LITTLE GOOD LIQUOR
COMING INITIATIVES

WASHINGTON little good
liquor is coming into the United
States, despite rum running and Doot-
logging, is the conclusion reached by
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes.
Mr.. Haynes gave figures showing
that major imports of distilled spirits
by the nearby liquor smuggling
sources amounted to slightly more
than l per cent of preprohibition Il
uuor withdrawals from American dis
tillers.
ALLOWING none for home use,' SAID
Mr.. Haynes, eff the entire amount or
exports of distilled spirits from the
United Kingdom to the Bahamas
West Indies and Canada in 1928, as
indicated by the present rate, be add
ed to the imports of Mexico in 1871
(the latest figures available) and all
Struggled into the United States, the
total would be, about Ia per cent OF
the tax-paid liquor Withdrawals Tor
consumption for 1913.
eff a greater amount is Struggled
in than these figures show, it is GER
tain that expansion comes by means
of adulteration and rectification, or
that synthetic stuff is struggled out
and in again.
"The percentage of good liquor
found in government confiscations
amounts to less than 1 per cent"

mysterious death of his wife, who was
found with a bullet hole in her head
at Their homie She died without re-
gaining consciousness in Milwau-

SPEED WAGONS
FIRST To USE
S0F TIRES
REQ Truck Has Interesting
History, Say Head OF Trew
Motor Company.

Passenger cars have undergone
itsone radical changes since the In
dlstry began, says !. b Trew.
I OF the Trew Motor Company, but
the most revolutionary change T
know Of happened In the CONNER.
ciai car field when REQ introduced
the Speed Wagon, over seven years
ago. sss
Motor Truck engineers had been
trying to design q job which would
not pound itself to pieces on the.
road, but every time they strength
ened part the extra weight only
helped ii to pound the harder and
wear out that much more quickly.
The advent OF the pneumatic
tire for commercial vehicles just
about that time offered a solution
to the problem Of the truck engi-
neers, but most of them were hard
toscOnyince OF the value OF this type
OF tire over the hard, solid tire for
truck purposes.
After q little experimenting with
pneumatic tires on a heavy truck
hauling castings and steel forg-
fngs, REQ engineers caught the big,
idea behind the pneumatic truck
tire and designed job which was
especially adapted to this type of
tire equipment. The result was al
vehicle which had d capacity OF
from 500 to 2, 500 pounds, with the
speed Of a passenger car, the;
economy of a. smaller, vehicle, and q
construction which could stand the!
rack and strain of hard usage and
continuous service.
OF course, the pneumatic tire is5
now used widely on practically
every type of ear and truck on the.
market, but believe that the intro
dIction OF the. REQ Speed Wagon
and the pop4larity that was ac-.
corded it had more to do with the.
development of the pneumatic truck
tire on a practical basis than any.
other event in automotive history.
IT he job created by the RHo en-
gif1eerS could travel so rapidly and
so easily that the name Speed
Wagon seemed to be the only one
that really fitted. So Speed Wagon
it became and so II has remained.
In fact, the REQ Company copy.
righted the name as that OF the
originAl vehicle 0f this type.
The Speed Wagon not only
pioneered the pneumatic truck tire.
but It also was one Of the first

Production is stated to be limited
due partly to the extensive and
expensive equipment required in

The practical measure of the re.

ana production schedules for 1928
are said to be about double the
