ct NEW WHITE TRUCKS
ADDED TO N. Y. FLEET

Another large order for motor
trucks has been placed by the city
OF New York with the White Com
pany, the contract calling for nine
ty.seven heavy-duty units for use
by the street cleaning department.
AS the trucks will be utilized prin-
cipaIly for the collection and dis.
posal of rubbish they will be
equipped with unusually large
bodies, a combination steel and
wood panel type. The complete or
der of ninety-seven trucks will be
delivered within 15O days.
New York city is by far the
largest user of motor trucks among
municipalities and has effected big
savings by motorizing its street
cleaning department. The city has
been large and consistent buyer
of White truck equipment since
1920 when it started to motorize On
a large scale and has placed varl.
Gus orders with the White Com
panY ranging from 10 to 213

Hudson and Essex automobiles this

differently here. In the first place,
we buy only certain kinds which

Each car is given a thorough
inspection when it first comes in.
Sometimes we decide to thoroughly
overhaul it-always in case of a

periments have shown that there Is
very slight difference between this
condition. and that little additional
force need be applied to lock the
wheels.
Length Of wheelbase, height. of
center Of gravity Of the car. force
required to slip the tires on the
road, and whether two-wheel brakes
or four wheel brakes are fitted, all
have a. bearing on stopping dis
tance. When two-wheel brakes are
applied, the car tends to rise at
the rear and press down at tire
front, because the center Of grav-
ity is above the road where the
braling effect is applied. The
higher the center of gravity the
more pronounced is the tendency.
The effect OF bralSing Is the same
as if the weight on the rear wheels
were reduced and that on the front
wheels increased by the same
lamount.
I Change Of Weight.
Thia change of weight is directly
proportional to the rate Of braking,
Aence the more forcibly two-wheel
brakes are applied, the less effec-
tive is the braking effect. But with
four.wheel brakes, the transfer OF
weight to the front increases the
braking effect on the front wheels
to the same extent that it decreases
that on the rear wheels.
For cars with two-wi1eel brakes,
the. braking efficiency, or maxi
mum deceleration, increases as the
percentage of weight on the rear
wheels is greater.

Three legal questions that are
likely to arise when a person Is
brought to trial for an accident are:
What is the shortest. distance
within which a car travelling at a
known speed can be stopped?
When car has been stopped
within known distance what was
its probable speed when the brakes
were applied? When the speed and
stopping distance are known, what
is the probability that the bralxing
equipment was in good condition
and was used to the full extent of
the drivers ability?
Deterioration Is Factor
The answer to each OF these
questions depends upon the max

THE VALUE OF A ROAD

The Lake Superior International

returns in increased valuations and

Land along the shores of Lake Super

$40 an acre are now selling at Sl0c
an acre and the end is not yet. Quite
recently tract of land on which a
tax of S16.S5 was paid last year was
sold for $4,000. A certain tract OF
rs acres was quoted to local party
this week at $1,000 and it is up to the
board of county commissioner to de-
wise some means of getting township
assessors along the shore to reassess
properties at their new values as a
means of adding to the tax revenue
of the county. This must be done this
coming year as real estate assess

Here's case that proves the fallacy
of township assessors at all. It is
about time that Lake county fall IN

which have abolished township as

ROLLER TOWELS BANNED.

Hotel inspectors have been ordered

who persist in using the roller towel
by w. A. Wittbecker, state hotel in

Use of the roller towel in any
building which is used by the public
is prohibited by order of the Mime
sofa State Board of Health. Violation
is punishable by fine of from $25 to
500 or a Jail sentence up to 80 days
or both, Mr.. Wittbecker said.
Recently the proprietor of a cafe al
Chisholm was sentenced to 10 days
in the city Jail for violation of this
order, Mr.. Wittbecker said.
"The use of the roller towel has
caused the spread of many infectious
diseases and every precaution will be
taken by the state to stamp out the
practice" he added.

STATE BOYS AND GIRLS
ARE INTERESTED in
COLT RAISING

Minnesota club leaders at Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, have just award
ed the honors in what is said to be
the first colt raising project for boys
and girls in this country.
Colt club members in eight Min
nesota counties finished the work by
showing their colts at their county
fairs, and reporting to their state
leader, T. A. Erickson. Seventy-five
boys and one girl were active mem
bers of colt clubs.
The contest, which was conducted
by the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice of the state university, was back
ed by the Minnesota Horse Breeders
Association which will give the first
place winner in each county free
trip to the international Livestock
Exposition, and the second place
winner in each county free trip to
Minnesota junior short course.
Winners Of first honors in the
different counties were: James Ryn-
ming, of Kittson county, Thomas
Coleman of Olmstead county, Armln
Kuehn of Redwood county, Floyd
Routh of Waseca county, Cyril Meyer
of Goodhue county, Ralph Juberial
of Nicollet county, Charles w. Stone
Of Washington county, and Roscoe
Gallagher of Murray county.
Harvey bankers, of Lake City, Wa
basha county, won first place in the
essay contest organized by the Horse
Association of America. Four other
Minnesota boys also won prize OF
SIS for their essays which will be
entered in the national contest cul-
minuating at the Royal Stock Show
at Kansas City. The production and
sale of horses in the community is
the theme for all essays.

STRONG TESTIMONY

Fourteen months ago j. A. (Jim)
Peterson, political writer for the St
Paul Daily News, was predicting, pri-
vately at least, that F. B. Olson
Farmer-Labor candidate for governor
would beat Ted Christensen, the
Republican candidate, to a fragile.
He changed his viewpoint just be-
fore the election but personally he
was friendly to the Olson candidacy
For that reason it is quite significant
when Jim fatty gives it as his opin-
ion, as he did in an article which
appeared in last Sundays News sur
veying the 1926 political horizon
that there will be nothing to it next
year-that Governor Christianson
will win the Republican nomination
in the primary and also the election
According to this political observer
who could have been classified as
none too friendly q year ago-Gov-
ernor Christensen "has grown stead
lily in popularity by reason of the
earnest and sincere efforts he has
made to bring about more efficiency
and greater economy in the admins
tration of state affairs" These eff
forts, according to Jim's observation
shave succeeded to a considerable de-
gree and are appreciated on the part
of the public in spite of all attempts
to juggle figures and discredit the
achievement"
Curiously enough, another writer
for the Sanity City News-Gus
Wollan, who covers the Capitol-has
been one of those guilty of practicine
"this juggling and attempt at dis
crediting in feature column which
he writes for the Sunday issue
thereby demonstrating that The
News is truly an independent paper
or, that its managing editor does not
consider it necessary to reconcile the
conflicting opinions of his two politi-
cal writer's.
Imagine the complications which
would have ensued if the makeup mar
had accidentally dropped this para.

last Sundays issue in Gus Wollan'S
section of the paper:

of My Colt" which he sent to the
state leaders office at University
Farm. This colt was grade Perch
eran named Bryan-"the slickest,
blacklist and finest little colt you
could wish to see," the boy writes.
"When the ST. Vincent fair came
around" continued the boy, "Bryan
was such a fine looking colt that
decided he should go into the fair.
Bryan and / rode in a democrat be-
hind Ford coupe We were enjoy
ing the ride immensely when a big
car came along and tried to pass US.
The bumper of the big car caught
the rear wheel of the democrat, and
before we could count to 10 Bryan
and l were lying in the ditch by the
side of the road. Poor Bryan had a
broken leg. So instead of going to
the fair and. running off with the
highest honors Bryan was hauled
back home in an old truck. We
bathed his leg in cold water many
times a day to prevent blood poison

is not much better"
