an evolution and perfected piece of
mechanism. That is why YOU can
FORGET many little things about
Studebaker that YOU have to RE
MEMBER and care for on other
cars not so highly developed.
For instance: the cooling system
of the Studebaker car will work IN
any climate, at any temperature,
providing you keep water in the
radiator.
The fabrication system of a Stu
debaker car will work unfailinglv
in absolutely all conditions, if you
will remember to put oil in the
crank case occasionally.
The electric lights and the cleo
trio starter will never fail you if a
little distilled water is put in the
battery from time to time.
You will not have to paint your
body frequently to keep it looking

MAKING READY FOR COMBAT
 IN U. s. NAVY
Red Cross is Called Upon for Com presses and Bandages for
 1SS Ships
(By Associated Press Dispatch)

August II, 1917, at the request of William c. Braisted, surgeon general of the United States navy, the Amer, ican Red Cross has called upon ter of the larger chapters of the society nearest New York to supply at the earliest possible moment surgica dressings for each of 1SS battleships and deStroyers. Each ship will require thousands of congresses and band ages, the entire consignment making total of more than six hundred thousand surgical dressings.
 The surgical dressings are to be prepared by the women workers in the Red Cross Chapters at Chicago, Pitts burgh, Cleveland, Washington, Balti. more, Philadelphia, New York, Allan ta, Boston and the northeastern divi- Sions, these chapters being chosen be- cause their proximity to New York will expedite delivery. It is expected to fill the order within the next ter days.
 Women qualified in the various chapters to make surgical dressings are working night and day for the rapid completion of the work. Only women who have taken the Red Cross course in the making of these band ages are eligible to engage in the ac- tive work.
 With the declaration of war there has been a rapid increase in the num- Der of women taking the Red Cross surgical dressing courses. In June, 4,144 certificates were issued to women who had taken the course of eight lessons of three hours each, and in the first ten days of July, 1279 cer- tifcates were issued.
 Each chapter will supply the bat tleship named after that particular State and others in which they might have a geographical interest. Thus, the Chicago chapter will supply the Chicago and the Illinois. New York will supply the New York and the AL bany. These boxes as completed will be shipped by chapters direct to the Bush Terminal at New York for dis tribution to the ships.

CALLS KILLING WANTON

East ST. Louis, ILL.,, Oct. 1S.-Wan-
ton shooting at negroes by soldiers on
patrol duty during the race riots here
last May was testified to before the
Congressional committee investigat-
ing the riots today. Charles Roger,
president of a large chemical com
pany here, told the committee that
he saw a uniformed soldier shoot
negro who was standing with a group
OF his fellows block away merely
to show some white men who were
twitting him that he could not shoot,
how well he could do it.
Mr.. Roger testified that a man in
a crowd of whites remarked TO one
of the soldiers
What are you doing with that
gun, you can't shoot?'"
1.-The hell can't" Roger quoted
the soldier as saying
Whereupon the soldier fred into
the crowd of negroes and one OF the
negroes fell wounded, testified the
witness.
Mr., Roger said he told Gov. Frank
o. Lowden OF that and similar incid-
ents, but that no special effort was
made to learn the identity Of the
soldier.
Frank A. Hunter, general manager
OF the Swift & Co., packing plant,
testified that the riots had driven 40
per cent of their negro employees from
work and that government orders
are being delayed
AT the time of the riots, he said,
railroads stopped handling freight for
six days. He said he believed the
riot was caused by illfeeling of I'M
ion men against negro laborers i'm
ported from the south and denied
that his company had anything to do
with these importations. He said he
had received an anonymous letter
declaring that the packing plant
would be blown up If union labor
were not employed. Efforts had al
so been made, he said. to interfere
with government orders.
Mr.. Rogers testified that the ship
ments Of his company had been de-
layed because of the riots
