RELIABILITY RUN
ATTRACTS INTEREST
Practicability Of Truck Tests
Will BE Given Real
Trial.


WASHINGTON. April 11-ResuIts
Of the first national truck ~elia bility
run 10 be held in this country and
which IS 20 traverse $500 miles Of
middle west country during the %
days OF its trip. which IS 20 be IN
June, will be watched with interest
Ia every section Of the country.
There viii be a double purpose in
studying the official figures OF this
test. first. the practicability OF hold
Ing these runs and. secondly the
question OF pneumatic tire equipment
Tor comm ercial vehicles with carry
ing capacity up 10 three and a half
tons.
In the early days Of the passenger
Ear there were reliability runs from
the grade L. events which imposed
very severe penalties for work done
on the car enrOute and for cars
which did not finish in perfect con-
ditiOn, 20 the grade four contests,
which only had gasoline, oil, time
and repair work enrOute penalties.
Enables Correcting Faults.
These events were Of great benefit
20 the manufacture. They enabled
him TO correct faults In the con-
struction OF his car. as well as 10
determine how IL matched mp in
competition with competitive makes.
4 caravan Of automobiles passing
through a section Of the country did
much 90 impress the residents with
the stability Of the automobile as g
mode OF transportation. The ques-
ton OF good roads was also one that
was brought 20 the front by these
tests, for usually the routes selected
embraced roads of all sorts. kinds
and descriptions
Undoubtedly there will be many
valuable lessons from the truck run.
The technical examination before
the start and at the completion OF
the trip will come very near show
ing IL there Is anything in the way
of faulty construction in a truck.
The distance, 1900 miles, Will I'M
doubtedly preclude any one en-
trant from coming through with a
perfect road score. IL will be more
luck than anything else II some adj
iustnent Is not needed i'm this dis
lance especially since the rules pro-
hibit the prick punching of any bolt
threads or like tricks which would
he an advantage for the truck.
PneumatiCs Conceded.
are a conceded fact, but 20 date the
data on them has been such only
as has been obtainable from individ-
ual performance. There will be
varying road conditions and each
truck will have to travel under eN-
actly the same conditions as every
other truck. Some of the days runs
viii undoubtedly be laid out so that
the trucks viii have To- make fast
time IN order TO reach their controls
within the time limit
Brakes will be called into play
quite often and this will also have
its effect upon the rubber equipment
in all probability every tire manu-
facturer that IS building motor truck
equipment I'm pneumatics will en-
deavor 10 have at least one set OF
tires in the contest While in the
final adjudication no consideration
will be taken of the tires still un-

IRISH HOME RULE
BILL DENOUNCED
Erin Statesmen Make Sensa
tional Charges Against
British Government.

GLASGOW. April 1.-THE govern
ments home rule bill for Ireland
was denounced by Joseph Devlin as
a "humbug TO throw duJs in the eyes
of the people of America and else
where" in a speech ne delivered
here recently. Mr.. DevliG declared
that il was not bill for home rule
nor a plan 10 settle the Irish ques-
ton, but for the permanent division
Cf Ireland into two sections. The
best thing the government could do,
he said. was 10 drop the bill, resign
office and 'let the enlightened judy
ment of the British electorate give
Ireland what she wanted"
n. i. O'COnnor called the measure
IAN outrage and an INSULT and said
that d" a more impudent, arrogant,
insulting. lying proposal was never
made By any body OF men in the
world" He characterized the ac-
ton OF the government in suggesting
a repeal of the home rule act of
1914 as a more perifidious breach
Of treaty than the Germans breach
of treaty with Belgium"

The Horoscope
WEDNESDAY,, JAN. IS.

Under the planetary rule for this
day very conflicting and perplexing
situations are likely TO arise, calling
for the utmost discrimination and
good judgment in their handling
Things are likely to take a sudden
turn with an abrupt upheaval and a
breaking away from old stagnant
conditions and formidable obstacles
While the influence is a descriptive or
dislntegrating one. it is wholesome
in its nature. and may be accepted
as the precursor of substantial and
permanent progress. OF course. the
situation involves radical change or
removal, with possible journeys. and
while these may be attended with
troublesome aspects yet the pros
pect of future benefits should be a
sustaining force. Those in employ
ment should safeguard their posi-
tions. and all should beware of
treachery. intrigue and subtle attack.
Also keep a guard on tongue and
temper, as these jeopardize the
favorable prospects.
Those whose birthday it is should
keep quiet and self-contained, avoid
ing disputes and litigation, attending
TO business with discretion and
sobriety. A child born on this day
will be inclined to be rash, un-
governable and given to pleasure
and self-indulgence.
