The cost OF truck transportation can
be greatly reduced by toarhing driv-
era and owners how to drive and main
tain their truck equipment. This fact
has been proved by the Packard schools
for instruction In truck operation.
These schools. which are conducted by
Packard distributors throughout the
thousand graduates. with the result
that both the men and their trucks
have given more efficient service.
There are no enrolment fees for the
instruction course, the hours are ar
ranged 80 as not to interfere with the
work Of the chauffeurs, and there are
no tiresome lessons or studies to pre-
pare. The work consists of a series Of
informal conferences and 10 practical
rather than technical. No attempt is
made to turn out expert mechanics or
repair men, but effort Is concentrated
on making good drivers who can pre-
vent trouble rather than cure It, Spe-
cial stress is laid on making the minor
adjustments that keep the truck in
best running form, on detecting and
correcting little troubles before they
become big.
SIX TO TEN LECTURES
| After the first lecture in which the
truck structure and operation Is made
clear in a general way subsequent ses-
sions take up specifically such details
| as the gasoline system cooling and
lubricating systems. electrical system,
clutch and transmission, steering,
brakes and controls. loading and SINH
lar matters. the whole course covering
from six to ten sessions. Where re-
quired the course is supplemented by
actual driving periods for demonstra-
| ton.
Among the cities in which schools
are now conducted by Packard distrib-
uters are New York. Boston, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Kansas City, st.
Louis, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Balti-
more, Albany, Omaha, Scranton. Mil
waukee and Detroit. Some of the
PACKARD distributors, in addition to the
truck instruction. conduct separate
course for owners and drivers OF pas
senger motor cars.
The certificates isuued by the schools
to those who complete the course are
recognized as guarantee of a drivers
ability by any Packard branch, and
the certificates in Detroit are accepted
| by tho city authorities as evidence of
the holders competency as truck
operator.

ARMY CARS By THOUSAND

II is the writer's opinnion, based on
his own observations in Europe in the
past year. that the automobile democ-
racy of which Mr.. Mcguire speaks,
may be attributed in great measure to
The war. and to Americas participa-
ton therein.
The American army was well sup
piled with automobiles--better than
any other army. At general headquar-
ters at Chaumont, France, for instance,
was an enormous garage where one
could see scores of Wintons, Gadillacs,
Dodges and Fords. Officers above the
rank of major generally rode in Win
tons or Cadillacs when on business re-
curing the use of a car.
But the natives of France, Belgium
and Germany were more impressed by

HUGE CAMERA
 AIDS SCIENCE
 OBSERVATION

SANTIAGO, Oct. 1 (by Associated Press).-The South American station of Harvard university's observatory, tucked away in the Peruvian Andes near the city of Arequipa, in the old Inca empire, boasts of the largest photographic apparatus in the world. It is a huge telescope camera with a 24-inch lens which has been of great aid to science in it's observa- tions of the southern skies. The station was founded thirty years ago and is located near the base of the famous Andean volcano, Misti. The Arequipanian Indians, descendants of the Inca civilization, frequently speak of themselves as the sons and daughters of the old Misti. It is said the Indians in the surrounding country still worship the mountain with much reverence, re- garding it as the source of earth quakes which often are felt in the region. The volcano erupted seven years ago.
 Superstitions in regard to the moun- tain date back to prehistoric times. The ruins of the ancient pagan temples, writer says, have been found in the crater of the volcano and even today near the top may be seen great iron cross placed there in 1877 when a party of Spanish priests exercised and pleaded with it not to erupt again and destroy their cities.
 The clear atmosphere of the Are quipa region is said to have af- forded an excellent site for an ob- serving station

MOSCOW, Oct 1 (by Associated Press) An agreement has been con cluded by Litvinoff, assistant commis- sioner for foreign affairs of the Rus sian government, and the Italian In- stitue of Cooperators, which has a membership of over 100000, by which four steamers with medica- ments shall be sent from Italy to Rus sia, and Russia has dispatched to Italy 6,00O,OOO poods (of 3607 pounds each) of bread stuffs, according to reports here.
 In addition, Italy must deliver agri- cultural implements, surgical instru- ments, saws, and telegraph and tele- phone material. An order has als' been placed for narrowguage loco motives.
 It is proposed to establish a regu- lar steamer traffic between Odessa and Naples, the trip taking fifteen days. In this operation it is stated all clements of gain have been eX-

 The union has placed these steam CTS at the disposal of the Italian Insti- ute for delivery of goods exclusive ly to Russia. The Italian Institute of Co-operators proposes to open branches in Moscow, Odessa and Re- val. The representative of the ltal- ian Cop-operators will be Signor Ron- doni, a Socialist member of the ltal- ian parliament.
 The first consignment of grain to be received at Naples from Odessa early this month was reported to be in such a condition of putrefactlon that large portion of it had to be condemned

SHORT STORIES ABOUT ALASKA
 OCCURRENCES

B. V. D.'s and other form of sum- mer clothing made a hurried exit at Juneau last week when the first new snow fell on the hills about town.
 Earl Mccormack of Sacramento Cal, and Florence Virginia McLush, of Chicago secured a license to wed last week at Juneau and were mar ried later by Rev. Greenlee of the M E. church.
 Two hundred and seventy eight ~ students were enrolled on the opening day of the Ketchikan schools, being an increase over the enrolment of the opening day of 1919. Fiftyone pupils are in the high school
 Senator Heckman of Ketchikan has started the construction of $1OO,OOO concrete building which is to be two stories high and will cover half a for mercantile establishment and remainder for storage space.
 Alaska is full of romance and as great a field for short story writing or novelsts today as it was in the days of the dance hall" so says F. Richardson Pierce, who was in Sew ard, Anchorage, Chickaloon, Eska nd hn hoe he said he found rich material for stories.
 "I am in favor of removing all the protection from the Alaska brown bear, but I advocate the placing of an export tax or license, of $500 per skin on them" declared Dr. E. w. Nelson, chief of the Alaska biological survey.
 Dr. Nelson, who has just complet- ed long trip from Nome across the interior to Fairbanks and thence to Cordova. has talked to many pros pectors, trappers and settlers regard ing the brown bear. His invastjga- tion, he said had convinced him of the desirability of taking the protec- tion off the brown bear. On all sides, he said, he heard authentic stories of destruction of stores cached by prospectors, by these animals. He has also heard stories of unprovoked attacks on men but he is inclined to doubt the seriousness of this side of the case.

 TO EMBROIDERY WORK

RAWLINS, Wyo., Oct. 1 (by Associ- ated Press) Artistic embroidery work as an occupation for a train robber may sound unusual but is is bringing to William L. Carlisle, whose exploits following his robbery of a Union Pacific train filled the columns of newspapers for days, an income which allows him to pursue studies in prison.
 Carlisle still suffers from wound in his chest at the time of his cap ture and is unable to do heavy work.

TECHE COMPANY TO
EXTEND BUS LINE
TO BERWICK
Now Operating Between
New Iberia and Frank
lin TwO-HOur
Schedule

The Teche Transfer Company,
now operating bus line between
New Iberla and Franklin, will
extend the line to Berwick com
mencing Monday, May 10th. Auto
busses will make trips between
the two points every two hours,
with stops at all intermediate
points along the route.
Mr.. Fleght stated that four
transfer bnsses are now making
the run between New Iberia and
Franklin, and that one more
would be added within few
days. The cars will run on regular
schedule, aud will make it possible
for passenger to travel between
the two points without having to
make long waits for trains. AS
many as eighteen passengers may
be taken at one time, and the
fare from Berwick to New Iberia
will be 81 30.
The transfer line has been in
operation for the past few months
and Mr.. Fieght declares that ii
has met with unusual success so
far. He reports a large business
Sundays, when large crowds are
taken to the shell beach at Char
enton. He explained that ar
rangements are made on Sundays
to run late bus to carry folks
back home from the beach. This
extra service-will be continued, he
says, and those from here who
would spend the day at the beach
may do so, returning at almost
any time they choose. A special
bus from the beach meets all of
the busses passing through Char
entOn.
The headquarters of the Tecbe
Transfer Company are in Jean
erette, and the company Is CON-
posed principally of Jeanerette
capitalists. Mr.. Fieght formerly
was foreman of the mill depart
ment of the Jeanerette Lumber
aud ShingIe Company, resigning
that position to assume the man
agement of the transfer line.

the guarantOrs of the erection of
these posts probably will be
guaranteed by loyal citizens, SO
that no one will carry the burden
rightfulIy belonging to others.
The entire list of guarantors
will be published next week in the
local papers, so that readers may
ascertain just which citizens are
really building our community TO
the SIZE and prosperity it so rich y
deserves.
l.. f. Villermin, electric expert
OF the City, Opined during the
week that five lights on each side
of the street along short blocks,
like the one between Weeks aud
Julia and the one between Julia
and Church Alley on one side and
Bridge Street on the other, are too
many. He suggests that four be
substituted, one on each corner
and two in the block, making a
total of four lights on each side.
He further purposes to measure
the distance between each of these
lights and TO erect light posts in
the other blocks TO Jefferson
Street the same distance apart, SO
as to make the lighting system
more uniform and also cost each
guarantor less than the original
petition per unit.
Too much light, in the opinion
of many experts along this line,
woald be even worse than too
little This opinion has been
voiced by many experts in larger
cities.
The City, If 1t accepts the
petitions and acts on them, is
taking an obligation Oh itself of
furnishing power for a great
Dumber of $50 watt or 500 candle
power globes and furnishing real
illumination where it will do the
most good, aud at the same time
afford the City one of the best
adver tisemeDts possible Well
illuminated streets gives a visitor
within our gates an impression
that we are prosperlng (and we
certainly are), and by word of
mouth pass the word to the next
traveller and so on. By word of.
mouth advertising is an endless
chain and regulations of cities,
communities and states thrive

GEISSLER HAD
SOME CAREER
IN WASHINGTON

New London, July 16 - Bernard
Geissler, thechauffeur who is believ-
ed to have murdered Mrs. DeCordova
and then took his own life, had had
quite a checkered career as far as
women were concerned. At one time
he was driving a car for wealthy
families in Washington. D. c.
While in the capital he had an af-
fair with a woman from New York
whose father was the proprietor of
a butcher shop. She went to Wash
ington with Geissler and remained
there for six months working part Of
the time as a maid in the household
of Senator Weeks of Massachusetts.
This woman was married and her
husband followed to Washington
after a time and threatened to kill
Geissler. He was unable to locate
him and took his wife back to New
York. A short time after, it is said,
he killed her in Central Park.
Another event in which he figured
was the party at the Arlington hotel
at the conclusion of which John
Macaboy, one of the party was killed
by Barney Phillips, o a millionaire
clubman. Before Geissler went to
Washington he was a mechanician in
one of the Vanderbilt cup races.
All the authorities now seem to
agree on the fact that it was a case
of murder and suicide. There has
been some discussion as to a. third
person but this has been brushed
aside. Once again the story that
there were black and blue marks on
Mrs. DeCordova's throat has been
denied, although there is still some
slight disagreement on the matter be-
tween the authorities.
At the present time the indications
are that the authorities will allow the
case to drop without making any
further attempt oestablish a motive.
