 What if your loss is covered by inz aurance? Does that compensate for the hazard to the other mans life and property your carelessness has begot?
 Of course, there is a reason. There Is only supervised parking space for about one-tenth of the total number of automobile that are parked down town each day.
 Unless your car is a very recent model it probably has no locking de- vice built in. And perhaps you have passed up as worthless the scores of locking devices that are offered the motorist
 It probably is true that there is yet to be invented an automobile lock that the professional automobile thief can not ''pick-" But even a poor lock sometimes halts the thief just long enough for him to be stopped.
 More likely you have lock, but find 1t too much trouble to lock the machine when you leave it, especially for short periods. You're guilty on

THREE THINGS ENTER
 INTO THE SELECTION

Roads. loads and volume are three things that enter into the selection of q motor truck.
 If capacity loads can be carried regu- iarly. 1t is a fact that the larger the truck the more economical it is to op- crate. Savings effected through ob- servance of this pule greatly outstrip any Saving that might be effected in the purchase of smaller sized unit
 For instance, coal companies nave proved to their own satisfaction that five-ton trucks deliver coal at nearly one-half the per ton cost of delivery by one or two-ton trucks. The req sen for this Is plain. The overload expense of the five-ton truck Is but slightly more than that of a one-ton truck, yet the volume of coal deliv- cred is from four to five times as great
 Size determined, the question of clias- SIS length must be considered Lengthy material such as pipe or lumber re- 'quires long wheelbase truck Bulky hut light material, such as empty bar fels org furniture, likewise should he handled with a long wheelbase truck Some types of load can be best hauled with trailers or seni-t Hers. winch

 The aeromarine flying limousine. which will be exhibited at the New York airplane show early in March. is to be a masterpiece--of white, gold and blue. The plane will be equipped with a tiny ice-chest and cellarette, cigar lighters, vases. baggage com pertinent and book racks. And in the event that the passengers are veterans for whom there are no thrills in lofty passage, there is a blue silken shade at the front of the cabin that may be snapped back to permit reading by a convenient electric light. For night needs there is a complete electrical lighting system. It Is impossible for smokers to fill the compartment with tobacco smoke because tiny ventilators carry it out of the plane.

GOODYEAR BUILDS
 FLYING FIELD WITH
 CITY OF LOS ANGELES

Fo-stimu1zte public interest in aerial transportation, the Goodyear Tire and Rrbber Company of California, CO., operating with the city of Los An geles. Gal, has established munich pal aviation field at its new factory now under construction in the Cali fornia city.
 Comprising so acres, the flying field, loaned by Goodyear to the municipality has four hangars for the accommoda- ton of airplanes and within the next month an addition of a complete air ship hangar will be made. It is the intention of Los Angeles officials to have the coast Wingfoot field open to use by any planes wishing to land to discharge or take on passengers, or in tie event that refuelling is necessary.
 Three quarters of a mile long and half a mile wide, the field will offer every facility for safe and easy land ings. AlthougNentirely level and com posed of hard ground allowing land ings to- be made anywhere, a stretch of fine turf 400 feet wide, running di- agonally across the field, will assure landings and take-offs under ideal con ditions This green diagonal will also mark the field, so that it can easily be distinguished by aviators. Painted strips on one of the 130-foot smoke stacks of the factory will serve as g. further guide to fliers.
 The airship hangar will house any dirigible landing at the field. but will especially be used to shelter the new tractor, Pony Blimp" Goodyear has constructed for commercial purposes and which will be shown for the first time at the San Francisco aero show ir April. It is probable that this ship will be taken to Los Angeles after the show and several flights made.
 Los Angeles officials believe the new wingfoot will be widely used by fliers, as there is great activity in aeronautics On the coast. It is probable that fuel- ling facilities and aviation mechanics will be supplied eventually.

To repair celiuloid automobile win 6ows is not nearly as difficult a job ss may be assumed. according to Amer .can Motorist which goes on to say:
 AThe job requires only some sheet cel1uloid-sold by every top repairer and by many automobile supply houses-and some celluloid cement. The latter makes it unnecessary to use needle and thread in replacing win dows.
