DEMAND FOR MOTOR
TRUCKS IN THE SOUTH
IS INCREASING DAILY
I'. ,1. Titus, who has just completed a
tour through the Southern states to es
tablish dealers for Aleo trucks and cars
in this territory, reports that "the pros
pects for motor trucks in the Southern
states are extremely bright.”
“The cotton crops have been unusual
ly good," continued Mr. Titus. "Both
those of the early season and the pres
ent crops are setting a record. The
only drawback the Southerner has had
to contend with is in the delivery of the
cotton to tiie mills and to railroad de
pots. This has caused most of the
Southerners to become deeply interest
ed in the motor truck.
"The truck offers an unusual oppor
tunity to the Southern business man.
for during the last part of th* month of
December and during January and Feb
ruary his horses and mules are often
idle. This brings up one of the strong
est points in favor of the motor truck—
when left Idle, motor trucks do not con
sume gasoline or oil, while the mules
must be fed. Most of the Southerners
have large stables of mules, requiring
many attendants."

I MOTOR TRUCKS ARE
RAPIDLY COMING INTO
UNIVERSAL USE
i The controversy between the hm.-<
■ and the motor truck is becoming one
t sided. Every day sees old “Dobbin"
■ losing more ground. According to the
t .'■tatement of Manager R. H. Losey, of
the Atlanta Buick branch, the demand
■ tor the light delivery one-ton truck is
t increasing by leaps and bounds. Many
■ of the smaller cities and towns are see
• ing the horse supplanted by motor
I trucks which are also invading the
> farms in large numbers.
Throughout the country In hundreds
■ of rural communities Buick one-ton
■ wagonette trucks with seating capacity
for sixteen persons are used for passen
ger service between points not reached
1 by railroads, and in many places they
are competing successfully against
i steam and electric cars. There are ten
of these lines in central Indiana alone,
according to Mr. Losey. Especially is
the service of the truck valuable in the
. winter when the weather conditions
make traffic with horses hazardous and
difficult.

of the coming show are a month ear
lier than those of last year, title to the

What to Do and I
How to Do It I
In establishing carbureter connec
tions. lead washers only should be used,
as leather or fiber is apt to be attacked
by the gasoline, leaking unions and
c logged jets being the result. Most
modern connections are made with
ground joints, which require no wash
ers at all; if they become deranged, it
is a simple matter to render them tight
by grinding them in with a little crocus
powder or emery Hour and oil.
Difficulties attendant on the lighting
of ordinary kerosene dashboard and tail
lamps will vanish, it is claimed, if, be
fore lighting, the wick is first turned
up for about half an inch and then
turned down to its proper height. The
supposed effect is that of squeezing the
oil up into the upper part of the wick,
where it will more readily ignite when
the flame is applied.
Test the front wheels occasionally for
smoothness of running and side play.
Jack up each wheel and give it a tug
and a push to see if there is any side
play. If any is noticed, it should be
remedied at once by taking up the bear
ings. In spinning the wheel listen at
the hub. If sharp clicks are heard it
is an indication that there is a split or
chipped ball, which should be removed.
For varnishing metallic surfaces a
mixture of common asphaltum and
crude oil has been recommended. The
asphaltum should be melted and crude
oil stirred in slowly in increasing quan
tities until a sample removed from the
mass and cooled shows suitable varnish
consistency. For its proper applica
tion, the mixture should be applied
while hot. When properly mixed, it is
claimed to possess high heat-resisting
properties and to have sufficient elas
ticity for all practical purposes.
