Is something that may be responsible for the feeling of discomfort la th early days of mo toring having a car did not mean freedom from walking by a whole lot, but by new th machine baa grown out at many of Its early faults. Th reasonable man, however, who la In good health, gats re turn la fresh air wbil motoring enough to offset the lack of eierclse.

With a light car speeds much over twenty miles an hour bring out most of ths objectionable fectors that do not appear with a heavier car until a speed af about thirty te thirty five mile I reached. 1 Tha heavier ear Is se much steadier that the Impression con veyed ta tha senses is much tha asm a from the lower speed hi the lighter car. Motion through the air at A rata faster than our wont give rise to A sense of exhilaration, which stimulates circulation from Ha mental effect and mechanical stimulation of tb the surface of the body. long aa thl Is tb effect that rat of aeed la salutary, but when that point I passed It becomes Injurious.

V ' Truck Efficiency is Demonstrated The efficiency ef the euto truck was very clearly demonstrated In New Tork City during th work of clearing away the ruins of the Equitable building Im mediately after the Ore. Canavaa Bros, wbe have charge of the wrecking operations., discovered Tuesday morning one of the wall which remained standing was threatening to col laps at any moment, and In order to save ad joining property from damage It was necessary to gat prompt action. At 11 o'clock Tuesday morning the wrecking company telephoned the Yel low Pine Lumber company to rush them a number of thirty-foot beams, twelve Inches square, to use as supports for the threatening walk and specified that the first load must arrlv by I o'clock that afternoon. Th Tellew Pine company' lumber yard nt three miles away, and under ordi nary eondttlona It would have been Im poselble to get the supports te the Eqaltable building on time. The Tellow Pine oompany. however, baa recently purchased a fleet of five 'White five-ton trucks, and loading on of three with sixteen beams of the required site, a weight of nearly tight tons, dispatched evt. LIABILITY OF- AUTO MAKERS reetare of Ralla Headed Down . fcr Ksataeky Const, of '. 1 Appeal. A oonstrucUen of the law Important to Automobile owners and manufacturers w rendered Heosmser 1, by the court of appeal of Kentucky, affirming th Judgment of th circuit court, la the oast of Lucy barter against the Old Motor Works, H was shown that the Old Motor Work old to Gardner Colston of Louis vtlls a machine wrth A rumble or rear test, fastened to a tool box. Th purchaser rented the tnaohlne to Mis Shoffar, and wbil riding In the ramble ssat Uie screws became loose and th whole nog fell off, injuring her to the extent that she recovered damage amounting to M.M- The manufacturers held that If the machine was unsafe this fact was known to th purchasers at the time of sale and before Miss ghat fer ranted It. and that this knowledge exempted th company from liability to Miss Bhslfer. a tktrd party, unknown to them, and that an automobile by its very nature I dangerous, and that It was in cumbent upon Miss Shaffer to prove that the machine was defective and that such a condition was concealed from th pur chaser when It was aold. The appellate eeurt of Kentucky held that a manufacturer ts liable to A third party whoa the snkie manufactured Is dangerous to health, limb or lite: when the maker tells such article for general use -which be knew to neutly unsafe and conceals these defect from the purchaser. Apparently tats decision Is ta applies lion In this respect of as old principle to A new article, yet It does not eeetn at though there I error In holding n menu. faoturer liable to- a third party with whom there had been absolutely privity, quite Irrespective of whether the evidence showed that there waa a defect. There should hav been two suits, between Miss Shaffer and the firm from which she rented the machine and which waa directly responsible for Its actual condition st therlime rf her Injury, and another eult. cults distinct, between the purchaser And th manufacturers. It It could be pro red that this specific ma chine wes defective and below their stsna- ard make and that such a condition was concealed from the purchaser. For other wise thai ruling ef the eeurt of appeal ef Kentucky makes a manufacturer 1mm without limit tor the bnmedlale condition ef his machine sold broadcast throughout ths country, and which may then be re sold and rented, as In this cess, te third or fourth party. , It was held once hi Ohio that net oven and not tha manufacturer, was liable te a pa se eager tor a defect In the fastening of en upper berth which struck the pas- sen fer. the coart holding that the earner. aad net the ataaufacturer was Babes t a passenger.

It Is service of this sort that proves ths value of the motor truck. The tot tering nail was braced In time, and a great deal of property. Including the subway, which was threatened, was saved from destruction. AUTO TRUCK SETS GOOD RECORD IN TWIN CITIES Making fifty to sixty miles a day with its T,56Vpound load over roads and streets where every horse-drawn vehicle Is a sled. Is a pretty good record for a motor truck. That Is what a three-ton Avery truck Is doing for Stacy A Sons In Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. The truck la doing more than the work of three teams and doing it nt less than the cost of two of them, under circum stances where team hauling ha every possible advantage. The firm of Stacy A Son Is on of th biggest fruit and grocery wholesale houses west of Chicago and uses besides th three-ton truck two two-ton Averys, Then two hav averaged so far mile per week over snowy streets. "Thers Is nothing that can touch these two-ton Averys." ssid rick Stacy, manager of the transportation department of the firm. They are hauling loads up io three tons and doing it at about t cents per ton mile. This Is about half what it costs to do th same work with teams. A good deal of Stacy's hauling ts be tween Minneapolis and St. Paul. Jt often happens that there It a scarcity of soma fruit or other article In St Paul and an overstocked market on the same product in Minneapolis, or vice versa. The truck Is used to ttkt advantage of these conditions, often making handsome profits by an early morning trip.
