trucks hs, ’been secured. The ACME
line is !K}'/nulacturud by Acme Motor
Trust {‘¢mpany, Cadillac, Mich., and
while Wut little known here in the
Soutlfe/rn fleld, they have made an en
viflhz reputation in other territories.
Tha Acme line consjsts of 1,2, 31-2
I-'er 4-tcn models, and their slogan is
i“t‘he truck &f proved units.” Their
principal specifications Include Con

Haynes Auto Company here, and more
recently Southern sales manager of

Chicago. He has been connected with
the antomobile industry for a great
many years, and his varied experiente
theérein will be very valuable in the
motor truck field.
F. 'G. Tegder has been with the

— A Newspaper for People Who Think —
Wthat is perhaps the largest over
land delivery of motor trucks ever
attempted at one time is being made
by the Garford Motor Truck Com
pany, of l;\ma, Ohio.
This fleet, compriging thirty-eight
trucks of all the various models from
one and a half to seven tons capacity,
left the plant at Lima last Wednes
day in the face of the most severe
weather conditions imaginable Bat
tling with snowdrifts mountain high
over roads that had become well nigh
Impasseble, these sturdy freight haul
[ ers are bucking their way over a long
haul to New York city.
Men with the party stated here
that some of the drifts through which
they had to pass were from six to
twelve feet deep and from three
quarters to a mile in length.
“This is in no sense a test run,”
sald 8. M. Willlams, sales manager of
the company. The Garford Motor
Truck Company has been making
these cverland deliveries for months
and 'knows that they are thorughly
practical, as we have demonstrated.
But this particular ‘trek’ is remarka
ble in that 1t i{s the lagrest fleet of
trucks ever engdged in a trip of this
kind at the sume time.”
“The trip is 'belng made to supply
ogr various branchesg between the
home plant and New York city,” said
Mr. Willlams, “as the conditions fac
ing the country demandh\fi the more
expeditious handling of all kinds of
commodities, combined with the dem
onstrated value of the motor truck
as a dependable means of ' freight
hauling, have resulted in unusual de
mands upon our factory.”
The itincrary for this run includes
Findlay, B‘gafnom. Obef‘lln, Cleveland,
Warren, eaver Falls, Plttnbm?.
Phlladelphia and over the Lincoln
Hig‘h‘wa} to New York city.
*“Just as every national emgrggncg
finds some strong leader to cope wit.
it, the crying necessity for greater
production in our factories with the
resultant demand for hnkln{ all of
our industries more closely together
with speedy and dependable trans
portation, has brought the motor
truck into striking relief as the most
efficient tool for quickening produc
ticn as well as one of the g}l&htieut
weapons of warfare,” said Mr. Wil
liams. “While we have foreseen a
coming new era of motor truck trans
port for some years, yet it needed
present day conditions to bring this
truth home to the pecple of this coun
try.” |
Mr. Williams predicts that here
after the matter of better roads and
highway transportaticn routes will
become a great natlonal issué. |

MOTOR CAR SITUATION
HERE AND ABROAD
Conditions affecting the manufac
ture and use of motor cars and trucks
in Burope and America are so differ
ent that governmental action taken in
England and France does not provide
a precedent that should be followed in
this country.
Upon the outbreak of the war many
of the privately owned passenger au
tomobiles and commercial cars were
commandeered by the English and
French Governments. The armies
were not adequately supplied with
military vehicles and the emergency
was too great to await their manu
facture on governmental orders. Guns,
rifles, ammunition and other military
equipment was required in such quan
titles and such a hurry that all avall
able manufacturing facllities had to
be taken over for army work. This
immediately stopped production of
motor yebicles for private use,
Ocean shipping came to a standstill
until the British navy cleared the seas
of German warships. Then followed a
rush to import munitions and food
supplies in enormous guantities from
America. A shortage in shipping re
sulted, which was made worse by the
submarine warfare. A number of

_SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1918}‘
tank ships were sunk, which inter- |
sered with importation of gasoline
from America and Mexico, while the
sources of supply in Russia, Rouma
nia and the Far East were shut off by |
lack of transportation and capture of
the Roumanian oil fields by the en
emy.
England and France are not oll
producing countries and are depend
ent for motor fuel upon outside sup
plles, Their armies and navies re
quired enormous quantities. These
conditions created such & scarcity of
gasoline that the Governments had to
limit the quantities of fuel supplied
and restrict use of private passenger
cars to urgent requirements.
Motor bus companies and some of
the trucking companies have been
forced to utilize {lluminating gas car
ried in balloonlike bags on the roofs
of the cars.
No such conditions confront the
United States. This is the world’s
largest 011-producing couniry; crude
oil is transported from the Pennsyl
vania flelds to ofl refineries on the At
lantic seaboard in wnderground pipe
lines and from the Oklahoma and
Texas flelds to Chicago in the same
way, so railroad freight congestion
doeg not interfere much with the
supply. Government departments de~
clare thers 48 suffidient gasoline and
other Jiguid Toels forall regulirements,
(provided care is wved to avold waste,
4nd there is and has been no Intam~
{f{on to curtail use of motor cars by
\iiniting the amounts sold.
" Manufacturing facilities of the 550
audomoblle factories and 1,080 parts
and. accessories plants in the United
Stat\’s are so enormous that there is
no néed for the Gowernment to com
mandeer factories for production of
war mhaterials, Careful investigation
as the situation in Washington by the
amtomobile industries committee has
shown that the factories can take on
alll war orders available without se
riously imterfering with production of
either passenger-or commercial vehi
}clefi.
Ini the presemt shortage of trans
!ponatlon facilities, the motor truck
and ‘the automobile are recqguized as
important factors in. keeping the in~
dustry and commerce of the country
in full dwing. If the national emer
gency .called for stoppage of the pro
duction and use of motor cars, man
ufactuirers and owners would un
doubtelily cornform with the necessity
patriotically, but the need of greater
transpértation facilities and of in
creased efficiency and production on
the fanms and in the factories calls
for the ntmost utilitarian employment
of the motor vehicle as a time-saving
and labor-saving mechanism.
Highway Builders and Uu? Organ-
At & meeting in Chicago last week
leading men interested in highwag
development and transportation by
highway formed a national organizay
tion under the name Highway Indusj
tries Association. Ome hundred :fi
fifty delegates were in attendance,
cluding representatives of 22
and State g.ssoc{!aflong. ten roads maj
chinery manufacturers, 25 road mate{
rial producers, 18 manufacturers of
motor cars, truck and parts, and rep
resentatives of 18 trade peridoicaly
and daily newspapers.
The meeting adopted a constitutioy
for the association and elected officery
as follows: President, S. M. Wmla.mq
of the Garford Motor Truck Company;
ILima, Ohlo; first vice president, A
R. Hirst, of Wisconsin State Highway
Commission; second vice presideny
Lion Gardiner, of Engineering News¢
Record, New York; third vice presis
dent, 8. T. Henry, of the ‘Allled Cons
struction Corporation, New Yorl.
Headquarters are to be established
in Washington for the period of th{
war to facilitate carrying out the oba
jects of the association, which areg
“To assist in co-ordinating the highs
ways with other transportation ageng
cies of the country; to encourage des
velopment of highways that will ads
vance the economic life of the natioyg
to stimulate their use in such a mang
ner as to facilitate and cheapen th§
transportation of food, raw materialg
and finished products, and to co-opery
ate with Government agencies, bot
State and national, to the end thaf
our highways may be of maximum
service in the transportation systen|
of the country.”
