Railways, waterways strain and tug at the load. Both, are primarily and directly dependent upon the highways. . ' The present uncertain condi tion of our highways makes it impossible for them to meet the burdens which they should bear. Their neglect is serious and. because of it we are paying a heavy penalty. It is just as necessary to build permanent highways as it is to increase the efficiency of our railways and waterways. No one of these great trans portation forces is effective without the aid of the others. A ZZ are allied in a common cause the meeting of condi- tions which will face our coun try after the war.

Increasing of Mechanical Force Improve Conditions in Automo moblie Repair Shops. Reconstruction plans for retting" the automobile business back on a peace time basis will e discussed by mem bers of the Dealers' Motor Car Associa tion of Oregon at the December busi ness meeting- of the organisation, which will be held In the association offices on the third floor of the Commonwealth building Monday evening. V "The Indications are that there are going- to be plenty of automobiles for the Oregon market,", says M. O. Wil- kins. - manager of the association, Thertfare also plenty of trucks and tractors to meet the demand. "There Is some ilVTlculty in obtain ing some models of passenger cars, but the stocks of nearly all makes will be quite complete. There is an abundance of trucks, but the demand for them will be proportionately heavy. .' "The best service In months in the repair shops la promised. Automobile parts are easier to obtain now and the mechanical forces are being continual ly increased. . Mechanics who have been working in shipyards and even "some men who have been in the service are returning Ao their pre-war places In the repair shops. This will result in giving the automobile owner mufh better service than was possible while the war was on. I "Further relief for the automobile Industry has been brought about by the release- of steel to be used in making parts. It Is now possible -to get steel without permits lor the manufacture of parts locally. This will save consid erable time in making repairs." TRUCK EXPRESS GROWING WAR POPULARIZES GASOLINE FREIGHT VEHICLES. Manufacturer Declares Railroads Will Have New Competitor ln ; Ilauling business. -'-' J Railroads conducted at a loss are not going to be necessary in many districts of America now that the motor truck .- baa taken Up its work of carrying the - products of the country to the cities and of delivering- the products from the city to the country residents. Rail roads became necessary when the old time stage lines became too slow and the motor trackvby taking the place of the horse-drawn stage, is rapidly doing away with the need for railroads. For rest J. Aivin. general manager of the United States Motor Truck Company, believes that Americans will look back in a few years and wonder why the creation of rural -express business on a large scale was so long delayed. "This unexplained delay in the crea tion of so enormous a business as the rural express business is rapidly grow ing to be." said Mr. Aivin. "may be laid te the hesitancy of the populace to ac cept the real possibilities of the motor truck.- War made the change and war created that confidence which we of the manufacturing industry possessed, but which the people generally lacked. The fact that the great world's war so de pended upon motor trucks and the per formance of our American-made lorries over there focused attention on the truck as nothing else couldhave done. We who have watched the growth of the motor truck business from its in fancy and who have worked to create the perfect car of commerce are reap ing our reward, for the motor truck is now taking its place In the world of commerce and demands upen . us are even larger than anything which had been anticipated. And when the rail roads are once more able to handle the commerce of America, the trucks will go on and on In the path they have created for themselves, while rural ex press will be a feature of the country not to be done away with, due to the fact that it has created a line of busi ness most' essential to the well-being of the country. "As a boon to farmers and the resi dents of the country districts, both in the carrying of freight to , and from the cities and distribution centers and as a means of rapid conveyance to points far away from railroad lines, the truck used In rural express will in crease in numbers rapidly and in fact as fast as we makers are able to sup ply them. ' As tnis line of business in creases the business of the motor man ufacturers will increase, as has ours in the last eight years. And the makers who turn out good trucks will natural ly benefit." ; ' CORD TIRES 6TAXD LOXG TRIP Car Equipped With Xor walks Slakes Transcontinental Jannt. F. E.

It Is a simple matter to carry 'on by rilling the cup with cotton waste which has been saturated with lubricating oil.

Portland Dealer Declares Worthy of Imitation in Every State In Union. On November 15 the state of Col orado celebrated Its first "Motor Trans port day." The Governor set aside, by proclamation, tnat that day would be a public holiday and requested thatT every human being in the state think of motor-truck transportation and the motor truck. The plan bad the indorse ment of not only the National High ways Transport Commltee, but also the National motortruck committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Com merce. "Without a doubt this is a big idea and one worthy of every state In the Union imitating," eays W. L. Hughson, Portland Kissel distributor. "It Is due to the motor truck that the transporta tion requirements of the Nation have been met without interfering with the work of the railroads taking care of the Government s requirements. It Is also due to the high state of perfection of the motor truck that the cost of trans porting goods by It has not been pro hibitive, but. on the contrary, at prac tically the same rates as those of the railroads, and in many localities, due to good roads, the rates have been lower. "I understand that Colorado s motor transport day was for the purpose of calling attention to -the possible uses of motor trucks and the possibilities of their being employed, not only from an efficiency standpoint, but from that of economy, expense and time. It .is my opinion that It is lust as much a. business necessity as a patriotic duty for firms to transport, their goods by motor trucks as It Is for tuem to sub scribe to liberty loan. Red Cross and other patriotic funds. I suggest that the Governor or this state be written to by every motor-truck dealer and user to set aside a motor transport day of our own."
