 The "lesson" lasted ten minutes. As an effective method of classroom instruction. the demonstration was said to have proved successful in- novation.

going over there with their scenery
in trucks a saving of $36 could be
made and two landings of the scenery
could be avoided. On the Saturday
night in question it was after the
midnight hour when the two large
trucks were loaded and started for
the Maryland city. On the other side
of Laurel the road was being repaired
and a detour was necessary. Going
a mile or>two down the new road, the
trucks were confronted with a tunnel
and before they could get through
they had to be unloaded and then re-
loaded again, so that it was daylight
when they reached their destination.
The two landings of the scenery
were not saved and it took consider
