FAITHFUL OLD DOZEN HOLDS HIS
 OWN IN COMPETITION WITH MOTORS

appropriating the conveyance to carry away the booty.
 Nor Is the position of the horse whose mission Is to weave in and out among the seemingly chaotic traffic which clogs the piers and terminals in the busy daylight hours any less secure. Here 1t Is, in fact, tho horse champions assert, tho horse proves vastly superior to the motor truck and fills a position all Its own. One New York trucking firm alone op- crates $50 horses and reports them indispensable.
 Speed Not Essential
 The motor truck, representing a value of up to $s,ooo snatches up a load, and dashes away from a ware house for pier, The run is made in about five minutes and then comes wait. A long line of vehi- cles Is ahead, and the chauffeur must keep his engine running, nov ing maybe two feet, maybe three at a time. Finally he reaches the pier head, unloads and dashes away. The run has taken five minutes, and the truck has been almost idle, tied up in the traffic, for probably an hour.
 Motor trucks used in this way, trucking company officials have found, depreciate very rapidly. Not so the horse. He takes a longer time to make the trip, but once in line he stands contentedly moving q few feet forward at a time and in the end, gets his load to the pier head almost as soon as the motor truck. The cost of keeping the horse in line cannot be compared with the cost of keeping the motor truck in line, some companies assert.
 A not inconsiderable proportion of the local horse population continues to be comprised in the reduced but loyal line of "ansom cabs" which still doze on the sunny side of street near the parks. There are many members of the old regime who insist upon these vehicles for their afternoon outings, either from sentiment or because of the sopo- c-effect of the clump-clump echo of from -shod feet on the asphalt and the soothing contra st of sedate 10 miles an hour amid speeding taxis.

Found to Excel in Short
 Hauls in City, Also for ;. Milk and Ice Wagons <. Staging Comeback in  New. York.

New York, Sept. 2s F,-The le- s7ons who number the horse we'll up among the dumb friends of man and those who nGve experienced q twinge of regret over the thinning ranks of faithful equines on urban thoronghfares may take comfort from a survey just completed in New York city.
 Far from succumbing to the ever increasing pressure of motor-p pro- ;peled transport. Dobbin has held :his own here and even promises to stage comeback If the traffic con- 'zestion crisis becomes more acute. Holds His Own
 During the past five years, the number of horses In commercial use in New York has hung steadily around 10000. One local firm re- ports an average of 400 trades" a :day and spokesmen for special dis- :trlbuting agencies which have held almost exclusively to horse drawn wagons declare the prospect is rather for an increase than for diminishing that feature of their euipmeqnt,
 The wear and tear of frequent starts and the excessive cost of op. eration of large trucks which are held by traffic jams for considerable periods are factors quoted in Dob- bins favor. But, regardless of traf- fic conditions, he is declared by his champions to be supreme Tn such in- dustries as retail delivery of milk and ice,
 When the last serpenttne line of motors has been dissipated and the last traffic cop has gone from his "stop-go" standard, in that short silent space of time when the city hovers between darkness and dawn, and the canyon like streets yawn grim and specter-like, the horse comes into his own in the large city.
 Tons of meat and gallons Of milk are delivered every morning at the rate of a bottle and 2o-pound piece to a stop. The milkman carries perhaps dozen bottles at time as he goes from door to door He often gets ahead of his wagon. but the horse knows what is expected of him and follows his master down the street at slow, thoughtful. ambling pace which just fits in with the speed of the work. If the driver had to return to 8 motor truck each time. start it. to drive slowly only few feet, the delivery of milk would lie a very great problem, dairy conn., rany officials agree. The same s1t- ,iatior holds good in the delivery of ice. except that it is perhaps even $ower work. And so the horse, once Ihoi1ed to for speed is now valuable tt Gaurerot its sloHness. >- .-. 2 Recent exploits of the criminal SaSs Nave been rebounded to Dob- h"n's benefit.

THOSE INDIAN ROCKS

Apropos of the historic indian
Rocks, in the Susquehanna river,
near Bald Friar, an interesting
sketch of which appeared in our
issue of last week, Miss Verna
Grason, of this town, has several
excellent snap shots of the rocks
and their strange markings, that
she took this summer, which give
a very fine ''close up" of them.
The hieroglyphic markings on the
rocks were traced with white paint
or chalk, so that they show very
plainly in the Photographic prints.
The photos are of unusual interest
at this time, when the Indian Rocks
with their strange markings are be-
ing much discussed by historical
societies and an effort is being made
to save them from the flood waters
before the proposed big Conowingo
power dam is constructed.
