BITES GOLF BALLS
 CENTRE AND MAY DIE

Greenwich. Conn.,, July S.-Biting into the centre of a golf ball may cost Charles Andria, twelve-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Lawrence Andria of Greenwich his life. according to phy- sicians. He is in the Greenwich Hos pital and but little hopes are enter tained for his recovery.
 It is supposed he decided to exam inc the interior of the ball, and after unwinding the elastic between cover ing and the acid pocket in the centre he probably attempted to break the small shell and, failing, bit it. The fluid burned his mouth and he is be- Heved to have swallowed some, of it.
 The exact substance contained in the centre of the ball is not known, as it is secret preparation, guarded by patents. A specimen of the fluid is being analysed by chemists in the hope some effective treatment may be obtained before it is too late to save the boys life. -

Without any "blare of trumpets,' D quite unostentatiously, Jim Florida alighted in New York the other day, from Columbus, N. M, where he has been since the middle of April coop erating with the War Department in the organization of motor truck trans portation.
 That the U. S. army is handling the Mexican situation in a thoroughly business-like manner" said MT. Flori- da. "is demonstrated by the efficiency with which it has organized the Motor Truck Transportation Department
 When the first punitive expedition was sent into Old Mexico after Villa, it was apparent that motor trucks would be absolutely essential in keep ing the advanced base furnished with forage and necessary supplies. Me chanics. machinists and drivers for the various truck .nnanrfacturers whose trucks were already at the bor- der, became involved in all sorts of intrigue to make the best possible showing for the particular aiakas of truck. which they represented. In their zeal they frequently imposed great hardship upon the War Depart ment, through their failure to cooper ate with any rival manufacturer or make of truck.
 The War Departm ent -teiAgraphed the Locomobile Co. of America, with whom they had been in negotiation, to \send at once a practical man to take complete charge, for the time be- ing, of the Motor Truck Transporta- ton Department at Columbus, N. M., thus leaving the army officers on the border free to devote their entire time and attention to strictly military affairs. The Locomobile Go, had no hesitancy in sending James W. Flor.- da, assistant manager of their Phila- de1phia house and one of the best known automobile men in the coun- try.
 MT. Florida will be remembered as one of the earliest successful racing

trucks on, we can't realize the trouble that comes into a truck drivers life on the border and into Old Mexico. The road. so called, is simply a trail across a shifting, sandy desert. The sand cuts into the working parts of the machinery. while the load is con- stantly listed to, one side and the oth- CT, as the roadbed lurches across sage brush and cactus. It takes a mighty good trtck to stand a, trip to Namiqui- pa and back and not go into the shop for 8 good overhauling."
 MT. Florida's experience and untir- ing energy enabled him to establish a service which, perhaps, has not equalled in the history of the motor industry. As evidence of his success ir obtaining the complete co-epera- ton of the different manufacturer 8 representatives, mechanics and drivers he was rendered dinner the night before he left Columbus, in apprecia- tion of his work in helping to place the motor truck in the proper light before the United States War Depart ment. At this dinner be was made the recipient of a beautiful gold watch, inscribed, Presented to J. W. FTori- uA' dS q lOhSH oI dppTcCidlioH Oy lIlc- chanics and helpers-United States Motor Transportation Department, Columbus, N. M, June 18th. 1916" MT. Florida prizes this watch as one of his most valued treasures.
 Captain Lee, of the United States Army, succeeds MT. Florida as su- perintendent of the Transportation Department at Columbus. Captain Lee, MT. Florida says. is most efi- ,cient and able officer. MT. Florida speaks in the highest terms of the courtesy and cooperation of the Army Officers at the front. and says that but for their interest and cheerful assistance it would have been doubly difficult to obtain the satisfactory or sanitation which has been brought about in the Transportation Depart ment.
