LITERALLY COASTS UP THE HILLS'' Having recently purchased from you a new Willys-Six touring car, wish to state that I am well pleased with this machine Tt is wonderful performer and literally coasts up the hills seemingly without effort, and in addition to this it is the smoothest rum ming machine l ever sat in. It rides like Pullman coach, and vibration seems to be en- tirely eliminated

Clothing Soldiers is Heavy Job
 for Quartermaster's Department

Washington, D. C., May 9.-The
 busiest department of the army at the
 present time, and probably for long time to come, is the quartermaster's department. No one outside of the
 service can have any idea of, the num-
 Der and variety of duties that the of ficers of this department have to per form in time of war.
 As laid down officially, it is the
 duty of the quartermaster's depart ment, under the direction of the sec
 retary of war, to purchase and dis
 tribute to the army all military stores and supplies, requisite for it's use, which other corps are not directed by
 law to provide; to furnish means of transportation for the army, it's mili- tary stores and supplies, and to pro- vide for and pay all incidental expen- ses of the military service which other
 corps are not directed to pay for and provide.
 Nominally the duties of the quarter
 masters department embrace all de- tails of the army organization affect ing clothing, food and quarters, but in practice the work covers much more ground than these items suggest. Ev- cry officer of the department must be an accurate and intelligent bookKeep- CT, for every article of the soldiers equipment is in the care of the quart ermaster's department and must be accounted for i.
 Blankets, tables, buckets, brooms and many other articles in addition to arms and other equipment are in keep ing of the company quartermaster and he must be able to produce or account for them at all times. He is respon- sible for the cleanliness and hygiene of the soldiers quarters. He is re- sponsible for the men being we'll fed and given plenty of variety in their diet. The quick and orderly distri- button of meals is his special province, and he is expected to see that there is no waste.
 The company quartermaster must also see that his men are we'll clothed and we'll shod, and must keep a record of all the articles of kit in each mans
 possession, replacing any garments o1 underclothing which become wornout by fair wear and tear; and charging the men, through their accounts, for anything lost or destroyed owing to
 carelessness. Beyond this he is ex-
 pected to know the whereabouts of every man of his company so that he
 may figure how many men will be Gin mess" each day, so that he can indent accurately for the amount of rations required.
 Entails Heavy Work.
 The amount of work which these va ,.iol1s details involve in thn matter of, an army of several hundred thou
 sand men is difficult to appreciate lespecially as the duration of war
 soldier, being untrained in army rou- tine and methods, cannot be expected
 to look after himself and his belong | ings so carefully as could be desired

 q never made trip, and I have made many, that the car did not go the whole dis tance on her own power, and go strong. The Overland motor in the old car never stopped or hesitated for moment since l bought the car in July, 1914.

WILSON WITH
SUFFRAGETS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 26.
Pres. Wilson yesterday assured
delegation of New York suffra-
gettes of his hearty support in
the special suffrage election in
that state. They were told to bear
his approval of woman suffrage
back to the voters of the Empire
state.
In urging votes for women by
states the president said he was
doing no more than carrying out
the mandates of his party.
The president gave no indica-
ton of change from his stand
against a national woman suf-
frage amendment and in favor of
state action, but said:
1T is time for the people of
the states Of this country to show
the world In what practical sense
they have learned the lessons of
democracy, that they are fighting
for democracy because they be-
lieve in 1t, and that there is no
application Of democracy which
they do not believe in.
1T seems to me that this is the
time for the states OF this Union
to take this action"

Up to Parents.
Part of the problem of the
efficiency Of the schools in war
time must be faced by the par
ents," declared Mrs. Elwell T.
Hoyt of the Parent-Teachers asso-
Citations.
1.-THE big wages offered children
now are a great temptation. The
parents must face this and be
willing to sacrifice the immediate
gain, for the sake of the education
OF their boys and girls"
Reuben Jones, secretary of the
Seattle school board, emphasized
the need for economy. Seattle.
and many other cities, are near
the limit of possible expenditure
for Schools" he stated. Per
haps the war period would be
good one to begin retrenchment."
o. c. Pratt, superintendent of
the Spokane schools, objected.
Don't think" he urged, that
the schools will ever be run for
less money than they are now. 1t
Is going to cost more instead of
less, to do the things that must
be done. The matter of physical
care and vocational training alone
will cost much more money before
they are done as they should be-"
Less Per Person.
In this view DR.. Il. A. Layton
OF Tacoma agreed. II find" he
said, that when the schools take
the initiative in such matters as
the care of teeth, vaccination, etc.,
many parents get busy who would
never do It otherwise. This costs
more money collectively, but 1t
costs less individually"
War duties of the schools,
Supt. w. II. Geiger OF Tacoma said,
