Auxiliary writes that Albany College
is the "only school so far that has
given the service men an opportunity
to express themselves publicly" after
their return to College. She refers
in this to the opening assembly of
the College's second semester in which
Geo. H. Crowell was the speaker and
the roll of the SO service men was
called giving a chance for each man
to respond or his whereabouts told.

Twelve Excellent Rules Formulated
for Benefit of Owners Short De
livery Is Likely If Details Are
Overlooked.
Points for motorists to remember
when purchasing gasoline have been
formulated by the Nat limn I Automo
bile Chamber of Commerce, with n
view to conserving gas and savins
money for the car owners. He Is ad
vised ns follows :
L Urge your dealer to make a dully
test of the accuracy of his gasoline
measuring pump with a standard five
gallon measure.
2. On pumps ranking one-gallon de
livery, see that the pump operator
makes a full stroke and that the piston
travels Its full length.
Watch Indicating Device.
5. Watch the counter or Indicating
devlre on all pumps provided there
with. 4. See that the operator drains the
delivery hose.
8. On pumps provided with gradu
ated glnss-cyllmlers, see that the gnso
llne reaches the proper graduation.
6. Ken-are of the filling stations
where the delivery Is outside and the
pump Inside the building.
7. Operators should willingly tes.
pumps In the presence of the autolst
with the five-gallon standard measure
sealed by the local Inspector of weights
and measures.
8. Short delivery gasoline Is some
times routed by leaks In the supply
line to the pump. This condition causes
the pump to deliver nlr Instead of
gasoline and ran be detected by the
sputtering sound.
9. If the gasoline Is low In the sup
ply tnnk. short delivery Is likely to re
sult. This ran be detected by the Ir
regular flow of gnsollne and the sput
tering sound. Such a condition Is fre
quently encountered where portable
filling tnnks arc ued.
First Oellvery Short.
10. The first delivery made by a
pump after It has been standing Idle
for some time Is inrnrlubly short. This
Is cnused by the gnsollne already In
the measuring chamber leaking bnck
Into the dcnler's supply tank through
a leaky check valve.
11. View with suspicion a gnsollm
delivery hose attached to a well In thi
curb. It Is Impossible to properly drain
a hose so Installed, and adequate mens
ure cannot be obtained unless this Is
done.
12. In rare cases pumps may be de
llberately manipulated to deliver short
amounts through the changing of meas
uring adjustments. ,

Lloyd George was mentioned as a
man of real merit and always on the
alert. The speeches were all trans
lated Into two languages, English and
French, Each nation represented had
large delegations of experts to con
sider every phase of the treaty as It
might apply to the nation represented.
An amazing feature of the conference
was the different type, of races rep.

to the conference, and the United
States frfim the oppressed of all
lands.
All questions of importance were
referred to committics appointed to
consider certain lines of relationshio.
and but few general sessions were
held. Twenty nations have already
adopted the treaty which was doij
rated as the back bone of future pro

Here is the Truck
You Have Been Waiting For
THE SAMSON Three quarters and One and a Quarter ton farm
and delivery wagon.
Shipment is Expected in a Few Days
Every farmer wants a truck that will fill his hundred and
one requirements, not too heavy but sturdy enough to handle the
ordinary hauling problems and at a price which ever farmer can
afford.
The Samson Truck embodies several principles that are new
in truck construction which add efficiency in operation.
By placing the driver's seat well forward and locating the
steering-wheel post and foot pedal at the left-hand side of the en
gine the driver's cab is eliminated and 33 1-3 per cent more load
ing space is privided.
The even distribution of weight insures great economy in
tires and fuel.
The new Samson single-plate dry disc clutch allows the driv
er to start under a full load on any gear, smoothly and without
a quiver.
The patented extension wheel base, attachable to any Sam
son truck, prevents the truck from sinking into soft ground and
furnishes traction to get out of soft places.
Any kind of a body, from a city delivery to a hay rack can be
supplied.
