WILL INVESTIGATE
MORAL CONDITIONS

Charges have been made against
Sheriff Gibson Tuesday by Prose
cutting Attorney A. e Graham, when
he launched a countrywide campaign
against Illicit liquor traffic and gen.
eral gambling and vice conditions in
the city.
1t is said that Attorney Graham has
in his possession evidence which tends
to show that Sheriff Gibson has not
attacked a certain organization en-
gagged in the sale and manufacture of
illicit liquor

ditions that should be-
Mr.. Graham announced that his
first step in this direction would be
to clean out rooming houses and
vice dens throughout the county.
Mr.. Graham has ample ground to
work on, as conditions have been
extremely bad during the Christmas
season, the same can also be said of
the Fourth Of July holidays. During
these seasons of the year many per-
sons of immoral character take up
the rooms in hotels and rooming
houses that it is aIomst impossible
for loggers to secure places to stop

USING OF TRUCKS IN
GERMANY AS FREIGHT
CARRIERS A SUCCESS
Plan Saves 40 Railroad
Cars for Long Dis
lance Hauling.

New York. March 14.-While Ger
man railroad officials have for some
years considered the motor truck a
competitor which should be destroyed
it has been the prevalent feeling re-
Gently that the two agencies of trans
portation must cooperate, according
to DR.. Albert Sommer Of Dresden,
Germany, in an address before the mo-
tor truck members of the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce. DIR.
Sommer is executive manager of a
larne German trucking corporation
similar to the United States Trucking
Corporation of New York City, and
is in this country to familiarize him.
self with the American Automotive
industry.
American manufacturers have moth
ing to fear from competition from
Germany in the making of motor
trucks at present, DIR. Sommer be-
lieves. 1.-The cheapest new truck in
Germany cost at least $1,000, and then
one must wait months for the fac
tory to fill the order" he says.
about one year ago the use OF
trucks by factories in the city Of
Berlin began and today can be pro-
nounced a thorough success" asserts
DIR. Sommer. Trucks are used to avoid
trap car service between freight sta
tions in various parts of Berlin. Each
individual truck unit consists of five
ton motor truck and two trailers, all
closed like freight cars, operated and
guarded by the truck corporations men
who for this business are under the
orders of the railway management,
wearing the railway uniform. The
rruck corporation acts as joint carriers
with the railroad and receives a tariff
proportionate TO the prevailing rail-
road tariff. Through this use of trucks
about 40 railroad cars are saved for
long haul purposes in Berlin alone.

Large Truck Sales.
Federal Motor Truck company has
one of the largest truck ssles organ
izations in business and many of Its
distributors have been with the com
pany since its inception. Mr.. ,Pulch-
er always believed in taking his
distributors into his confidence and
also acting upon their advice as to
the needs of business in the trans
portation selling and attributes much
of the success of his company to the
fact that he has built Federal trucks
to the requirements of men and firms
who use trucks.
During the past year Federal has
augmented its retail and wholesale
sales outlets with the addition of a
number of branches, Baltimore, Buff
falo, Memphis and Chicago being the
points most recently established.
Plans of the Federal Motor Truck
company for 1924 include the bring
ing out of one new model on an en-
tirely different truck than has ever
been manufactured and the production
plan will 60 rapidly forward on this

made about it soon.

EFFECT 700 CLUBS
The New American Auto
mobile Association Works
for Car Owner.

Automobile mergers took on new
significance for the individual motorist
last week when it was announced that
an agreement had been reached where
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton and the National Motorist As
ISOLATION would consolidate and go ov-
er the ton together in the interest
of more than 100000 car owners.
Plans for such merger were given
impetus, it is said, when it seemed
plain that Congress was not inclined to
reduce automobile taxation. The at
titude of Congress made clear to the
opposed motor factions that union
of their strength would be essential
to success in national legislative mat
tiers.
Has More Prestige.
According to the agreement effected
after weeks of conferences between high
officials of the A. A. A. and N. NJ. A,
the consolidated organization is to be
known as The American Automobile
Association. This is believed to COM
bine uniquely the prestige and histori-
cal value of the A. A. A. name with
the new blood injected into it by rea-
son of the consolidation with the
n. NJ. A., which has made remark
able progress since breaking away from
the parent body two years ago.
Complete details of the personnel of
the new organization have not been
announced yet, but it is understood
that the best minds from both or
carnations will guide the gigantic mo-
tor organization in the work which is
now so urgently needed. The merger
is thought to combine cleverly the ex-
perience of both organizations with the
vitality of their newer leaders.
Nearly 700 clubs throughout the
country will be affected by the con-
olidation, the result being such as vir-
tually to double the service which or
ganiZed motorists receive ms a result of
membership in their local automobile
clubsf Heretofore it has been neces-
sary for a motorist to belong to several
national association in order to enjoy
reciproprocal service privileges on
tour, but under the new arrangement
the service privileges are practically un
interrupted from coast to coast.
Work for MotOrist.
The combined membership Of the
two clubs will be close to 1,0OO,O 600
in the near future and as this repre-
sents the motorists in the country who
conscientiously work for the siinplifi-
cation of traffic, the safety of the
roads and the convenience of travel
il is expected that some important
steps will be taken during 1924 in the
interests of better motoring.

OVERLAND SHIPS
22,136 CARS FROM
FACTORY IN MONTH
Exceed Shipments for Feb
ruay, 1923, by 20
Per Cent.

President John N. WHY'S Of WHY'S
Overland announces another new pro-
duction record with February ship
ments of 22.136 Willys-Knight and
overland cars, an average of more
than 1000 cars a day for the %
working days Of the month. according
to the San Antonio Overland Com
pany.
This mark surpasses the total of
February, 1923, by more than 20 per
cent.
The peak shipping point for one day
cars.
Paralleling this increase in shipping
is the increase in return of retail sales
certificates from dealers in the field,
which is the one accurate method that
the factory possesses of keeping check
on actual retail purchases. According
to reports from the office of the comp
troller retail sales certificates returned
during February are practically double
those of a year ago, which is taken
by officials of the factory as evidence
of steady buying activity throughout
the colder weather periods.
Indications of early spring buying
are presaged by the unusually great
number of driveaways from the fac
tory as soon as the zero weather OF
early February had abated. A new
high mark for the year was registered
on the 2Sth when 46S cars were
driven away.
This is n new factory unit, a three
story brick building. 4S1 by 81 feet,
and with floor space of 1883
square feet. A total of 1900 cars can
be stored in the building, each floor
being accessible by long ramps of
runways.
The building is designed and
equipped to render more efficient serv-
ice to dealers calling at the factory
for cars. 1t contains a large reception
room, cashiers office and other con-
veniences for the visiting dealers and
drivers. 1t is expected that the new
building will permit the handling of a
greater volume of shipments.

CHRYSLER BEING
PRODUCED AT RATE
OF 100 CARS DAILY
This Production, Howeuer,
Not Supplying Demand.
Says Report.

One Of the most amazing pieces OF
information that has come from any
Detroit automobile factory in a num-
Der of weeks was made public yes
terday with the announcement by j.
f. Fields. general sales manager of
the Chrysler Motor Corporation, that
production on the Chrysler Six had
reached more than one hundred cars
a day, says letter received by the
Guarantee Motor Car company local
distributor.
The figures are startling because
the Chrysler was not introduced to
the public until early in January with
the opening of the New York Auto
mobile Show. Production then went
steadily ahead and was well under
way by the latter part of that month.
Since then the Chrysler plant has
each week met the schedules for Chrys-
Ter manufacture, which were laid out
more than six months ago. Manu-
facturers of motor cars or automotive
equipment. realize the full meaning of
this statement. knowing as they do
that the Chrysler plant has been spe-
cially equipped throughout to develop
unusual quality of workmanship rath-
er than quantity of product For that
reason the speed with which the pres
ent rate of production has been reach
ed. becomes all the more remark
able.
Sales reports from all sections of
the country and from virtually every
automobile show which has been held
in the United States indicate that
even the present high schedules at
tanned in building the Chrysler Six
will not satisfy buying demand: and
Mr.. Fields believes he is making n
conservative statement when he says
that the car is certain to be over
sold throughout 1924. He adds en-
phatically to this by saying that
Chrysler will make no attempt to gain
a higher production rate than the
schedules call for. believing that il is
better to safeguard quality than to
