touring bureau of the American Auto
mobile Association suggests late
March trip up through the Bronx and
along Pelham Parkway to the Shors
Road, leading past New Rochelle
Larchmont, Mamaroneck, and Rye to
Port Chester.
This is, of course, so much of the
conventional trip toward New Haven

Shortly after passing through Port

from the "Post Road" to the shore of
3 delightful bit of Long Island Sound.
That, however, figures more in later

Greenwich still prefers to be called.

,500. 900 cars in use in the United

The value cf the 1919 automobile

this is only fraction Of the value
Of the total number Of cars in use.
This amount Of money represents only

In this Way tbestrue value of motor

Those who are skepticaI about the

well to think about these figures And,
at the saner time, it should be remem-

Motor Truck Transport
Carries Huge Tonnage
Figures Show 1t. Ranks Now
Second Only to the Rail
system of Carriage

Statistics for, 1920 show that motor
trucks carried more tonnage than
either inland Waterways or interurban
trolley lines. Motor transport now
ranks second only to rail transporta-
ton. In less than ten years time
motor transportation has grown from
nothing to it's present prominence. "A
concrete example of the remarkable
growth is had in a check taken of
traffic between Akron and Cleveland.
In two years time loaded truck tom
mage increased approximately 200 Der
cent.
The rapid growth of the industry has
been SO pronounced that many vital
problems have been only partially
solved, and its leaders face the task Of
retracing semefof their strides in order
to perfect weak spots in the structure.
The travel and transport bureau Of
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company
points out four problems that are up
for solution now. They are: Forma-
ton of local associations to eliminate
rate cutting and other harmful prac-
tices; expanding in the field of juno
tion terminal transfer of freight; to
break shippers Of the Exclusively rail
road habit" and educate them to use
motor trucks for short hauls, and to
warn truck operators against overload
ing and. overspeeding in order not to
antagonize highway authorities.
Local organizations of truck oper-
ators are springing up throughout the
country and are devoting much thought
and action toward stabilizing the in
dustry. The spirit of cooperation has
been marked, and is certain to become
a powerful factor in advancing the in
dustry, says the Goodrich bureau. I

Great Changes
Being Made in
Insurance Plans
Fire and Theft Protection
Likely To Be on Non-Val-
ued Forms Hereafter; Con.
ference to Settle Claims

Automobile insurance urotection il
now undergoing drastic changes. The
majority companies are alarmed at
the present loss ratio and the inflow 81
claims. Conferences are held freouent-
| ~ TO devise some means Of safeguard
ing their interests. rAs a protective
measure, "a conference was held re-
Gently with regard to future writings
OF FIRE and theft insurance to climi-
nate the valued form Of protection and
issue instead the non-valued contract.
AT present, if a car is stolen after
having been used for nine or ten
months, the amount insured is paid un-
der the claim. Under theS noll-valned
contract the assured, having had the
car for a period of time. will receive
the value at the time Of the loss. This
viii be depreciation value, as there is
under other forms of ordinary insur-
ance now written.
The insurance companies have other
important changes to meet which have
an indirect effect upon their under
writing. They realize that judgments
rendered on personalsinjury claims arc
greater than they were in former
soo's Hcy dIe teHucaVOring TO work
out q system of having all liability
and property damage claims handled by
one large legal department. that will
represent. all automobile companies
This department is to have full con-
troll and authority on all adjustments.
This system would enable the companies :
to get better line on practitioners
who make a speciality of hunting up
such lawsuits and would deal with
them accordingly, besides keeping tabs
on the number of and frequency OF
claims the assured has made in the
policy year.
The manner of settling claims by
the insurance companies has changed
a great deal in the last year. Some in
surarce companies which formerly we're
liberal in. their. settlements now have
a lighting spirit that has not prevailed
before. Every effort is. being made to
compromise claims. Holding down ex-
penditures is another item of great
concern. The insurance companies real
ize that greater care in underwriting
is an important factor to the continu-
ance. OF successful insurance bust

Just why it is necessary any more

Service Is Basis
OF Popularity
OF Motor Cars
Figures Prove Vast Use Of
Automobiles, Answering
Amy Criticism Of Their.
Value as Real Utility
By w. C. Sills.

The value Of a utility is proved when
1T establishes itself in snite Of unfavor-
able opinion. The steamboat, the tele-
graph, the telephone, all were scoffed
at in the beginning. And these are
only few important examples. The
automobile is another.
Yet to-day people depend on the
automobile more than they realize. 1t
is difficult to grasp the significance Of
the growth Of the automobile industry.
In the last ten years motor car
productiosi has multiplied ten times.

represented on the transportation com
mlttee. of the Federal Highway Council,
/ which is composed of Representatives
! OF railroad, motor truck waterways.
express companies, electric lines and
shipping interests. This committee is
materially aiding in coordinating the
transportation agencies.
In the transfer of less than carload
freight between railroad stations at
large junction terminals. the motor
truck is effecting great saving in
time and expense. For instance, at Gin
clnnatl fourteen motor trucks, with de-
mountable bodies, have replaced 115
slow-moving horsedrays and release
more than seventy-fve cars daily for
main line service. More than Is per
cent of the total less -than-carload
freight handled at Cincinnati was
transported by these fourteen motor
trucks
To establish this service in other
cities is the problem before the motor
trucking interests as we'll. as the rail
lines.
After years of routing shipments ex-
clusively over. rail lines shippers have
been slow'to accept the motor truck for
the short haul. An extensive educa-
tlonal campaign is the one way to gain
recognitlon OF lnterclty transportation
by motor truck. Operators are point
ing out the saving in carriage from
shipping point to terminal and from
terminal to consignee, in packing and
Grating, time consumed in the haul
and losses from damage.
The care exercised by. the railroads
in taking care Of their right -of-wav
and countenancing no destructive prac-
tees sets example for truck operators.
Tests recently completed by the United
States Bureau of Public Roads show
that truck travelling at the rate OF
fifteen miles an hour exerts twice the
force on the road as when travelling at
the rate of six miles an hour. BY
overlooking trucks for travel over
roads not built to carry the extra
weight the owner is destroying a piece
of public property and invites the en-
nifty of citizens of the community.
