Takes Grocery Store to Home
Truck Store Carries Complete Stock of Goods tc
Housewives Doors at Low Prices-The Chauf-
feur Replaces Three Clerks-Rent Saved.

New York. March talking the
store to the home is not novel. Ped
dlers with horse and wagon still ply
about as they have for years, through
country districts. Some of them now
use automobiles.
However, there has been no great
expansion in the use of the motorized
travelling store such as it's obvious
merits in convenience and economy
would seem to warrant.
The travelling store has not grown
because investment in automobile
equipment is heavy, demanding rapid
turnover in stock and many times the
daily profits of the old fashioned ped.
der.
Complete Grocery Line.
But now there has been developed
the 'mOtorteria" by the Mototeria
Company of Detroit, which is a spe-
cialized body placed upon a two and
one-half ton motor truck. The mo
toteria" is large enough to carry on
display a complete line of groceries,
fully comparable with the stock car.
ried by the average small chain grOc-
cry store. 1t is, therefore, equipped
with the means TO earn a profit on
the large investment involved.
The first "motOteria" was put into
service by the Wright and Parker
Company, a Detroit chain store sys.
TEN. Seven more have been ordered
and a combined garage and warehouse
is being built to accommodate &C
trucks and adequate supplies of mer.
chandse.
Daily replenishment enables the
"motOteria" to carry a complete stock
of goods. Rapid turnover makes pos.
sible low prices; and since the store

be abandoned without loss.
Store Never Over-crOwded.
One clerk, who is the chauffeur, re-
places the three clerks usually found
in chain store. High rent for de.
sirable corner locations is also saved
and there are no such hours when
the store is over-crowded.
The "mototeria" store is % feet long
by seven and one-half feet wide with
attractive interior and a glass show
case for fresh vegetables in the rear
As customer goes in the front door
she is given a large market basket
suspended from an overhead rail, in
which she places her purchases. In

head rail past every bit Of merchan-
disc in the store.
The first days business with the
"mototeria" in Detroit yielded cash
sales of STAG. 1t is said to be aver
aging $1,000 per week. Average chain
store sales in the same district are
about $475 per week.
The new store is said to be popular
with women, especially on rainy days,
when the advantages of chain store
prices can be enjoyed at the curbstone
in front of the home.

SAYS NEW DRIVERS

N. M. A. Secretary Believes

That the great increase in the num-

not be regarded as a prelude TO an in

thority on motor matters than Fred
II. Galley, executive secretary Of the
National Motorists Association.
IL is Caley's contention that through
intensive motoring new drivers now
acquire experience uuch more rapid
ly than new drivers did back in 1916
when the boom started, and that is
assurance of prevention of an acct.

ton of motor vehicle operators.
The so-called experienced driver
nowadays is astounded to see how
quickly the newcomer become motor
WISE" says the n. NJ. A. secretary,
'The newcomer does things within a
months time that the old timer once
took several years TO achieve. This
is due to the greatly increased need
for the automobile and its increased
reliableness.
Just as the newcomer more read
lily discovers the advantages Of car
ownership so does he more readily dis
cover the danger of not driving with
all due regard for safety. Whereas
the old timer might have driven a
thousand miles before getting into a
situation where he had to be careful
OF pedestrians the newcomer acquires
Q 4 'usand miles Of experience in his

This has an important bearing up
on safety in motoring. With every

Bandits Pick Up
In Manchuria AS
Summer Approaches

Hardin, Manchuria, April ia.
p. by maiD-The notorious bandits
of Manchuria, called in Chinese
'Hunhutze" or Red Boards, have be-
gun to reappear with the advent Of
warm weather. Their favorite field
of operations is along the 900-mile
line of the Chinese Eastern railway,
among the prosperous settlements
populated by Russian railway en-
ployes and Chinese farmers.
The cold of the winter serves to
keep these bandits more or less
quiescent, maintaining themselves as
best they can on booty acquired dur
ing the summer season. Nevertheless,
they do not find it necessary to hide
in the mountains or forests during
their period Of inactivity. On the
contrary they mingle freely in the
life. of the towns as peaceable citi-
zens, sometimes occupying them
selves with some petty trade, or beg
ging in the streets.
Occasionally one chances to be
recognized, in which case punish
ment is swift and sure at the hands
of an executioner who Yields a two
handed sword. or in q locality domin-
ated by the military. before a firing
squad. In either case the occasion is

The severity Of their punishment

for this. In the summer they actually

too often successful, and interrupt

in well armed disciplined bands and
thus far opposition to them has met
with doubtful success. Railway
guards exist but are poorly armed

the bandits but never in sufficient
numbers to accomplish anything, and
in the opinion of observers they new

in Soviet prisons and concentration
camps. A general appeal has been
made to all labor and revolutionary
organizations throughout the world
to help in the campaign for the re-
lease Of non-partisan revolutionists
held in Russian prisons.
Social revolutionists, anarchists
syndicalists and various other sorts
of so-called liberals and radicals
are joining the movement and broad
casting their appeals in terms which
denounce the communist regime in
Russia as a Dictatorship over the

ship Of the proletariat."
Since July 6, 1918, Maria Spirido-
nova has been in disfavor with the
Bolshevist government. When she
returned from IL years of Siberian
exile she was welcomed as a leader of
the peasants, and worked with the
Soviet regime until the ratification
of the Brest- Litovsk Treaty, which
she denounced as inimical to the in
terests of the peasants.
With many other Left Social revo-
lutionists she was arrested after the
murder Of Count Mierbach, the Ger
man ambassador. and her life since
has been one Of constant persecution,
according to the organizations which
are seeking Maria's release.
