by its founders to occupy place in
the scheme of the national defense Of
the United States that the Frontiers;
mems league and similar volunteer or
CARNATIONS occupy in England. Units
of the organization will be called COM
panies, and it is planned to have a
company in every place Of adequate
size in the United States. These COM
panies will be organized into regiments,
brigades and divisions and will con-
stitute real veteran reserve in every

who have had military service in the
regular army or national guard are eli
gible to membership. Permanent head

The New Obsession.

Oh. it's motoring here. and it's motoring
there
It's motoring. motoring, everywhere!
The babies in motoring carriages go;
The kids soon will coast on the silvery
snow
In AUTOMOBILES up steep automoslides
In wildly hilarious AUTOMOBILES.
Our dancers are dancing gay automojigs.
Our doctors drive round in their automo-
gigs.
And those who would perch on fames
highest bars
Now hitch up their wagons to automo-
stars.
The farmer is smiling his harvest to gain
When loading his hay on his automo-
vain,
Or soaring the earth with his automo-
pillow.
Or milking his gasoline automocow.
Or sending the choreman with automo-
legs
To gather each morn the fresh automo-
eggs
Meath the automohens in the automo-
coop
To the tune of the ROSTERS shrill auto
mowhoop.
While he who plays golf will rejoice at
the call
OF the automocaddy who chases his ball.
The automocamel will soon lead the van
From Automosheba to Automodan.
And down in the kitchen. by hook or by
crook
Some day we'll rejoice in an automocook
Who more than week in the household
will stop
To joy in the iests of the automocop.
Yes. it's motors by day, and it's motors
by night
Wherever we look there's a motor in
sight.
All over the land they are quite the
frontage.
Ard every old barn has become a garage!
