Usefulness Of Trucks
Shows Large Increase

According to the best figures obtain
able, the number of motor trucks
owned by New York farmers increased
from $3.50 in 1920 to 36,74S in 1926.
A bulletin by C. w. Gilbert, recently
published by the New York state agri-
cultural experiment station, says the
increase in farm-owned motor trucks
has been exceedingly rapid in New
York.
Seven Main Points.
This bulletin points out that the
farmer who is considering the pur-
chase of truck should ponder seven
main points:
The first is the present and prob
able amount of hauling to be done.
The average cost of hauling one ton
was 1872 cents; yet trucks which
hauled less than 500 ton-miles had an
average cost of operation, exclusive of
the cost of the driver, Of 431 cents
for each ton-mile; on the other hand,
trucks that hauled more than 1000
ton-miles had an average cost of 10
cents.
The second point to be considered
is the possibility of hiring other farm
owners to do the hauling at lower
cost. Since commercial trucking has
developed rapidly, the bulletin says
that farmers who have a relatively
small amount of hauling to be done
may well consider hiring trucks. 1t is
pointed out that depreciation, interest
on investment license, insurance and
storage costs continue whether the
truck is working or idle.
A comparison should also be made
between the costs of hauling with
trucks and with horses. In one study
upon which the bulletin was based
the average cost for a ton-mie of
hauling with trucks was 2S.S cents as
compared with an average total cost
of 66.4 cents for each ton-mile with
horses.
Improved Roads Best.
Hauling on improved roads is de-
cidedly cheaper than hauling on dirt
roads, and trucks used exclusively on
improved roads lost only five days
use, because of snow and mud, as COM

Negligent Backing Is
Cause of Accidents

The negligent backing of autOmo-
biles is prolific cause of traffic acct
dents. 1t is point on which both mo-
florists and pedestrians need to exer-
else considerable caution.
There is perhaps no cause of traffic
accidents which is so much the result
of carelessness as the backing of an
automobile. The motOrist who puts
his gears in reverse and moves back
ward without assuring himself that no
one is in the way is not prompted by
a vicious impulse. He is just thought
less, but it is type of thought
lessness which is fraught with grave
danger
Analysis of the state of mind of
such driver probably will show that.
because his car is moving in a back.
ward direction, he does not look upon
it's movement as being particularly
dangerous. He certainly would not
start ahead without satisfying himself
that the way was clear.

Auto Deceleration Depends
on Proper Brake Efficiency

Declaration is dependent on the
efficiency of the brakes. Acceleration
is dependent on the reserve power of
the engine.
With the increased traffic conditions
of today quick deceleration and ac-
celeration are paramount requisites
of the modern car.
Good deceleration, according to Hec-
tor Rabezzana, spark plug engineer,
is attained by keeping the brakes, es-
pecially the front ones, in good work
ing order and well balanced. This Is
particularly important when driving
on a slippery pavement, as it elimi-
mates side swerving and minimizes
traffic mishaps.
Good acceleration can be improved
if spark plugs and breaker contact
points are in good working order.
Too wide a gap in spark plugs or
breaker contact points may cause the
engine to miss, preventing the speedy
pickup that the modern car is capable
of. This is why plugs and breaker

AUTOMOBILE HINTS

An automobile hardly ever turns
over without making some of its oc-
cupantS nervous.
1t is also seldom that screeching
brakes win any complimentary re-
marks about a car.
A loose main bearing produces a
heavy noise. A connecting rod bear
ing that needs attention usually makes
a sharp, slapping noise.
There were approximately 100 IA
talfties. not including grade crossing

the most wonderful polo player Amer

trophy in 1886, and it had remained
in that country until this famous
quartette got together and went for it.
When the team left it looked almost
hopeless, but by magnificent play they
astounded the British and took the
first contest. Then came the second
one of the hardest fought and most
brilliantl.' played in history. Our great
Quartette was in magnificent form ;
their ponies all that could be demand
ed and the game drew the most color
full crowd ever assembled at such an
event in that country. with royalty
and nobility crowding the front boxes.
Imbued with stirring spirit, the
Americans went after everything and
gave England startling exhibition of
speed, riding, team work and indi-
vidual brilliance They got lead and
they held it through the first period.
And then came the last period. Sud-
denly in the midst of all the uproar,
fight and dash, like bolt from the
sky came the thought to Milburn that
America was the winner.
1T came to me with such a sudden
ness that whirled my pony alongside
Harry Whitney and said:
"'By George, Harry, we have got
them licked. No matter what comes
they can't score enough points to
beat u.s.
"And let me fell you now that I
experienced such a thrill as l have
never had since nor ever expect to
have. 1t was gloriously inspiring. 1t
all came so quickly, we had been play
ing so fiercely, we had not had a
chance to think of anything, that 1t
seemed like bolt from the clouds
and it filled me with supreme joy.
II don't know what the score was
at the time, but it was about the mid
die of the last half that this idea hit
me. We won the game s to finally
and brought the trophy home"
This interview was given me in the
offices of Mr.. Milburn, who is a law
yer on Wall street. And as his
thoughts drifted back to that day a
smile of great satisfaction settled over
the rugged features of this fine, well
set-up gentleman. A feeling of like
pleasure spread to me and was glad
that America had such men as Deve-
reuX Milburn. They are fine lot.

pared with an average of thirteen
weeks lost by trucks used exclusively
on dirt roads.
Other possibilities to be considered
are those of obtaining wider choice
of markets. through truck transporta-
ton and of adding to the farm income
by increasing the business to include
a cash crop which can be marketed
with the added facilities for hauling
afforded by a truck. The bulletin says
that the number of farm motor trucks
will continue to increase.

ing the question Of farm trucks may

by writing to the office of publication

quest Of f10O0 to the city of Philadel-

his money will help to support-an in

of the kind in which Franklin would

philadelphia is starting to give Ben
jamin Franklin that memorial to
which his great career, his many
achievements and his services to this
city entitle him. Although in regard
to Franklin it can truly be said that
he not only belongs to America but TO
the whole world, the city of Philadel-
phia has a particular claim to him, so
it is eminently fitting that Americans
who would honor his memory should
go to the old Quaker city to pay their
homage at shrine erected in his
memory, for more than three score
years of his long life were intimately
connected with that city,
"Whoever did more for a city than
Franklin did for Philadelphia ?" asks
one Of the contributors to the SYM
postum which comprises the book,
1.-THE Amazing Benjamin Franklin"
published last year by the Frederick
A. Stokes company under the auspices
of the Philadelphia chapter of the
Sons of the American Revolution. He
then answers that question thus: "He
caused the city to be paved he invent
ed better type of street lamp for
lighting the city; and he organized the
first street cleaning. More than this,
he reorganized the Anticipated city
watch and caused the city TO be eff
GENTLY policed, and he established the
first engine company to protect the
city from fire. More than this. he es-
tablished there the first academy, the
first library and the first hospital"
Some of these institutions still stand
in Philadelphia as monuments to his
genius. Perhaps the proudest of all
these is the University of Pennsyl-
yania, which grew from the College
of Pennsylvania, established as the
result of his publication in 1749 of
Proposals relating to the Education
of Youth in PENNSYLVANIA" Another is
the American Philosophical society.
which grew out of the Junto, club
which he organized among his ac-
quaintances for their mutual improve

the North American continent, the Lii
brary Company of Philadelphia, is
still in existence, as is the Pennsyl-
vania hospital (also the first Of it's
kind in America) which he founded in
1851.
And in Christ church burying

Fifth and Arch streets, Philadelphia

definite announcement as to the

at which he told of the plan to erect
great museum, costing $5,OOO,O00, on
the site opposite Logan Circle, tract
of land conservatively valued at
$3,OOO,0OO, which has been leased from
the city for 80 years at 81 a year.
The Franklin institute, which since
1925 has been working toward the de-
velopment of museum of the modern
sciences like the great Deutsches mu-
scum in Munich, is cooperating with
the Franklin memorial movement,
using its century-old collections of
books, mechanical models and historic
documents as the basis for the larger
collection to be housed in the COM
pleted museum.
The memorial, which will have
floor area of about 100000 square feet,
will be three stories in height. The
structure will house many evidences of
Franklin's greatness, and exhibits of
the progress of the nation in mechan-
zeal arts and sciences. A feature of
the first floor will be the great Zeiss
planetarium, showing an artificial sky,
the sun, moon, planets and 1900 fixed
stars, each precisely where it belongs
and each with. its proper relative
brightness.
This floor also will contain a cham
Der devoted to a graphic description
of underground and undersea work,
great exhibition hall, auditorium,
court of honor and exhibits showing
the progress of mankind in the devel-
opment of electrical communication,
water supplies. railroad transporta-
ton, physics and chemistry.
A heroic statue of Franklin will oc-
cupy the center of the great rotunda.
The upper floors will contain astro-
nomical observatories, engineering ex-
hibitions, industrial plants and pro-
cesses, models of ships and aircraft
and research library.
DR.. Howard McClenahan, secretary
of the Franklin institute, has ex-
planned what the museum will mean
as an institution for the advancement
of learning in these words:
There will be no hands Off signs
around. There will be no exhibits
held captive in plate-glass cases, but
rather what will be there will be in

spiration of ambitious young minds,
where everything will be comprehend

exhibits are to be so displayed that
they will encourage investigation and
arouse the curiosity of youth to see
what makes the wheels go round

themselves"

conceded to be one of the classiest in
baseball. Needless to relate, such

Tiny Chaplin. who in midseason

good ball for the weak San Antonio
Indians of the Texas league, expressed
his appreciation of the Giants infield
in the following classic:

San Antonio infield turns potential
