City Fathers

A striking commentary on the trend of the times is offered by the action of the city council of Denver, Col, in pass ing an ordinance which provides that no horses or horse-drawn vehicles may be brought into the corporate limits of that municipality.
 This is the first "class legislation" of the kind on record, so far as is known, but it is safe 10 say 1t is not the last. Motor truck manufacturers even go so far as to predict that all the larger cen tcrs of population will take similar action within the present decade
 h this connection it is interesting to note that latest estimates place America s truck production for 1920 at 350, 0D. Easing it's calculations on the February output of g truck builders, Motor Age places thelr 1920 production at 292,962 commercial cars. As this list does not include White, Grant and several other large truck pro- ducers. it is believed that the S50,000 figure is too low, if anything.
 Henry Ford is doubtless the country s largest truck builder his 1920 schedule calling for 150,0O0 delivery cars. Other es- inmates are: Rec, 25,0e0; Republic and Oldsmobile each 20,O00 C., M, C., 20,5oO' Packard, 10000; Federal, 6500; Transport, 400O: Denby $500; Union and Duplex, ~tNV0' Maxwelrs estimate is not given, but the monthly output is around 800.
 One may wonder where all these trucks will be used, and this speculation points to the growing need for more and better roads Trade reports say there was never q more sustained and insistent demand for motor haulage units. This is attrib- uted largely to the inability of the rail- roads to handle their normal quota of shipping, much of which is being diverted to motor trucks and trailers sS
 Use of trucks and their auxiiaries for short haul freight transportation is be- ing only advocated by railway officials, who see in this quick and efficient me- dium a release from the congestion of railroad facilities, especially in the yards and warehouses of the big cities. But with all it's inherent advantages, the com mercial car cannot successfully operate unless it has reasonably negotiable roads.
 Of timely significance is the proposal of the federal highway council, Washington, D. C., to demand that the dominant po- litical parties put themselves on record at their national conventions on na- tional policy and plan for further high way development. Those behind the movement assert that the growth of mo- tor traffic has made the highways pub lie utility of national scope.

means, and the principles 1t stands for.
 It has caused people to realize that nine terths of all traffic accidents are avoid able. It has taught motorists and oedes- tIians that by observing certain sInp'e
 rules both will be benefited and the death toll from accidents decreased. TO 1till further stimulate interest ]"
 che safety-first movement, the Na- tienal Traffic Officers Association has made arrangements for cooperation m
 all campaigns to be waged this sprine'
 The association will also hold an eNni- bition of safety devices as one of the features of it's annual convention in san
 Francisco next August.
