been at work half hour. The crest

French Military Authorities Plan
to Have Their Artillery Drawn
by Motor Trucks.
IDEA CONSIDERED GOOD ONE
Experiments Already Made Seem TO
Demonstrate That II 10 Entirely
Feasible and Will Give
Army Much Better
Service.

Horses have been marked down for
abolition from the artillery service Of
the French army. The French. who
claim to have the finest artillery in
the world, have come to the conclu-
sion that better service can be obtain
ed on the field with motor trucks than
with teams of horses.
Higher speed and greater mobility
Is assured with the use Of motor We
hicles, the degree Of reliability Is high
er, the number of men per gun Is less,
and all possibility of battery being
rendered useless by stampede OF
horses is avoided.
Experiments have been carried out
for a considerable length of time and
such satisfactory results have been
obtained that 1t has been decided to
make use Of motors in place of horses
for all the regiments stationed In
Africa. For the time being mechani-
cal traction is being used for the
heavy 220 millimeter guns, the lighter
arms still being served by horses.
Orders have been placed with auto
mobile manufacturers for special
types of four-wheel drive tractors and
some of these have been put through
their PAGES on the military grounds
at Vincennes, to the east Of Paris.
The program called for an ability
to haul a load of IL tons over any
kind of ground on which horses could
operate. The tractors took in tow
line of gun carriages and ammunition
wagons, the first carriage bearing the
220 millimeter gun, and was called
upon to haul it over every kind OF
ground on which horses had success
fully ventured.
The most severe tests consisted in
taking the load up very steep banks
of soft earth forming the background
to the artillery firing ranges. The
earth was either so soft or so muddy
that there was very little grip for the
wheels, yet all these tests were sue
cessfully accomplished.
In the mud-plugging competition
the machines had to go through mud
reaching to the hub caps.
Another test was the ability to get
over the trunk of big tree which had
been laid across the track and pinned
in position to prevent 1t being pushed
out of the way by the wheels. This
was also done successfully.
Finally, there was an immersion
test, the tractor being taken down the
muddy river bank under Its own DOW
er and run into the stream until It's
wheels were entirely under water.
the frame members just being sub
merged. After remaining In this po-
sition for little while, the machine
was brought out under its own pow
er.-From Motor.

UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE
Statesman, Forced to Admit He Could
Not Read His Own Writing,
Was Annoyed.

Representative William G. Adam
son, chairman of the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
can perhaps claim the record in the
house for illegible chirography. He
will admit that it is sometimes impos-
sible for him to read his own hand
writing after 1t has grown cold.
One day a client entered his law
office at Carrollton, Ca, and handed
him a letter.
Mr.. Adamson," he said. II received
that letter in the mail yesterday and
am unable to read 1t. | wish you
would translate 1t for me-
Mr.. Adamson took the letter. which
was scrawled on a plain sheet OF pa
per, and regarded it for long time.
Then he handed 1t back with the re-
mark:
THAT is not writing. Some lunatic
has been trying to play a joke ON
you"
Straightway the visitor handed Mr..
Adamson the printed envelope In
which the letter had been mailed.
This letter evidently came from
your office, Mr.. Adamson; your name
is printed on the envelope" he said,
mildly.
But Mr.. Adamson's remarks were
not mild; In fact. they have been ex-
pungeds from the record.-Washington

SONG OF THE AUTO.

The freedom OF roads that go winding
along
Like ribbons of silver and gold.
BY orchards and meadows and gardens
and woods,
And rivulets crystalline cold
And a fair panorama of villas and farms
AS the miestones away from you reel.
Are only few OF the pleasures that go
With the price OF an automobile.
A rose on the cheek. and song in the
heart.
An eye that is steady and clear,
An appetite equal to pickles and pie
Without gastronomic fear;
A spirit at peace and In tune with the
world.
And nerves that are tempered to steel.
Are some OF the pleasures OF health that
you get
When buying an automobile.
The honk OF the horn has a magical note
That charms all your troubles away.
And the hum of the motor invites you TO
go
Where the blossoms and birds are at
play.
There is somewhere racy new model Of
speed
Awaiting my hand on the wheel.
So put on your hat and together we'll 60
And purchase an automobile.
