MOTOR TRUCK HAS BRIDGED GAP FOR
 LARGE FACTORIES

Business paralysis due to the gen eral freight tieup has put all manufac- turers on their mettle to find ways and means of getting supplies of raw mate rial sufficient to keep their plants in operation. Especially has this been true of the motor truck industry in the middle west.
 A case in point is found in the means employed by Master Trucks, Inc, Chi cago. to insure normal production of trucks. Master trucks are plying the country roads in all directions from the Windy City and are kept con- stantly operating between the factory and Indianapolis, Kalamazoo, Detroit, Cleveland, Syracuse, N. Y, and various other sources of supply.
 Motor trucks have been championed as masters of highway transport with much stress on their efficiency for short haul work says w. R. Coates of the Coats -Garby Motor Truck com pany, "but here is an instance of their bridging the gap in our railroad trans portation system for long hauls as well. Enterprising motor truck manufacture CTS are now taking their own medicine. For several years the truck makers have been telling the public that motor trucks represent the last word in in- expensive. efficient and trustworthy transportation. By some this has been looked upon largely as propaganda to promote sales, rather than the state ment of a principle that was proven.
 ''The present emergency has given opportunity for real genuine proof of the effectiveness of the truck for long haul work. When the frieght strike appeared to be a long drawn out affair we were forced into operating our own transportation system. over and over again the truck has shown its efficien- cy for relatively short distances. say up to 100, or possibly 209 miles. Our experience in sending fleets of trucks out from 200 to 500 miles or more shows that this form of transportation is also thoroughly practical.
 ''Fhe past month has been bad for highway travel. Rains have made the roads mere quagmires in places where even the horse and wagon cannot get through. We are bringing in, from re- mote points, loads considerably heavier than the rated capacity of the trucks and not one of the trucks has had to be pulled out so far.
 .'The cost of bringing our supplies into Chicago by truck is not much if any more than getting them by rail, and furthermore, we are assured of di- rect and rapid delivery. The first few days we operated our trucks for this factory empty. As soon as shippers learned of it we were besieged with requests to take load away from Chi cago as well. This is but another H. lustration of the return load idea which has found favor throughout the coun- try, except in this instance it works with a slight reverse English, although with surprisingly profitable results to all concerned"

 The Cil Gauge
 The oil pressure gauge furnishes rather accurate means of determining the condition of the engine bearings. As the hearings wear the oil circulates more freely and the pressure naturally drops. If the oil gague consistently shows low pressure it is reasonable to assume engine bearing wear, provided the regulator is all right.

 Slack the Chains
 In fitting anti-slzid chains they must never be put on so tight that hey can- not creep. Unless the chain can creep the wear will be centralized at the fixed points, where the cross chains lie; the idea is to have the wear dis tributed all over the tread.

 Emergency Ball Check
 It often happens that the steel ball in the check valve of the force feed pump breaks or becomes so pitted that the pump does not deliver the correct amount of oil. Tn these circumstances piece of hard lead hammered into the shape of the ball will serve very well as a temporary repair The lead is somewhat plastic, so that it conforms to the shape of the seat of the valve. Naturally this emergency ball will only be used until a new steel ball can be secured.

 Attaching Frame Bolts
 It is sometimes rather difficult to get bolts that run through the frame chan nels back in place after they have been removed. Where these bolts are drilled to take a cotter pin the simplest way to replace them is to run a piece of wire through the frame hole and then out through the hole in the bolt. The bolt may then be drawn through the hole.
 Protecting Baskets
 When a gasket has been in place for some time the material often adheres so firmly to it's base that removal is practically impossible without tearing the gasket. The way 10 obviate this trouble is to give the gasket generous coating of graphite, which prevents

Albert Schmid, Noted
Electrical Expert, Dead

Albert Schmid, electrician and me-
chanical engineer. for many years as
sociated with the Westinghouse in
terests, died at the St. Hubert Hotel,
yesterday after an illness Of several
months.
Mr. Schmid was born in Switzerland
in 1858 and came to the United States
in 1882 at the instance Of the late
George Westinghouse and was asso-
ciated with the Westinghouse interests
until his death.
He early became a naturalized citl-
zen Of the United States.
When the Westinghouse Electric
Company was organized in 1885 Mr.,
schmid was made its chief engineer,
and later, through several promotions,
became general superintendent. His
skill in designing electrical apparatus
contributed largely to the early sue
cess of the alternating current electric
system ard to railway apparatus.
When the European Westinghouse
electric companies were organized
Mr.. Westinghouse designated Mr..
Schmid for important work in connec-
tion Herewith, and thereafter he con-
tinued to occupy important executive
positions in number of the European
Westinghouse companies. This led to
his residing in France for many years.

''War Edema'' Fathomed
Disease Produced in Rats,
Which Later Are Cured

CINCINNATI, Dec. 31--In the ap-
proved scientific fashion which gave no
hint Of the greg. Importance of her
discovery, Mrs. A. c. Ivy, who before
her recent marriage was Emma Koh-
man, of the University of Chicago, told
members Of the Federation of Ameri-
can Societies for Experimental Biology
here to-day how she came to discover
the cause OF war edema."
This disease, also called "war dropsy"
and "hunger edema." caused illness
and death Of many thousands in Rus
sia, Germany, Poland and France It
was thought to be due to lack of favs
in the diet. Experiments originally
planned fer another purpose revealed
to the woman scientist that this form
of edema was due to lack of protein.
The results were the more important
in that scientists had generally be-
lieved that proteids tended to increase
rather than to cure edema. Under
direction of the woman cxperimenter
edema was produced in rats deprived Of
proteins and cured by supplying them
with this food principle.
