Trucks Being Made Daily
Associated Press

NEW YORK, April OFF Captain
Nicholas Joseph Cagnot the French
man who in 1869 invented the first
self-propelled road vehicle, could visit
the United States today, he would be
astonished, perhaps, to find the horse
government on the eve of spending
s633 100000 for good roads and fact
ories turning out automibile trucks
at the rate of about 1000 day.
Motor truck traffic between indus
trial centres in Connecticut and New
York City, Boston and Providence has
reached such great proportions that
State highway commissioners are urg
ing shippers to restrict the maximum
load on trucks to $4,000 pounds. Ac-
cording to the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce utilization of
the motor truck is enabling the rail-
roads to "catch up" with traffic needs
which mounted so enormously during
the war.
Fifteen trucks with POI demount-
ible bodies in Cincinnati, according to
F. w. Feen, secretary of the Cham
ber, "free for long freight hauls sc,
900 railroad cars, replace 115 teams
of horses and mules and move more
than 1000 tons Of freight day.
Indianapolis, he says, is the largest
livestock motor trucking centre in the
world. Daily receipts in 1919, he said,
were $500 or 1000 more than the to-
tai carried by both steam and elec-
trio railroads.

]. S. LOVEURGES
PEOPLE TO SAVE
Keynote OF His Address At ]. w.
Quinn Drug Co., Is To Halt
Needless Extravaganza.

Preparing To Serve Others" was
the subject of the address, capably de-
livered by Mr.. j. S. Love yesterday
afternoon at the Quinn Drug Co., at
the series of talks which have been
arranged by Mr. J. w. Quinn for the
week.
'The president of the j. w. Quinn
Drug Co., in selecting the subjects the
different business men are to speak
on this week, shows a wise trend of
mind" said Mr.. Love in opening his
address. "The president of this firm
is imbued with the idea of prepara-
ton. The truth is very few of US
think about the future, we are salts
fled with the present, if it is going
well. No safe and sane business man
will undertake any business enterprise
unless he has analyzed it and has
been able to see through it to the end.
No one can do this unless he is pre-
pared, first with a good literary edu-
cation, which is the foundation Of
business, and then followed with a
good business education.
''At this time of great opportunity,
wonder if our people are losing
sight of the most essential thing-the
opportunity to serve others. This op-
portunity l take, it can be best used,
to lay aside something for the newt
able rainy day. We are not thinking
about the future seriously, we are liv-
ing in today, letting tomorrow take
care of itself. This is so dangerous
that not only the management of this
firm has planned for these talks by
these business men, hoping for re-
suits, but the management of every
firm in town should take similar steps
to have its friends and employees
think what road they are travelling
and where it is leading to and to use
every power possible to call a halt and
right about face
''Permit this suggestion-no person
of an average income should neglect
to invest a portion of his or her earn
ings in stock, which can be bought on
the installment plan at $500 per
month, on each 800 subscribed for
The purchase of stock teaches les
son to save, awakens pride and self
confidence, making better citizen,
and puts one on the road to prosperity
that has been travelled by some of
our most prominent millionaires. The
person who puts money in stock or real
estate instead of squandering every
dollar of that Enthusiastically Ameri-
can delight, known as having a good
time which is the real essence of ex-
travagance is laying the foundation for
success and happy old age"

ly instructive and interesting throug-
hout.

Jr., will talk upon the subject, "What

Of it lapsed when the men were de-
nobilized, enough insurance has been
converted into permanent form to
make the government the greatest life
insurance company in America.
The new policies will provide for six
forms of permanent insurance, and
three options as to how the benefits
shall be paid in case of the death of
the insured The six forms are stra-
light insurance, 20 payment life, 80
payment life, 20 year endowment, 80
year endowment, and an endowment
maturing when the insured reaches
the age of 81 years.
At the option of the insured the
benefits will be paid in a lump sum
to the beneficiary, they will be paid
IN installments covering a period of
not less than three years, or they will
be paid throughout the lifetime of the
beneficiary. Or should the beneficiary
become totally and permanently dis
abled the policy will mature at once.
1t is not the aim of the government
to give the former service men in
surance gratis, but rather to provide
them with insurance at cost, making
no charge for the service rendered
through the bureau of war risk insur-
ance. Interest is paid on the premi-
ums at the rate of 1-2 per cent, and
if the government is able to make the
accumulated premiums earn more than
that rate, the excess will be distribu-
ted to the policy holders in the form
Of dividends.
Demobilization of the army and re-
organization of the bureau has result
ed in a big reduction Of the clerical
force required to handle government
insurance. When R. G. Cholmeley-
Jones, a former lieutenant colonel ov-
erseas, took charge of the bureau last
summer there were $4,000 employees
there, and the number is now about
5000.
If Congress and the department Of
ficials were surprised at the number
that took out government insurance,
they probably were disappointed at
the number that failed to continue
their policies in force after leaving
the service, only about 25 percent hav-
ing retained their insurance one year
after rehabilitation began. Fer that
reason liberal terms for reinstatement
of lapsed policies were arranged and
very rapidly. The latest ruling of Sec
retary Houston of the Treasury De-
partment is that any war risk insur-
ance policy, no matter how long it
has lapsed, may be reinstated before
July /, next, on the payment of but
two monthly premiums.

HARD CIDER MAY
BECLASSED AS
Intoxicating Beverage Under The
Kentucky Statewide Dry Amend
ment, Adopted Last Fall
Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 22-Far-
mers in Kentucky who have been ac-
customed to quenching their thirst
with hard cider may be classed as
"moonshiners" under the Mcclellan
Law which goes into effect on July 1.
Under the statewide dry amendment,
adopted by the people last Fall, any
person having a beverage containing
more than one-half of one percent al
cohol, including cider or homemade
wine, on their premises, may be hail
ed into court to show whether they
manufactured it without permit.
Kentucky in thus assuming ''con-
current jurisdiction" with the govern
ment of the United States in enforc-
ing prohibition puts more teeth into
the Volstead Enforcement Act and
makes every peace officer in the state
responsible for keeping the common
wealth "bone dry"
Thirty four other states and the
District of Columbia have state law
enforcement measures as follows:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Hi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, and Wy
oming. Ohio has not adopted a COM
plete enforcement code, three codes
having been passed by the legisla-
turn an dheld up by the popular refe-
rendum.
Eleven states which so far have not
passed law enforcement codes are:
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Conneti-
cut, Vermont, New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Louisiana,
and Wisconsin. Three of the IL,
Rhode Island, New Jersey and Wiscon-
sin. have adopted beer bills. The Wis
consin legislature, in enacting a two
and one-half percent law provided
that if the United States Supreme
Court sustains the Volstead Act, the
statute shall not go into effect. Rhode
Island will license places selling bev-
erages containing not more than four
per cent of alcohol by weight on the
ground that it is non-intoxicating.
New Jersey in legalizing the manu-
facture, sale and transportation OF
three and one-half percent beer awaits
the formal declaration of peace and
the end of war prohibition.
Maryland wet legislators proposed
three and one-half percent beer bill
which passed by the House but de-
feated in the Senate. A three and
one-half percent bill is now pending
in the Massachusetts, and New York
legislatures. Delaware is considering
an amendment to the state prohibi-
tion code providing for the sale OF
liquor for medicinal purposes" in
harmony with the federal code. The
drys oppose it on the ground that it
nullifies much of the state enforce
ment law.
