In his address to the visiting dealers
rresident F. W. Ruggles emphasized
the splendid condition of the Itepublic
business both from a sales and pro
duction standpoint. . He said that in
spite of the tremendous strides already
made the truck industry was still in
its swaddling clothes and the progress
still to lie made by Republic and the
industry in general would prove as re
markable as was its quick; growth
' during the last five years.
The conference continued for three

The Lincoln highway, which In
Maryland and Pennsylvaniaabsorbs an
untold wealt hot freight traffic, could
not be kept in the perfect condition bo
essential to economical haulage with
out the use of motorized road appara
tus. - i
It is peculiarly significant that ;
Pierce-Arrow trucks were the ones
chosen for this type of work, and dur
ing the last two years they have clear
ly demonstrated their superiority in
thetask of road maintenance and road,
building. Since 1918 the Barrett com
pany, orrrating a fleet of 3." I'ierce
Arrow trucks, has been caring for a
large section of the Pennsylvania, sec
tion of the Lincoln highway. These
trucks also have been used in the
maintenance of the William Penn '
highway and on state roads in many
of the eastern states.
The trucks, used mainly in treating :
roud surfaces, are equipped with tank
bodies. They operate economically in
a radius of 40 miles from the source of
supply.
"Without motor truck distribution,
this kind of work would be out of the
question because of expense." said the
local Pierce-Arrow dealer. "The radius
of horse-drawn distributors is small
and the loads they can draw arc light.
"It is the motor truck that will de
mand the best roads and it is the mo
tor truck that is making it possible to
construct and maintai nthosc roads.''

WRIST PIN KNOCKS
In attempting to confirm a sus
pected wrist pin knock, place the hand
on the edge of the bearing and con
necting rod w hile tome one else rocks
the motor slowly by means of the
starting crank, the switch being off.
In cases where it is impossible to
reach the parts with the hand short
circuit the spark plugs one at a time
while the engine is running slowly.
This will cause missing and any knock
wiil be instantly audible. Of course
the ore certain way to make the teat
is to remove the j.isto nand. connecting
rod and mm a bfiich test, but the
mediods suggested will save time.
MENDING BROKEN JACKET
Repair of a badly broken water jack
et may be accomplished if the operator
knows just how to go about the job.
Take for instance, a case where the
corner of the Jacket has been frac
tured. The broken pieces of the cast
ing ate put together in a skeleton
framework, made to hold them in posi
tion. The entire jacket is then tilled
with a saturated solution of salammon
lao. The seepage is permitted to oxi
dize, and after the cracks have closed
up and the leakage has ceased, the
solution is entirely drained out and the
job is allowed to mand until it is thor
oughly dry. After that the expansion
and contraction of the jacket do not
effect the repair.

BREAKER POINTS ADJUSTMENT
Some times it becomes necessary to
contact points of thetshrdlu ; et
readjust the clistanee between the i
contact points of the breaker. The i
common error is that of setting these ;
points too far apart: the proper dis- i
tame is approximately one-fiftieth of'
an inch and this may be taken as th.
standard. It.identally the width of j
the spark gups has a great influence on !
the functioning of the ignition system. !
