California Truck OrUners Boost for
 Assembly Bill 945

SAN FRANCISCO, April S0-Motor truck owners, operators and shippers in California are rallying to the sup port and lining up solidly behind as- sembly bill 945, which has been in troduced at the present session of the legislature by Assemblyman Ira Lee. This unitel front is presented in order to be protected against multiplicity of taxing measures. This bin puts the basis for determining fees on registration of the vehicle upon both weight and horsepower. The charge is 25 cents per horse power, and per 500 pounds, or major fraction thereof, of gross weight of vehicle and load. 50 cents on pneu- matic tires, 75 cents on solid rubber tires. and s1.5O on metal tires.
 '"The principal contention for sev- eral years has been that damage to the highways is in direct proportion to the weight of the vehicle" accord ing to R. H. Morris, manager of the Mack cl<-International Motor Truck Corporation, distributor for Mack trucks. The Lee bill, therefore, would require the heavier vehicle to pay the higher fees. Horsepower alone is not considered because there
 are some vehicles of a greater weight
 than those of less horsepower. One
 vehicle may weigh 2000 pounds and
 havc twenty-two horsepower while
 another may weigh 2500 pounds and
 have but twenty horsepower, so it is
 believed that weight Is a fairer basis
 than horsepower only.
 Truck owners know their vehicles are heavier than other motor vehicles and are not objecting to the increase in fees that would result from the
 enactment of the Lee bill. As an example of the working of the Lee bill in relation to trucks, let us as-
 sume that five-ton truck weighs 5000 pounds aSd has a forty horse power motor. On horsepower the fee would be s10, on the weight of the chassis the fee would be Cat 75 cents per 100 pounds) SIS. 50. on the weight of the load, figured the same way. 1 s15, making the total fee $3S 50. To | this total would have to be added the weight of the trucks body at 75 cents | per 800 pounds. The average body weighs about 2000 pounds, which would make the grand total fee on horsepower, chassis, load and body | Si1 50. Although this means an ad- vance over present truck fees, own CTS are quite willing to pay the in- | crease because the bill is fair

'MUL IT. MACHINE
 ME THOD ORIC|-
 MATED BY NASH

Charles w. Nash. head of the Nash interests of Kenosha, Wis, and orig inator of the "straight-line" produc- tion system for motor cars, which brought the ownership of autorno- piles within reach of the average American, has announced a radical new production method, applied to different class of cars, which dupli cates by machinery and at a lower cost the fine handwork that has al- ways distinguished the leading cars of Europe It might be called the multi machine method.
 The immediate benefactor of Nashs new production conception is the Lafayette Motors company of Indianapolis, of which he is president.
 After more than 20 years in the motor business says Nash, most of which has been devoted to the pro duction of cars in the medium price class. I have realized in my assoeia- ton with the Lafayette an ambition which I have always had, namely: To produce car comparable to the finest hand made cars of Europe, but designed for American road con ditions and manufactured on a prac- tical machine basis, which would make ownership possible among that
 
 who find true satisfaction in the as- sured quality of their possessions.
 Not until recently did circum- stances give me the opportunity to work it out. Starting with the prom iso that handwork can be duplicated by machine operations if you use enough of them, we proceeded to equip the Lafayette plant with every device which would add the slightest degree of reliability or performance value to each part.
 There Is no secret about it. It is simply a case of thoroughness, but Ii Is a degree of thoroughness whicl has never been tried in this country before and which might have beer impossible without the precision methods recently developed by air craft manufacturers.
 While this multiciplicity of opera tions adds to manufacturing cost, i does not approach the most of hand work, because of the increased speed with which machine work is accom-. l plished. Besides, 1t reduces to tn, l lowest possible degree the human element which is the greatest facto of error in any fabricated product"

CADILLAC WINS
 SPECIAL HONOR
 AT SAN DIEGO

According to Larry Quinlan an un- usual honor was paid Don Lee and the Cadillac at San Diego when first prize for the most beautiful car in the automobile show was awarded a Don Lee custom built club coupe on a Cadillac chassis.
 This car was finished in Foche blue and was exhibited by the Hib- ner-Alexander company of San Diego.
 The show was held in one of the old fair buildings at Balboa Park and was in every way 8 credit to the in- dustry. From one to three models of practically every make were exhibited and in addition to the standard mod els seven bodies of custom make were shown
 The only Don Lee custom body at the exhibit was the club coupe which earned first prize. The prize was awarded by a committee of three. which considered the general design, finish. equipment and construction of the motor coaches.

way running north from Roosevelt to Payson. This connects with a good road which continues to Winslow and Flagstaff, thus enabling the tourist to drive around a great loop and come back to Phoenix by way of the National Old Trail highway.
 The new Stadlman hotel now in course of construction at Payson, will afford the motorist the finest of ac- commodations. The building, which is to be two stories in height, is being built in an octagonal shape, having 13 sides, the rooms opening into a large central lobby with an immense fireplace. At present, the hotel has a number of beautiful four-room bun galows, equipped with bath and fur nished nicely throughout. The very finest of homecooked meals are served, and every service obtainable at the finest of resort hotels Is avail able. The rates are most reason able and within the means of the person of moderate circumstances.
 Zane Grey, the noted author, is building $60,000 home near Pay son, which was the scene of many of his stories. Grey's selection of this locality in which to build his home is a tribute indeed and one of which any community could well be proud.
 The distance to Payson from Phoe- nix, by way of f-the Apache Trail con- stitutes one days drive, the stop for lunch being made at Roosevelt, or along the way, if preferred. The season at Payson extends from May l to october 1, both the spring and fall being exceedingly mild. The altitude, which is about 5000 feet renders the summer climate delight l full.
 Barret & Pottberg. local Stude-
 baker distributors, who made the trir | to Payson and the Tonto country
 have full information as to the route i from Phoenix, and will gladly pass this on to all who wish to make z
 trip to that beautiful section.

SCOUTS IN coNsTANTlNOPLE.

Scouting in Robert college is true
American brand, even if it Is away
over across the seas, in a strange ana
ancient city. Three troops, comprising
- scouts, have been organized in the
college this year, under the direction
of Mr.. Radcliff, who is an Eagle scout
and has served as an assistant scout
master in Yonkers, y. Y. Earl Prltch-
ard, the physical director of the col
lege, is acting as scout commissioner
Three advanced scouts are serving as
assistant scoutmasters. The college is
an American institution, having its
charter from the state Of New York.
Scouting is conducted precisely as in
the United States, with the single ex-
ceptiOn that every boy has to give the
history of his own flag, whether IT be
Greek, Armenian; Bulgarian, Turkish
or what not.

SCOUTING IN SCHOOLS,

1t has long been a matter Of com
mon knowledge that scouting can and
does work hand in hand with our pub
lie schools, but it is perhaps less well
known in how many of the best pri-
yate schools of the country, the move
ment is established and operating sue
cessfuily to the mutual betterment of
both the school and scouting.
Schools which foster scouting among
the pupils in their midst are Greenwich
academy, Peddie, Blair, Bordentown
Military institute, Perkiomen. etc. The
president of one of the largest mill
tary academies in the East recently
made the following interesting state
ment:
I'VE always have sixty and some,
times more students Of the school
who have come to use from boy scout
organizations throughout the country.
We find them to be our best boys,
and we have always tried to encour-
age them to keep their affiliations
with their home organizations. There
always has been a strong pressure on
the part of these boys to have an or
ganization here. Therefore, with the
opening of the September term, wish
to organize a thorough-going unit.
Amongst our teachers there are al
ways several who have been scout
masters, and we wish to avail our
90 fpoiJ,iDn a1yinu them
leaders of the movement here. This
organization would be an entity sep
arate from our regular military or
ganization, and in relations to the
school would be somewhat like our
fraternities. Y. NJ. c. AS, etc. we
would give them quarters and stimu-
late them by rewards, etc.

PRESIDENT ASSURES
 AID FOR SOLDIERS
Harding Interrupts His Inaugural Ad- dress to Talk to Wounded
 Service Men.

Washington. March 4.-There were loud cheers when the president de- livered his condemnation of war prof. teering in connection with his inau- gural address.
 In the midst of his address, Mir Harding departed from his prepared manuscript to make reference to the group of wounded soldiers just be- low the inaugural stand. He as- sured them that this republic will never be ungrateful for the services you have rendered" and added that he hoped for a policy which would adequately, provide in the future for those wounded in wartime.
 While he was speaking a woman fainted just in front of the stand and Mrs. Harding motioned to secret service man to 20 to her aid. Tho first lady of the land turned her at tention away from the inaugural speech and followed with her eyes the first aid rendered to the stricken woman. X marine had led the woman away before Mrs. Harding again turned back to follow the address.
