MAKING TRUCKS
MAKE MONEY

To operate motor trucks eff
GENTLY is to operate them profitably.
Modern trucks are characterized by
the fact that they are business In
vestments and must therefore return
dividends in time and cash. Running
trucks is a matter Of business eff
cheney.
To secure the greatest returns
from them, the operator should OBJ
serve four general rules, says the
current Autocar Messenger. These
rules have been worked out Of long
and carefully analysed experience.
The subjects they cover are drivers,
overlooking, repairs and accounting.
The human element, or the drivers,
should be selected with great care.
Remember, you are choosing a man,
ager for an investment Of several
thousand dollars. Insist on refer
ences and Investigate them, and
take married men when possible.
Have them devote some time daily
to lubricating and tightening up the
truck. Pay them. full standard wage

represented the elimination Of a year

1000 Cars Daily
The new factory is being fooled
up for a production of $50 cars daily
for the present. The plant will have
an ultimate maximum capacity Of
LOCO cars a day. Expansion will be
made as quickly as possible due to
the tremendous demand for the new
Pantiac Six cars which were an

of the two assembly lines will shortly
nave production output of 40 cars
an hour.
The fruits o. 1.-The $15, 200, 900 oak

are beginning to be seen in larger
output which has just been started.
The March production of Oakland

"SNOWNOBILE"
IS CHEVROLET

Faced with the necessity Of max
ing long trips through a territory
frequently covered with snowdrifts
20 feet deep and where temperatures
often hover around So degrees below
zero, Charles Surrnll, of the firm of
M. Surrell & Son, Chevrolet dealers
at Newberry, Mich, has constructed
a novel Chevrolet "snowmobile, I"
utilizing a Chevrolet motor and
chassis.
The front end Of the queer-Iooking
vehicle, which attracts unusual at
tention wherever 1t appears in the
snow-covered upper peninsula, is
fitted at the front end with wooden

skis, attached to the regulation
Chevrolet axle and steering knuckles.
The car is easily handled despite
the heavy snow drifts and the aver
age depth of 80 inches Of snow en-
countered in his daily travels. Mr..
Surrell says. The rear end of the
car Is fitted, with Two sets of Chevro-
let wheels, set tandem style, over
which an endless tractor belt equip.
ped with flanges operates.
So powerful is the special tractor
equipment when powered with the
standard Chevrolet motor that Mr..
Surrell has often been called upon
to tow heavy cars out OF snowdrifts
where they have become hopelessIy
stalled. The extenive alterations re.
CURED to transform the Chevrolet
into a snowmobile were all made in
the service station of M. SurrelI &
Son. The Chevrolet motor had al
ready put in four years of active
service on a Chevrolet touring car
before 1t was utilized for special
winter service, Mr.. Surrell says.

THREE TIRE FACTORS

There are only three factors
which govern the cost per mile Of
tire operation. The first is the
quality of the tire; the second, the
conditions of operation, and the
third, the care Of the tire by the
owner. In order to cut down the
cost Of their mileage, all three fac
tors must be regarded as important.
1t is no benefit to buy the best
tires obtainable,. put them on car,
and then forget about them. Watch
for small cuts, bruises, pieces of
metal and other foreign matter in
tires. Slight defects such as these,
II unattended to, will cause serious
trouble.

Rod. These two devices pay espe-
cially well. Occasionally follow the

drivers against speeding and reck-
less driving.
Those rules will take care Of one
Of the most difficult elements in

other rules remain to be explained.

Shortage Is Feared.

the Southern territory and then direct
its movement North as the crops
ripen, but some fears have been eX-
pressed that in Minnesota and North
and South Dakota there will be

of the fact that the harvesters gath

PRESIDENT FEARS
LABOR SHORTAGE
Urges Increased Effort to
Supply Harvest Hands to
Western States.
By tha Associated Press.

By tina Associated Press.
President Coolidge has written Sec
rotary Davis of the Labor Department
asking that an increased effort be
made to supply the seasonal demand
for harvest labor in the West.
While Acting Secretary Husband OF
the department declined to make pun
lie the executive communication, IL
was said that Mr.. Coolidge foresaW
the possibility of exceptionally large
crops and felt that the Labor Depart
ment, which controls the Government
employment service. should take every
precaution of preventing a possible
shortage of harvest labor.
Machinery Gain Shown.
Husband said he had communicated
with George +. Tucker Of the employ
ment service at Kansas City, and labor
agents had been urged to redouble
efforts TO care for the situation.
In preliminary studies made some
time ago by the employment service
for its harvest labor campaign in the
Western Grain States it was found
that in the more southerly grain-groW-
ing States, particularly in Kansas, the
farming community has extensively
increased its harvesting machine
equipment. The immediate erect OF
this has been to reduce the antlcl-
pated requirements for outside labor,
In Kansas. where the employment
service ordinarily figured it necessary
to provide % 900 workers from out
side the State, the increased use of
the combine harvester-thresher has
this year reduced the anticipated
number of outside workers required
10 about $4,000.
