';Sktip by Truck'' Becoming
More and More Imperative
Transportation Delays Eliminated by Rural Motor
Express, With Result That Food Is Delivered
Fresh and at Saving to Every One Concerned

City, Iowa, to Albert Lea, Mimi, a dis
lance of forty-two miles, over a new
dirt road, covered the eightyfour mile
round trip in six hours and forty
minutes. The expense by motor truck
was $24.80, which covered all overhead
expenses, whereas by rail the cost
would have been $41.40.
The rural motor express comes to US
Of necessity, comes to US because the
need for it is as greatly felt in this
Fperiod Of reconstruction, as it was dur
ing the war. Secretary Redfeld says
that our transportation system will
never be perfect until we link up our
railways and waterways with our high
ways.
Rails and water will only partially
serve, while the highways are the
natural arteries, reaching every man
and bringing the world to his door.
Roads Part of Defense
No nation can be safe and sound
from peril which neglects its highways.
Rome never could have conquered the
Old World without her highways. They
brought remote parts within the influ-
ence of the seat Of empire, and made
the old saying Cali roads lead to Rome"
a fact.
While steel rails have helped to
make us one of the leaders Of the
world, we will never truly lead until
we master highway transportation and
serve every man and every community.
The highways Of Rome were built for
war and she held the world in the hol-
low Of her hand. Let us build our
highways for commerce, for with the
motor truck we can lead the world,
carrying over those highways the COM
morce Of our nation.
Highway transportation for carrying
all commodities and especially rural
motor express will develop rapidly, and
the near future will witness great
trunk lines and feeders to them serving
as lanes Of commerce over which
motor trucks will carry a great part of
that commerce and the greater part of
our food SUPPLY.
The development in only a few
months of this form of transportation
shows clearly that the future is very
bright for the dealer, the farmer or
any other man who will get into the
game at the beginning.

Assured Should
Know Terms of
Policy Contract
By l.. II. Goldberg

Immediute notice in the event Of ac-
cident is required by the company,
together with full particulars, if you
desire good service and prompt atten-
ton to your claim. BY such notice is
meant as soon as it is reasonably pos
.ible following an accident, and the
term "full particulars" means the
time, place and cause Of the accident,
cerned, either as injured parties, own
ers Of damaged property or as Witnesses,
and if possible the apparent result of
che accident. The more details given
the more complete and satisfactory the
service to be rendered by the insurance
company will be.
When the company receives a report
Of an accident it Immediately refers
to the office copy of the policy to see
what elements Of coverage are provided
in the contract and then proceeds to
have an investigation made by it's rep
resentatives.
There are four elements in complete
coverage as written by insurance COM
panies to-day:
First-Fire and theft covering, as the
namc implies.
Second-Liability meaning the cover
age for injury to persons.
Third-Collision, meaning damage to
the insured car or it's equipment.
Fourth-Propcrty damage and loss
Of use, which refers to damage to the
property Of others.
After investigating an accident, il
there appears any legal liability upon
the part Of the assured, or if a claim
is made by the injured person, or by
the person whose property has been
damaged if the property damage in
dorsemcnt is attached to the policy
the company undertakes to adjust and
settle the claim, or if unable to settle
the claim with the claimant the COM
pany is obligated under its policy to
defend the assured at it's own expense
and by it's own attorney, and If YER
dict and JUDGMENT are rendered against
the assured on account of the accident
the company is obligated to pay up to
the limits insured in it's policy
If the accident is Of such character
that the assured desires to make q
collision claim he must Immediately
notify the company and afford an op.
portunity to examine the car to de-
termine the nature and extent Of the
| damage.
The company through it's claim au-
respecting the repair of the damage
to the car. If the circumstances in
dictate that it is covered by the COL
lision Endorsement an adjustment of
che claim CT the assured for damage
to his car will be made.
1t may be noted that in obtaining
automobile coverage insurance COM
panies as rule will not issue a policy
for coverage of property damage and
collision. or either form, unless it is
combined with fire and theft or liza
| biity.

Dealers Say buy Noso
Or Pay More Later On

Not few distributors Of motor
cars here are Of the opinion that
"present prices cannot possibly
come down" but, on the contrary,
are very likely to go up" One Of
these distributors says:
persons who are holding off the
purchase Of car in the fond hope
that prices will take a downward
trend are deluding themselves and
losing tho enjoyment Of having and
running q new motor car. They
also face the likelihood of having
to pay a higher price for a car
when they decide not to put off its
purchase any longer.
Material and labor always have
been the two determining factors
in arriving at fair automobile
prices. 1t is estimated that of the
cost of an automobile 60 per cent
OF it g<.s to labor, and there is
small likelihood Of labor consent
ing to reduced wages.
"The fact that prices of clothing
and other commodities have de-
clined greatly is no criterion by
which to judge automobile prices, as
automobiles have never risen in
price proportionate with these COM
modities."

Truck Makes 10000 Miles
On l5.CAnf IJnkeen Cost

A distance Of 10000 miles for period
of twelve months, with an upkeep of
but 15 cents, was the record recently
made by two-ton pneumatic tired
truck. The expense Of Is cents was for
repairing a broken fan belt.
The records show that the total cost
for this two-ton truck was but 80 cents
and the cost per ton-mile 40 cents. A
gallon of gasoline, with capacity loads
all the time, lasted an average Of ten
miles.

PAPER SHORTAGE MAY REVIVE

The pinch of the paper shortage has

The announcement, no doubt, will

RENTAL DECISIONS
TO Be ANNOUNCED

Recommendations to

The District rent commission will
assume an aspect of renewed activity
this week, following cessation last
Wednesday of public hearings and
subsequent absence from the city of
! two of the commissioners, Chairman
James F. oyster and Mrs. Clara Sears
Taylor.
Both absentees are expected to be

icopferring with the third commits

nection with scores of disputes which
were aired at hearings during the
past two or three weeks. A number
| the signatures of the commissioners
will probably be handed down tomor-
row.
The three members of the rent board
will begin technical" vacation of
one month on Friday. During this
period no public hearings are sched-
uled, but it Is not improbable that
one or two hearings may be called in
urgent cases. The commissioners. it
| is understood, will remain in Wash
lington in order to keep in touch with
rental affairs.
| Members of the local rent board are
watching closely the activities of rent
| bodies in other cities. One member

ping service in order to review daily

reports Of the press. Every new

TUITION OF Blind
HIT BY HIGH COST
Increase Reported in Expense
of Maintaining Children
at Institutions.

Maintenance of the thirty District
public school blind children who
are quartered at various institutions
in the north and south is going to
cut a deep figure in the public school
appropriation the coming year.
Walter B. Patterson, director of
special schools and acting superin--
tendent, was the recipient yesterday OF
communications from officials of the
various institutions stating that the
present high cost of living will force
them to increase the per capita rate
for the maintenance of the District
blind children they are caring for.
Annual Charge Per Pupil.
An average of about $3.50 a year
is being paid out Of the school ap-
preparation bill to maintain each of
the thirty children at the institutions.
The increase asked for by the insti-
buttons will add from s125 to $3.50
a year to the expenses for the main
tenance of each of the children.
| The District appropriation bill for
the ensuing year provided $500 for
the maintenance of the blind school
hildren.
Recommendations to grant the in
situations the increases asked for Will
be made to the board of education at
Its meeting September 1 by Mr.. Pat
terson. If the board approves of the
granting of the increases, it is likely
that Congress will be asked for a
deficiency appropriation to meet the
expenses for caring for these blind
children.
Where Children Are Located.
Twenty-Five of the Districts blind
school children are attending the
Maryland Institute for the Blind at
Overlea. Md. One is at an institution
at Overlook, Pa, and another at the
International Sunshine Society at
Summit, N. J. The remaining pupils
are at an institution in Virginia.

up the sponge, with aim well calcu-
lated to see it rebound from the wall
at the front of the schoolroom upon
the unsuspecting pedagogue beneath.
Sponges and states are inseparable
companions. In addition, taking the
urchin's point of view, the slate does
not tell tales. A tender love missiye
or a caricature of teacher" is in
stantly transferable to the sleeve with
but one nonchalant sweep of the arm.
Just lrow much chance there is for
resumption of these tactics of older
and perhaps better days none of the
public school authorities processes to
state. The simple facts are that pa
per manufacturers are unwilling to
place bids for ruled stationery be-
cause of the paper shortage
Only two responded to a call for
bids on ordinary pencil scratch pads.
The present supply of glazed or COM
position paper is not expected to hold
out longer than February at the lat
est. After that, unless the situation
changes materially, courses in PEN
manship may have to be eliminated
from the curriculum.
The problem will be discussed by
officials at an early opportunity, it
is understood. Meanwhile $4,000
children are in breathless suspense.

FOREIGN SITUATION PUTS

Plans for disposition Of the gov
ernment-owned shipyard at Hog
Island, Philadelphia, are, receiving
consideration, it was said yesterday
at the Shipping Board, but no de-
cision is expected until the new board
has been named by the President.
1t is suggested by officials in touch
with foreign questions which the
country is facing that it might not
be good policy for the government at
this time to sell shipyard capable
of large output of tonnage for over
seas carrying.
