Schooley, superintendent Of carriers,
declared when asked concerning the
reported dissatisfaction OF the substi-
tute carriers. "One man came to me
and asked il his standing would be
affected by the appointment Of the two
women. 1 told him no, and, indeed. the
appointment Of the women will not
take work away from any man or az
feet his standing on the rolls In the

officials declared that they were in
close touch with the substitute car
riers and felt sure that the men con-
templated no steps which might affect
their records adversely.
An open '.wa1k-out' by the substi-
tute carriers. it was pointed out, would
constitute mutiny against the United
States, such contingencies being espe-
cially provided for in the statutes. The
resignation OF the men at one time
would put them liable to the law il

DON'T BE SPARING

The majority of people, l dare say,
never consider themselves sick until
a general breakdown takes place. Then

a regiment of automobiles in Denver.
for instance, the members OF the Ma
tiOnal Guard and the regular forces at
Fort Logan could be rushed TO the
Mexican border, or westward TO San
Francisco, or eastward TO the Atlantic
coast on moments notice. The
railroads, OF course, would be depended
upon for the same service, but the
first attachments could be leaving
while the railroads were getting their
rolling stock together to bring along
the bulk of the troops.
In this connection motor trucks
would naturally serve just as impor-
tant a function, and could be utilized
just as effective as the pleasure cars
in the transportation of supplies for
commissary divisions.
Then, too automobiles and motor
cycles could be utilized for carrying
dispatches between army division
headquarters.
The organization Of an automobile
regiment have undertaken with these
ideas in view. And it is understood
that volunteers to the automobile regi'
ment are not subjecting themselves to
compulsory service in any sense. This
