Manfred LAMA, an Ex-
Service Man.

The Meta Master Six, the latest
light six 20 come on the Washington
automobile market is being intro
duced by Manfred LAMA, trading as
the LAMA Motors Company. Mr., Lam

and grandson OF the late Surg. Gen.

returned from motor transport work
abroad, serving as lieutenant colonel.
He is the author OF the book, "Out inc
OF Army Automobile Instruction"
which was adopted as the text book
by the Seventy eighth division.
Mr.. LAMA says he selected the Metz
Master Six from a number OF cars
open TO distributors because he be-
lieved IL the car he would like most
to represent, and that he will prove
tc the public that 1t is what the
makers claim, "America's most COM
plete car" Mr.. LAMA says his car is
built like the watch which bears the
name OF the town in which the Metz
Master Six was built. Waltham. Mass.
A school OF instruction and bureau
or information will be conducted for
auto buyers in general to fill a long
felt-want OF the motoring public. Mr..

BELGIUM IS PREPARING
FOR AFTER WAR TOURS

For those American car owners
who are anxious to tour the Euro
pean battlefields there is promise in
the message sent to this country by
Francis Miltoun Mansfield, foreign
representative of the American Auto.
mobile Association:
"Since Belgium has come again into
her own" writes Mr.. Mansfield in the
current issue of American Motorist.
much work has been done on the
roads, sometimes by the government
road builders, sometimes by contract
or time work by private contractors.
American contractors even entered
into the new scheme of things. In
the first five months more than eleven
million francs had been expended on
the most pressing repairs.
There is little doubt that tourist
traffic in Belgium. which indeed has
already begun, will find that for the
season of 1920 communications will
be much as they were before the war.
though il is manifest that the sham
hles of desecrauon will not disappear
from the foreground and background
for years.
Motorists going abroad will also
find much satisfaction In knowing
that the 4. A. y. is reSuming it's for

PREDICTS TRUCKS
FOR STREET CARS
Distributor Believes TrolleyS
Soon Will Be But Historic
Memory.

cit is only a question Of time" says
Mr. Pardoe, OF the General Auto TRUSS
Company, local distributor OF made
i'm Chicago Master trucks, when mo-
tor trucks will largely. IL not alto
gether, replace street cars for IN
transportation of passengers. Iherr
are more reasons than one why ] be-
lieve we shall see this change In
very few years.
"Tirst. the pneumatic tire for mo-
tor trucks is fast supplanting the
: solid tire, and as a result the use
! fulness OF the motor truck is being
broadened II has been proven con
clusively that the motor truck Is the
equal or the railroad for short maui
freight and express.
Time was when the motor truck
was an ally of the railroads and lent
assistance TO a badsy crippled system
OF transportation when the eNlRcn =
cies OF war made necessary add
| tional means for rapid transportation
and handling OF freight. Since that
factor which gave the motor truck
it's standing as a common carrier 0f
freight and express no longer EXISTS,
the motor truck has changed from an
ally of the railroad TO competitor
and Is proving itself equally as CT
ficient in the latter role.
Can Haul Passengers
with the coming OF pneumatic
tires trucks can haul passengers with
az much success as they have been
and are hauling freight. That they
can handle passengers easily Is beir
demonstrated over and over again
every day Many cities are operating
regular motor bus lines.
Nor is il because OF the coming or
the pneumatic tire alone that i pre-
dict the trick will be turned. street
car fares are undergoing a complct'
revision. The nickel no longer buys
a ride in hardly any city you can
name. The public is fighting for bsf-
ter accommodations and lower fares
with the result that some OF the
street car lines seem likely to lose
their franchises. What is to take
the place of the street car then if
not the motor truck?
Replace street Cnr~
~I believe another decade will see
motor trucks taking the. place or
street cars to a very large extent In
many OF the larger cities. Perhaps
this will not be true OF the metropol-
itan cities that form the first FIVE or
ten cities Of the United States, but
smaller municipalities will realize the
benefits to come through motor truck
transportation OF people just as they
have in transportation OF all freight
and express commodities.
with this change probably Will
come certain developments in trucks
themselves that will make them even
more adaptable than at the present
time. However. present day trucks
are finding wide use for passenger
service Much evidence Is to be found
that substantiates the foregoing
statement There arc many masters
doing daily duty as regularly ap-
pointed passenger buses in many parts
of the country.
Perhaps when tho motor truck
forces the street carr to bow and
acknowledge superiority, the strap
hanger may get a little relief. Who
knows?~

And automobile racing in those

The "Ford Educational Weekly" a
film put out by the Ford Motor Com

Asia, South America, Africa. Australia
and many other islands.
The Ford pictures are viewed by
more than 10000. 600 people in motion

are also in demand outside of the the
ater. Churches, colleges. the Y. M.

even many of the country's largest
penal institutions find Ford films par
ticularly valuable because of their
high moral and educational value.
Many reels OF Ford film showing
how certain special war materials

In MOTOR LEGISLATION
The Golden Gate State Enacts Up-to-
date Laws for
Autoists.

In that Land of flowers" laws are
made to be obeyed. and the acts OF

drugs shall be sentenced TO not less
than six months nor more than one
year in Jail and pay not less than 800

Against Joy RIdinx.
Another provision OF the California
law provides that joy-riders who
merely borrow" machines. shall
serve not less than one year nor more
than hve years In the state peniten-
tiary.
Another provision will undoubtedly
be difficult OF enforcement until pub
lie sentiment is educated up to the
point that this provision must be re-
ligiously complied with, and that is
the section which provides for the
prosecution of "jay-walkers" - per
sons who viii insist on crossing
streets between blocks.
In that State the speed limit is
thirty-five miles per hour in the
daytime on an unobstructed highway
