LIFE'S TEST.

If pain and sorrow must come, if
dreams must be shattered; if ambi-
tions. must go unrealized, if service
is not always repaid; if you cannot
always spell happiness, if faith can
not always see the answered prayer;
if one must go through these things
and actually be tried as silver is tried
to bring out its purseness and fine
ness-then I ask: Let me come thro-
ugh it all with SO sterling character,
SO fine and shining a countenance,
that whoever looks upon it may see
the tender smile Of God reflected
there, and that they, looking upon it,
may the more bravely face life's test
ing times

Upon Trucks
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. Preparing for the
annual convention of the N. c. Truck
Owners Association in Charlotte, Oc-
tober 14-15, officials of the associa-
ton have circularized members with
information showing the tremendous
growth of the truck transportation
industry in North Carolina.
It is cited, for instance, that dur
ing 1887 tracks alone paid in gasoline
taxes an amount in excess of the total
taxes paid by all other forms Of ..om-
mercial transportation in this State. !"
Not only that but the trucks paid
in gasoline taxes, according to the
date, an amount greatly in excess of
the total amount of money spestt on
construction and maintenance Of the
State highway system of primary
roads that year."
Trucks paid into the State trea sury
in 1897 a total of $6,338,052 in gaso-
line taxes, according to the date, ar
amount greatly in excess of the to-
tai amount of money spent on con-
struction and maintenance of the
State highway system of primary
roads that year"
Trucks paid into the State treasury
in 1897 a total of $6,338,O52 in gasoline
taxes and $3,157, ,632 in State license
tag fees, it is pointed out.
On the employment side Of the pic
ture, it is pointed out that last year
motor transportation provided jobs
for 81 1856 persons in North Carolina
Of this number 5O,O25 were employed
as truck drivers (not including farm
trucks), 9,275 were employed on
State and Federal roads, PLAZA were
employed in sales and servicing ope-
rations, and 1882 were employed in
the manufacture of motor vehicle
parts and tires and in the petroleum
refining industry.
Statistics are presented to show
that there are 1929 communities in
North Carolina dependent entirely
upon motor vehicles as their sole
means of passenger and freight trans
portation. #

These tycoons fear that higher
wages paid in many other lines of
industry will eventually force them
to pay their cotton mill operatives
more than they are now paying.
AS a result, a campaign may be
expected in opposition to advertising
appropriations for the next biennium.
The cotton people are reported to be
planning a hard fight against con-
tinuation of the industrial part of the
advertising program, at any rate; if
not against it all.

TRANSIT REVENUES
WELL MAINTAINED
Private Auto Giving Way to
Urban Systems, Editor
Finds.
Epecial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, April 6.-Transit reve-
nues have been affected to only .
slight extent during the present recess
sion. For the first three months OF
1888 the Transit Journal Revenue In
dicator has averaged only AZ per cent
below the same period Of 1887. while
the index of general business activity.
as published by Business Week, has
averged nearly Is per cent below.
The general business decline in 1882,
however, produced drop in transit
revenue of about is per cent. or more
than three times the decline which the
transit industry is now experiencing.
The reasons for this difference, ac-
cording to John A. Miller, editor of
Transit Journal, are: % The large VOL
ume Of w. P. A. activity now in prog
ress has served to cushion the effect of
reduced industrial activity so far as
transit is concerned, 90 the earlier de-
preston permanently eliminated many
weak opera tions and the industry as a
whole has been in healthier condition
to withstand the present recession, 90
and more important has been the lack
Of expansion of transit's chief compet-
itor, the private automobile.
Not so long ago." says Mr. Miller,
"the production of cheap automobiles
and the sale Of still cheaper second
hand vehicles were regarded as serious
threats to the future of transit. Today
the sales of new automobiles are run
ming about 40 per cent below last
year, and the sales of used automobiles
are progressing so slowly that a pro-
posal has been made for the Govern
ment to purchase millions of them, to
be converted into scrap metal and used
for armaments.
ITO say that the automobile satura-
tion point has been reached would be
a rash prediction. However. the diff
culties connected with automobile use
in cities are multiplying. New York
has at last come to drastic restriction
OF parking on numerous important
streets. In Baltimore grand jury has
recommended that all downtown park
ing be prohibited. Washington and
many other cities are moving in the
same direction.
Without doubt the private automo-
bile will continue to be widely used for
travel, but it appears likely that the
future trend in urban transportation
viii be from the private automobile to
the transit vehicle, rather than from
the transit vehicle to the automobile
as it has been in the past. More than
ever, therefore, it Is evident that tran
sit must go on"

DEMAND PILES UP
Accumulation to Be Filled
in Future Cited by
Brookmire Report.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Behind the
current statistics Of industrial curtail-
rent can be seen a growing accumu-
lation of demand to be filled in the
future, according to the Brookmire
Forecaster.
The very sharpness Of production
curtailment has a favorable signifi-
canoe, inasmuch as 1t helps to correct
the inventory problem. AS an example,
shirts, pillowcases and the multitude
Of other products made from cotton
are not being currently produced at
anywhere near the rate at which they
are being bought and worn by ultimate
customers.
The rate at which motor cars have
been produced so far this season Is well
below replacement needs, according to
the Brookmire estimates. Since the
tremendous backlog built up by the
long depression Of the earl 1930s was
not wholly filled in the recovery to
1887, 1t is a fair assumption that a
large volume Of demand waits to be
satisfied whenever buyers have the in
come and the courage.
During the winter the industry has
been severely handicapped by conges-
ton Of stocks in dealers hands, par
ticularly of used cars. Joint dealer and
manufacturer efforts to correct this
evil are being made so as to facilitate
new car sales in the active spring
season.
That the easier financing terms Of
the recently enacted housing bill are
exerting stimulus Is evidenced by the
numerous applications for mortgages
and the rise in building contracts
Here, too, there is demonstrated a
backlog of need for residences. The
reduced level of costs, compared with
last year, should help to translate
some of this into real demand.
