CAR
FIELD BROADENED
Increased Use of Trucks Is
Shown, With 1929 Gain
ForeSeen.

A motor minded public, profiting by
every development of the automobile, Is
benefiting equally by increased use Of
the motor truck and motor coach, and
many factors that point to the con-
tinued high volume in passenger car
production in 1929 also apply to the
commercial car field. Production figures
Tor the year should be the highest in
the history Of the industry. according to
Howard E. Sneathen. director of Dodge
Brothers truck sales.
The utility of the commercial cas-
which alone determines sales, has been
Slgnincantly advanced by numerous en-
glneerlng improvements. Four-wheel
brakes, four-speed transmissions. power
tul siX-cylinder engines and other adj
vancementS in construction as developed
during the last year are indicative of
improved design that insures new con-
ceptions OF speed, dependability and
economy in the movement of merchan-
disc. Hundreds of body and chassis
types insure the adaptability Of trucks
to all transportation needs.
The sale of approximately 10000
units last year was concrete evidence
of the practical and desirable features
of truck operation.
Directly or indirectly, the public Is
becoming more and more dependent on
facilities offered by trucks, delivery
cars and motor coaches. The newspaper
purchased at the corner, food, home
furnishings. clotheS-in fact, almost
every article has been handled SOME
where by motorized delivery.
Paved roads and widening projects
have increased the utility and profitable
operation of trucks for all concerned.
The coming year will see the growth OF
the motor truck terminal idea, where
merchandise can be transferred and dis
tributed speedily for intercity destina-
tons. Progress in this direction was
accomplished during the year on a scale
comparable to the growth of terminals
OF central stations for motor coaches.
Flexibility Of truck routes, permitting
direct carrier service between remote
localities and trade centers, has resulted
in untold benefit for the city consumer
and the country producer of foodstuffs
ana the country consumer and the city
producer Of finished products.
The utility of trucking will not be
confined to short hauls requiring a few
hours time in the future. Recently an
enthusiastic owner reported that his
two-ton truck made a run of 1,255 miles
in 56 hours and SO minutes. The trim
was from Ypsilanti. Mich, to Orlando,
Fla, and the truck carried a load of
household furniture. Transcontinental
motor coach lines now operating
through from coast to coast indicate the
possibilities of long-distance passenger
transportation ION rubber" So rapidly
have bus lines developed that they out
number rail lines in many cities, while
the volume of passenger and freight
traffic daily dependent on motor vehicle
transportation steadily increases.
There is every indication that 1929
will see an increased truck and motor
coach consciousness on the part of the
public as the great possibilities of these
modes OF transportation are realized.

 According to the police, Yankow- skas and Mrs. Cornwall have been much in each others company for some time, although she claims that she lives with her husband.

 After the cases were disposed of, Attorney David l.. Nair asked Judge Saxe to place Mrs. Cornwall on pro- bation as she did not have sufficient money to pay the fine and costs. The request was granted.

 ''The accident merely proves that you can't plan to do anything and he sure of doing it. This upsets all of my plans, but I am going to stick by the ship.
 '.I did not know we were in great danger and I don't believe yet that we were. No one ran around the ship like you have often pictured people would do at such . moment No one told me we were in trouble and did not know we were. But I admit did not enjoy the ships pumping much. Dr. Eckener was re-

Just Like Hotel

Marseilles, France. May 1s N1 (saturday)-Three Americans who were on the Graf Zeppelin mo- tored here early this morning and chartered an airplane to take them to Paris at daybreak.
 They are George N. Grouse. syra- cuse. N. Y.: Alfred s. Masury, New York engineer; and Maurice Y. Ma than, New York diamond merchant. Grouse and Nathan will hurry from the Le Bourget flying field to Paris to catch the boat train at 11:45 .. m. for Cherbourg, Tonight they ex- pect to board the liner Aquitania for home.
 MT. Grouse said that in spite of it's troubles the Zeppelin was run just like a hotel" He was . passenger on the airship on its trip from New York to Germany last year.
 "1t wasn't bit uncomfortable '' he added, except for a little while this afternoon, when we seemed to be drifting out of control. but al soon as the wind calmed down il was all right again although we had only one engine running. It was like a summer resort all the time. Ev- erbody was busy writing letters and post cards or swapping stories.
 Even the monkey got along all right. but she wanted to sleep and couldn't because everybody wanted to play with her all the time. ''Tf) only trouble today was. we could not get any answers to our radio mes. sages to the French asking about landing places.
 We had a swell lunch. caviar and anchovies, cold ham and a lot oi other fine things.
 '"The only thing we had tonight were sandwiches, but they were good ones. We didn't have any trouble in landing. The trouble came latel when the chief of police sent word over to the hotel in Toulon that ht wanted to see our passports. We'll. h. had already seen them at the land ing field but an hour and a hal later he came over and looked q them again.
 'The American woman, Mrs. Mar, Pierce (the only woman on the voy age) seemed to enjoy the trip a lot So did everybody. but a lot of thos, letters and post cards that we drop ped at Barcelona won't ever be de livered. They scattered like a buncl of goose feathers"

markable during the storm"
 Mrs. Pierce was all smiles teddy. just as shs was yesterday whom she descended from the ship. The pas sengers and members of the crew could not hide their admiratien for tho plucky spirit of the only woman passenger aboard tho Graf zsppe- lin.
 ,"You ask me" Mrs. Pierce said. If I didn't have . single moments emotion and several fiip-Aeps of tho heart. assure you. although it may not sound normal that I never felt anything. Al . matter of fact yeu'll have to admit there never was any danger. Az long as we remained up in the air we were all right. I don't know how I would have felt had we been forced to land Elsewhere than at an airport. ., :,
 "As to what happened can't say. I'll have to leave that to the ex- perts. But they told Us not to say anything. 70 doubt that you will get much even out of the crew."
 Doesn't Forget Lipstick
 Mrs. Pierce lent . touch of gaiety, to the landing scene last night when she stopped in her cabin lons enough to use her lipstick and to adjust q vagrant curl under her neat little hat.
 She was assisted down the ladder by 2 German passenger. who sought to compliment her in broken Eng fish by saying:
 Very nice bravery. Miss."
 The remark brought laughter from Mrs. Pierce. the first real laughter probably heard from any of the passengers since the long ship trouble began.
 Mrs. Pierce's firat thought afterl landing was food. And she got it-l big beef-steak dinner.
 New Yark, May 1s (UP)-Henry J. Pierce. New York broker and husband of the only woman pas- senger aboard the Graf Zeppelin. has given up all attempts to persuade ! his wife to abandon her plan to re- turn to the United States on the dirigible should Commander Hugo | Eckener decide to make another start.
 When informed that his wife had I expressed her intention of sticking | by the ship" Pierce told the United Press:
 T am surprised and wish she would not do it, but she must do as she thinks best. think any hus- band would feel as I do."

10 V8teuCo 0so @0 0OCl00 nc W0Vlo have to land somswhsrs In France. pr. Eckener began te drop hand wrttte,. notes to the ground stating his intention to land at some con- venient air port. Some of the notes were found: somo were carried away by the winds and lost.
 The French authorities imnedl- ately notified all aiFports in the vi- 'cinity. aa well as the port hele. to be in readiness. Crews were mobi. liked. The ship continued to dance eraziIy in the winds. Dr. Eckener continued to drop notes. asking that troops be sent to all available dromes.
 The ship circled near Valence for some time, fighting headwinds. Then Air Minister Laurent Eynac sent Eckener the radioed advice to travel if possible. to Toulon. and land beg fore dark.
 The Graf Zeppelin drifted toward Toulon, its motors apparently stop ped. Dr. Eckener kept in constant touch with the air ministry.
 People in towns along the way saw the Graf Zeppelin tossed about in the sky like toy balloon. Many feared the airship might be broken by the gale and crash to the ground. Airship safety Doubted
 London. May 1s N,-Press com mentators drawing a moral from failure Of the Graf Zeppelin's trans- atlantic venture agreed today that the efficacy of big airships for long distance transhortation was still, far from demonstrated. Some writers even doubted if it ever would. and expressed the belief that the future of air service rests entirely with the airplane.
 Dr. Eckener's courage, persever- ance, and skill were lauded but it was contended. there had been no real progress in airship navigation in the past decade.
 The Zeppelin'a misadventure has added the spice of hope and anxiety to the approacrtrs trials of the Erit- ish 4-1o0 and the R-10l.
 End Considered Fortunate
 Berlin. May IS N@The dramatic end of the Graf Zeppelin's attempted flight to America was regarded here today as a lucky happening under the circumstances. It was pointed out. however. that the Graf Zeppelin, with disabled motors still mad cos. siderable possibilities as a free bal loon.
 There was . general agreement that Dr. Eckener took the wisest course in making a forced landing. in view of the perilous situation. The Morning Press paid him considerable tribute for ''an exhibition of great strength of will against overwhelm- ing odds"
 The press as whole expressed It. self that German aeronautical sci ence would overcome the temporary setback and that the Zeppelin would still carry out its miss of bridging the ocesn.
 Ihere were many expressions of appreciation of French aid in the dirfstble's mishap. . single dissent Ing note being struck by the anti French Deutsche Zeilting which saw fit to recall the alleged "cavasse, treatment" by French authorities of a Zeppelin crew which made a fore ed landing near the French fortress at Luneville shortly before ths World War. The paper added that Dr. Eckener had better look out in case he offends French susceptibili- ties.
