MISS LOUISE BAKER RETURN
I'd TO MEMPHIS MONDAY

Miss Louise Baker was brought
HON" frt m Memphis last Saturday
She had been in Memphis severa.
weeks under the care of physicians
who have been laboring faithfully tC
ave her-eye sight, but it appears that
their efforts are u~n-reWarded. She
was anxious to come home, but II
was found that her eyes gave her
such great pain, that it was deemed
best that she be carried back to Mem
phis Monday.
1t will be remembered that some
two months ago, Miss Baker sustained
some injuries in one eeye from the
broken glass of the wind shield of
her car which was ran into, it seems
by a car being driven by a Mr.. Free
man, of Greenwood. At first it was
not thought the injury was at all ser
ious, but it proved to be. with the re-
suit that that eye had to be removed
later the other eye became effected
and today she is almost totally blind.
1t is indeed a most regrettable affair,
and it is enough to touch the heart of
even the most callous to see this love-
ly, sweet and gracious young woman
so sOrely afflicted. But the writer
hardly knows of one who is better
by maternal inheritance, habits
and character to bear up with that
Christian grace and love which is so
beautifully portrayed in Holy Writ
than this pure and really meek young
lady. Viewed from the worlds stand
point, fate hands out some hard de-
crees, but her loved ones may rest
assured that out of this her Makers
name will be glorifed and perhaps she
will be the means of bringing in more
sheaves at the last day.

SEES FUTURE FOR MOTOR
TRUCKS IN THE SOUTH
Prospects for Business Expansion
Good, Declares Machinery
Firm Head,

The chief impediments to progress
have been at least partially removed;
prospects for general business ex-
pansion in the south are good. Settle
ment of the labor controversies on the
railroads. in the cotton mills and the
coal fields, putting million men back
to work, higher wages in some in
dustries and excellent harvests have
given the people an increased purchas-
ing power. This was the opinion ad-
vanced today by Frank II. Gibbes,
president of the Gibbes Machinery
Company of Columbia, S. c.
This will make particularly heavy
demands on local transportation ia
cilities" Mr.. Gibbes further pointed
out shippers in the south should,
therefore, exercise the utmost care In
the selection of their hauling units
to be sure that they are able to dis
PATCH their goods with promptness
and economy.
Il venture to say that in tho ma
jority of cases it will be found that
the motor truck is the most valuable
unit available for short-haul distribu-
tion. The fact that 4 million OF them
are in use today is proof.

type VI cars There was SO much
trouble with chains breaking on the
sprocket wheel during that first en-
durance run that MIR. Clarke decided
that chains must be eliminated before
the automobile could be adequately
developed for general use.
AS soon as he returned to Ardmore
he started designing a shaft-driven
car which only two and one-half
months later was completed and
driven by him to the automobile show
in New York. That was the first
shaft-driven car built in America and
the first of it's kind ever exhibited
here.
Work on Autocar commercial
trucks was begun seriously in 1907.
The first commercial car was sold in
1908. and remained continuously in
service for three years until 1t was
traded by its owner foE another Au-
tocar. The type 21CF Autocar is still
In production at the Autocar plant.

TARIFF ST|MULANT.
TO MOTOR TRADE
Effects in Foreign Markets
Discussed by Cadillac
Manager.

Almost nothing which has happened
in recent years will have such a
tendency to stimulate American au-
tomotive foreign trade as the newly
agreed upon export tariff. according
to Lynn McNaugnton, general sales
manager of the Cadallac Motor Car
Company.
THE automobile duty has been re-
duced to 25 per cent. but elastic
powers are accorded the President.
And, if conditions warrant, this could
be increased by one-half. bringing 1t
up to a maximum of 371s per cent"
explains Mr.. McNaughton. Thus the
American manufacturers will be ac-
corded an equality in foreign coun-
tries that will enable them to retain
the dominant share OF the world
automotive trade.
For instance. France, noting that
duty on her cars has been reduced to
25 per cent will undoubtedly reduce
her duty, which amounts to As per
cent, on American cars. Italy has
been collecting 50 per cent. plus

MAKING OF FOOL-PROOF ROADS
BATTLES ENGINEERING EXPERTS
Million Motorists, Fearing Skidding in Wet
Weather, Through Washington Conven-
tion, Will Offer Help in Finding Way.

A concrete roadway can be made non

surface before the top finishing hardens,
but. experience shows that it won't stay
non-skid. Earth, waste, Oil drippinSs

What the National Motorists Asso-
citation wants, if possible, is q non-skid
smooth roadway that will stay non-sktd.
1t may be that the problem can't be
solved, but 1t will be put up to the high
way education board for consideration
and, if possible, for solution.
Talent to BE Developed.
Feeling that the time has come
when the utmost in skill and science
should be brought into play in build
ing American highways, the National
Motorists Association intends to CO.
operate to the fullest with the high
way education board in developing
the necessary talent TO make Uncle
Sans roads the best in all the world
and to place them beyond criticism
for this, after all, is the real purpose
of the highway education board.

Believing that it can engage in
no more constructive endeavor than

One million motorists throughout

gineers to find i way to make

They believe it can be done, although
the engineers as yet have not found
way. Through their national or
ganization the National Motorists As

But they want it solved. for the great
driver today, as they see it, Is

The request for construction of
non-skid roads will be voiced by rep
resentatives of the National Motor
lists Association at the highway edu-
cation board conference which opens
in Washington tomorrow. At this
meeting there will be present repre-
sentatives from every agency of the
federal government having to deal
with the problems of constructing
and maintaining highways, state
highway officials. leading educators
and highway engineers and repre-
sentatives of the automotive indus

citation deems the occasion good
one for the Introduction Of this theme
of discussion and will introduce it in
spirit of entire frendliness and
with the desire to assist in making
the roads safer for motorists and pc
destrians alike in wet weather.
Roads Roughened Quickly.
Thus far the problem Of constructing
md maintaining smooth non-skid road
las baff1ed the skill Of the engineer. The
only non-skid roadways in the country
today are those constructed of brick or
blocks of granite or other similar ma
terials. Such roadways are non-skid
but they wear rough generally in short
time and when in that condition are not
conducive to smooth riding.

Reciprocal Possibilities.
"If some manufacturing countries

in return for an equally low rate

United States, steps could be taken
to have a higher rate, up 20 371. per

Likewise the new arrangements
will help our trading with colonies
of foreign countries or non-industrial
countries, since the President has
been accorded powers to increase the
duties by one-half on products from
any country or subdivision thereof,
that fails to afford fair treatment to
American commerce. Thus. countries
blocking our exports would he de-
prived of our trade, and those favor
ing 1t would receive it.
That Is all the American manu-
facturer Of automobiles wants-fair

Once we get this, we will, as ma

Legislative Action.

Matters Of. import to the motorists
of the United States will be to the
forefront when the legislatures of
forty-three states meet early in 1929.
OF this number, fortv-one states mcet
in January' one, Florida, in April,
and enc, Georgia. in June. The five
states in which legislatures do not
meet in 1925. are Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Maryland, Mississippi and Viz

tionai Motorists Association.
Officers of highway commissions ~
the forty-three states in question ar"
now busy preparing drafts OF new or
amendments to old legislation for
submission to legislative bodies when
they convene. These drafts doubtless
will contain suggestions with refer
ence to the bringing of state laws
into line with the federal aid law.
the question Of theft prevention.
motor car registration. legislation
controlling headlights, automatic sig

question of declaring motor vehicles
to be common carriers. uniform trN-

the progress of legislation affecting,
directly or indirectly, the interests of
motorists or highway development
problems. and will give support TO
