General Motors Official De-
cIares 1925 Season Will
Set Records.

More commercial motor vehicles
will be manufactured and sold in 1925
than during any previous year in the
history of the industry. This is the
prediction of Otto Stoll. vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
General Motors Truck Co., who is conf
dent the motor truck business will share
in the general prosperity i'll store this
year for all lines of business activity.
Commercial vehicles should be
among the leading industries in per-

has been proven to ALTO the Kan

Another large field is that of
passenger transportation by motor
buses. During the past year street
railway concerns have adopted busses
as feeders to their systems, while
hundreds of new bus lines have been
established. This is but the begin
ming During the coming year il is
likely that thousands of comparative
ly small busses, with seating capacity
of not more than 90, win be installed on

up, this country realizes commercial

DENIES MOTORISTS
GROWING CARELESS
Dealer Says Safety Devices Do Not
Encourage Drivers to Reck-
lessness.

Do safety devices encourage motor
lists to be more careless?
Affirmative answers to this question
have resulted in at least one dealer
coming out strongly in the negative.
He is N D. Hawkins. jr., sales man
zser OF the local Nash agency.
Unless the motor car driver is an
entirely new species of human being,
says Mr. Hawkins. there is no truth
IN the belief that autom obilists are
growing less careful with each new
safety measure that Is adopted.
"The mortorist is no different from
the typical factory worker who used
to pay the penalty for lack Of pre-
caution, and. since carelessness has de-
creased with the adoption of guards
for machinery. there is no reason
why safer brakes, better vision and
accurate steering should not produce
similar results In motordom.
"Carelessness Is relative Ike any
thing else, and with the addition OF
safety devices on his car a man can
do things that would be hazardous
without these safety devices and yet
not be more careless.

bothered good deal by noises which
they ascribe to Static" that is, air
disturbance. Floyd Tannehill, local
Interstate man, honestly says that
much of this trouble is not air dis
turbance at all but leakage from the
electric distributing system, probably
from transformers. Floyd is radio
fan himself and wants to do all he can
to make good reception possible. He
has offered to spend the time and
treble going over the system with a
radio detector to locate leaks and cor
rect them F.. H. Hiestand, radio sales
man for the Groenier music house, has
offered to go with Mr.. Tannehill sup
plying the radio end, and some of the
leaks have beer picked up and eradi-
Gated. Similar trouble exists at Platte
vile and Galena, and probably all
communities are affected more or less.
Incidentally the location and elimin-
