to my way Of thinking, the driver of

chanic and be able to make the ordi-
nary repairs that come up in thc
routine work. The sergeant in charge
of this section should be a man that

others and have the executive ability
to control them. Then you come TO
"A still higher grade when you com
bine them into platoons. companies
and battalions and put officers In

Since at the present time there is a
way of enforcing a standardization OF
cars in this country. Captain Johnston
suggests that the only course to be

PLAN FOR MOTOR

Truck Equipment Is Most
Important in Prepared
ness Program.

The army transportation problem
and the urgent need of a suffcieht
motor truck equipment is discussed
in paper prepared by Captain u.
Johnston. United States army. OF the
staff of Major General Leonard WOOD
for the Motorist, and which Will ap-
pear in this weeks issue OF that pun
ication. That the hour Is at mana
when the all-importance of motor
TRANSPORTATION for military purposes
must be recognized in this country Is
the opinion of Captain Johnston.
Regarding that phase of national
preparedness which concerns the mo-
tor-propelled venice, captain JoHh-
ston states:
Il am not an expert engineer or
any sort. but do know little of the
problem Of transportation which the
army has to meet. And ] do know II
Is imperative that the automobile en-
gineers and manufacturers get to-
gether to solve that problem. 1t Is
impossible for the automobile engi-
neers to find the solution of the prob
lem until they familiarize themselves
with the conditions under which their
intelligences must work, what their
lob is, what would be expected OF
that they will encounter"
At the present time. he points out,
the transportation system in use by
our army is antiquated as measured
by the standards of the hour. con-
sisting as it does for the most part OF
etams drawn by mules. with the re-
suit that the radius Of ACTIVITY and
its ability to supply men on the firing
line are exceedingly limited.
1--WE must have" continued Captain
Johnston, "a better transportation or
ganzation and better equipment,
which. of course, means motor trans
portaton." After citing the enormity
of the transportation problem of the
European armies, which involves the
supply of subsistence to the men on
firing line and of ammunition for the
artillery and other fighting arms,
Captain Johnston states:
what / have been doing lately,
trying to do through a number of
manufacturers, is to get them to
standardize and begin to calculate on
units. BY unit l mean this: We will
take as the smallest subdivision of the
unit one truck with with its driver
and helper, and we will say, conform
ing to the military idea, that five of
these trucks form a section and that
| two of these sections shall form a
platoon, and that three platoons shall
| form q company. This company uses
sixty cargo bearing trucks. ! may say
| that the cargo to be carried, a ton
and half seems to be pretty close
| to the idea for "A division train. that
| is 5000 pounds net cargo; for the
simple reason and the very vital rea-
son that when you depart from hard
roads and from good transportation
conditions and strike the rotten
bridges that you find everywhere
when you get above the one and a
half-ton truck you increase your OBJ
stacles and difficulties very much. In

GASOLINE PRICES
SURE TO DECLINE
Engineer Declares That
Motoring Is Cheaper
Than 3 Years Ago.

lF NJ can't see the reason for all this
excitement about the price OF gaso-
iline, nor can ! understand why some
.hfolk who ought to know better take
itthe matter SO seriously" says Horace
v r.. Thomas, chief engineer of the REQ
n Motor Car company.
"Of course II there were the slight
est chance of 40c gasoline in the near
future or even a chance that the
present prices would continue, 1t
would be different. But anyone with
even the most superficial knowledge
of conditions knows that Is impos-
sible.

aluminum-though that is now twice

It is a well known fact that the American man
spends more money for the amusement Of his
wife and children than any other man in the
world.
No one is more ready to spend than he, PRO
VIDED THE SERVICE is WORTH THE
OUTLAY.
But motoring is a form of amusement which
many families are finding NOT WORTH THE
PRICE, with the running costs of the average
car what they are today.
And this at time when the average car
LOOKS more efficient than ever before in its
history.
The experience of the typical motorst how
ever, goes to show that TRUE ECONOMY
and TRUE EFFICIENCY in car design were
never so variable as they are TODAY.
recent authority estimates that motor car
INEFFICIENCY is costing the motorists of
this country no less than TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
With all EXPENSES GOING UP as they
are, the cost for 1916 bids fair to go above
the half billion mark.
The very words efficiency" and economy"
have been so exploited that they stand at
discount with the clear minded motorist.

IOEL'S LEGACY
BY MARY ANGEL PURvIs.

Joel Cawlett's first thought on re-
ceiVing notice that he had fallen heir
10 hundred thousand dollars was TO
conceal the fact from his neighbors.
II stunned the little man. in fact
he had, indeed, known of the rich
California uncle; his mother had told
him, as if she spoke of a myth; but
by the time Joel was twenty, and left
alone in the world, he had forgotten
all about him.
Happily the news came through a
San Francisco lawyer, and nobody in
Fouracres knew. So Joel kept right
on with his little dairy farm, and the
neighbors attributed it's gradual en-.
largement to the profits OF the bust
ness.
He felt himself altogether unworthy
or the wealth that was his. He did
not know what to do with it. He nut

and left 1t to accumulate, except for
the thousand or two he used in buy
ing pedigreed cows.
L never thought Joel had such a
head on his shoulders" the neighbors
began to say. IF he looked more OF
man he might have something of a
pick among the girls"
But the girls had always laughed
at little Joel, and, not knowing Of his
wealth, continued to make him the
good-natured butt of their pleasan-
tries.
All except the Stevens girls. Dolly
Stevens had always been kind to Joel
when he came in shyly, rarely, of an
evening. for chat, and sat with his
hat in his hands on the extreme edge
of the chair. Perhaps that was be-
cause Maudie, her little sister, was a
cripple. She had a twisted foot, and
operations cost more than was to be
thought of. Besides. Jim Stevens had
always believed she would grow out
OF 1t" and when he died the debts to
be paid made the thought absurd.
Maudie. aged twelve, looked to Joel
like a beautiful bird trapped by the
foot. She hobbled painfully from room
to room. but however bad her pain, she
always had a smile for Joel.
The first persons he went to
see after his good fortune were the
Stevens. At first he almost wanted
to tell them, but his courage failed
him when he sat ON the edge of the
chair, and they only thought that Joel
was shyer and more silent even than

The horse is a domestic animal of

tail and a head; this differentiates
him from ether animals. Before you
can ride horse you must get on;

but instead OF riding the animal the
animal has ridden them. Most saddles

usual. Besides, 1t would have been
hideous to say anything when Maudie
was suffering even more than usual.
Little Joel went away, and he was
nearly home when the great idea came
to him.
Maudie's foot must be cured. But
how could he go to her and ask to pay
FOR the operation? How could he tell
them, and, II he did. he knew they
would refuse. The Stevens were very
proud. SO little Joel set his brains
to work.
What do you think has happened,

when, a week later, he visited the
house in an agony Of shyness. "A

that the operation had been a COM

Maudie was home, her foot in plaster.
