Medical CORPS
HAS new STYLE
OF AMBULANCES
New Units for First Aid Work
Also Formed After Much ;
Careful Study

/ That the Medical Corps OF the
| United States army has not been neg
: lected in the war departments plans
! for military preparedness is evidenced
, by the adoption of new standard
type OF army ambulance and the or
ganization of new medical units known
as ambulance companies"
While public attention has conferred
largely upon defense bills in Congress
and troop movements to the Mexican
border, special beard of medical OH
GERS has been developing higher
standard OF efficiency in the equip
llent o. the Aed:tll Corps, and this
standard is exemplified in fifty-two
vehicles just built by the White Com
pany and placed in service on the
Mexican border, says the New York
World .r.: D. ~=.. -
These machines have been organ
lied into four companies, each COM
posed of twelve motor ambulances
and one three-quarter-ton repair
truck 80. =. +. e..
Having observed the speed with
which the motor truck industry was
modified to meet the sudden demands
for army transport trucks, the medi-
cal department provided for equal
promptness in military emergency
by designing a standard ambulance
BODY that can be built by any body
builder .: -.
While this plan puts the government
in a position to order bodies from any
reputable body builder and to stimuli
taneously order chassis from motor
truck manufacturers, the standardiza-
ton has not restricted the design of
the ambulances in the matter of up
to-date facilities and methods of trans
porting wounded soldiers.
All types of ambulances now in SER
vice in Europe were considered be-
fore the ambulance board evolved the
new standard The new design has
capacity for eight patients seated
inside and an orderly riding on front
with the driver. Four patients can
be carried on stretchers or filters. The
two filters composing the upper tier
are suspended by iron hooks with
spiral spring attachments.
The seats are leafed and hinged in
such a manner that when they are
not occupied by sitting patients the
upholstered side is turned down, form
ing a floor on which standard United
States army filters may be carried.
Under these deck seats are compart-
ments for ten one-gallon tins of re-
serve gasoline and other supplies.
Beneath the front seat on each side
are compartments for carrying water
tanks. Between the stanchions at tho
right of the drivers seat is COM
partment for carrying emergency med
icineS and dressings.

The commander of the post happen.
ed to see two old 15-inch Dahlgren guns
lying unused side by side on the
dock. He conceived of the idea of
converting them into a magnet of
enormous power by winding sabmar-
inc cable around them
The magnet, which stands about 10
feet from the ground, is Is feet long
and has eight miles of cable around
the upper part of the guns. 1t takes a
force of $4,000 pounds to pull off the
armature. A crowbar applied to the
magnet requires the combined force

All Saints' Dav.

Tuesday, the vigil of All Saints, as of all holy days of obligation, was a fast day in the Catholic church. All Saints day, also known as All Hal- lows day, the vigil was known as All Halloween, now shortened to Hallow- cen. There were many interesting be- liefs about this vigil jn earlier times, and it became in the popular mind a night for ghosts to walk, fairies and elves to play pranlls and the future to be predicted. Various games have survived, and very substantial gnomes and elves play tricks which are some times annoying but more often purely good natured, thoughtless mischief.
 All Souls day, which follows All Saints, is designed to commemorate all who have died in the Christian faith In the Roman church the two days are kept separately; ill the Anglican, al- though the second festival is still re- tained in the calendar as black letter feast, the two days are usually combined, the All Saints day services taking on some of the characteristics also of All Souls.

 Driver Henry Williams.

In a recent edition of the Armour magazine appears a narticle written about Henry Williams of this city who has been in the employ of the Armour Go. for the past 30 years. The article says: We: have at Norwich a driver by the name of Henr yWilliams. Hen ry is 65 years old and has completed 30 years of service with the Armour Company. Henry is an Indiana full bIooded Indian and a descendant of the Narragansett tribe which formerly had their reservation in the hills between New London and Norwich. In addi- tio nto driving one of our teams, he looks after the stables. Our stable equipment at Norwich, horses, wag- ons and stable combined with stack up with anly similar equipment in any territory in the United States. Hne- ry thinks as much of the appearance of the teams as he does of his family. He has never been known to be late for work in the morning, and you can usually find him polishing up his har
 ness at the stable when most of us are thinking about going to bed at night Our two drivers at Norwich consist of Henry Williams, ST., and his son, Henry Williams, Jr., who has been in the employ of the company for the past three and one-half years and they are the two best drivers from the standpoint of efficiency, faithfulness and loyalty that I know about around our various branch house organizations says Superintendent George A.

HALLOWEEN GHOSTS!
They Were Here, There and Every. where on the Streets Last Niqht.

The masked marvels were every where on the streets last night in ob- servance of Halloween. Riddles from the tirfiest to the largest, dressed in all kinds of rigs. paraded the streets. But instead of the ghosts, witches and other Halloween beings sweeping downf1 way was paved for new one Charlie Chaplin. Charlie has certainly made hit with the kiddies and his makeup appeared to appeal more to the children than the ghast1y ghosts and the cruel. hard-hearted looking witches.
 One of these notorious Charles on Main street had a bunch of kids a mile long. trailing behind, everyone flowing over with mirth and laughter and they were not of a very quiet ma. ture. Several young ladies tried to baff1e the public by dressing as men, perhaps they did. to some extent, but in attempts to make themselves ap- pear manly they were complete fail ures. It can't be done.

SECOND SESSION OF
 MEMS BIBLE CLASS
The Real Test of Life Was the Topic
 for Discussion.

The second session of the Mems Bi- bIe Study club was held at the Y M c. A. Tuesday evening and the topic of the study was The Real Test of Life. The scripture selected was Luke, the 10th chapter and the 18th to the 37th verses; the lawyers question to Jesus and the story of the good Sa- maritan.
 The following thoughts were brought out in the discussion. The greatest need in the world today is the need of self sacrificing men, those who are willing to do for others; the lawyer made mistake when he supposed that he could do something to merit the but can only be secured by the sur render of the life to Christ. That the man who loves God as he should will surely love his fellow man, but it is quite possible for a man to love his fellow man and yet not to love God.
 That the men whom we would most expect to help the fellow who had fallen among thieves failed to help him and therefore failed to practice what they preached: that while the good Samaritan did good service in helping the unfortuna.e man in a phy- sical way the greatest gift he made was his gift of real heart sympathy.
 Our neighbor is not only the man who lives or works next to us but that every man who needs us and whom it is possible for us to reach in any way is our neighbor; that the Jericho road runs close by our homes and our business and in fact we walk the Jericho road every day that we live and there are many there whom we can help.
