N. H. Road Urges
 Truck Hour Limit
Registration of Trucks for Hire and Ban on SleepIess
 Operators Sought in General Assembly

Regulations of trucks for hire, sought by the New Haven Rail- road from the present Connecticut General Assembly, will greatly aid public safety on the highways. it is shown in a brochure published by the railroad to explain the req sons why 1t believes trucks for hire should be placed under regulation similar to that which governs rail- ways and trucks and busses oper- ated by railroads.
 One measure indorsed by the railroad is designed to regulate the hours of service and working conditions of truck operators just as they are regulated on the rail- chure says: "This Is a matter of public safety and should be given attention just as 1t was found to be in the interests of public safety that anyone having anything to do with the operation of trains should be prohibited from working beyond reasonable number of hours at a stretch.
 "With the mounting toll of deaths and accidents, it seems strange that the questions are not oftener asked: How much sleep had the truck driver had? How long had he bene driving without rest? How long since he had his clothes off? It is in the public i'm terest from the safety viewpoint that this menace be removed by proper legislation which will pro- hibit operation of these large and heavy vehicles over the public highways. as a menace to the safety of every automobilist, un- less the operators of the vehicles have had proper periods of rest.
 Particularly do abuses of this nature grow rampant under con- ditions such as we have had for the past two or three years, when men are eager to get any kind of work. It is not at all unusual for two men to operate a truck night and day for week or more, with one man driving while the other obtain such rest as he can while the truck is in motion. Nor Is 1t at all unusual to start a driver out with a truck, single handed. to make a round trip which will

keep him on the go from 24 to 3G hours or longer. <.
 Tn the year 1881, 280 spersons were killed by accidents involving trucks on the highways of Con- necticut, Rhode Island and Massa chusetts, according to the figures of the various motor vehicle de- partments. Just how manyu addi- tional fatalities were caused indi- rectly by trucks, through crowd ing of other vehicle off theg road. through the obscuring of the view of operators of other vehicles, and other similar causes can only be surmised, but there is little -quess ton that 1t would send thu total deaths to a much higher fglNe.

Politicians at Baltimore See
minimum" Of Patronage;
Blame Tydings, RitChie

BALTIMORE, May 23.-Prac-
tical politicians of this city pre-
dict that only minimum" of
political patronage will be par
celed out in Maryland when the
national Administration gets
ready to satisfy the demands for
political favors.
These forecasts are based on
certain proconvention events and
episodes occurring before and
after the new Administration took
office.
Tydings Revolt Cited
They refer to Senator Tydings'
opposition to the Administrations S
fiscal policies and Governor
Ritchie's public statement op-
posing the Roosevelt plan in deal
ing with the national banking
emergency.
The States "big five" who will
make recommendations to the ma
tional leaders regarding the fill
ing of patronage posts in the
State are Governor Ritchie,
Mayor Jackson, of Baltimore
Senator Tydings, Howard Bruce,
Democratic national committee
man, and Frank A. Furst.
Lid" Still On
These recognized party leaders,
it is pointed out by the prognosti.
Gators, were not consulted, how,
ever. when appointments we're
made of Marylanders who have
received rewards from the ma.
tional leaders.
The patronage lid" is not to
be taken off for another month
or six weeks, it is expected, and
putting into effect Of the Ad-
ministration's economy program is
more than likely to reduce ma
terially the 700 Federal jobs listed
last January to be filled.

Senators Turn Attention to
Efficiency; Hastings Pushes
Civil Service Inquiry

Developments today affecting
the status of Federal employe.
IN Washington included the fol
lowing:
l. Government execu t ives,
confronted with the necessity
for saving $4o0,OO0,O00 during
the coming year, are finding
that proposed consultations do
not appear as feasible as they
had expected them to be.
2. The Senate members op-
posed to the apportionment
clause of the independent Of
fices bill feel that they had
better concentrate on combin-
ing efficiency and apportion-
ment in the clause providing
for dismissals, since they do not
believe they can knock out the
apportionment plan.
3. Representative William w.
Hastings CD of Nebraska
plans to carry through his in
Vestigation of the Civil Service
Commission to find why ap-
pointments have not been made
on a basis of apportionment.
Buaeu Chiefs Plagued
The reorganization program
now viewed as even more drastic
than had been generally accepted
is presenting real difficulties tc
bureau chiefs and department
heads, it was learned today. and
they are wondering just how they
can work the program out.
AS to apportionment, so many
Senators from job-hungry States
want that principle adopted in
dismissals, it appeared today, that
the best their opponents car
count on is a compromise, which
would include efficiency with ap-
portionment in making dismis-
sails, it appeared today, that the
best their opponents can count
on is compromise, which would
include efficiency with apportion-
ment in making diSmissals, and
thereby save the jobs Of more
efficient District, Maryland, and
Virginia residents.
Good Times Echo
The Hastings investigation ap-
parently would cover the same
ground as that inspired some
years ago by former Senator Hef,
lin, when it was shown that Dis
trict employees were over quota be-
cause in good times they were
willing to take the poorer paid
jobs here for which there we're
no candidates in many States.

Many Improvements Are
Made; Eight Types of
Body Styles.

After two years of success in the
fine car field, the Marmon Sixteen,
powered by the famous 200-horse
power, all-aluminum engine, again
is displayed at the Indianapolis au-
tomcbile show.
This car is the 1888 series, intro
duced late in the fall with many
improvements and ref1nements in
appearance, comfort and mechan-
ical construction.
The 1888 Marmon Sixteen, built
on a wheelbase of las inches, is
available in a complete line of Gus
tOm-built bodies by LeBaron. 1t is
offered at a list price of several
hundred dollars below the previous
model. This saving, according to
MarmOn officials, Is made possible
only by the present low cost of
quality materials.
Both mechanically and in exterior
appearance, the Marmon Sixteen is
one Of the most radically different
cars in the field today. Developing
a maximum Of 200 actual brake
horse power, its engine is the only
aluminium power plant on the
American market.
1t has such features as steel CYL
inders, case-hardened on the inside,
making them practically wear
proof, and aluminium bronze valve
seats. Through advanced and sci
entiflc design, together with pro-
nounced savings in weight through
out the entire car, each horse power
in the Marmon Sixteen engine is
called upon to pull only about twen-
ty-siX pounds Of car weight, COM
pared to thirty-f1ve to forty-five
pounds in the average automobile
In appearance also the Marmon
Sixteen departs from conventional
motor car design, particular empha-
sis being laid on unity of design, ex-
IRENE stream-lining and both front
and rear end construction that con-
ceals all unsightly chassis parts and
mechanism.

cars, these including slanting wind
Shields Slanting V-type radiator,

cally in the drivers line of vision,
and radiator filler cap located under
the hood.
Improvements in the 1888 series,
Marmon Sixteen have enhanced in
terror comfort ard exterior appear
ance as we'll as adding quality and
distinctiveness throughout.
The Marmon Sixteen now is avail
able in eight custom body styles,
these being the f1ve-passenger
sedan, seven-passenger sedan, seven
passenger limousine, passenger
coupe, passenger convertible
coupe, five passenger close coupled
sedan. ve-paSsenger convertible
sedan and five passenger, two-door
coupe. Prices range upward from

There are forty individual models,
comprising four distinct groups. The
eight cylinder cars have 135-horse
power.
There are two wheelbase lengths
-136 and 1879 inches. The longer
wheelbase is used to accommodate
the seven passenger body types.

Model 1926 cars have engines of
160horse power and are mounted
on chassis of 1876 and 139 inches.
MODELS 1912 and 1,247 are mount
ed on wheelbases of 142 and lat
inches.
In general design and construc-
ton, it is a companion power plant
of the smaller twelve and develops
175-horse power
All cars in each Of these groups
are equipped with the new auto
matte power brake. which, according
to its designers, bridges at one step
the gap that has been constantly
widening between the forces of &C
celeration and declaration.
Operates on Oil Cushion
While engine output has been
steadily increased during recent
years, braking power has been rela-
lively at standstill. The driver
at will releases braking force by
merely depressing a foot pedal
which operates as easily as an or
binary accelerator pedal.

necessity for valve adjustment and
to insure a degree of quiet action

DEPENDABILITY IS
OLDSNOBILE AIM

Dependability was given as the
most desired feature of their cars
by a group of Oldsmobiie owners.
If an owner can depend on his
car under all conditions, it gives
him an ease of mind that is worth
more than money was the con-
sensuS expressed by many of these
Oldsmobile owners. But in addition
to this intangible benefit is the
economical aspect.
'Dependability in an automobile
means a direct saving in service, for
a car that is built to be dependable
requires only reasonable care though
mileage may mount into the tens of
thousands.
