Rush Order for Quad
Trucks from French
Government.

In filling the recent 100000 truck
order placed by Commandant Dulauroy'
of the French army, with the /. d.
JefFery Company, the Kenosha concern
made the first rush shipment last week.
II consisted Of ffty-two machines, re-
ouirinp two trains Of twenty-six fiat
cars each. Jeffery Quad trucks are
now in use in six European countries,
and the latest Canadian contingent
carried with it thirty-two OF the same
make.
Not only have European nations
found the four-wheel drive machine
OF the greatest possible service under
Rad conditions, but the United States
government through tests has also
placed the seal Of approval on the
Quad. The only armored truck ex-
hibited at the San Francisco Exposi-
ton is a Jeffery Quad, fitted with
rapid fire gun.

Elmer Thompson Host at
Banquet to Which
Mystery Attaches.

Elmer Thompson, secretary OF the
Automobile Club Of America, celebrated
an anniversary the nature of which he
refused to disclose by giving dinner
in the A. c. A. grill room last Tuesday
evening. 1t was an enjoyable occasion
for most Of the forty or fifty guests
in spite of many Interruptions by
large person named Wallace, who broke
out every few minutes with a chantey,
Of which the most important line APP
peared to be Darn his eyes"
There were those who insinuated
that Mr.. Thompson had arranged the
dinner in order to disseminate his
views on various subjects. Seemingly
this was not the case, as the club sec
rotary made only seven speeches dur
ing the evening. That number is SUI
fcient TO allow him latitude on only
one subject.
Alan Hawley described q recent trip
in a fying boat, and the dean and sub
dean Of the automobile writers also
showed that they, too, can go up in the
air on occasion. Taking a purely COM
mercial view of the function, Lawrence
Perry read what he called the Rubaiyat
Of Elmer Thompson's Annual Guests,
as follows:

Failure to think about evaporation

Monday morning the car stopped in

they had no water Roche and Welsh
started after a mirage which they be-
lieved was the Salton sea. Clarke
waited a day, and then, believing
them dead, made his way to Mineral
Springs. where he was resuscitated
after falling himself in faint and or
ganized a rescue party. They found
Roche unconscious and Welsh dead.
Roche said they drank lubricating oil.
