Motor Truck Co. has elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, Emlen S.
Hare; vice presidents, Henry Lans-
dale, H. d. Church, and o. f. Hunt:
secretary and treasurer, F. r. Hick-
man. These men now hold the same
respective positions in Hare's Mo-
tors, the Locomobile Company and
the Mercer Motors Company. James
l.. Giddes, who has been president
of the Kelly-Springfield Company,
was elected chairman of the board.
The addition of the Kelly-Spring-
field truck to the Hare's Motors
line" said Hare, "is merely another
step forward in our plans to give
our distributors and through them
the public a complete line of non
competitive passenger and freight
transportation of the highest quail
ity. Our objective is to place Hare's
Motors in a position to serve the
public through a distributor in each
important center who will be COM
petent to advise them as to their
transportation requirements and in
| telligently supply the type of car
or truck which best fits the par
ticular conditions. Our success, just
as much as that of our distributors,
uCPchuS upon their eSIdDllSHmen mt on
basis that will be profitable to
them and satisfactory to the public
This method of business will, l
believe, bring the respect and sup
port of the public and also lower
the cost of selling.
Back Of our objective. of course,
is recognition of the fact that to
lave a highly successful business,
it is necessary that we offer more
I value per dollar than others in the
automotive industry. To obtain
manufacturing economy, it is ad-
visable to produce only one kind OF
product in each plant. We have.
therefore, ceased manufacturing
Riker trucks at the Bridgeport plant
and will devote that factory entirely
to the manufacture of LScomobHes.
The next step was to build a truck
factory and equip it with machinery,
or, better yet, to take over some
well-known truck manufacturer who
had an efficient factory already
equipped. And that is what has
happened"

tdensity. The saturated solution is
made by dissolving about fifteen
pounds of calcium chloride in one
gallon of water. Mixing equal
parts of this saturated solution and
water gives a solution which has a
freezing point OF about twenty de-
grees below zero.
Kerosene Also Used.
Calcium chloride. like glycerine.
before being used must be tested
for acidity. This can be done by
dipping a bit of litmus paper in the
saturated solution. Acidity may be
neutralized by the addition of a
small quantity of Stacked lime. Fur
ther tests with the litmus paper will
show when naturalization has been
accomplished. Two parts of water
to one of saturated solution will
freeze at zero. Three parts of wa
ter to one of saturated solution will
freeze at ten degrees above zero.

WATER|SPURE
PROBE SHOWS
Board Of Health Satisfied With
Condition
CONTAINS MUCH IRON
Water is Clearer Now Than It
Has Been for Several
Weeks

An examination of the city water
supply has just been completed in
the Perth Amboy Board of Health
laboratory by M. Nichols and shows
that the water here contains q large
amount of iron. The water was ex-
amined at the time 1t was. reddish
brown in color, when complaints
were made that people could not
drink or use it for any purpose.
Under the microscopic examination
the water was reddish brown In col
or, presumably caused by oxidation
of iron salts. The water
at times had a disagreeable slightly
sionally metallic. The examination
brought out a few albuminoids, a
small amount of normal dirt sedi-
ment and a precipitate of iron (large
particles red brown, with metallic
luster).
Samples of the water were placed
in the incubator at thirty-seven de-
grees for period of twentyfour
hours This process showed practic-
ally no growth. This result, accord
ing to the examination, may be con-
sidered to be brought about by ex-
cess iron deposit which appears to
inhibit growth of bacteria.
The bacillus test showed there was
no gas production.
Other tests brought out the pres
ence of chlorine, sulphates and cal
cium. The only substance which ap-
peared to be excess was iron. When
clear the water is considered health
full.
