IOWA RANKS SIXTH
IN MOTOR TRUCKS
OVER A MILLION NOW ARE
IN USE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS
HEAD LIST OF STATES
Trucks Show Greater Percentage OF
Increase Than Passenger Cars for
Year 191e-largest Increase Shown
in Manufacturing Centers-Trueks
in Farm Use Number 49,195.

Iowa ranks sixth among the states
in the number of motor trucks IN
use, having 42,500 of these vehicles
according to a statement compiled by
the Motor Trades bureau of this
country. New York led all other states
having 94,716 trucks in use and
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio. Illinois and CAL
ifornia ran a close race for second
mace. but Illinois won by a small
margin with 5000 trucks. Nevada
came last in the list with only 700.
Altho the greatest increase in
motor truck use was shown by COM
mercial and manufacturing centers'
farming districts also made large
gains. A recent government report
showed that there are now 49,l9o
trucks in use on farms and that the
number is increasing steadily.
Million Trucks In Use.
\ few years ago pessimists assert
ed there never would he a million
automobiles in use turnout the
country They said the auto craze
soon would die out and persons who
had purchased cars soon would he
clad to return to horses. How far
" rong these pessimists were is
shown hy the fact that today there
ire over a million motor trucks in
operation exclusive of passenger
cars. At the end of 1919. there were
95S.n92 trucks in use. as compared
with 100. 900 for the preceding year.
This is a gain of 81 per cent. and is
l6 per cent greater than the gain
showed for passenger cars. Eighteen
states keep separate compilations OF
truck registration.

shaft in relation to that Of the crank
shaft?

half that Of crank shaft.
9-Should a spark plug be replaced
tightly in a cylinder when the water

inder should not be made very tight.

most impossible to remove it after
the motor cools and the metal con-
tracts.
10-Should air pressure in cord
tires be greater or less than-that in
fabric tires?
The air pressure In cord tires
should be 10 per cent less than that

Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-04-07

What is a cause Of squeaking In
wire wheel?
One cause OF squeaking In wire
wheel is looseness in the fitting of
the wheel over it's false hub. The
wheel is locked in this position on
this hub by means of a lock nut,
which when not drawn up tightly,
will cause play and wear in the fit
tings, resulting in squeak.
2-How many Of the worlds out
put of motor cars does the United
States make?
The United States produces rough
ly about six out of every seven au-
tomobiles made in the world.
'3-What is one simple way of saw
ing on tire bills that everyone can
take advantage of?
one way of saving on tire bills is
by common sence use of the brakes.
In going down hill utilize your mo-
tor as a brake by retarding the spark
and closing the throttle. On a steep
hill shift into second or low gear.
In coming to a stop on a level road
the motor can be used to the same
good advantage until the car has
slowed down sufficiently 50 that 4
gentle pressure on the brake pedal
will bring it to stop. Harsh and
sudden brakinE wears out many tires.
Allow did the Victoria type of
auto body derive its name? What is
its design?
The Victoria body was named from
the original coach built for Queen
Victoria of England 1t is an open
car with a collapsible top which COW
-ers the rear seat only.
5-Is it good practice to run a
new gear in contact with one that is
worn?
1t is, not good practice to run
new gear in contact with one that Is
worn because noise will result, due
to imperfect mesh of the new and
old gear teeth. Also efficient serv-
ice from these parts will not be OBJ
tanned.
6--What will cause vibration Of
car when gaining speed Immediately
after changing gears?
A car will vibrate when gaining
speed If the gears were changed
when the car was going too slow. A
remedy is to open the throttle more
and engage the clutch gradually.
Gould a motor operate without
springs attached to the valve stems?
a, motor can not operate without
springs attached to the valves. The

Abe Lincoln Owned
Claim on Highway

The only piece of Iowa land that
Abraham Lincoln ever owned is near
Denison, just stones throw from
the great transcontinental route
named for the martyred president.
1t is rather a poor farm as Iowa
farms so. for 1t is rough and stony
and good only for stock grazing. The
farm was decided to Lincoln by the
government for his services in the
Black Hawk war and altho he never
