A prominent figure in motor truck manufacture is c. A. Tilt, president of the Diamond T Motor Car company.
 Starting in his fathers shoe factory sweeping floors, he finally ended up by spending eight years on the road for the concern.
 At the age of 2S, MT. Tilt started in business for himself, building passen- ger cars-cars of a special design with built to- order bodies, which were bought and driven by wealthy club men.
 Tits first experience with motor trucks came with an order he received from the Wolff Manufacturing com pany of Chicago.
 At that time he had no plans, de- signs models or anything else evolved on motor trucks, and this order, com ing from a large concern showed the confidence he had built up in the minds of those he had been dealing with.
 In casting about for name for the new car factory, Mir Tilt chose the name of a high quality brand of shoes made by his father, and called the Diamond T brand.
 The truck building activities of the Diamond T company started nine years ago, and the car experience dates back l 15 years
 Most disastrous of all abuses of mo- tor I1uckS IS OVeTlOdulHS- I@NShy NAIdl part of the truck is affected by con tinuous over-taxation of its rated | strength, and results in premature breakdown. These points are empha- tically presented to the operators of motor trucks by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, in an endeavor to eff feet greater economy in truck trans portation.
 By avoiding the more common abuses to which motor trucks are subjected, hundreds of truck owners will realize a greater period of service than they now get through neglect and careless ness.
 Every truck built has a factor of safety" or a margin of strength above it's rated capacity. It was intended for emergency use for strains are cer- tain to occur in the life of any truck. Instead of abiding by the rated capac- ity. operators take advantage of this margin and persist in putting on a lit- tie more, regardless of the Injurious results of this practice
 The parts of motor truck affected by overlooking are: The axle, the tires the wheels the springs, the frame the brakes, the transmission and the engine. Not only will repair bill pile up, but the truck itself will be prema- turely consigned to the dump heap.
 The axle may be gradually fractured and finally break with the truck owner attributing it to. defective material Bending strains is another phase ot the effect of overlooking on aXles When trucks are overloaded and the brakes are set firmly, greater friction

SPEAKING OF ORDERS.

The comforting upon the Earl
Beatty by the president of China
Of the order of the Excellent Crop
has called attention to the pictur-
esqueness of some of the honorary
appellations that are being so free
ly bestowed after the war. A num-
ber of British officers have re-
Gently received the order of the
Striped Tiger, which would seem
to make them eligible to at least
associate membership in Tammany.
The Orders of the Sacred Treasure
and of the Lion and Sun are pc
culiar to Persia. The Order of the
Golden Fleece is a Greek distinc-
tion, which thus far has not been
accorded to any of the operators
in wall street. And, during his
recent visit to England the Per-
sian Shah presented the Prince of
Wales with the order of the Qutz.
A correspondent asks why our
nation, which is now beginning 10
take it's rightful leadership in the
world, should not get into the
fashion and have its president cen
ter distinguished orders. We are
not without a possible precedent.
Didn't n president once upon a
time bestow upon a cabinet mem
ber the order Of the Double
Cross?

GIRL RUNAWAYS.

Not all the mysterious disap
pearances consist of weary fathers
tired of supporting family. Po-
lice records show many reports Of
missing girls enticed from home
by false allurements.
The motive is not always vicious,
Two girls were picked out of a
box car a few days ago dressed as
boys. They wanted to see the
world, but were glad to get food,
girls clothes and transportation
back to home, sweet home. Mere
desire for adventure incites many
escapades.
1t is the universal testimony that
young wanderers bitterly repent
their indiscretions. Modern life Is
so full of activity and opportunity
for all kinds of wholesome devel-
opment, that anyone who throws
over these chances out of either
wanderlust or vicious propensities,
seems almost to have a subnormal
mind.

REWARDING HONESTY.

A New York boy picked up in the
street an order authorizing bearer
to carry away $1.2OO,000 worth of
bonds. On returning it where 1t
belonged he was given a reward of
only $500. The owner concerned
probably felt that virtue is its own
reward, and that people ought TO
be willing to do the right thing
and expect nothing for it.
However, some people will say
that such a case might have fur
nished occasion for showing that
honesty is appreciated. Those who
mislay valuables might well fine
themselves a substantial amount
for caFelessness by giving q gener-
Gus gratuity.
Every time boy gets reeogni-
tion for doing an honest thing
when he may have been tempted
to something else, it helps to prove
that honesty pays. Also that the
world appreciates those who play
the game straight.

and provisions 15c to soc.
Corn opened weak but soon be-
gan to rally. Free selling on the
part of commission houses was
responsible for the initial declines
An opinion was prevalent that the
recent advance had been overdone
and that corn would no longer be
profitable to feed. Talk of fed
eral investigation of big upward
swings in the market of late was
also a bearish factor. Setbacks to-
day, however, found shorts ready
to take profits and it only needed
a moderate stimulus to send values

supplied by reports that dry wealth
er southwest threatened the wheat
crop in that section and that the
forecast was fair and warmer.
weekend evening up of trades
contributed to make demand un-
usually brisk at the last. Strength
of oats was for the most part in
response to the action of corn.

WORLDS LONGEST POWER
line -sf

The Southern Sierra Power COM
pany of Riverside, Calf. has for
some time past been transmitting
q high tension electric current for
a distance of 517 miles and doing
it successfully.
This line runs from the compa-
ny's plant in California to Yuma,
Ariz. The current is ordinarily
brought 239 miles from Yuma to
san Bernardino at $4,000 volts and
stepped down to $4,000 volts and
sent on the remainder of the dis
tance. The fiexibility of the sys-
tenn, however, is such that when a
transformer recently burnt out in
san Bernardino the current was
sent the full SIT miles at $4,000
volts during the time for repairs.
This simply shows the unlimited
power resources that can be devel-
oped in the west.
The Montana Power company
has demonstrated that the heaviest
freight and passenger trains on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
can he handled successfully with
electricity. The Southern Sierra
Power company has demonstrateu
that distance is no barrier to the
transmission of power.

AMERICA NOT HEART BROKEN

Once more has the remodeled
made-in-E Europe match between
ocean separated nations been halt
ed by its friends, by order of the
match maker in the White House
because the nuptials cannot be
made sufficiently lasting and COM
plete, the bride being disposed TO
make reservations for fear of get
ting into a mesalliance.
1t was by order of the president
that twenty of his tied senator
joined with thirteen anti-league
senators, one of whom is a demo-
crat, to prevent the ratification of
the improved treaty that twenty
one demicrats voted to ratify. Thus
they had four more votes than were
necessary to prevent the settlement
of the whole matter on lines ap-
proved by a majority of both demo-
cratic and republican senators who
were there to vote. Absent sena-
tors were paired upon the issue and
their votes would not have changed
the result.
The treaty as amended met with
, approval by the senate, only a ma
iority vote being required to adopt
amendment. But the will of only
one man self-advised and self
appointed had mapped out the flu
ture course of this country and he
refused to yield one iot to the ma
jority of the peoples senate, made
up in fair proportion from the two
parties.
Long ago Senator Fail and later
Senator Lodge sought to end the
status with relation to Germany by
having congress declare that a
state of peace existed between the
two countries, as it has for many
months. Perhaps this may no long
er be objected to by the administra-
ton, which has been refused an
army of half a million men asked
for by Secretary Baker because the
president desired the manufactures
over alien lands as per promise tc
other allies who desired help in
keeping peace among neighbOrs
under control of certain powers. As
the president can not have Ameri,
can boys to send to those remote
regions to hold down the natives
he may be willing to let the United
States and Germany call off theil
quarrel, which has ended; without
this country doing so through con-
sent of a league.
The heart of America remains
unbroken despite stoppage of nup-
tial ceremony.

REDUCE FIRE RISKS AND
RATES.

The report of the insurance com
missioner shows that New Mexico
has too many fire losses and yet
the people pay out for Insurance
more than twice the amount that
comes back. Rates are high and
could be reduced by reducing the
number of fires.
w. A. McSwain, insurance COM
missioner for South Carolina, asks
in a magazine article why it is that
fire losses maintain their present
staggering rates > The losses for
1917 in this country were $3.50
$4,000, or about $1,000 for each
family.
Fire departments are being i'm
proved and fire prevention appa-
ratus installed. Yet the losses keep
! up to the highest levels
Mr.. McSwain argues for cam
. paigns of education. But the best
way, he says is to have regular
inspections of property. He points
out how the federal government
mites of frame construction. The
buildings were inflammable, and
if owned by private corporation
insurance companies might not
have been willing to take them.
Many such towns had poor water
supplies. Yet their fire loss was
practically nothing. The reason
was that these buildings were reg
g ularly inspected,
To cover the whole country with
inspectors would be very costly,
Many buildings do not need it. But
, a much more general inspection
system in congested districts ought
to save enough property to pay
the watchers. Many fire authori-
ties also claim it would pay to have
regular inspections for buildings
through the rural districts.
The cause of most fires is care
lessness. The insurance system In
a way helps to encourage fires.
The average individual says: II
am covered by insurance, so |
should worry" and he fails to take
the precautions he would take were
he not covered. SO when every
one takes that attitude, the fire
loss breaches staggering proper
tons.
The man who rents a house may
think it costs him nothing. But
he pays for it just the same in his
rent bill which has to be large
enough to cover insurance.

Mr.. Cummings knew that the
gathering was aware the re-
publican congress passed the suf-

that the prohibition code was en-
acted by the same body. Maybe at
heart he considered these two fea-
lures destructive instead of con-
structive and so left them unmen-

New York. Marcn 20.-Sharp
advances in several of the motor
shares and related specialties mo-
nopolized the attention of traders
during today's brief but very active
stock market session. General Mo-
tors was the spectacular feature,
scoring an extreme rise OF 40 1s
points at 39S on an enormous turn
over and closing at $50, despite ex-
tensive realizing for profits.
Stutz Motor was next in favor at
a net gain of sixteen points to 220,
a new high record and an advance
of II points for the week. Strom-
berg Carburetor, controlled by
Stutz interests, held the greater
part of its siX-point rise.
The balance of the list was ir-
regular or reactionary most of the
time, but improved toward the
close when steels. equipments and
oils were in demand with coppers
and shippings. Sales amounted To
$4,000 shares.
Buying of metals resulted from
reports that steps were under way
