] | TOEND OVERLOADS State Highway Officials Mak- { ing Determined Effort to Save Roads. “The yrecent authorization by the Califorsia highway commission of the purchage of six loadometers for the purpose of making a systematic weighing of motor trucks on the state highways reveals a determined effort to keep overloaded trucks from the roads,” says R. H. Salmons, vice president ' Selden Truck Corporation and member of national motor truck committee. “Up to a short time ago no attempt had been made anywhere in the coun- try to compel motor trucks to observe the maximum-load violations. With the increase of motor transportation and the consequent greater wear and tear on the roads, the attention of offi- cials in a few places which have laws regulating truck loads was directed to the matter, primarily as a means of road preservation. While it is ad- mitted that the majority of the roads are by no means what they ought to be, they must be taken as they are until means are found to improve them properly, and it is an evidence of wisdom as ‘well as justice toward all road users on the part of high- way officials to keep the load weights within reasonable bounds. Adopted in New Jersey. “In New.Jersey, which has tackled this problem of excessive motor truck toads more thoroughly than any other eastern state, the plan was adopted early in the summer of weighing trucks which appeared suspiciously heavy. This was merely preliminary to a more determined effort. It is now announced that proper scales have been purchased and placed at five se- lected sites along the thoroughfare: “The control of this whole matter is of direct interest, therefore, to all the taxpayers, who are responsible for the upkeep of the highways of the coun- try. It affects all towns and interur- ban stretches through which main trucking routes pass. “It took the railroads years to dis- cover that gross overloading never Pays in the long run. They found out that it was too expetisive and danger- ous a way to make money. A freight car, like a truck, is built with a fac- tor of safety to stand certain strains caused by uneven roadbed and pound- ing over cross-overs: if given proper care it will stand such strains with- out excessive overloading. Just think for a moment what may happen if a car axle breaks from such abuse. The whole train may be wrecked. Just as spectacles of this kind cannot be per: mitted to occur often on the railroads, 30 must the truck owners of the coun- try war agalnst similar accidents on alghways. : Takes Care of Stral “A truck will stand some overload, a8 1 have just intimated: the manu- facturer refers to this as the factor of safety. It is the designer’s idea that this additional strength takes care of thie greatest strains the truck ‘may encounter when operated under normal conditions of load and speed. It might better be called a factor of ignorance, for the additional strength of the truck is expected by the owner to support the additional load put on it due to ignorance. Although a ma- chine may be carefully designed and Gonservatively rated at a certain ca- dacity, with factor of safety, it does aot mean that it will carry a 50 per Sent overload without damage to the machine. Because the manufacturer laims the truck will carry 50 or 100 Jer cent overload. is no reason the ‘oad should be put on the machine. “This should be counted as reserve ca- sacity and would correspond to the ~apacity of a horse to pull 50 per cent or more overload on a grade. The man who drives horses would be fool- . sh to keep them all of the time under a _ straln such as they would have on the ‘worst part of the road. The same prin- ciple holds true for a truck.

By Albert Bigelow Paine, author of “Mark Twain; A Biography,” etc. New York: Harper & Bros. N the afternoon of a spring day in the year 1853 there appeared in the little vil- lage of Florida, Mo., a family of six persons, arriving after a long journey from that dim region known as the Knobs of East Ten- nessee.” Starts off like a story, you see. And so it continues to the end. Mr. Paine, out of his intimate com- radeship with Mark Twain, out of his much writing on this subject as well, has been able to extract from the life of his friend just those vital and revealing points that build the beloved American himself into this handy and generally available volume. It is all here in high lights that pick out—the humble birth- place, the old fashioned school, the| cub pilot, the pioneer, the lecturer., the writer, the entertainer, the tramp, the traveler—with the rest of the variety, the activity and the charm that contributed to the per- sonality of Mark Twain. A delight- ful and useful book, ready to the hand of everybody. TOLD IN THE EAST. By Talbot-Mun- dy, author of “The Ivory Trail.” etc. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Mer- rill Company. From the word “Go!" everything hums in a Talbot-Mundy story of the orient. Action plunges ahead in what looks like a mere helter-skelter. Scenes, richly exotic, flash by. Inci dents, novel and usually sinister, dart out by the way. Mysterious hostilities pile up in disconcerting barricades. Tortuous intrigues entangle the course. Then—in a triumphant sweep these diverse elements blend to astonishing climax of picturesque event. To exciting adventure here are added both the spirit and the atmos- phere of one or another of the se- cret corners of British-ruled India. The tables of this volume serve to re-emphasize the fact that Talbot- Mundy is a capital story teller in the oriental field. Two of these adven- tures go back to the Indian mutiny, in ‘1857. The remaining one is am Arabian tale with a slant of eastern humor in its unfolding. The first. and longest story covers the imperial service of Sergt. William Brown— Bill Brown—with his squad of twelve men at a certain Indian crossroads, and, later, devotes itself to Brown's| part in the rescue of a handful of white women from the already sacked and looted city of Jailpore. Bill Beown is a little Cromwell—a senti mental, psalm-singing fighter, who has not yet reached the high station where, like Cromwell, he has to lie and pretend more than is good for any man to do. You will delight in Bill Brown and the whole story that surrounds him. You will like, almost as well, the remaining two adven- tures of this volume. BLACK GOLD. By L. Elwyn Elliott author of “Brazil, Today and To- morrow,” etc. New York: The Macmillan Company. Mr. Elliott is quite under the spell of the Amazon country. Both his| judgment and his imagination pay | tribute to it. Under the former, he has made more than one serious and considerable discussion of the region from the standpoint of its industrial potentiality. ~ Under . the latter, he projects the novel in hand. And, in reality. this novel is a romance of the Amazon country itself. An English opera company, come across to pick up South American gold, is the sur- face medium of this adventure. Its slow passage up the Amazon serves to bring out, in a very sympathetic artistry, the impressive personality of | the great river. a friendly intimacy of detail, the daily moods that possess the river, in its shifting contacts with the {mpene- trable depth and mystery of the wood- ed shores that stand beside it. Ar- rived, far upstream, at the city of | Manaos, the members of the company the ladies of the company—serve to fire the inflammable Latins to ardors of love-making. political intrigue, and a flerce jealousy of the inroads of the competent men who have come over to promote the rubber industry..

He wd a contract hauling crushed stone st in the Cumberland mountains, de thought he could make more money isuling eight tons per trip; this he iid very ‘nicely until just before he inished the contract. While one of the trucké was descending a moun- fain with an eight-ton load something broke and the truck ran into a targe bowlder, was almost completely . wrecked, and the driver was severely . injured. The truck then caught fire and burned. The contractor was forced to go out of business because ot the accident. and he acknowledged hat overloading caused it all, not poor material or workmanship. The ~‘ruck was not built to withstand such abuse, “Wheri the states generally take this | matter up, as New Jersey has done, and a code of uniform laws is drafted and enforced the evil of overloading | will be less apparent. The proposed | umiform vehicle law, when completed, will be a forward step and should abilize conditions materially. The * jest interests of the country will be served by the adoption of this law. As many of its provisions as possible should be . enacted by each state. Es- vecially is it important that the pro- visions as to speed, height, width, the rules of the road, etc., with the penal- ties for the violation of the same, be adopted, =0 that when a driver or operator of a vehicle becomes fa- - miliar with the traflic laws of his own state he will be familiar with th of all the other states. o Abuse Called Offense. *Truck abuse, whether it be over- loading or anything else. is a grievous offensc against business, because it / blocks the progress of transportation, which is the lifeblood of = business Millions of tons of freight are ac- eumulating in this country every day on account of congested terminals. The task of moving is too great for railroads; the less than carload ship- ments are the permanent cargo of the $1550 truck. A system of motor transpor- tation is therefore needed to xupple- ment the railroads. No railroad switchmen's strike or longshoremen': strike is required to enabie the Busic ness man of vision to evaluate the ‘worth of the continuous operation of an adequate transportation system. It is the duty of business to see that overloading and kindred abuses do mot interfere with its development.” And that FIREPROOF AUTOMOBILE ~ SERVICE STATION increases. | ‘For the extra | | grind. speeds.

THE LONELY HOUSE. By Mrs. Bel- loc Lowndes, author of “Love and Hatred,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Company. The aromas of ‘am earlier fiction float out from this new novel by Mrs. Belloc Lowndes. The villain—in this case. a villainness—is of dark and murderous type. The plot glooms with mystery from start to finish. Strange disappearances follow one another in a_puzzling toe-upomn-heel procession. Then, in good time, the mystery fades out to plain murder, detection, appre- hension, punishment. All this takes place in the near neighborhood of Monte Carlo. Out from the bizarre little city, high on a solitary hill, iy set the “lonely house,” quite ur to the Bronte style of foreboding afchi- tecture. Within it live a woman and her husband—aristocratic, inaccess- ible. In the course of events this house turns out to be the maw that digests completely unwary men with win- nings in their pockets—lured here by one art or another. A love story walks, clean, beside this dark adven- ture. It is, indeed, the acumen of love that rescues the last victim and jopens up the long catalogue of crime. Quite in the old manner is this new tale of adventure. VERENA IN THE MIDST. By E. V. Lucas, author of “Mixed Vintages, cte. New York: George H. Doran Company. Miss Verena Raby had the misfor- tune to fall and hurt her spine, and Mr. Ferguson, her doctor, feared that she might “have to. lie up for some long time.” She did have to. Where- fore, the correspondence—with Ve- rena as its center—that makes up this engaging Lucas volume. Verena has a somewhat bewildering list of friends, but the author helps one out here by a “to the reader’ explana- tion of these in their near, or far, re- lation to Verena herself. ' So, if one is caught, as he often by some special bit of humor or sense or wit or whatnot, le simply turns to the list to find out whether it is Verena's brother, the widower, or the brother who i8 a ranchman in.Texas, or some other of the friends who, for the mo- ment, is engaging both Verena and the reader. Just another Lucas book of the pattern that warms up the cooling corners of the heart and lifts laughter to the lips.. TAHITI DAYS. By Hector MacQuar- rie, author of “Over Here,” etc. lllustrated. New York: George H. Doran Company. The writer sets out with an en- thusiastic and hearty invitation to the reader to “step onto my carpet,” a magic weave, and to go with him to the “islands of delight.” As extra in- ducement, he makes solemn promise not to worry you with geography, nor ethnology, nor geology. nor any, other stupid and impossible wst blanket. On the contrary, he vows to be lazy and quite casual, and wholly uninstructive. This promise he holds fast. He merely takes one along on a dawdling tour, directed by caprice or fancy, never by pre- concerted plan. One likes it immense. ly—the sudden start, tire unexpected pause, the idleness and the soaking in of the thousand-and-one delights that travelers, one after another, are, nowadays, passing on to us_about these delectable islands of the Pacific. They all sum, naturally, to about the same bundle of information—with this difference: Each traveler is a new medium whose richness of gift de- pends largely upon his own richness. This is one of the absorbing. as- similating, expressive loiterers. There- fore, his “Tahiti Days” are very sumptuous days, indeed. THE CLOSING NET. By Henry C. Rowland, author of “The Magnet,” etc. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. ‘The lure of this detective story— and it has a lure—lies in part in the fleld of its unfolding, in part in the externals of the situation. and in other part in' the substantial character of the ‘problem set for solution.

The band is as completely organized as any busi- ness corporation, the duties carefully assigned according to fitness and pow - er. Besides these advantages the problem has substance and consist- ericy—a sharp contrast to the play problems that serve the less adroit weavers of the detective tale. The methods are plausible and astute. Al- together, this is one of the good stories of the handling of crime by way of fiction—a good detective story springing up in a wilderness of bad ones. WITH THE “DIE-HARDS” IN: SIBE: RIA. By Col. John Ward, C. B, C. M. G, M. P. New York: George H. Doran Company. In effect, Col. Ward's story of his military period in Siberla is a dis- closure of the futilities of the allied occupation of that country. In par- ticulars, it is an account of the “Die- Hard" ‘battalion of the Middlesex regiment, with which he was asso- ciated in that campaign. In both phases of the report it possesses the advantage of coming to the reader at first hand out of the personal observa- tion and experience of the writer himself. On the one hand, it tells of broken promises on the part of the allied policy-makers, of indeterminate procedures, of wasted efforts, of con- fusion and failure. On the other, it deals with personal hardship on the part of the soldier'y, of useless loss of life, of animosities and peprisals. One chapter is devoted to ‘the American policy in Siberia and its results. An- other chapter considers the Japanese from the same points of view. Aléng with this frank and hard-hitting dis- closure thére go hundreds of pictures of actual life in Siberia during the period of allied occupation. And with this is a reasonable and impressive conjecture of the long and unhappy ef- fects of this event, from the stand- point both of international security and Russian wellbeing. WINGS OF WAR. farlane Knappen. Ilustrated. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. The prime quality of this somewhat special study is that it is readable for even the average man. As a matter of course, it contains material for the student and the practical flying man. 1t is the story of American.military aviation during the great war. It is the story of the tremendous achieve- ment that complete unpreparedness imposed upon this branch of the mili- tary service at the beginning of the war and during its course. The au- thor sets out dramatically thé comb- ing of the country for materials suit- able for airships, the mobilizing of men for the preparation of this ma- terial, the encouragement of invent- ors, the experiments and the final creditable and promising results. Here is the complete story of the Lib- erty motor and of the general air- craft equipment. And here is 2 sum- ming up of what Am-rica actually achieved in this direction. The book looks forward to another war, and to the importance of aircraft in thdt event. Some criticism lies here, for delays, for false moves, for initlal unreadiness—but, in the main, the book is an instructive and interest- ing discussion of the facts of Amerx-; can aircraft service in the recent war.
