BACKS LOWDEN PLAN

Editorial opinion throughout the
country is yOiciHg belief in the.
efficacy of motor transportation as
a result of the sO-called strike OF
OUTLAW" railway employees.
One of the most notable editorials
appearing on this subject was in
the Chicago News, which declared
that The answer that is beginning
to be made in such emergencies, is
brief and breezy-'Ship by Truck
Referring to the proclamation is
sued by Governor Frank O. LOwden,
of Illinois, the editorial goes on to
say:
When railroad employees conclude
to strike, and then suit the action
to the word. as have thousands of
switchmen in many parts of the
country. the communities thus af-
fected quickly begin to wonder
where their necessary food and fuel
supplies will come from if transpOr-
tation by rail should prove nearly
or quite impossible. The answer
that is beginning to be made in such
emergencies is brief and breezy
Ship by Truck
Governor LOwden, joining with
the executives of many of the other
States, has fixed upon the week be-
ginning May II as Ship by Truck
week, in which period it is expected
that particular attention will he
given to the feasibility and also the
advantages of hauling freight by
motor truck.
'As Governor Lowden says in his
proclamation, this method of taking
goods to market calls for general
Improvement of highways. The dis
cOnceTting advance in the cost of
labor and materials for the time be-
ing has made the construction of
paved country roads so expensive
that the Ear-reaChing plans OF Illi-
noiS for the inauguration of State
wide policy of road Improvement
have had to be put aside. In ask
ing that general attention be given
by the Illinois public to the ship
ment by motor truck Governor Low
den points to a very special need
OF the present time.
1t is by no means impossible, for
example. that shipment by motor
truck of materials for road con-
s:ruction might be so systcmatized

EXPERT TELLS KNACK
OF RUNNING MOTOR

According to a writer in Ameri-
can Motorist. half the pleasure in
motoring comes with learning to
manipulate your car with ease and
grace.
Correct form in driving" says
this writer, means minimum drain
on the pocketbook. Velvety stops
and starts prevent unusual strains
on the motor, clutch, transmission,
axles and tires. Starting an auto
mobile Is an art. l believe some
body else has said that. but never
mind. Simple though the act may
be, there are plenty OF drivers who
never acquire the finished way of
doing it. The master driver aims
to create a steady pull on the driv-
ing mechanism from the moment
he slips into first speed until the
car is under full headway. Learn
to accelerate simultaneously with
letting in the clutch. The meChani-
cal act of gear shifting can be
learned in five minutes.
AS soon as you have the car in
high speed, assume a natural. COM
Portable position. Avoid a strained,
hight-tension grip on the wheel"

Endless Highway Chain
Proposed by W, L. Kissel

Everybody should get behind
the Ship by Truck movement"
says W. l.. Kissel, Secretary Treas
urer of the kissel Motor Car Com
pany.
The present railroad freight
crisis emphasizes this necessity
and shows clearly that the Ma
tion's transportation requirements
make 6oOd roads a national neces-
sity.
IF every community. every
county. every State. co-operates
in the matter of building more
good roads and highways, it will
form an endless chain of econom-
ical transportation. an invaluable
addition to the resources CT the

CIRCUS ADOPTS
TRUCK FLEET
Motor Transport Of Tent
Show Wins Favor Of
Management.

Trucks VS.. railroads, trucks win,
hands down." is the way William
Todd. proprietor of Todd's Travel
ing Tented Circus and Vaudeville
aggregation. puts it in writing to
w. S. Boyd, distributor of Republic
trucks in Raleigh, N. c.
Mr. Todd says that motor trucks
afford him a very great advantage
in the saving of time and labor.
Instead of loading tents and 9TH
er properties on wagons, then trans
ferring them to train. and at desti-
nation unloading from train to wa
gons and again unloading at the
show grounds, all Mr.. Todd does
now is load his fleet of Republic
motor trucks, drive to the next
exhibition ground, unload without
any transferring, and prepare for
the shows opening.
The circus lays out its own time
tables and is quite independent of
railroads.
Immediately after the show
closes the trucks are loaded and a
quick start made. so that twenty or
thirty miles may be covered during
the time which is usually spent In
waiting upon railroad transporta-
tion.
Mr.. Todd is most enthusiastic
over motor transportation and is
convinced that the time and labor
| saved alone have more than paid
for the operation and maintenance
of his feet of trucks. Moreover.
his actual cost of transportation is
| considerably less by truck than by
rail.

REGISTRY OF TRUCKS
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

''The Increase in motor truck reg
of 1920 over 1919 has be-
come a matter of great interest"
says G. A, Kissel, president Of the
Kissel Motor Car Company.
while it is difficult to estimate
at this time just what advance reg
istrations this year will show over
last year, recent figures of the State
of Massachusetts gives US a good
idea of what We may expect in our
own State.
The new department of public
works, Boston, states that up to
April 1 36.76S motor trucks were
registered, an increase of 22 per cent
over the same four months of 1919.
These figures show the tendency of
commercial and industrial America
to avail itself of the economy and
the motor truck offers
over any other form of transporta-
ton"
