 POINT IN HISTORY

Chicago, June 5.-Potato prices to- day reached their highest price in the history of the country. This was re- ported by the federal bureau of mar kets after new potatoes had advanced sz a hundredweight over yesterday s figures and old potatoes had moved up 70 to 75 cents.
 New potatoes sold here today at $ll 70 SIT a hundredweight. which figures out around s7.20 a bushel. One car of old potatoes sold at s9.25 a hundred W weight. which is at the rate Of $6,75 to S7 a bushel. Old potatoes were re- ported in small quantity and new po- tatoes are the chief supply.

in 1908, there were no motoH
trucks, and in 1904 All were producedS
in 1911 1866, and in 1919 305. 900, ex-
elusive Of uncompleted war orders; and
that there were in use in this country
to-day about 100000 motor trucks Of
all sizes. These trucks were In use in
all industries and in all branches Of
business, and, as the motor truck is
part Of the mechanical equipment Of all
industries, all engineers should have .
comprehensive knowledge Of the proper
use OF the motor truck, and motor trans
portation engineering was defined as
the proper application Of the motor
vehicle.
That one Of the fundamentals in the
proper application Of the motor vehi-
Gle was an understanding Of motor
truck operating costs, this being the
basis of its whole application. Mr.. Lane
stated to the students, and detailed the
elements entering into the costs of
truck operation Of all sizes for esti-
mating whether it would be economical
to use motor trucks or some other
means Of transportation. He went over
the necessity of keeping truck operat-
ing costs after the truck was in use, so
that studies could be made as to
whether the truck was being used prof.
ltably and economically.
Mr.. Lane has just been appointed
member OF the transportation commit
tee of the Federal Highway Council.
He was formerly chief transportation
engineer of the Packard in Detroit.

Great Expansion Is
Reported at Kenosha

Increasing demand for products Of
the Nash Motors Company is reflected
in substantial additions to the plant
at Kenosha the last year," says c. B.
Warren, president of the Warren-Nash
Motor Corporation. cit is in this fac
tory that six-cylinder cars and trucks
are built, the new plant in Milwaukee,
now under construction being planned
for the exclusive production Of tho
four.
"A building 12ox12o has been added
to the large foundry. There ALSO has
been constructed foundry warehouse
and pattern storage, 80 by 100 feet.
Other new buildings include q new
roller bearing tool room and pattern
shop, 100 by 600 feet and an addition
to the sheet metal shop, measuring
32x236 feet. Four courtways that for
merly separated long lines Of saw-tocth
buildings have now been rooted and
turned into component parts of the
factory. Under construction now are a
new boiler room, 5Ox50 feet, and an
addition to the heat-treating depart
ment measuring 40x14O feet.
There are in operation in the Nash
factory more than 1900 productive
machines and 800 factory maintenance
machines; the plant embraces 1,011,S32
square feet of floor space, and in the
power plant which keeps the machinery
in operation, 120 tons of coal are used
every twenty-four hours Five thousand
men, are on the pay roll"

Boy Scouts to Travel
I'm Rolling Camps
Fifty Lads From Akron VIII
Make Pilgrimage to Roose-
welt Grave

Fifty of Akron's boy scouts will make
an automobile pilgrimage to the grave
of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay,
L. L., on July /. The scouts will hold a
short service and pay silent tribute to
the great leader Of men.
The third annual trip to be given to
the Boy Scouts by the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company will begin on
June rs and end on July 10. Selection
Of the fifty boys will be made within
the next two months at field day,
when various scout troops in Akron
will designate their best scouts to take
competitive test Of the scout work.
The fifty who rank highest will be
chosen to make the pilgrimage.
The big, pneumatically cushioned
trucks from the company's Akron Bos-
ton freight line will carry the boys
ninety miles a day, with four hours
travel in the morning and two hours
and half in the afternoon. This is to
avoid fatigue and to allow time for
fun and relaxation each day.
From Akron the trucks will travel to
Pittgburgh, Bedford, Gettysburg Fhila-
delphia and New York, with stop-over
at Oyster Bay. A most pleasant and
eagerly anticipated part of the trip
will be the three days. stop at the ma
tional Boy Scout camp at Bear Noun
tain, near West Point, N. Y. Here the
boys will mingle with scouts from
other sections of the country, compete
with them in athletics and make new
acquaintances.

that 40000,000 tires will be produced
Automobile exports last year were of
startling totals. The value Of motor
vehicles and parts sent abroad to
elghty-one countries was $146,3S4.5l6,
OF which 62,624 were passenger cars
valued at $68, ,945,740, while 14,748 were
commercial vehicles worth $35,372,4lo.

1t is estimated that there were in
1919 62,O36 automobile dealers, garages
and repair shops in the United States,
OF the total 32,317 were passenger car
dealers, 18,943 were truck dealers, 96.-
427 were garages and 43,3s1 were re-
pair shops.
Farmers were the largest users. Of
motor trucks, owning 10 per cent more
than manufacturers and is per cent
more than retailers. 1t is estimated
that 40 per cent of the car output
was sold to farmers last year.
The 100000 motor vehicles in use
in the United States, of which 700, 900
are motor trucks, brought s65, 900, 900

Lovers of horse flesh will view with
sadness the fact that 100000 horses
were displaced by motor trucks last
year. At the same time it is estimated
that 100000 acres Of land were re-.
leased for food production by the use
Of trucks.

Unlimited Field
For Motor Truck
As Haulage Unit
Passengers and Freight in
Less Than Carload Lots
Will Be Carried So, Is
Prediction of MIR. Lane

That the motor truck will eventually
haul practically all the. freight going
over the streets and highways, most
Of the short haul freight and part Of
the long haul (less than carioad) freight
now being hauled by the railroads. and
that the motor truck designed as q
motor bus will haul great part of
the urban and intcrurban passenger
traffic was the prediction made by F..
Van z. Lane, general maintenance
manager of Hare's Motors, in his ini-
tial lecture on motor transportation
engineering before the engineering stu
dents Of the New York University last
week.
Those who think that this is some
what extreme view will be interested
in reading some Of the factors
that Mr.. Lane gave as his reasons:
More good roads.
A growing realization on the part
of the shipper that the delivery part
portance to the success Of his busi-
ness.
Shippers are realizing that the
motor truck has a greater economi-
cal value.
Elimination of street congestion.
Growing realization that the motor
truck is more economical than rail-
roads for short haul in heavy traffic
territory.
Growing realization that the motor
truck smore economical than rail-
roads in light traffic stub end terri
tory.
More extensive use Of the truck by
farmers.
Development and use Of loading
and unloading devices.
Development of special bodies and
special equipment.
The perfecting Of maintenance,
dispatching, routing and shipping
fbom methods.
Increasing use Of the motor truck
designed as a motor bus in passenger
transportation.
Improvement in chassis design and
construction.
Increasing interest in and general
understanding Of motor transporta-
tion engineering.
In showing the growing importance
of motor truck traffic, Mr.. Lane stated
that when he was graduated from the

Urges Owners to Give

studebaker Manager Says Little
Money Spent Now Will Pay
Dividends i'm Better Service

This is the season when nearly all
cars should have their spring tonic,'"
says l. G. Jones, manager of the Stude-
baker branch. "Owners who spend a
little money for light overhaul now
Will find it to be the best investment
ever made since Buying their cars.
ITO expect any motor car in con-
tinuous service all winter to have

without careful overhaul.ng is un-
reasonable" says Mr.. Jones. "The
owner who shows neglect on this point
Is doing himself an injustice. It may
be some Inconvenience to be without
the use Of car while it is being over
hauled, but it pays in the end. Plac-
Ing the car in the shop for this neces-
sary, annual attention will bring better
service this spring, summer and fall.
winter is hard on car, whether it
Is In service or in storage, and in JUS
tice to the car owners should bring it
in to the dealer for the necessary
cleaning and adjustment. The average
owner does not realize that he himself
is to blame for the failure Of his car
to give long, satisfactory service be-
cause he did not give it proper atten-
tion.
"Owners can have the necessary
spring tonic administered to their
cars at small expenditure. according
to the model of the car. This invest
ment will put the average car in good
condition, prolong its life and enable
the owner to drive it with pleasure"

Anderson's Estimate May Appear Too Generous.
