MORE COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS.

When the company is In column of
squads, to form the skirmiSh line to
the front, the command would be, "As
skirmishers, guide right Cleft or cen
teri, MARCH !" If then marching, the
corporal of the base squad deploys 1T
and moves straight to the front; if at
halt, he deploys it without advanc-
ing. If the guide be right Oeft), the
other corporals move to the left (righD
front, and in succession from the base
place their squads on the line. If the
guide be center, the corporals in front
of the center squad move to the right;
if at halt to the rear. The cOrporalS
in the rear of the center squad move
to the left front, and each, in success
sion from the base, places his squad on
the line
The company may also be deployed
in an obliQue direction, whether in line
or in column of squads. The captain
points out the desired direction, and
the corporal of the base squad moves
in the direction indicated. The other
corporals, with their squads, conform.
To form the skirmish line to the flank
or rear, the line or column of squads
is turned by squads to the flank or
rear; it is then deployed as described.
The intervals between the men are in
creased or diminished as already de-
scribed in the school of the squad, al
though it may be necessary to add to
the preparatory command, Guide
right Cleft or center)."
To assemble a company deployed as
skirmishers, the captain either desig
mates or takes his post in front of the
element on which the company is to
assemble. At the command, "Assemble,
march," the men move promptly
toward the designated point and the
company is reformed in line. II it Is
to be assembled by platoons, the pla-
ICONS are first conducted to the desig
mated point by the platoon leaders, and
the company is reformed in line.
The platoons individually may be as
sembled by the command, "Platoons,
assembly, march!' This is then exc
the company. But it may also be de-
sired to assemble certain platoons, one
or more, and this may be accomplished
by the command, "Such platoon(s)-
that is "The first and second pla-
toons," or Lieutenant Blanks platoon"
Assembly, march" The move
ment, as said above, is then executed
by the designated platoon or platoons
as described for the company.
1t must be admitted that deploy-
ments by the company are at first con-
fusing to the new soldier. But If he
attends strictly to his corporal, and re-
members his instruction in skirmish-
ing for the squad, he will have no diff
ficulty. All that devolves upon him
will be to do his individual share, and
this, in practically all cases, is confined
to what he has learned in the school
Of the squad. 1t is for his noncom-
missioned officers to handle the squad
in a way to conform with the rest Of
the platoon or company. Nevertheless,
the new soldier-the intelligent Ameri-
can sOldier-will want to know why
he is called upon to execute certain
movements, as well as how to negoti-
ate them. This he can readily learn
If, while performing his own duties to
the best of his ability, he keeps q close
eye upon the composite movement
around him.

linlouslnes.

When Henry first caught this automobile transportation idea he took a half Nelson on 1t, and in his desperation he may have ap- piled the stranglehold, for he got it down and put it's shoulders to the we'll known commercial nut for a fair two out of three and got away with 1t strong.
 Henry got together $50 and added to 1t hide crammed full of energy, some friends and the old "service" stuff which he had stacked away as beginner, and he started the Jenkins Taxicab company. He took on impetus as he drilled the public into the get home-by-auto idea, and each day a few more of the boys were en- couraged to miss their last cars and take the 'taxi." Henry is one Of the strongest advocates in the world of the theory that you never meet any prominent people if you go home on the last car. You have to ride in an automobile "early in the morning" to get acquainted with tho "highbrows." And it's dollars to doughnuts that Henry is right.
 Henry Jenkins is one of those hail fellows well met, full of friendship and hospitality for those people that he likes. and he seems to like everybody he knows.

ADAPTABILITY OF AUTO
 MOST VALUABLE ASSET

"The four-door toursedan not only adapts itself to all weather conditions ranging from bitter cold to intense heat. but it is available for all pas senger car utility requirements It is just as suitable for fashionable thea Ire party as it is for an informal pie mic jaunt out fin the country.
 SJust as a man builds his home for permanent use. so is this model of inc Cole eight designed for permanent use. Only the highest grade of mate. rials, insuring lasting service, have been used in it's construction. AL though ultrafashionable in it's furnish ings, there Is nothing of the fad type which will quickly pass out of style. In a word. the whole car is designed with the object of making it just as attractive three years from now as it Is today,
 The big demand for our four door toursedans convinces us that we were right in introducing a new and ex- clusively original car of this type the public wants the best possible value for it's money and the more adaptable the car is for various uses the better Is the investment"

DON'T OVERSLEEP AND THEN

It's great to lie abed these cool. brisk mornings" said John ". Bate. vice president of the Mitchell Motors company Inc.). wink at the clock and turn over for just 15 minutes more sleep. Even the busiest and most active of us must admit that; but. the great trou- ble with the average automobile criver is. that he stretches 15 minutes into 90, hustles through oncs-oyer shave, grabs a nasty breakfast, jumps into his car which has stood all night In cold gar aso and races his engine for all its worth. thinking that he'll get 1t warmed up quickly and be on his way to the office.
 That's all right as far as 1t goes; but, this same average man never stops 70 think of the damage that can bo done by rAcinH his engine in an attempt to heat 1t quickly,
 Every ear owner wants to make his car go farther and last longer at the miniynn upkeer expense. Here are a

couple of facts that he ought to keep be- fore him every morning when he steps on the starter button:
 '1. When a motor stands all night, the oil. of course runs off the cylinder walls and bearings, down into the crank case. Consequently, it's going to take q few minutes to properly lubricate these parts.
 ''2. The best way to warm motor Is to lot 1t run slowly for three or four minutes. By doing that you give the oil chance to work up onto the cylinder walls, pis- tons and bearings.
 If every motorist will only be care ful about this one thing" said Mir. Bate, i've will find there will be a considerable saving in gasoline and oil, and a reduc- ton in repair bills Racing a motor causes excessive waste of gasoline and oil; and. in time. might cause irrepara- ble damage.
 ''Thc patriotic thing to do, of course, Is to be as economical of gasoline and oil. as you are of meat and potatoes. It's the greatest thing to do, the best thing to do. and the cheapest thing to do'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-11

and it is a settled fact that he knows practically everybody in Birmingham.
 From a modest flock of flivvers to drove of Franklins--the best cars in the world, Henry says, without batting an eye-the Jen- kins Cab and Auto company has grown, and today they can trans port you all over Birmingham in a Franklin limousine that makes you think you are on steel rails in q Pullman car There is the cigarette holders. matches, electric lights, silk curtains, an umbrella rack, with drip pan for the rain stick, Q telephone to talk to the chauf- feur; in fact. you are downright comfortable when you get seated in one of these rolling homes. There is everything that Is needed, and 1t would take a passenger with a monumental nerve to ask for anything that he didn't find on board this palace on four rubber wheels.
 In all, this company operates nine Franklins-bought from the Southern garage, Charles Denegre, president, state distributors for Franklins. Mir. Denegre was suc- cessful in landing this big order in view of the many virtues of his car, but more especially on account of the wonderful mileage per gall lon of gasoline, and the air cooled engine, minus the radiator and water that generally retards the chauffeurs' religious progress in
