drive wheels that weigh more than
the entire first steam engine? Did
steam railroad interests finally pre-
vent the securing of rights OF way
for the much needed interurban troll
ley? The flying ship has become
thing of commerce that literally
shrinks the map of the world. Will
it's development cease because OF the
scarcity of landing fields at conVen-
lent points across the earth's surface?
Did the early opposition to the horse

vent the present horSeless age? No!
And can the development of the effi-
cient present-day motor truck, which
is yet in knee trousers be checked
by men who cannot read the clear
handwriting upon the wall that new
epoch has dawned?
Present Gas Engine.
Unlike other history making in
ventions, the present gas engine is not
a substitute for something antiquated
but acts as the most powerful ally to
the railroad that has ever been
dreamed of. 1t is eliminating the un-
profita bic branch lines and main line
short hau1s and bringing freight from
Isolated sections in a manner that
pilI, I'LL OF I1dTTluldu udu
never even hoped for.
IF the present railroad systems
were relieved of terminal congestion
and the Improbable short hauls they
could take care of the demands of to-
day with their present equipment.
1T is gratifying to note that con-
structive minds are coming to see the
mt odern motor truck as a solution in
the form of an evolution that will be
felt by every family throughout the
country-as great an evolution and
having as far-reaching an effect upon
the life of each individual as did the
of the steam engine.

Germany-to meet the demands sue
