MOTOR EXPORTS SHOW BIG GAIN DESPITE WAR ' ' Export of Trucks Increases Many Times, Thousands of ,L Passenger Cars Go Abroad. A report of motor vehicle exports to all countries during the calendar year 1918, Just furnished to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce by the federal bureau of forisn and domestic commerce, chows that 10,308 trucks valued at $26,814,952 and 36,936 passenger automobiles valued at $36,278,292 were shipped abroad last year. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, the last twelve months' period before the war, we exported only 784 trucks worth $1,181,611 and 28.306 passenger automobiles worth $25,392,963. Analysis of the exports in 1918 as compared with 1914 shows that while tho exports of passenger cars to England, i France, Germany, Russia, and British South Africa decreased notably and increased only slightly in Australia, they doubled to Canada, increased twenty-eight fold to Japan, twelve fold to Mexico, nearly nine fold to China and Spain, six fold to Cuba and China, more than seven fold to Uruguay, more than quadrupled to the Dutch East Indies, and almost doubled to Argentina. Of the truck exports last year, on tho other hand, more than half of the 10,808 went to England and France alone, while in 1914 less than onethird of the 784 shipped abroad went to these two. There was hardly any country in the world that did not take more American trucks last year than four years ago. The ratio of increase was much greater than in the case of the passenger automobile, even to

countries outside of Europe. Japan, the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, Cuba, Mexico and Peru are becoming truck using countries. To a lesser degree the Bame development is observed in other countries all over the globe. American automobiles and trucks are now being exported to seventy-five different countries, colonies, and dependencies, including Iceland and the Faroe islands, Labrador, the Barbados, Aden, Chosen, Persia, Siam, Canary islands, Madagascar, nearly all South America and Central American countries, and to innumerable islands In the East Indies and Oceania.

BIG BUSINESS GAME TO 1918 TRUCK SHOWS

"The New York and Chicago shows this year showed one thing of vital importance to every man in the truck Industry," says W. H. Fetta, who sells the Clydesdale truck here. "In past years the large majority of visitors have been made up of drivers, mechanics, barn-bosses, traffic-men and men mechanically inclined who were interested in the new development from a mechanical standpoint. "This was all very well, but for some reason or other the big business men the presidents and general managers, using big fleets of trucks considered it beneath their dignity to attend the truck shows. "As you stood and watched the crowd3 this year at New York or Chicago you couldn't fail to notice that while the drivers and mechanics were there, the big truck buyers were also there. "Tho men who pay the bills came this year to find out all they could about this tremendous development which has brought such a transformation in tho world'B transportation within the past two or three years. "It proved one thing. The executives of the large institutions appreciate the fact that the motor truck is today one of the most vital factors in manufacturing, merchandising and transportation. "This year they didn't send onlv Bill or Jerry down to see what was new in motor trucks; they came themselves. "The fact that the heads of great institutions are today taking a personal interest in motor haulage is going to bo a big factor for tho industry. Not so much because it will make tho sale of trucks easier, but because it will make the use of trucks more efficient."

PIEHL TO ADD NEW EXPANSION

New expansion is announced through AV. C. Piehl of the Piehl Auto Electric company, which has a history of remarkable growth for its seven months' existence. In addition to handling all sorts of electric equipment for motor cars, the company, beginning some time in March, is going to install a full line of household electrical furnishings. "We are not going to feature any one line of electrical equipment, but are going to give the public the very best we can find in all the leading lines. Thus whenever we know of any feature in any line which is giving the best service at the least cost, we intend if possible to offer it to Richmond," said Piehl, Friday. "Perhaps the leader of our proposed line will be the Alco farm plant with 110 volt current, which will put on the farm lighting fully equal to of any city home. "An electric mangle, the first, so far as I know that has ever been sold in Richmond, electric sewing machines, stoves, sweepers, lamps, in fact complete electric home equipment will be handled by the Thiel company beginning this month. "The Piehl company will continue to handle its standard line of electrical equipment for automobiles, including the famous Vesta battery."

EASY-RIDING COLE SAVES WOMAN'S LIFE

Among the great tests which a Cole Eight has successfully undergone, says F. I. Stafford, of the Stafford Auto Agency, 1026 East Main street, who handles the Cole in Richmond, was that of relief work in the Halifax disaster. ' The Cole factory is in receipt of a letter from Captain Lonsdale Harrison, of Jubilee Road, Halifax, the owner of a Cole which did valiant sedvice in the great disaster. The letter reads: "For more than two days the engine ran without stopping. When the car was brought to a halt it was in a snow drift six feet high. We were compelled to abandon the car until the next morning, when, after filling the radiator with hot water, it started with the first turn of the starting motor. Saves Numbers of Lives. "It would be hard to estimate the number of lives saved by the good behavior of my Cole Eight. It was said that it did the best work of any during that terrible time. "One case in particular, though a bit ghastly to describe, emphasizes the good work of the car. A woman had her jugular vein cut by a piece of flying glass. The glass remained in the wound and tended to stop the flow of blood. She was placed in my car and we hurried with her to the nearest hospital. "The easy motion of the car, despite -the frightful roadways, kept the glass from being jolted out of the wound. Had this occurred the woman undoubtedly would have bled to death before medical aid could have been given her. As it was she reached the hospital safely and her life was saved.

STAND STILL IT'S LEGALI

While it is generally considered advisable to stand aside when a motor car is approaching, one does not have to do so unless he wishes; that is, if he is willing to take the consequences. This is the decision of the Kansas supreme court. The case came up in Kansas in an appeal from Dickinson county.

DUAL TIRES IN EUROPE

Dual pneumatic tires are reported to have , found great vogue among truck operators in Europe. Experts of the United States Rubber company give voice to the belief that they don't stand much show in this country. They are, it is thought, makeshifts, resorted to because European tire makers have not been as successful as those in America in developing single pneumatics of the requisite size and strength.
