ADVISES MOVING

PLAN IS NOW
BEING CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2i.-Move the 10
dustry Of the country to the avainable
sources of labor supply instead Of at
tempting to concentrate the mobile la
Dor Of the country at Industry centres.
already ovcrcrowded and over burdened.
This plan has been advanced TO the
various administrative Offices concerned
by an expert Of the Department of
Labor. who has completed a survey or
( the labor-resources Of the country.
Consideration is being given the plan
by the Shipping Board, The War Depart
ment the Council Of National Defence
and the navy II has been adopted In
part by the Shipping Board. II is
understood that the plan will be adopted
generally soon.
The plan calls for decentralization Of
the vast munition Industries Of one kind
and another that are being concentrated
on the Eastern seaboard, particularly
around the Atlantic ports, and the loca
tion OF all new work in the South and
West, where there Is available labor and
in most cases available plants. At pres
ent, II Is point d out, industrial centres
OF the West, particularly the central
west, are being drained Of their work
men who are being crowded into East
ern cities. where the crush is so great
that there is not even housing roof
This S particularly true In the ship
building programme, the work on which
is being concentrated along or near the
Atlantic coast In the centre Of the indus
trial centres which have expanded to the
limit Of presetn facilities, economic and
material.
The Labor Department expert points
out that the shop work now being done
in the shlpyards could be fabricated at
hundreds OF places In the interior where
there are available facilities and trained
wOrkmen and assembled on the coast
wherever there are dock facilities. Up
10 the present time, he said, IL has been
the tendency to centralize all ship work.
Even in fabricated ships the policy Of
bringing every detail Of construction
into one centre has been largely fol-
lowed
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois" the labor
expert said, ARE the centre of the ma
Ginning industry Of the United States.
Every bit Of the machine work needed
for any Of the war industries can be
turned out in this section, where the
necessary labor supply. raw materials
and factories are already concentrated
It is far better TO utilize them than to
create new establishments in other sec
tions necessitating new plants and
equipment, and the moving OF the work
ers and economic adjustment of their
establishment In a new location and a
closing or slowing down Of these oper-
alton plants"
ForcefUl recommendations for the use
Of these existing industrial facilities for
all future war work and the placing OF
all new contracts with them rather than
with plants that must be created are
now before various administration Off
cials This, it is said, is the German
plan that has sustained the German
army three years.

something look like nothing. It means generally the art of fooling the enemy's eyes.
 The moving pictures of the British tanks in action shown recently in this country well exemplified the primary meaning of camouflage. The crawling land ships were covered with streaks and patches of vari-colored paint re- producing light and shadow, to dis guise them from the German airmen or artillery observers. Newspaper readers seeing pictures of heavy guns covered by branches behold an example of camouflage
 Another trick of camouflage is ia mailiar to readers of American his tory, by the name of Quaker guns. On all the fronts of the world war all the armies erect dummy guns made oi tree trunks, as our fathers and grand fathers did in 1861, to draw the enemys 1 fire. But now the camouflage experts 1 have added the modern frill of stimu- lating flash and cloud of smoke for the dummy gun by touching off a 1 charge of loose powder.
 The digging of false trenches that the hostile airman may spot them and
 signal his battery to waste time and shells on an empty ditch is camouflage
 When snipers crawl into No Mans
 Land with grass in their camps ano
 when raiding parties go out at night
 with faces and hands blackened to
 make them as nearly invisible as may l be their officers call it camouflage.

Toward this end, clerks have been searching all records, official and otherwise, in all parts of the country for the purpose of routing Dawson all over the nation with his record annihilating speed demon.
 For the year past the Chalmers has been put through a series of stunts that have developed for public appre- citation the fibre of the current series of cars. Five-passenger touring, sev- en-passenger, sedans and roadsters have been launched into trophy win ming tests of every kind and descrip- tion. At Atlantic Beach, Florida, Dawson broke the record for the Chal- mers classi in Boston, Detroit, Minn- eapolis, Omaha and Chicago, many traffic tests in both low and high speed have been made. In each lnI stance, the Chalmers has demon strated it's capabilities.
 It has been prophesied by Manager O'Neill of the O'Neill Auto company, Chalmers distributor, that before the year 1917 closes, the Chalmers will be the one motor car on the lips of every one, so far 3s speed and stamina con quests are concerned. Great things are looked for and expected for the new series.

BRITISH USE OVERLAND IN
 WAR SERVICE

The staunch construction and ser viceability of Overland cars appears to have made a most favorable i'm pression with the military authorities in India The photograph shows sev- eral Overlands in the. railway work shops in Bombay where shipment of 400 Overlands were recently con- verted into light lorries for military use, according to Manager H. H. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company, local Overland agents.
 When the demand for lorries became serious in India. every new Overland available in that country was pur- chased by the military department and after the Overlands had been bought up other American makes of cars were taken over The action of the authorities, in first taking over the Overlands, was a direct tribute to the excellent service which that make of cars has rendered throughout h. dia, Africa, Mesopotamia and Alden in military work
 The Overland representative in Bombay also sent to the factory a couple more photographs. one show ing an Overland chassis being eX- amined prior to leaving for military service and the other showing a few chasses about to be tested by the Bombay military authorities.

CHALMERS BREAKS
 WORLD'S RECORDS

Smashing every worlds record, the Chalmers Speedster, driven by intrepid Joe Dawson, finished a 24-hour run at the marvellous rate of 79 8-10 miles per hour A total of 1898 miles was made. against 1919 miles, the previous record held by the Hudson. The re- markable run was officially approved by the American Automobile associa- tion and now becomes the accepted record for stock cars in this country The performance was done at Brook lyn, New York.
 At the same time according to tele- graphic advice, a new 100-mile record was established in one hour ten mn- utes and 45-9S-100 seconds. All pre- vious twelve-hour records were also shattered, the Chalmers making 959 miles, against the Hudson mileage of 923. As if this were not enough, the fastest one-hour record for a stock car was established at S3 miles.
 The wonderful Chalmers speed and endurance test was made without a motor stop during the "A hours and Dawson states in his report that no mechanical trouble of any kind was discovered. Officials of the Ameri- can Automobile association were ap- pointed to supervise every feature of the tryout and last Monday morning certificate was issued to the Chal- mers Motor company, indicating that the records made and broken had passed into the files of that associa- tion.

the feature attractions since they rep resent d means of fighting the kaiser within the boundaries of the U. 5. A, according to word received by Ed Ru- dolph. local Ford distributor. r. For the American motorist has come to the realization that the worlds war must be fought at home as well as in the trenches of battle-swept France and Belgium and that he must become the ally of the housewife in the fight against waste. They are both soldiers in a might conservation army, he watching the gasoline tank and tires on his automobile while she saves the bread crusts and the meat ends. Con- sequently, the car owner was never as eager as now to invest in accessor- ies of proven merit that make for economy in the operation and main- tenance of his garage pet.
 Thousands of automobile owners, living in the agricultural sections of the country and touring to Chicago to visit the Ford accessory exhibition, al so will be in sympathy with the at tack to be made on the waSteful horse by the manufacturers of motor tract ors, truck making attachments and automobile traiiers who, in addition to exhibiting their products, will show by lectures, moving pictures and other demonstrations the immense national saving that will result from the sub stltution of motor for equine power on the farm.
 In fact. September, 1917, when the | United States has just crossed the threshold of a terrible war and the ! slogan of the nation is economy" is patently the psychological time for such an exposition as will be staged in the Chicago Coliseum next month for the Ford without question is the most economical of automobiles and the L. 325,25O Americans who own that make or car powerful division in the army or gasoline and tire conservation. The ford, moreover, is the farmers car and the ford accessory show will attract thousands of them, thus serving as a forum where the advantages of motor | power over horse power can be forci- 1 ply driven home.
 The atmosphere of the Ford access sory show will be patriotic and mill tary. The national colors and Ameri- can flags will predominate in the decorations.
 Door-tenders, ushers and other at tendants will be dressed in khaki. Sev eral body makers will exhibit ambu- iahces similar to those that have car
 red thousands of French poilus and
 Enllsh Tommies from the hell of Nc Mans Land to Red Cross dressing sta tlons and field hospitals in the past three years and which will bear the punt of the merciful burden in trans porting the wounded Sammies in inc future.
