R. ] EXPLAINS TRUCK USE “Pedler Freight Trains” Superseded Explanation of the new policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad of using motor trucks instead of “pedler freight trains” where possible, is made by Robert C. Wright, general traffic manager of the Pefinsylvania System. He says: “It is evident that a freight train | can not compare with a light vehicle able to move at high speed. Local | freight service handling small pack: | ages has become an increasing bur- den. Just how big a territory this plan should include, economically | speaking, I am unable to say off- hand, but probably it would extend twenty-five miles from any large city. | “The tonnage of this class han. | dled by the trucks has been con- ya ty Xe, or eRe oe po mien ay A417 J SS SEL SS “How far is it?” is the first ques- tion the perspective buyer asks of the real estate man who wants to show him a suburban home or a farm. He doesn’t want to know how far it is in miles, however. He wants to know in minutes or hours. “It is thirty minutes from the corner of Main and State Streets” tells the story. “It is seven miles out” does not. For ‘seven miles may mean seventy minutes, if the road is poor whereas “thirty minutes” is definite. A man has only so much time tc | stantly growing and ours going { down, but we have been compellec | | to operate the same number of | trains and crews, to bear all the | costs of operation, taxation, and | dozen other things. So we decided to select three busy sections of road and see what we could do with # | combined service. Results have { been even better than anticipated, | but it is a little early to reach con- | clusions. If the plan proves prac- | ticable in every way, it may be the { forerunner of a motorized service | { for all our small local shipments, | The public is not affected in any way. “There are many economics which do not appear at first sight. If a woman in Philadelphia . wants to the Wilmington lines, she must first buy a packing case worth $12, and I oy the piano is handled eight | times. But she can telephone 2 | trucking company, throw an old | | quilt or two over the piano, and | { have it moved to its destination. | She makes a considerable personal ge economic loss i saving and a lar avoided. “We have no intention of goins into the trucking business. We wisi the trucking companies would take all of this small business. There is no prospect of such an arrangement for a long time to come, however, because it is not probable that we could be relieved of our responsibil ity as carriers at this stage of de- velopment. Yet it is beyond ques- tion that a house-to-house delivery by truck of small parcels in con- gested territory is a better plar than shipment by railroad, or rail and truck, with additional truck deliveries made necessary at either end.” nna Ae rr CONCRETE SATISFIES AS ROAD MATERIAL Stone and Cement Makes Long Wearing Highway Concrete roads, properly made with good portland cement, offer considerable choice of basic mater- ials, according to the local market, and a satisfactory long wearing road when completed. For suburb- an and rural roads concrete is an ideal road material. Concrete con- sists of a mixture of water, cement, sand, and gravel or stone of many varieties. Engineers call the sand part the ‘fine aggregate,” and the pebbles or rock the “coarse aggre- gate.” Given clean aggregates and and good cement and the road when finished will be durable, dustless, easily maintained, and smooth. The two disadvantages, cracking and breaking at the edges, can both be overcome. Cracking, a result of temperature changes, and stress does little or no harm if the promptly filled. Proper shoulde 3 at the edge of the road eliminates the dangerous depression caused by the earlier neglect of this part of the road building, before it was un- derstood how water and weather wear away the edge-protecting earth. The two general types of concrete pavement are known as one-course and two-course pavement. The for- mer consists of one course of con- crete, all of which is mixed in the same proportion and composed of the same kind of materials, while the latter consists of two courses, usually mixed in different propor- tions and containing different kinds of aggregate. The one-course pave- ment is much simpler to construct than the two-course type. In the two-course type of con- struction local course aggregate of average or low wearing qualities is used in the lower course and im- ported aggregate with high resist- ance to wear is used in the top course. If the only materials lo- cally available for use as aggregate are of inferior quality, it is more economical to use them for aggre- gate in the lower course of a two- course pavement and import aggre- gate for the wearing course than to employ a one-course pavement and import all the aggregate.

He can not add to the num- ber of minutes in a day, or the num- ber of days in his life. Therefore he wants to use a few of his min- utes in non-productive, uneecessary, | and unprofitable effort. as possible It is for this reason he wants tc know the distance from his new home and his office or business ir terms of time. And it is for thi: reason he wants to locate on a gooc road, for only the good road can cu’ down his time, without increasing his cost! The railroad can serve only a limited number of suburban towns on any one line, and its trains can run only so He must watse time for them, going to and from them at both ends, suit his ! convenience to the schedule. With the good road he makes his own | schedule, often beats the train as to | speed, and always beats it in con- | venience in leaving home, getting in- often. i to his eonveyance, at or close to his place of business. The good road—plus the motor— { is translated in terms of time, and | not distance, because it is time we | have to spend, and time in which | we have to live; it is only the amount of time consumed which counts, and not the mere number of feet o? miles traveled in that time. eee et Eee WANTS GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER ROAD Bankhead National Highway Mili- tary Asset Statistics gathered from State Highway Commissioners, Chambers of Commerce, Automobile Clubs. and others, have been compiled by Bankhead National Highway officials as ammunition in the campaign to have the road taken over by the Na- tion, to build its less improved por- tions and maintain it in perpetuity The Bankhead National High- way Association, which has gatherec the data, states that a committee of leading citizens from each of the thirteen States the highway travers es will go to Washington and urge the passage of the measure. The Bankhead National Highway has been recognized by the Federa’ Government. The board of offi- cers who accompanied the Trans Continental Military Convoy which traversed the road from Washing- ton to San Diego across the conti- nent, stated it was the most feasible military route across the country. Beginning at the zero milestone at Washington the road goes through thirteen States—Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala-| bama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkan- sas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, ending at San Diego. Officials estimate that more than 1,600,000 people traveled over the road last year. lf Ares ics BRACE UP! pur back bent and stiff? Do you RB urinary disorders Don’t des- profit by Mt.
