Presi dent Coolidge has written a let ter to Walter W. Head, of Omaha, Neb., connecting his approval of i the national Father and Son move ment, as a throTrgh-thc-year pro gram, with its uses in helping to Improve world conditions. Mr. Head Is chairman of the National Father and Son committee. 5';. Great advances in civilization in : the past, the president points out, s have come as -a result ofthe awa kening of the spiritual forces within the Individual, as proposed in the Father and Son program. In bis, endorsement of the move ment.! President Harding, who urged general cooperation with it on the part of the public in a let ter written shortly before his death. President Ccolidge's letter follows: "In view of the- present condi tions throughout the world, which might involve even our own coun try, it seems peculiarly appropriate that there should be launched in our heme land a program that has as its chief objective the desire that fathers re-consercrate them selves to their paternal obliga tions, and that the attention of eois bo directed to their obliga tion to their fatherss to their hojines and to their country. "The Father and Son Movement is intended to lead sons to a great er appreciation of their fathers and of their homes, and to a high er respect for them. It is also intended to encourage them to ac cept in a larger way their respon sibilities as citizens. "With the process or recupera tion now going on throughout the world, it is imperative that the ba sic . principles on which America' rests should be recognized by all our citizens. History points in no uncertain terms to the fact that great advances in civilization have como as the result of awakening of the spiritual forces within the individual. Xo more appropriate way to accomplish this can be de vised than that proposed in the plans of the "National Father and Son Movement." OVER 100.000 STROMBERG CARBURETORS land Hot!

" . I - I Damage to Truqk Mucb Greater Than to High way, Says Engineer By Ethelbert Favary, Consult ing Engineer, Moreland Motor Trucn company. Presented at the convention ot the California Truck Owner's as sociation, Fresno. Conservatively estimated, the annual expenditures for the repair of trucks direct ly due to overloading and over speeding, amounts to $250,000,000, and the dam age done to roads due id the same cause about $150,006, 000. While the damage to the road is more evident, truck operators should keep constantly in mind, that the damage done to their equip ment Is even greater. Whenever a. load Is supported by a steel structure, like the frame ot a truck, the axles, etc., it caus es the structure to bend; that is to say, it causes a deformation in the metal. It does not matter how light the load, a certain bending action always takes place. Neither does it matter whether the mater ial is a poor quality carbon steel, or the best quality of alloy steel; if the area, i. e., the size, of the metal structure is the same, they will bend the same amount under the same load. When the load is removed the steel will resume its former position provided it has not been overloaded, that is,' in other words, if the elastic limit of the steel has not been exceeded. The better the quality of th steel the more load can it support with out remaining permanently bent or deformed. Or, to express it in a more technical form, the elastic limit of steel is exceeded when the load causes a permanent set, that is to say, when the material does not recover its original form when the load is removed. When a truck carries a load, the frame, axles, and other parts are under stress and will be deform ed (bent). If the load is exces sive and the elastic limit of the metal is exceeded, there will be a permanent set (or twist, as the caseNmay be) in the parts affect ed and this will weaken the struc ture. In fact, even if the elastic limit is not exceeded, but only ap proached, it will show weakness and fatigue (crystallization) much' sooner, and the structure wilt give way In a much shorter time than if the part were, not strained to such an extent. If any portion of the truck has been overloaded to the extent men tioned, it may not break or fail for a long time thereafter, pos sibly not for a year or two, but nevertheless, the breakage may be traced to the overload. The reason for this is that when a structure has been overstressed, the continuous strains (bending) Will continue to weaken it until it finally breaks. Knowing this to be the characteristic quality of steel, it is infallibly true that a structure loaded to excess will develop-weakness sooner or later awl the truck operator will pay the bi.ll. Hence, occasional overload ing, far from being a source of added revenue', is an added ex pense, and if truck owners would keep this in mlndtand explafa it to their men in charge of their vehicles, it would be the means ot saving considerable money in re pair bills and of reducing truck depreciation very materially. OvcrsiK'ttling Whenever a body is in motion, It has a certain momentum which has the tendency to propel it for ward in the same direction in which it is travelling. When the wheels of a truck hit an obstruc tion in the road, (and the road is full of small obstructions), the wheels and axles are - def uected from their normal straight line course, and they in turn wllLde flect the chassis and the load to some extent, through the springs. Imagine a truck traveling at a cer tain speed and hitting a small ob struction. A certain impact takes place between the wheel and the obstruction, its magnitude depend ing upon the speed, the load, and on the "give" in the tire. The tire being solid rubber, or pneu matic as the case may be. will re duce the-impact or the blow. The more the tire "gives" the less will be the impact transmitted to the axle and the chassis. When a pneumatic tire rides over an ob struction on the road it will ab sorb the obstruction without caus ing a rise in the wheel provided the obstruction is not more" than about 5-1 6 inch in height. If the center of the wheel is not raised when passing over this obstruc tion, the impact is not transmit ted to the axle or the chassis. The pneumatic tire will "give" and absorb irregularities on the road surlacc at Flow speod3 as well aw" high speeds. It the ob struction is higher so that the pneumatic, tiro cannot-entirely ab sorb it, it will impart an impact to the wheel and the truck, said impact being larger the less the absorption by the tire. The solid rubber tire acts in n entirely different manner as the characteristic quality of r ubb? ,ia VOW Your liberal support and patronage has made possible the greatest year of our bwine reer.

For instance, by placing a load oa a block of rubber it will be depressed but the mass of the rubber is chang ed from its former shape into a nevy s.hape. Whenever any mass, a solid, (as distinguished from a gas, is changed from one shape Sto another, it consumes time, ence, we find that the rubber block is slow in action, that is to say. it takes time for the hubber to be depressed and it takes time for it to resume itl former posi tion for rubber has a low elastic efficiency. As long as the speed of the truck is not excessive, the rubber has time to respond to the duty imposed on it without 'great loss. If. however, the speed is ex cessive, the solid rubber tire, when in motion,. will be depressed in the front under the load, and will .resume its former position untlf the wheel has turned a cer tain distance. The faster the siced of travel, tin; smaller is the "give" in solid rubbtr, as there is not enough time allowed for it to be depressed; hencf. rubber-loses a great deal of its cushioning power rides harder with an in crease in speed. THcv speed, at which the diffcrencf in the give of the rubber is materially notl cable, ta at about 17 miles per hour for .light loads and a lower speed for heavy loads. (A narrow- tire can epread easier than a wide tire..').. Impact Mr. Goldbeck of the Bureau of Standards in ' Washington has found from carefully made exper iments, that when a truck equip ped with' solid rubber tires j,s trav eling at 16 miles per hour and one wheel strikes a 1 inch obstruction, the effect of the; blow may be as high as 7 times the normal load on the wheel, the average being 4 times the load. For example: if the load on the wheel is 4000, lounds, the blow might be as high as 28.000 pounds, the average be ing 16.006 pounds, (under the con ditions named.) Pneumatic tires, going at the same speed and, hitting the same obstruction, will cause a maximum blow of only 1 14 times the normal load, the average being about IV The magnitude of such a blow as .arises1 from the solid rubber tire Is staggering when we analyze its effect upon the chassis. When considering an overloaded truck going over the hills and hol lows of the road surface at an ex cessive speed, it is really remark able that more damage is not done and more accidents do not occur. It should be remberec that a blow imparted to the tire 1,s im parted to. tuo r,oad in exactly the same degree, and vice versa, and the heavy repair bills Incurred by some, truck operato8 can Invar iably bo traced lo grer loading and ve$ speeding (unless the truck used 4a of inferior quality) even though the failure of the part or parts may not take place for some time thereafter. Antelope Herd Surprises Federal Trapper inj Nevada (By Mail) RENO, New, Jan. 4. O. C. Woods, a federal trapper, reports that recently he was intent on skinning a coyote when he looked up to find himself surrounded by a herd of antelopes. As they, milled around him, eyeing him curiously, he counted 318 of the creatures. A recent animal census taken by federal trappers estimated the number of antelopes in this vicin ity at 1.500.'- This animal, how ever, is said to be vanishing rap idly, and the herd in ' northern Washoe county, Nevada,, is believ ed to. be the largest in the United States.
