how many people are idle. but the number may be five million, or one eighth Of the population.
 The money loss to the country is already enormous. During the par tial tie-up Of 1921 it was estimated that the country lost between f5,- 600,o0o and E6,00O,o0O a day. Some think the present loss may double this figure, and even that estimate does not take into account the ulti- mate effect on industry. The various London transporta- tton or organizations. including the London General Omnibus company and all the underground electric systems, broadcast a call for Nolun- teers with a view to breaking the l transportation strike.
 As the day wore on, there was 2 slight increase in the Transportation facilities.

New Sales Record
For Graham Brothers

For the first time in the history of
Graham Brothers more than 1000 of
their trucks and motor coaches have
been delivered in a single week at re-
tall by Dodge Brothers dealers in the
united States and Canada. The rec
ORD or 1O41 during the week ended
July 81 follows closely the record of
S96 delivered during the week ended
July and is more than twice the
lgure for the best week last wear.
compared with the corresponding
week of 1925, when BAT were sold the
gain is 694 trucks or 200 per cent.
During five weeks ended July 81 de-
nVer1es OF trucks and motor coaches
totaled 1885 The increase over the
preceding five weeks was 1877 per
cent and over the five weeks ended
August l last var was 240S units or
l43 per cent. 1.-THE rapidly growing
demand for dependable transporta-
ton unit of 1-ton capacity" declares
James e. Mosher, of the Gardiner
Motor Co, local Dodge Brothers
dealer, "is evidenced by the increas-
ing ratio OF this capacity to the heav-
Ter trucks. 2lS9 or 53.6 per cent of
the total deliveries of Graham Broth
ers trucks and motor coaches during
July were of this capacity. The fact
mat prior to Introduction of the
G-Boy, Graham Brothers new 1-ton
truck, less than one third Of their
output was of that capacity and that
now over half are of that type shows
clearly the constantly increasing ap-
proVal OF this sturdy little truck"

S6OO,OOO,O 900 Saving
Through Fuel Economy

Now the statistician has turned to
the Overland Whippet and with his
sharp pencil has started to figure out
the economic advantages of this type
Of car. With approximately GOO of
these European type sedans and
coupes being delivered to owners
every day. and with the normal de-
sire of the new owner to keen a rec
ord Of what he is getting from his
gas tank in the way of miles, figures
are available from all parts of the
country.
They run as high as 80 miles to the
gallon over long distances. They
average around the 80 mile mark and
the statistician says that this is a
5000 increase over the average mile
age for other light cars.
Based on 100000 light cars now
running. with an average of 5000 to
10000 miles year as the total dis
lance covered, this means a potential
saving, when everyone is driving a
Whippet, of S600,000,000 in gas bills
alone.
Evenly distributed this would open
up a market for 100000 more Whip
pet cars out Of gas saving alone.

one approaching from the right is

The old rule gave the vehicle on the
right the right of way unless the
vehicle approaching from the left
first entered the intersection. It is
assumed. of course. that both vehicles
approach the intersection at approx
imately the same time.
The exception to this rule is that
vehicles entering a public highway
from a private road or driveway
shall yield the right of way to all
vehicles approaching on the highway.

ton of the density and character of
trafflc on the various state roads. 1t
is expected that the data obtained
will be of great value through af-
fording definite information upon
which to base future plans for i'm
proving the trunk roads within the
state and the interstate highways.
More questions are asked of the
truck driver. He is requested to tell
the nature and quantity of his load
at what kind of establishment it was
taken on, to what use it is to be put
and the weight of his truck. A sepa-
rate party of census men weighs all
loaded trucks.
This information when compiled
will give the state authorities an &C
curate picture of the commercial
traffic on the state roads. 1t will
show how much trucking is being
done by manufacturers and dealers
within the state and from other
states into New Hampshire and to
how great an extent farmers are
utilizing motor trucks to get their
produce to market. 1t will reveal
what roads need strengthening to
stand heavy traffic and how much
competition the trucks are giving
the railroads on long and short
hauls.
The motor bus is not overlooked.
Whether it Is independently owned
or operated by a railroad or street
railway, the number of its passen-
gers is noted on each trip. This IS
designed to help in showing just

how much this method OF passenger
transportation is being used.
The census takers for the most
part are college boys. They were
put through stiff examinations and
they have to live up to rigid require
ments. They must be courteous but
firm and their figures must be ac-
curate.
Personality counted heavily in
their selection. Many a driver
momentarily annoyed by the inter-
ruption of his journey has gone on
with a broad smile as a result of a
friendly or witty remark of the
census taker.
It's hard work for the boys but
they get a lot of fun out of it. They
are on the job ten hours a day, live
in tents, often cook their own meals
and are shifted by flivver from one
roadside station to another from day
to day. They make friends where
ever they go.
Truck drivers on regular routes
get to know the boys well. If they
are carrying foodstuffs and happen
to pass a census station at lunch
time they often insist on contributing
to the meal. 1t is purely a friendly
gesture, for they have no favors to
ask or receive.
The absent minded driver or the
one temporarily confused by the I'M
expected questioning afford the boys
frequent amusement One of these
