HUDSON SIX IN WAR SERVICE
RickSnbacheer Drove American Auto
for General Pershing.

Eddie Rickenbacher, the famous
racing driver who went to France
some time ago to drive for General
Pershing, found this life too quiet. He
secured a transfer to the aviation
section, and now is learning to fly. In
the following extract fro ma letter he
tells. some of his experiences:
after leaving the states. / enlisted
as private chauffeur for General Per-
shing. but upon my arrival In France
I realized that 1t was not the position
I desired. Consequently I transferred
to the aviation section and 1t was here
that I found a Hudson super-siX,
which I drove until a few weeks ago.
This car has given excellent service
and was in good running condition
when l left same. Surprising as 1t
may seem, the speedometer registered
5000 miles for the two months IN
which the car was in my care, having
made frequent trips from Paris to the
front, along all the sectors from Ver-
dun to Switzerland. During this time,
tho car gave me absolutely no trouble
and was always ready for immediate
call from my superior officers, which
were indeed many, and roads that
were frequently In n very bad condi-
tlon. At present ] know of four
supcr-sixes IN the signal corps Of the
American army. All of these are CIV

EUROPEAN CAR COMPETITION
Foreign Makers Will Try American
Markets After War.

Reports of a European "invasion"
Of motor cars following the war have
been brought back from across the
Atlantic by Mercer engineers, who
haze been abroad on their annual
trip to study latest automob bile devel-
cpments
Some astute Americans have been
busy in Europe these three hard years
of war" said one of the Mercer en-
GlHeers in his report. ''They have
been educating the foreign makers
how to combine reflnements, in which
they lead. with production. in which
the~Yankces were easily the cham
pions. The result will be some of the
large munitions plants converted into
mctor-car factories with large output
to enter into American trade.
But we expect to meet them by in
stalling the European refinements
just as fast as they are developed.
Having kept in close touch with Euro
pean manufacture for years, we arc
to year and take advantage of II.
what is designed for European use
will hardly do for the American who
has been used to a car that he could
step on without any damage. over
there the tendency is toward the
smaller each year. The motor speed
meantime is being increased thru the
refinements 1t Is not un-
Common to see cars with average sized
bodies getting more than 25 miles to
the gallon of petrol
And, speaking of fuel economy,
we over here. don't begin to under
stand what that means. We thot we
had taken great steps forward when
we brought the Mercer up II and IL
miles as an average. But Europe has
gape further than we becaus there the
gone further than we because there the
can't eXDect here"

EFFIcIENCY OF MOTOR TRUCKS
Problem of Expensive Hauling Over

Problem of Expensive Hauling Over
come by Eastern Contractor
When the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany recently started to spend the
500. .00Ol that was appropriated
for plant extensions. the erection OF
blowing engine house for a blast
furnace at Sparrow's Point. Md.
raised n problem in hauling, says the
Power Wagon. II was decided to use
the excavated material to FIJI the low
and submerged areas near the plant.
Rails were put down and small dump
cars were employed, but soon II be-
came apparent that the cost OF tear
ing up the rails TO reach each new
dumping point was prohibitive
Having heard OF the remarka Bile
hauling accomplishments achieved by
Stedman Bent Of Philadelphia, one OF
the largest hauling contractors in the
country, the superintendent of the Job
appealed to Mr.. Brent to do the work
with motor trucks. with a fleet or
6a g1ve-ton motor trucks steam shovels
and other equipment at his command,
there was little doubt that Mr.. Brent
could perform the work in the short
est possible time and at great saving
In money over the cost of hauling the
material In dump cars.
A fleet OF five-ton power dump
ing motor trucks and three steam
all owned by the Philadelphia
contractor, were quickly put to work
and the cost was Just as quickly cut
in half. AS result Mr. Bent secured
a contract to haul 10000 yards of ex-
cavated material at the same place.
In spite of the fact that the ground
was covered with IL to Is inches of
soft. black mud, the machines were
able to move their loads much faster
than the dump cars and they had the
further advantage Of being able to
deposit their loads in Is or 20 differ
ent places without waiting for the
ira cks TO be moved. For several
weeks the motor trucks were success
fully operated in water up to the hubs.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Thrift Stamps Will Enable
Small Buyer to Do His Bit
Campaign To Start Soon.

bly, for the same amount as the
one just completed, will begin in
February. 1t will be different
from the first two in that there
will be no $50 certificates. The
minimum subscriptions will be
500. Issuing bonds in small
denominations increased the
work of the treasury department
enormously, not only in their
issuance, but in interest pay
ments. The reason for issuing
the $50 bonds in the first place
the desire to have the man
who can afford to spare only
$50 loan his money to the gov
ernment-has disappeared with
the inauguration Of the war on
thrift saving stamps plan. These
stamps will be offered to every
one who has only SIS, or only 25
cents at a time to invest. The
stamps will be placed on sale
early in December, but it is not
expected that the $2,OOO,OOO,-
900, which it is hoped will be
sold, will be disposed of before
late next summer.
Uncle Sam has set in motion
another great "win-the- war"
money campaign to catch the
nations vagabond 25c pieces. 1t
is theformall launching of the new
$2,OOO,OOO.OO0 War Sayings
Certificate plan.
If you have a quarter you
don't know what to do with to-
day-or any day during the next
year-drop into a postoffice, or
your bank, or even some depart
ment store or railroad station in
your town, and buy a "Thritt
Stamp"
Take it home as a nest egg,
and watch it grow" When
you get 16 of them, go back to
the postoffice and cash them in
for a "War Savings Certificate
Stamp" Then you have some
thing which cost you $412; and
which you can cash in five years
hence-when your money has
helDed whin the Roche-tOr ex-
actly $500.
To help you save the Thrift
Stamps the postofflce will fur
nlsh you free with a Thrift
Card" bearing 16 alluring spaces
for the Decent stamps.
If you want to buy War Saw
ings Certificate outright, it will
cost you $4.12 during December
and January, with a penny a
month added until the close of
the offer at the end of 1918.
With the first War Savings
Certificate Stamp, you will be
given another enticing card with
twenty blanks. This when filled
in gives you a full-fedged War
Savings Certificate, the total
cost of which is $82.4O with
penny a month per stamp added
after January, 1919 and which
is redeemable on January 1, 1928
for full 500.
What makes this plan of lend
ing your spare change to the
government even more attract
i've, is the loophole offered of
getting rid of the stamps or GER
tihcates-at proht-if you get
in a pinch for money. At any
time on ten days written notice
they will be taken in and three
per cent interest additional paid.
To emphasize it's the small
cash that's wanted. the govern
ment will refuse to issue more
that 500 worth of stamps at
one time, or allow any one per-
son to hold more than $1,000
worth.
The greater part of the funds
obtained under the plan will be
spent within the borders of the
United States.

Is Twenty The Dangerous Age For Mem

Furnished by Cosmopolitan Magazine.l
AT the age of twenty man is
liable to do almost anything. He is
stepping from late youth into early
manhood. He is about to take his
place as citizen with right to a
voice ia the affairs of the nation
He is harassed by responsibilities
and attendant doubts and fears. At
this age young man spends most of
his time arranging his necktie and
encouraging a feeble growth OF down
that is slightly observable just south
OF his nose. Occasionally he falls in
loye-flrts with matrimony--es -
capes. falls in love all over again
escapes once more. Many professors
OF one thing or another. all learned
men, consider that the age of twenty
is the most dangerous for men. 1t
is either make or break with them
then. Samuel Marvin, in October
Cosmopolitan. writes story (the
beginning of a series) about this
dangerous age. Henry Claverly
known as Henry the Ninth, is the
hero and the first story is entitled.
Henry is Twenty. +" There is
enough youthful vigor, genuine DIS
tress and foolishness in it to make
any man or woman look back and
thank their lucky stars that they
got past twenty with credit.
