camp Mills, Long Island, oct, o.
The one big event of our stay in Long
Island so far was the reception at
Forest Hills" To begin with, let us
explain that Forest Hills is mil.
lionaire colony about IL miles from
Hampstead. 1t was founded about
six years ago by Mrs Russell Sage,
the wealthy widow of Russell Sage.
The Hills is a sunique as it is beau
tiful and the place can hardly be de-
scribed on paper. 1t is place to be
seen to be appreciated. But, back to
the subject.
Twelve hundred men from the
Rainbow Division" were invited to
attend reception and dinner at the
Hills" through the Y. NJ. c. A. and
, / happened to be one of the lucky ones:
AT Different Homes.
At 400 p. m. the men assembled
and a special train chartered by the
"Hills" carried us to our destination.
We arrived at the Hills" at $50 and
We're assigned to different homes. Our
hosts met us and took us to their
homes in cars. Arriving at the homes
we found dinner awaiting us, and our
appetites whetted to an edge by; long
subsistence on beans and bacon, did
full justice to the many delicacies set
before us.
After dinner all the men were taken
was provided. The 165th Infantry
Band of Ohio opened the program by
an hours concert. After this a num-
Der of specially acts by several Broad
way stars were put on. Among the
stars were Fred Wynn of the Passing
Show" who acted as spokesman.
Frank keenan,, one of Americas fore.
most actors, Helen Keller, James J.
Corbett, and several others from the
RAISING Show" and some of the Shu.
bert attractions. This program was
the feature Of the evening as the art
lists we're among the foremost on the
American stage. 1..%#
Dance Concludes Program.
Concluding the evenings entertain.
ment was a dance held on the pave
ment. After this We adjourned to the
different homes. A special train was
provided to take the men to camp but
many of them staid until the wee
sma hours" and were brought back
to camp by, their hosts in machines.
Biggest Thing Of Kind,
This is the biggest thing OF its kind
ever pulled off in this country and
several New York papers commented
on it.
The novelty, and the spirit shown
by the people of Forest Hills were the
two things of the entertainment that
took the men off their feet. 1t is said
that several Of these entertainments are
to be held while we are here. l think
all the men will join with me in three
cheers for Forest Hills"
Expect to Leave Soon.
We expect to leave here in the very
near future and l wish to inform the
people of Oskaloosa how to address

"The production and distribution OF
food has become one of our greatest
problems. We must have more food,
greater crops and better distribution
and we must conserve and avoid
waste. Here is where the utilitarian
and economic value of the passenger
car plays big part.
Five Acres to Support Horse.
Five acres of tillable land are re-
quired to support horse; three acres
to support mani If each automobile
takes the place of only one span of
horses, the 3,700000 cars in use re-
lease 100000 acres of land for pro-
duction of food stuffs for more than
100000 menz-the total force en-
ployed i'll the war by all the allies.
The passenger car on the farm
does release the horse either entirely
or so that it can be put to work in
the field while errands are being done
by the car or light produce taken to
the market. Motorizing the farm is
the biggest step that can be taken in
the direction of efficient and economic

Economic Value of Automobile
On the Farm Pointed Out
by President of the
Paige Company.

The farm market for passenger cars
always a great factor in the motor
car industry, assumes a greater inn
portance than ever this season.
"The promise of abundant harvests,
with possibly a worlds record for
oats, and the prevailing war condi-
tions make the potentialities of the
farm, market greater than they have
ever been in the history of our indus
try" says Harry NJ. Jewett, president
of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car COM
pany. Already 40 per cent of all the
motor cars in America are owned by
farmers, this large proportion being
due to the great utilitarian value of
a passenger car. The farmer finds a
thousand and one uses for an auto
mobile. Give him financial ease and
he will buy literally.
Attention to the Farmer.
The manufacturers of passenger
cars are fully alive to the situation
and, while they will in no way curtail
their distribution to cities or neglect
the city buyer, they will pay especial
attention to the, farmer. There will
undoubtedly be great activity in the
fall in this direction.
while the maker of passenger cars,
like any other manufacturer, wants to
increase his sales and broaden his
market, he feels that in supplying the
farmer with a good serviceable car
he is doing a distinct service to the

Lookout Mountain on High

Ascending picturesque Lookout
mountain in little more than eleven

splendid feat for a passenger automo-
bile, Machines that have made the

The big public is waking up
to the truth about gasoline waste,
tire mileage, friction loss and de-
probation.
People keep right on buying
cars-but they arc thinking more
about constructive service and
use.
The automobile is a trench
dous factor in American life and
achievement, In national health
and efficiency, in conservation
of human energy, in the ready
contact between men and their
affairs. :,
Automobile owners want to
use their cars more freely. They
are impatient of weight, rigidity,
excessive upkeep-all the old and
arbitrary restrictions.
What do you, as an American
citizen and automobile owner,
think about this matter1 Do
you favor a restriction of use, or

ster is so easy to get at, that we have
found the average owner thoroughly
competent to take care of it.
The roadster gives the salesman
his great opportunity TO beat his own
sales records. 1t enables him to close
more sales because he can cover a
wider territory and see more custom
ers. His car is so accessible that he
can take care of it himself and under
the rear deck of the Studebaker he has
plenty of room for his sample cases,
personal baggage, etc. Bad streets,
steep hills or bad weather are no OBJ
stacle to his car, and he does not have
TO depend upon street cars, railroad

The secondhand value is

This is emphasized because
there is a section of the public

that pile up operating cost and

By all means, girls, prepare a
lemon lotion to keep your skin flex-

soon realize that true loveliness does
not mean the powdery look or waven
colorlessness of some hot-house
flower, but is typifed by the velvety
softness of your skin, your peach like
complexion and rosy-white hands.
At the cost o. q small jar or or
binary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint Of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex

of two fresh lemons into a bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through a fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every won9-
an knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan. and
is the ideal skin softener, smoother
and beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO IN THE WAR.

the front will be looked after.
If the time comes when women
must go into Industry, the burden
of caring for children must be shift
ed from many mothers. Homes or
nurseries must be found for infants.
1t is the Red Cross that is called upon
to meet these emergencies.
Unified War Relief.
In all great emergencies charity is
prompt to act. Money comes pouring
in. Relief organizations spring up
overnight. Men and women work with
self-sacrificing zeal.
Charity to be most effective must
have system. Separate and uncoOr-
dinated organizations cannot achieve
the best results. Linked with the
Red Cross and working through the
Red Cross these same organizations
would achieve results a hundredf0ld
greater. They must practice some of
the lessons learned from business in
recent years and learned again in
the experience of relief agencies
abroad in the early days of the great
war.
Between the Red Cross and other
relief organizations there should be
cooperation. The Independent organi-
cations must constitute a sort of re
lief militia" or service force, which
in time of war shall merge with the
Red Cross just as the national guard
merges with the regular army.
Big Brother of the Service.
The Red Cross as we'll is the big
brother of the medical service. The
army and navy cannot get along
without it. Without it a warning ma
ton is almost helpless, for the rea-
son that a nation in time of war is
unable to provide an adequate med
cal organization without civilian aid.
In no war have there ever been
enough nurses and surgeons. As no
chain is stronger than its weakest link,
so no army is stronger than its Red
Cross. So clearly is this understood
that in time of war the government
requires the Red Cross to give all its
energy and facilities to the nation
caring for the fighting men and their
dependents at home.
Chartered by Congress.
The Red Cross is the only Organi-
cation authorized by the government
to render war relief service. 1t acts
under a charter from the government.
Congress passed the act incorporating
it. This act made the president its
official head and placed representa-
tive of the army and navy on its di-
recting staff.
