few years is striking confirma ton
of this assumption. With the grow
ing expansion in the utilization of
petroleum, as Witnessed in the devel-
opment Of gas oil for the manufac-
3Jure of gas, and the increasing de-
mand for fuel oil, as intimated above,
there Is certain to come larger de-
velopment of motorized service in
| the petroleum field.
| Prominent lumbermen predict that
within the next two years all mules
and oxen now in use in southern lum-
| bering will be replaced by tractors
and trucks. Various methods of
| transportation from time Ito time
have been employed in the handling
of our forest products; but in the last
| few years lumbermen in general have
displayed a keenness for observation
that has resulted in the rather exten-
sive usage of motor equipment to
save both time and money. Where
good drivers are secured the cost of
maintenance compares favorably with
that of railroads, as the trucks and
trailers can be insured against loss at
reasonable rates. During dry sum-
mer months, where the soil is hard
or gravel, small tracts of timber can
be hauled with comparatively little
road work and on grades that would
be impossible for locomotives to ne
gotiate. This enables the motorized
service to be used as an auxiliary to
the railroads. 1t is quite apparent
that the logging industry has deTel-
oped from one of independence 20 al

there will come about more extern
sive utilization OF motor trucks by
the farmer. 1t is well-known fact
that he loses $300,000,000 yearly in
marketing his crops on account of
bad roads. He will, therefore, quick
~ take advantage of this new condi-
tion by purchasing extensive truck
equipment. In his purchases he will
be assisted materially by the War
Finance Corporation, which has been
given by congress billion dollar re-
volving fund to make possible ad-
yances to banks. bankers and trust
companies and thereby give stability
to the credit situation arising out Of
the rotation of crops.
Unquestionably the day of the.
power farmer is at hand. 1t is to
him that we must turn in answer to
the country's cry for greater produc-
tion The bureau of crop estimates
of the United States department of
agriculture discovered after an ex-
haustive series of experiments with
horse and motor drawn vehicles that
the motor drawn vehicle travelled %
per cent longer distance. made 1S3

This work was done at 40 per cent,

In the railroad field there is every
reason to believe that trucks will
play very large part this year. The

Everywhere. Industry in general has
suffered from the lack of world wide
demand for its products. There is
nothing extraordinary, therefore, in

which the motor truck industry is
passing. It is simply that phase OF

which all industries are shaping
themselves. 1t is not surprising.
therefore to find that the prices of
many Of the motor truck models have
Seen lowered.
Bankers have entered the new year
with considerably greater case of
mind than they felt at the opening
nf 1920, when they foresaw that an
adjustment must come. Now it ap-
Uears that within very short time
the last cycle in the after-war level
ing process will be completed. A
hopefui sign is seen in the fact that
fhe majority OF the basic industries
are on the upward grade in produc-
lion. This will automatically bring
about. ON the part of merchants and
executives, an urgency OF acquiring
greater transportation facilities to
move their goods from their shelves.
For it Is well-known fact that the
motor truck business follows very
closely the general arteries of every
other industry.

TOO MANY BLACK TROOPS


The conscription of black troops
for the French army is criticized by
French colonials, who object that it
is stripping the African territories
of sadly needed labor and causing
economic evils that more than coun-
terbalance the military benefit
France may receive from these
forces.
Maurice Delfosse has contributed
two articles to La Depeche Colonial
opposing the present policy. He ar
gues that France should cease re-
cruiting among the native popula-
tions of her colonies for service in
Europe and elsewhere: negro troops
should be employed only for the de-
Tense of their native country.
He asserts that labor is constantly

tories under the French flaE. Whole
villages and tribes have vanished.
course, there are other factors be-
sides the enlistments. However,
drafting a quarter of million men
every year from the already depleted
ranks of the natives acceIerates de-
population.
The argument that these soldiers
return home after their period of
service is over is not valid APP
proximately one-third of the Sene-
gal troops remain in Europe or else
where after rehabilitation. OF the
one-fourth million recruited annually
eighty thousand never come
back.
The percentage of physical de-
fectives among the natives is in any
case very large. much larger than
among white populations in Europe.

yearly average of 1900 900, GOO tons of
freight shipped in motor trucks will
undoubtedly be surpassed Elisha
Lee, vice president of the Pennsylva-
MIA system, anticipated this realign-
ment of transportation on the short
haul in favor of trucks when he
stated a short time ago that ITO the
extent to which motor vehicles are
likely to take over the short haul
freight traffic the railroads will
probably be Immediately benefited
financially, because short haul bust
ness is becoming increasingly unre-
munerative on account of the high
proportion of terminal costs which it
must sustain"
A brief recently submitted to the
United States supreme court in a
railroad case is striking confirma-
ton of Mr.. Lees prophetic statement,
in which he makes just allowance for
the full sway of the laws of econonl-
ics. "The terminal cost of handling
less than carload freight in 1916 was
slightly less than cents per hundred
pounds at each terminal or double
that amount for the two terminals
Since 1916 this cost has increased
more than 100 per cent and in 1919
the cost of handling freight at Is sta
tions in Central Freight association
territory ranging in size from Cincin-
natl to a town of 100 inhabitants,
destined to three large stations in
trunk line territory, was % cents per
hundred pounds. This means that at
the present rate of 25 cents, first
class, five miles, per hundred pounds.
it is necessary TO haul the average
less than carload tonnage 40 miles to
break even on 80 per cent of the ac-
tual costs, leaving nothing whatever

Gerrit Fort, vice president of the
Boston and Maine railroad, undoubt-
edly had these facts in mind, as we'll

tence that "the truck has come to
stay: it represents an economic
change in transportation conditions

In another great triumph made by
Rex Ingram--that's the importance

Alice Terry who played with such
remarkable skill the role OF MAR

through the association again of this

both Valentino and Alice Terry
greater roles than they had in either
of the two former successes. 1t is a
highly emotional document--it is
fraught with the greatest human in
terest--it is rich in dramatic strength
lit is soul reaching in its theme, and
utterly absorbing in the action.
The fact that the Rialto has Sc
cured the attraction for showing at

determination of the house of ex-
