Miss Josephine Fogg returned from
visit with her sister. Ruth Fogg. In
Auburn last week.
A dense smoke In the kitchen OF the
Merriam farmhouse caused an alarm
OF fire to be sent out by the operator
at the telephone Office, one day last
week. The men who responded to the
call found difficulty in locating the
fire. The smoke was suffocating in
the house, but although there was fire
in the stove the drafts were closed
and the chimney was cool. Finally
after searching the chambers and cell
Tar. the fire was located In coat and
other articles of wearing apparel be-
hind the door of the kitchen where
the floor was badly burned and the
baseboard and door scorched. The
origin of the fire was a mystery, az
no pipe was in the pockets Of the
coat. Unless II caught from matches.
Mr.. Merriam was working In his wood
lot and only his invalid daughter was
at the house. 1t was she who snielIed
smoke and gave the alarm of fire.
Little damage was done.

Urge Excess Labor
On Highways, Says
Association Head

Davlo Jameson, president Of the
american Automobile Association, in a
statement made public yesterday FROM
tne washington headquarters of the
association. urges the utilization of anv
iapor excess due to curtailment in vari.
GUS kinds of industries in the buildiny
o! highways possessing an Interstate
significance. "The building of roads Ia
one thing which will unouest}onabiv
improve economic conditions through
out the country" he says, "and we are
all well aware that public sentiment is
overwhelmingly in favor of maximum
ACTIVITIES in this regard
Inc American Autom obile Associa-
11 tlon mas been prominently identified
with agitation in behalf of road better
ment and the linking up of state and
hational highways. 1t is as the as
sociation's representative that Mr.
Jameson in his statement Yesterday
suggests the use of supernumerary
workers for the building of highways.
1T Will be remembered" he savs
that when Congress was approached
Two years or so ago for 5000 600 900 ad
dltional under the provisions of the
Federal aid road act it was set forth
lhat TINS money, which called for an
equal amount from the several states
would serve to carry on road building
and absorb the surplus labor which i
was anticipated, would result from tbe
abrupt conclusion Of the big STRUGGLE
Besides this total of $400, 100000 from
the national Treasury and the several
states, the sum of $9,OO0,oOO was added
TO the 100000 previously appropri-
ated lot the construction Of roads In
Federal forest reserves.
But the period of unemplovment 6;d
not arrive, besides which there was
difticulty in obtaining materials and
their shipment, and the abnormal prices
cut down very substantially the new
road mileage. Present indications
however, are that the supply of labor in
the near future may considerahlv av-
ceed the demand, and hence necouTso
to important public improvements
would be direct means of stabilizing
'aoor conditions. Surely there can be
no greater benefit conferred upon the
ent,re country than by the building of
highways which will materially reduce
the cost of transportation and facili-
tate the exchange of farm and mann
tactured products between the country
districts and the centers of popula-
ton"
Congress, Mr.. Jameson thinks, could
not act more wisely than to pass at this
short session the Townsend bill, calling
for the creation Of a Federal commits
SION to lay out great system of inter.
state highways and arrange with the
several states for the prosecution of
the national undertaking at the very
earliest moment.

Bigger Production
OF Motor Trucks
Marks 1920 Season

Despite depressed business cond;-
tlons, the motor truck industry in 1920
not only equaled the 1919 production
OF motor trucks but exceeded it by
43,Oo0 vehicles, giving total 1920 pro-
duction Of 34S,000 trucks.
Perhaps the greatest single factor
IN making the 1920 production of trucks
greater. than that of 1919 was the
tremendous increase in the manufac-
ture of small speed trucks of three.
quarter to one ton capacity, In pre-
vious years trucks of one-ton capacitv
and under ene4ally did not exceed so
per cent of the total production, but
IN l920 almost 75 per cent of ali tbe
trucks made were of one-ton capacitv
and under. ''
~, According to an analysis made bv
Inc Commercial Vehicle in it's review
issue OF January /, 1921, the average
prices of all different sizes of truck
nave increased only Sk per cent up to
January !, 1921, as compared with Jan
ury /, 1920. Taking the different sizes
OF trucks separately, those of less than
one-half ton capacity have increased
most in price. Trucks Of less than one
half ton capacity have jumped 25 per
cent in price, three-quarter tonners
have Increased 10 per cent, one-tonners
lots per cent and one-and-a-haIf tom
ners 1873 per cent. Trucks Of from
two tons capacity up have increased
individually anywhere from 1-10th of
per cent to 7.S per cent, these low in
dlvidual price increases helping TO
bring down the total average price to
the figure of s1s per cent, as given
above.
According to the same authority.
trucks of one and half tons capacity
form the most popular model, no less
than one hundred models, or 20 per
cent OF the total number OF SGT trucks
listed ON the 1921 market, being of one
and half tons capacity. The next
most popular model is the two-and-a
half tonner. with ninety models, fol-
owed by the three-and-a half tonner,

Vast Amount of
Time Has Been
Added by Auto
More Things, Therefore, Can
Be Accomplished To-day
Than Before Cars We're
i'm Such General Use

"The unlimited power Of the auto
mobile, its fiexibility when traversing
crowded streets, enables users to cover
three blocks in the same time it used
to take them to cover one," says Sid
ney B. Bowman. "This economy of time
has in great many instances made pos
sible men having multitude of inter-
ests, due to doubling the number of
minutes in their working hours.
This is what the automobile has
done for business men and women, and
it has been natural result that the
business world would expand because
of it,. l lay q great deal of the rapid
growth of the country the last five
years to the fact that people have been
able, through the automobile, to ac-
complish more in shorter period Of
time, as the growth of any concern or
city depends upon the activities of it's
employees or population.
I'm the home Or social world, the
operation of the automobile has been
reduced to such simplicity that il is
now regarded as a safe vehicle for
women to drive. This Is evidenced bv
the multiplicity of women and girls.
as well as elderly people. sitting be-
hind the driving wheel of the family
car. While heretofore the wife has
had to do her shopping either on foot
or trust to the uncertainties of public
conveyances, to-day she can accomplish
nearly twice as much and traverse
twice the distance in her automobile
"And just as the automobile has be-
come utility and a necessity to the
business and social world, so it has ac-
complished wonders in agricultural and
suburban life and work. The farmer
can now get to town in about one
third of the time it took his brother
of yesterday. He is able to get his
produce to market in greater state
of freshness; he is able to get about
his land in greater comfort; he is able
to give his family enpoyable trips,
thereby breaking up the humdrum life
on the farm He now keeps abreast
OF the interests Of the city, state and
nation, because a trip to town is now
matter of minutes instead Of hours.
"The suburbanite no longer has to
worry about catching the 5:15 train.
His automobile is guaranty Of
reaching Office or home safely and in
quick time"

Omnibus Coverage''
I'm Automobile Policies
Applies Very Generally in
Household Use of Motor
Cars and n, Business

Under an automobile liability policy
omnibus coverage" applies under the
private passenger and commercial car
classitications, but not to public, livery
or garage risks. Omnibus coverage''
means that the company in the event
of an accident, caused by a private OF
commercial car described in the con-
tract, protects the assured or any per-
son operating the car with the owners

whether or not such person is named in
the policy.
Chauffeurs or domestic servants are
not considered members of the house
hold of the assured. The company in
the same respect protects any person,
firm or corporation legally responsible
for the operation of such car.
A liability policy does not apply to
injuries sustained by any person to
whom the assured may be liable under
the workmen's compensation law, or to
any employees of the assured Except
servants) not operating or
caring for the machine. The contract
does not cover when the automobile is
driven in race or competitive speed
test, or by person under the age
fixed by law, or in any event under
sixteen years.
The policy covers all accidents occur
ring during the policy period for the
limits set forth in the contract. In
the event that the company pays claims
for accidents, the amount paid is rot
deducted from the coverage. The policy
limits apply to each accident occurring
while the insurance is in force, as
there are no total limits to the con-
tract.
Inasmuch as recent court decisions
point to higher verdicts being rendered
for accident cases, it is suggested that
the assured carry limitations of $i0,-
300 and $4,000, instead .of the stand
ard $4,000 and $4,000 The increase in
rate is slight, being 20 per cent of the
original premium. This added protec-
tion affords peace Of mind, and is good
business forethought. L. Fl. G.

1870 Gain i'm Whole State

ALBANY, Feb 26.-New York State
to-day has a total of 6S2, 1894 motor vehi-
cles, gain of III ,232, or 10 per cent
for the year. This means that there is
card TO every fifteen of it's residents,
Official registration figures, announced
to-day by Secretary of State John J.
Lyons, show that the state still main
tains its supremacy in the number of
cars registered. From 1918 to 1919
the increase was 10000 cars.
Of the total registration in New
York State last year nearly third
of the cars are shown as being owned
and registered in New York Citv and
vlclnlty' total OF 215,7S2 coming from
New York, as compared to 17S,441 in
1919, an increase of 1884 or battar
than 5000 cars a month.
Viewing the years registration from
a percentage standpoint, the greatest
increase has been made in the com
mercial types, which jumped 20 per
cent, as they went from 97,346 to 125.-
394. From 1918 to 1919 the increase in
commercial cars in New York State
was 22,o37, Serving to show the ever
increasing demand for motor driven
cars adaptable to business needs.
NO less than 524,257 passenger cars
were registered in New York State Iast
year, New York City contributing 14o-
922 to this total. The increase in The,
state over the previous year amounted
TO n'oo4 cars. The growth in omnl-
buses last year was 1857 and traiIars

more than year ago, a SO per cent
increase. peA ee"'

70 1Io'oll, of which 131 1894 were IL
censed in New York CITY.
a comparison in the registration fip-
ures LOT the state as whole and New
ork City presents some interesting
features. For instance, in the increase
OF commercial cars, New York CITY
contributed 11,071 to the 28,O48. Out
OF the 26,529 omnibuses in the state
1913 are from New York and 1.011
OF the total of 3,154 trailers. Out Of
the o79 new dealers last year 2S3 came
from the greater city, while 1926 of
the 1881 more motorcycles register
ed last year are owned in New York
City.
The automobile bureau in the Secre.
tary of States office collected about
$9,oOO,O00 last year, and to this huge
sum New York City's contribution was
$3,696,61G.08
The following gives the comparative
registration, increase in cars and chauf
feurs, together with the percentage
