Hot Race,

A lanGuid youth of Washington,
after having tried several Jobs and
fallen down out of sheer laziness, was
placed with a government naturalist
But even in this position he was slow
1t took him two hours to give GER
tain living specimens of birds their
feed. fThe good point he possessed
was his willingness.
One afternoon, after having changed
the water for some fish. he asked his
employer. What shall do now. sir?'
The naturalist reflected moment
and then answered: "Well, William,
I think you might take the tortoise
for a run"

CBy EDITH c. JOHNSON.)

Ever since our forefathers landed
from the Mayflowor and began to
build homes in this strange, new
country, the women of America have
been having big jobs cut out for them.
Almost three hundred years after
that Mayflower landing, and Jus,
when we thot we had reached the
point where we could be reasonably
happy and comfortable, the women Of
the United States find themselves
confronted with the biggest job that
has ever been set the women of any
nation in the history of the world.
That job is to keep the wolf from the
door of the world, as Herbert Hoover
Tuts it. This job is even bigger. than
carrying on the war. 1t is as big and
wide as humanity itself
Since the harvest of 1915 the tOoo
supply of the world has been gradu-
ally lessening. This year we are facs
to face with a shortage that will D.
even greater next year unless we i'm
mediately set about increasing our
production and decreasing our con-
sumption. Seventy million men can

fighting purposes without our feeling
the loss right here. While the women
of Europe have been working val
iantly, they have not been able 10
make up for the loss of their men.
With their shortage of men, labor anu
foodstuffs our allies are knocking at
the door of the United States for
help. They are pleading for wheat,
for meat, and dozen staples. Now
1t is going to rest very largely with
the women of the United States, WHO,
hy the way, govern no less than 90
per cent of the food consumption, to
decide how promptly and how far the
door shall be opened, how much SUI
stantial help our allies shall have. We,
in our abundance, in our vast unoc-
Neloped resources in our old habits of
waste and extravaganza, which we are
row trying to overcome, have il with
in our power to keep the wolf from
the door. Germany is challenging
every American woman. German war
lords are telling the German people
that the American woman is too inef-
ficient. too selfish, too lazy, too eX-
travagan, to take upon herself any
great work. How are we women 60
ing to meet this challenge What can
we do to help win the war?
We can do this much. We can uso

If You Want n Serious Hat.

Altho II is true that the spirit OF
the moment in both dress and milli-
merry is that of youth, still il is never
theless true that there are many wom-
en- who need a more sedate, and IL one
might say, serious, hat. The old ladies'
bonnets OF other years are seldom
seen these days and those in the shops
show a simple difference in that these
new ones are without the cutout por-
tlon at the back, and are more on the
order OF pokes. They are of velvet
generally, prettily draped, and
trimmed with tiny ostrich tips in black
and white, while others show silvered
bands as trimming.

Wanting in War Service.

'The standardization of the pressed
on type Of tire on S. A. e. rims cannot
be too strongly recommended. 1 am
satisfied that the demountable type will
be found wanting in war service in
France.
"It is advisable to limit the number
of sizes of tires to as few as possible
1t is possible to use fve-inch for front
wheels of all trucks. because the
smaller trucks are naturally faster
moving and the additional speed will
easily make the wear even. In France
great many of the trucks are used
with flve-inch dual tires on rear wheels.
These developed serious troubles on ac-
count of the load often being concen-
trated on one of the tires only. On the
granite block roads a projecting block
on a damaged road would often cut out
a large section of one of the tires. On
heavily cambered roads the weights
would concentrate on the inside tires. /
am convinced that the wider-section
single tires on rear wheels suffered less
damage from these causes than the
dual tires"
These controversies tend to show that
the actual experience in France is apt
to reverse previous decisions due to
the difference In the method of warfare,
particularly with regard to the tremen-
dous advancement in engineering and
transport facilities. The policy of the
government in sending the various
branches to France for at least their
fnal training appears to be necessary
and thoroughly borne out in the expe-
rience of officers who have seen service
at the front.

AUTOMOBILE SHOWS AID
TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS
Make Intelligent Comparison of
Merits Easy for Those Who
Want Value.

The annual automobile shows that
are held each winter in practically all
of the larger cities of the country are
becoming an increasingly important
factor in motor car merchandising.
This is true for two principal rea-
sons: First, because the shows are
highly educational and second. because
the motoring public has acquired a
knowledge of motor cars which makes
possible an intelligent appreciation of
the shows. 1t used to be that the ma
jority of those who attended the shows
were drawn there by a desire to see the
various makes of cars. Nowadays the
greater part of those who visit the
shows do so to learn about the automo-
biles exhibited.
The vast bulk of motor cars are sold
to those men and women to whom a
purchase of such dimensions is more or
less of an event. There are many. of
course. who can pay a thousand or ten
thousand for motor car without CIV
ing much thought to the question
whether they are getting their moneys
worth fully.

ARM YUSE COMMENDED
Former Canadian Transport Officer
Points Out Advantages Over
Demountable.

There has been considerable discus
sion in Washington concerning the
merits of demountable tires, as COM
pared with pressed-on tires. for use
on Army trucks Up to the present
time the United States Army has used
the demountable types as a standard.
Officers who have been to the front
however. are apparently in favor of
the pressed-on type, and there seems
to be possibility that the pressed -on
type will finally oust the demountable.
On this subject W. owen Thomas OF
Detroit, who was formerly lieutenant
colonel in charge of Canadian trans
port, wrote the following in his paper
entitled Lessons of the War in Truck
Design" which was read before the
Society of Automotive Engineers at
its meeting In Washington last June:
Fitted for Demountable Tires.
"All trucks sent from Canada were
fitted with demountable tires on stand
ard s. A. E. rims. This was decided
upon before the British had adopted
the American pressed-on type with a
view to easy replacement in the field.
Two makes were used in approximately
even quantities. On both makes the
locking rings and bolts and nuts We're
thoroughly galvanized. Most of the
tires were carefully shipped, fitted with
wooden center struts to prevent dis
tortion of the rims. Ample spare tire
parts of all kinds were supplied.
The subsequent use of these tires on
the muddy roads in Flanders showed
that they We're much more difficult OF
than the pressed-on type,
which is now standard on all British
trucks. After the tires had been in
use for some time in the mud they
were removed only with the greatest
difficulty, and once the rims had be-
come rusted 1t was often impossible to
remove them, even In a tire press. The
most effective way was to take out the
remnants of the rubber and to jar and
expand the rims with q sledge hammer.
