Freight Blockade
 Can Be Broken

Today 15.Ooe freight cars are tied up in Detroit yards. Fifteen large industrial concerns are barred from receiving more freight until this con gestion is broken and many factories of Detroit and elsewhere are facing shutdowns unless this situation can be relieved.
 In Toledo, the great gateway to the entire Michigan peninsula, the freight congestion is even more se- rious. The Baltimore and Ohio rail- road has announced a general em- bargo and it Is expected that this will be followed by still further em- bargoes by other railroads.
 In the east. for some weeks the freight congestion has been ap- preaching a dangerous condition. The generally prosperous business con ditions have put a burden upon the railroads that they are seemingly unable to bear.
 Motor trucks can help break the freight congestion speedily" said M

StlII Going Strong--Fully Pre- pared For Big Demand For
 All Types

FLINT, Mich., Feb. S.-wherever automobile fans consregate the con versation is sure to turn sooner or later to the astonishing story of Buick.
 Of course, everybody in tho indus try knows that Buick, by virtue of leading in dollars and cents volume, has for five years enjoyed the privi- lege of first drawing for position at the National shows. But big as Buick has been, 1t has never before even approximated It's production record of the last six months.
 It not only produced 77,ooo au- tomobiles in it's two Michigan plants between August and January 1, but is still going on at an equally great monthly average. President H. H. Bassett says there will be no reduc- tion from capacity volume during the winter.
 Naturally those interested in this great industrial triumph discuss reasons beyond the fact that the present Buick line of fifteen models Is more diverse and more attrac- tive than ever before. But how about preparation for such 8 record business? How about the necessarily amplified facilities? How about the marshaling of dealers to handle such a volume? Who had this foresight? 1To
 Ask President H. H. Bassett and he will say: "Oh, we have got lot of aces in key positions here" Ask S. T. Strong. general sales manager, and he will tell you about the same thing. Ask others of tha Buick factory peopln and they will tell you that the credit belongs to Bassett and Strong. They will in- form you that these men gauged public taste correctly, and had suf- ficient confidence they were right to go ahead at enormous expense to prepare for 1t.
 From the day that the 1923 series of Buick made its appearance last August, there never was doubt that known as a Knockout" But orders did not swamp" the factory. They did not because Bassett and Strong and their associates were ready for it. It was just what they had looked for, and men and machines were ready. The word to Ego" was passed down the line and the plants have been going at top speed ever since.

First Aid

When tire blows out. the neces- sity of riding on a rim may be pre- vented by patching the tube or slightly initiating a spare one. Then bind a strip of canvas (use un- stretchable cloth if available), around the tube in the form of bandage. See that the center of the bandage is opposite the hole in the shoe. A piece of waterproofed canvas should be placed between the bandage and the cover when the tube is put back

 An operator must observe all com monly accepted "rules of the road" l A careless motorist Is one who | leaves his car alone while the engine | Is running.
 Brakes that are unevenly adjusted will throw vehicle sidewise out of 1 its track.

REF |NEMENT IF DETAIL WON AIR
 SPEED CLASSIC
Lieutenant Maughn Used No New Design in Attaining Tremendous Speed in
 Detroit Meet

Detroitfi Mich., February 3.-Re- finemept of detail and not new or unique design won out when the Cur tiss army racer crossed the finish for a worlds record In the Pulitzer air. plane classic here recently.
 Lieut.. L. R. Maughns record of bet ter than 206 miles per hour averaged for 155 miles around a closed circuit, with 15 sharp turns, and his unoffi- cial record of PAS miles per hour on straightaway, are matters or aeronautical history. But, few peo- pie realize that these records were made with an engine less powerful than the Liberty, and that there were machines in the race whose engines greatly exceeded the winners 37o h. D.
 This Is where the refinement of detail came in, according to aviation officials. Every line was moulded to fit the pressure of terrific re- sistence. Not a bolt or screw was left to catch the air and every fitv ting that held streamlined struts and streamlined wires in place was within the wings or fuselage.
 tremendous SpeeO
 Lieutenant Maughn's speed was such that a hole in the wing would have meant ripping off of the wing cover as if by explosion. The speed caused him to throw his ship on its back in an endeavor to circle the pylons which marked the turns. z
 The victory of a bipIane. was q disappointment to some designers who believe the day of the mono- plane had come. In the monoplane, the struts and brace wires are done away with as the single, thick wing carries it's bracing inside of itself. This eliminates an enormous amount of what designers call "parisite re- sistence." However, they believe that when the research has been lavished upon the monoplane that has been given the biplane, flying will be well. on the way to the 5O0- miles-an-ho pace, which some ex- perts are promising.
 The fitting of wings, control sur faces, etc., of the Curtiss racer can be compared only with the perfection of detail that nature has worked out in the brook trout, the salmon and the muskellonge. It is the last word in refinement as applied to the man. made bip1ane. Advancement from this point will require either that the plane be a living creature, or that some entirely new and better principal of construction be evolved, declare officers of aviation societies.

lease 100000 freight cars. Please understand that I am not advocating the use of motor trucks for long hauls. If bulk freight is to oe sent long distances. it can be handled better by the railroads. But in most cases it is an economic waste to load a freight car to be transported 30, 50 or 75 miles. Freight under present conditions is often two weeks between loading time and delivery time between De- troit and Toledo. It ned not be more than day if motor trucks are utilized"

L. Pulcher, vice president and gen eral manager of the Federal Motor Truck company. "The flexibility of trucks in transporting freight makes them wonderful assistance in condition like this. If one highway is blocked or congested they can de- tour to another one. If one ware house is full trucks can be unloaded at another.
 'The fact that each truck operates as an independent unit speeds 1t up. freight car has to be switched out into a general assembly yard, made up into @ train, and finally hauled away. At its destination 1t goes through the reverse process. It ar rives in a general yard, where 1t may stand for a day or two before it Is possible to switch 1t to a connecting line. It may stand in 8 connecting line a day or so before 1t can be placed on the proper siding.
 'As soon as a motor truck Is loaded it is on its way. It does not have to be switched from one line to an- other, 1t does not have to wait for trains to be made up.
 If sidings are blocked, freight can be placed on team trucks and un- loaded quickly into trucks. In the Glly lOudy di . iioit0A SNo VI trucks that could be pressed into this service.
 We learned during the war that motor trucks were not restricted to city use. In the dead of winter army transport trains were sent from De- troit to Baltimore day after day over the snow clogged roads of the AL legheny mountains.
 Hundreds of Federal trucks are in highway transport service today. And hundreds of others could be taken temporarily from city service 10 break this freight congestion.
