's a Federal
There's a Federa
Truck for Every
Need in Haulage
The great Amerfcan hay-haler has
been utilized by the United States
Government as a means of conserving
freight car space. Soldiers’ uniforms,
blankets, wsoft hats, socks, dried
peaches and all sorts of other sup
plies have been pressed and bound
into bales as a means of conserving
space,
But this principle could not be ap
plied successfully to, for instance,
bass drums or empty lime barrels,
Thirty of the latter welgh less, prac
tically, than three kegs of railroad
spikes, yet they require 60 times the
space, Such is the range of loads.
The motor truck manufacturer must
suit his product to the demands of
the buyers. Buyers invariably want
to move more goods faster and at a
lower cost. Consequently, the wide
range of dutles that are placed upon
motor trucks, make necessary a wide
range of capacities.
The Federal Motor Truck Compa
ny's exreru have studied the prohlem
carefully, with the result that a Fed
eral truck is manufactured to meet
overy haulage need. The man who
has to rmove kegs of railroad spikes
wants his truck to carry a big load.
This requires a big truck.
On the other hand, the lightest of
the Federal line, the one-ton truck,
will haul all of the empty lime barrels
that can be pilled upon it without
paralyzing all other traffic in the
streets, without seriougly taxing its
power.
The Federal units are as follows:
One-ton, 1 1-2-ton, 2-ton, 3 1-2-ton
and b-ton. This range meets every
hauling reauirement.
Laumber, furniture and general
haulage men find the two-ton truck
suited to thelr needs. Long wheel
base and much loading space are fea
tures of this Federal. A large num
ber of users devote their 3 1-2-ton
Federals to hauling such heavy ma

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN . A Newspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1918
[ Wants Federal Aid
Believini that the present Federal aid
road act should be amended in that the
Secretary of Agriculture could approve
of projects which might not relate ex
clusively to post road service, but would
provide for military needs and interstate
cormnmerce, the American Automobile As
sociation at the recent meeting of its
executive board in New York City de
cided to call upon the President and the
Congress of the United States to en
large the scope of the road act in rich
manner as ultimately to produce a sys
tematically maintained road system.
Commenting upon the matter, Chair
man QGeorge (. Diehl, of the A. A. A.
good roads board, thus presents the sit
uation:
“War conditions have emphasized na
tional transportation needs to the ex
tent of obliterating State lines and sec
tional boundaries. Hence it is entirely
logical that the Federal ald road act,
through which the national Government
co-operates with the several States,
should be amended in suoh manner as
to give to the Secretary of Agriculture
the widest latitude in approving the
projects which are submitted to him by
the State highway departments.
“It 1s true that present roads con
struction must be done at an increased
cost, but the loss would be far greater
to ‘ha country at large if highways
work were stopped entirely, which has
been suggested in some quarters, but
which I believe will be given up, now
that the great possibilities of main ar
tery highways are becoming apparent to
every citizen who wants to see the war
brought to its earliest conclusion
throu{h employing every source of co
operation in our great country.
“We must even bring about the main
tenance of the hl%hways in the Northern
States durln{l the inclement winter
months, which means that snow removal
has become a factor not to be disregard
ed. It is my belief that New York
State will carry out a definite plan in
this connection which can be emulated
in other States handicapped by simliar
winter conditions.”
{erials as building supplies, steel and
iron, stoves and materials of similar
weight. The 6-ton is built to meet the
dermcands of contractors, road build
ers, coal dealers and any other sort
of load of great size and weight.

About St. Louis as.
~ Future Auto Center
“There are few people who realize
the enormous growth of the automo
bile industry in this country and there
are just as few who realize how sta
ble this indusiry has become,” said
Stewart McDonald, vice president and
general manager of the Moon Motor |
Car Company, of St. Louis. “It has
become the third largest industry in
the United States and any curtail
ment of it would bring enormous in
jury to a widespread number of allied
industries. There dre now 456 plants]
in the United States building auto
mobiles. This has given employ
ment to nearly a million workmen.
There are 26,700 dealers in automo
biles in this country and there are
26,200 public garages. A vr»nsprvanvel
figure is that there are about 5,000,000
persons now dependent upon the au- |
tomobile industry. ‘
“l have no fear that there will be
any attempt at curtailment of the{
manufacture and 1 am equally con
vinced that eventually the center of |
the automobile business will be in or
close to St. Louis. Already St. Louis.
has developed to an interesting posi
tion in the trade and we find,among
our Moon dealeérs that they have less
trouble in getting shipments of auto
mobiles, parts or supplies from St.
Louis than from any other motor car
center. They are getting, in other
words, good cars built in St. Louis
and quick serviee on parts and sup
plies. The result of this is bound to
be the larger growth of this city asan
automobile construction center.”
NEW USE FOR TUBES.
Another novel use for inner tubes

under their arms and inflate them,
giving themselves all the confidence

Saving Millions of Dollars and
Releasing Millions
of Acres.
By D. K. ROBERTS. -
The importance of the American
motor truck in our business of win
ning the war has been discussed con
siderably of late, but the majority
of business men have not yet realized
thoroughly just what is being accom
plished with trucks and what could
be accomplished if every practical uge
was made of them.
From a strictly business viewpoint
there can not be a real argument
brought against motor trucks as an
economie investmant, and at this time
while we are striving to conserve
foodstuffs the motor truck becomes a
most important element in more ways
than one.
There are now 435,000 trucks in use
in the United States, with an esti
mated yearly haulage of 1,200,000,000
tons. At a cost of 18 cents per ton
mile would bring the total of 1,080,-
000,000. The cost for the same haul
ing with horses would be 24 cents per
ton-mile, or $1,440,000,000. This shows
a saving with trucks of $360,000,000,
There are 24,000,000 horses in the
United States that necessitate 120,-
000,000 acres of land to sustain them
The number of horses that have
been displaced by trucks is 2,000,000,
which means that 10,000,000 acres of
land has been released which can now
be used for raising food for our vast
army and those of our allies.
These figures should prove of great
interest to our food administrator and
everyone else interested in the win
ning of the war.
Not only does the motor truck
serve in increasing food production
but in supplanting several teams for
each truck it releases a number of
drivers that can be applied to other
work. Trucks are also playing a big
part in relieving the railroad conges
tion and the time is not far distant
when all short hauls will be made
with trucks where road conditions
will permit.
Every business man who now uses
horses for hauling purposes should
give this matter serious considera
tion and should lose no time in call
ing on a truck dealer who could in
vestigate his business thorocughly and
give him. some actual figures on the
saving that could be accomplished in
his own hauling. Good business de
mands it and patriotism pleads for it.
