FAITHFUL OLD DOBBIN HOLDS HS OWN IN COMPETITION WITH MOTORS Found to. Excel in Short Hauls in City, Also for Milk and Ice Wagons— Staging Come-back in New York. New York, Bept. 20 (P—The le- gions who humber the horse well up among the dumb friends of man and those who néve experienced a twinge of regret over the thinning ranks of faithful equines on urban thoroighfares may take comfort from a survey just completed in ew York city, Far from succumbing to the ever- increasing pressure of motor-pro- pelled transport, Dobbin has held shis own here-and even promises to stage a comeback it the traffic con- ‘gestion crisis becomes more acute. H Holds His Own During the past five years, the ‘number of horses in commerclal use iin New TYork has hung steadily ;around 10,000, One local firm re- ‘ports an average of 400 “trades” a :day and spokesmen for speclal dis- tributing agencles which have held ‘almost exclusively to horse drawn ‘wagons declare the prospect {s rather for an increase than for diminishing that featurs of their ‘euipmeqnt. The wear and tear of frequent starts and the excessive cost of op- eration of large trucks which are held by traffic jams for considerable periods are factors quoted in Dob- bin's favor. But, regardless of traf- fic conditions, he is declared by his champions to be supreme in such in- dustries as retail delivery of milk and ice. ““iflfen thé last serpentine line of ‘motors has been dissipated and the last traffic cop has gone from his “stop-go” standard, in that short silent space of time when the city hovers between darkness and dawn, and the canyon like streets yawn zrim and specter-like, the horse comes into his own in the large city. Tons of meat and gallons of milk are delivered every morning at the rats of a bottle and 20-pound plece to a ‘stop. The milkman {Tarr\ts perhaps a dozen bottles at a time as he goes from door to door. He often gets ahead of his wagon, but the horse knows what is expected of him and follows his master down the street at a slow, thoughtful, ambling pace which just, fits ‘in with the epeed of the work. If the driver Fad to return to a motor truck each time, start it, to drive slowly only a faw fect, the delivery of milk would e a very sreat problem, dairy com- rany offi s agree. The same sit- ation holds good in the delivery of iee, “except that it is perhaps even #nwer work. And so the horse, once inoked to for speed. is now valuable favgp Bt its slownesa. Reeént exploits of the eriminal 4ass Have ‘heen rebounded to Dob- H%'s benefit, A leading importer of vaw fure recently notified the police would require protection for a ment in transit from the docks wareho! and added that crawn drays were being used of the additional protec- 1ian afforded from holdup.” The theory advanced was that would-he Vizhwaymen could not utilize with sicceas thelr common practice of eeanss Best Blonde e} Mile.

Here it ls, In fact, the horse champlons assert.the horse proves vastly superfor to the motor truck and fills a position all its own. One New York trucking firm alone op- erates 950 horses and reports them indispensable, Speed Not Essential The motor truck, representing a value of up to $6,000 snatches up a load, and dashes away from a ware- house for a pler. The run {s made in about flve minutes and then comes a walit. A long line of vehi- cles {s ahead, and the chauffeur must keep his engine running, mov- ing maybe two feet, maybe three at a time. Finally he reaches the pler head, unloads and dashes away, The run has taken five minutes, and the truck has been almost idle, tied up in the traffic, for probably an hour. Motor trucks used in this ' way, trucking company officlals have found, depreclate very rapidly. Not 8o the horse. He takes a longer time to make the {rip, but once in line he stands contentedly moving a few feet forward at a time and in the end gets his load to the pler head almost as soon as the motor truck. The cost of keeping the horse in line cannot be compared with the cost of keeping the motor truck in line, some companies assert. A not inconsiderable proportion of the local horse population continues to be comprised in the reduced hut loval line ' of “ansom cabs” which still doze on the sunny side of a street near the parks, There are many members of the old regime who insist upon these vehicles for their afternoon outings, either from sentiment or because of the sopo- rific-effect of the clump-clump echo of iron-shod feet on the asphalt and the soothing contrast of a sedate 10 miles an hour amid speeding taxis, At Your Library Books You Will Want to Know About Recent controversy about evolu- tion has made blology the topic of the day and will doubtless make “Biolog: by Vernon Kellogg the most popular book on the New Britain Institute shelves, where it has just been glven a place. It Is an eminent blologist’s introduction to a fascinating fleld of science and his selection of the slx best books for covering that wide fleld.
