LADY MARLBOROUGH
SUES NOBLE SPOUSE
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased wirel

r.
LONDON, March 19-The Duchess
the restitution of conjugal rights.
The petition of the duchess, which is
the usual preliminary to divorce in
England, apparently has caused no sur
prise in London. The Marlborough
have BEEN separated for several years,
the duke spending most of his time at
Blenheim castle and the duchess liy-
ing in London. The two sons of the
couple have divided their time between
mother and father.
The magnificent London house of the
duchess, which her father. William K.
Vanderbilt, Sr.. presented to her, was
not occupied during the war, the
duchess preferring a more simple resi-
dence- The house recently was
rented for use as offices of the league
of nations.
The Duchess OF Marlborough was
Consuelo Vanderbilt of New York.
She married the Duke of Marlborough
in New York in 1895. The couple have
two children, Lord John, Marquis of
Blanford, who is heir to the title of
Duke of Marlborough, and Lord Ivor.
The Marquis of Blanford was married
February II to the Honorable Mary Ca
dogan, niece of the Earl of Cadogan.
The king and queen of Great Britain
Princess Mary, Dowager Queen Alex
andra and other members of the royal
household attended the marriage.
The hearing is fixed for next Mon
day.

No.
This is for you, Mr.. Business Man
ust a few pertinent questions.
In this era of high costs and the
train of Inconvenience, annoyances
and worries which follow in their wake
what are you doing to reduce necessary
expenses? Can you make reductions
and still maintain the high class of
service which your patrons demand
and which you like to render? II you
are making reductions then-are they
made where they will count for the
most without impairing the efficiency
of either yourself, your employees or
Jour sales methods?
Unfortunately too many men in
business, when they find themselves
confronted wit hthe need of Making
ting down of forces. They "slow down
rather than speed up" Instead of in
creasing sales they put themselves in
position to do less business than. ever.
Impaired service followed by loss of
customers results. From the frying
pan they have umped into the fire.
There is a better way of solving
present cay business problems. In the
series of short articles which will APP
pear in this column from time to time
an endeavor will be made to point it
out.
Cutting down the force means that
men and women will be thrown out of
work. That is bound to have bad CT
feet not only on the community but
upon the business man who resorts to
that method of curtailing expenses.
Speed up is a far better motto.
Rather than reduce the number of
sales people or office employees. make
them more efficient. Show them short
cuts. Teach them modern methods.
Provide them with time and labor
saving equipment and appliances. In
other words give them the means
which will enable them to PRODUCE
more and be more valuable not only to
you but to themselves.
Don't forget that it is ust as incum-
bent upon the business man to give
his employees the means Of production
as it is for the employee to produce.
And in the final analysis GREATER
PRODUCTION will solve the problems
with which the bushes man of today
is confronted.

TRAILER TRIPLES
TRUCKS CAPACITY

Use of trailers in rural hauling by
moeUr truck is not SO common as it
shouIc be, according to the Firestone
Ship-by- Truck bureau. which believes
that the trailer would become popular
if the saving in money and time it
makes possible were better under
stood.
A truck can carry a load up to its
capacity and at the same time pull a
load twice this capacity in frailers, the
bureau points out. 1t also calls atten-
ton to the fact that more popular use
of the trailer would result in less
money being spent in repairing and
rebuilding hard surfaced roads
1.-The fact that a truck operator can
triple his load by the use of trailers
was ascertained not long ago by one
of our largest lumber companies after
careful experimentation and tests.
They found that a l Y ton truck, car
rying its own 5000 pounds, could haul
5000 pounCS more on trailer: that a
2-ton truck, carrying its own 1000
pounds. could haul 5000 pounds addi
tional on a trailer; and that a 5-ton
truck, carrying its own 10000 pounds,
could haul an additional 10000 pounds
on trailers.
1.-The use of the trailer represents a
considerable saving in another way. 1t
means a tightening of the strain upon
the surface of roads This is no small
thing these Gays, when we not only are
dSlIdlilS lOT the COISITuCLiOn Oh SOOQ
roads but also are urging the conser-
walton of those already constructed.
1.-The trailer can save highways in at
least two ways. In the. first place, it is
not so hard on road surfaces because it
weighs less than a truck. In the sec
ond place it is not hard on road sur
faces because having no driving wheels
it does not exert any traction effect on
the surface.
"A 5-ton truck weighs approximately
10000 pounds. A 5-ton trailer weighs
only 1000 to 1000 pounds. The differ
ence, of course, is due to the fact that
the trailer has neither engine nor driv-
ing mechanism.
Since the trailer is not self-pro-
PEELED, its wheels make no tractive eff
fort on the roads. As compared to the
suction necessarily developed by the
driving wheel of the truck. the wheel
of the trailer produces only rolling
effect. 1t merely presses down. 1t does
not loosen the surface. The fact that
rubber tires on trailers yield from two
to three times the mileage of equal
sized tires on trucks is a striking proof
of this rather obvious point.
Mr.. George H. Reuben said that his
bureau, which offers its services to
shippers and truck operators without
charge in promoting all phases of the
ship by truck movement, is particular
ly DESTROYS at this time of hearing of
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1920-03-21

any locality in which products of the
truck garden and farm are in danger
of being wasted as result of the lack
of transportation.
Those who know Of such situa-
TONS, said Mr. Reuben. will aid in
promoting the interests not only of the
community directly affected but also of
the country generally by promptly get
ting in touch with me.
Our central bureau at Akron is as
scmbling such data from all over the
country. with the intention of prepar-
ing the way for the ADVENT of the mo-
tor truck in such communities"
