A No-Thoroughfare Bridge. n the course of the hearing before the District zoning commission ¥ terday regarding the classification of the area between the lines of West Virginia and New York avenues men- gators of crime have for quite & num- ber of years been experimenting with psycho-mechanical devices, and have produced some rather remarkable ma- chines for megsuring the nervous re- actions. But they have not been adopted in this country officially. The courts have shown the same indisposi- tion toward them that was displayed by Chief Justice McCoy. It may be that they are trustworthy and valu- able. But certainly if they are applied in test it should not be in the course of examination in open court in the presence of spectators. The conditions of the tests should be different from those that prevail in a crowded court- room. What is wanted in all legal pro- cedure is the truth. It is assumed that self-interest dictates conceaiment, dis- tortion, evasion and direct untruthful- ness. If a machine could be devised that would betray a lie or an eguivoca- tion or a concealment the course of Jjustice would certainly be smoothed and shortened. In his refusal yester- day to admit the test as part.of the pending trial Chief Justice McCoy properly said that when the device is developed to the point of perfection HEN Postmaster Genefal Work a few days ago had the mail taken from the mail trains tied up by the strike and switched to motor trucks, which took it flying across country to its . destination, he called on what President -Harding in a message to; Congress termed “an indispensable instrument in our political, social and industrial life,” the motor car. And the importance of the motor car and the truck as agencies of transpor-: tation in a national emergency comes to the front in a time Ilke the pres- ent when the raliroads are threatened with partial paralysis over recurring 1abor troubles. Last October when another railroad strike threatened, the National Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce con-j ducted a survey to find just what, sort of protection the country pos- sesses in its motor vehicles in event of a transportation emergency. There were listed 984 truck companies en- transportation — Part the Automobile Is Playing In the Field of Transportation which enables the children to_come from long distances. of the motor vehicle today, as far as, * % k ¥ Possibly the most interesting phase utility is concerned, is on the farms of the country, where something like | 2,850,000 motor cars and 150,000 trucks are in daily use. A recent congres- sional report on the use of motor ! trucks on the farm showed that the estimated hauling cost in wagons from farms to shipping points aver- aged about 30 cents per ton per mile for wheat, 33 cents for corn and 48 cents for cotton. Hauling in_motor truck or by tractor averaged 15 cents for wheat and corn and 18 cents for) cotton. Wagon hauling averaged | nine miles from farm to shipping | point, while motor-truck hauls ran around 11.3 miles. The motor truck ! averaged 3.4 trips per day, while the | wagon made about 1.2 trips per day.
