BERLIN (Pi, Every year Germany is becoming more thoroughly motor-toThe country has almost doubled Its number of motor driven vehicles compared with only two years it ago, and In the past twelve-mont- h has produced about $262,500,000 worth of motors of all classes, of which about 95 per "cent have remain "d In the country, the rest having been sold abroad. With a motor mark now for the first tme reaching a million vehicles, the fuel question has become of great importance, as both benzine and benzol have to be obtained from abroad and constitute a .charge on the wrong side of the ' Fatherland's trade balance sheet. All hopes are therefor fixed on synthetic benzine, an lnven.-tlo- n of the German dye trust, which Is expected "feTproduce from 200,000 to 250.000 tons In the coming year, or, of all the motor roughly, fuel used In Germany. means This that, Germany, although still far from being in the matter of motor fifel, will probably in 1929 need to import no more benzine from abroad than Rolls-Royc- e.

All told, the county laborers and equipment have been occupted at one point or another during January and February. The greatest difficulty has been experienced in the East Mill Creek district. Residents were literally snowbound for several days during the first part of the month. A new snowplow was put Into play after the smaller equipment utterly failed to cope with the big drifts. Roads were soon opened and residents were able to attend Sunday services, February 10, marking the first opening of the roads for days. - ' Traffic Experts Still at Loss, but fted, Green Lights -- I lU-plac- c System in Several Large Cities. -- Three-Flash WASHINGTON The amber designed to Increase safety of pedestrians and prevent collisions. Is fast being forced into the discard. While traffic experts are still at odds as to the value of the amber light' in combination with red and green lights, there is a widespread movement to discard the "warning'' or "get ready" signal because drivers misinterpret its mtanlng. Nc York, Buffalo, Albany and dozens of smaller cities throughout ths country have adopted a system of red and green traffic lights, omiU ting the yellow light,, andjiave their success.' a Most cities stiii tn the threveolor lights, but there is a widespread difference in the combinations used and the interpretation placed upon the ' center light. The experts agree that If the yellow or amber light is used mainly as a warning of a change It should be discarded. Tnere is a tendency for traffic to start while the yellow light is showing, which is undesirable. Many of the experts say that the red and green alone accomplish the desired result with less confusion. That there are- wide differences in interpretatloa of tne amber light's meaning is shown by a study just completed by the American engineercities using ing council.

BKOSSEAl', President, Commercial Car National Antomobile Chamber of. Commerce. Surpassing all previous reaords, motor truck and bus production during 1928 continued at higher levels than ever before, to reach an estimated total of 688.000 for the year. The extent of the increase in production during 1928 Is apparent when the new record Is compared with the previous high mark of Vk- - 531.628 madj In 1925, The gains made during the year were almost entirely due to a greatly enlarged output of light, fast trucks of less than two-to- n capacity, as Indicated bv an estimated nro- 'tltictlon of 521.000 .In this capacity in as compared wtlh 476.703 in the same capacity In 1925.

The new trucks put Into use this year have brought the present total registration to approximately 3,120.-00These are operated by more than two million owners, of which 82 . per cent are shippers. Railroads I'se Trucks. Seventeen railroads have discontinued some of their local freight trains and replaced them with motor trucks. Delays due to congestion and to the costly and shining of freight cars at terminals have also caused railroads to recognize the value of the motor truck. n At th present time railroads are using trucks to move more at economicterminals freight ally and more efficiently. Larje Cities Depend On Tracks for Food. The part that the motor truck plays in supplying large population cenreters with food products was vealed recently by a survey made by the bureau of agricultural economics. The bureau found that New York City receives inost of Its supply of fruit andT vegetables from near- by truck farming states by motor it rucks.
