PORTABLE Shoe REPAIR
SHOP ON MOTOR TRUCK

A motor truck equipped with ma.
chinery for making all kinds OF re-
pairs to army mems shoes has been
presented to the Massachusetts, ma
tional guard, according to an article
in the Power Wagon. The outfit
comprises a motor truck and a trailer,
the former vehicle carrying power
driven shoe repairing machinery Of
the latest type. With the aid of this
equipment six men will be able to re-
pair from 200 to 300 pairs of shoes
daily, depending on the nature of the
repairs necessary. The apparatus in
cludes an outside lockstitching ma
chine, a loose mailer, an edge trimmer,
a patching machine, and the neces-
sary jacks.
The motor truck, which carries the
machinery, is provided with suitable
windows TO insure thorough ventila-
tion OF the interior. Floor doors have
also been provided to aid in the cir
culation OF air around the machines
and the workmen. Upon arriving at
its destination, the motor truck is
placed upon the most level ground OBJ
tainable. The platform is removed
from beneath the trailer and set up
on stirrups, which are attached to the
rear of the motor truck and to the
front Of the trailer. Then q canvas
is put up quickly by means of ropes
passing over hooks underneath the
visor of the roof, thus keeping out tho
rain and making a sleeping compart-
ment or veranda upon which the work
mon may sit to rest. There are stor-
age batteries which are used solely
for lighting the motor truck and
traiIer A tank Is Droyided on eith.r
side which serves for an auxiliary
water supply to keep the engine cool
while running as a stationary power
plant. The power for driving the ina.
chinery is derived from the motor
trucks engine.
There are overhead lockers for the
storage OF supplies, and a series Of
drawers and lockers beneath the
benches for tools, supplies, etc There
is also q water tank and sink for
moistening the leather. Underneath
the sink is a gear pump, which can
be used to pump water from a brook
or a bucket; II is supplied with a fifty
foot and a six-foOt hose. A suitably
Waived bypass allows water to be put
in the tank under pressure.
In the trailer there Is a folding
chair for the clerk of the outfit.
Doors keep the shoes from falling out
of the lockers when the vehicle is in
transit, and storage capacity for 1, 500
pairs OF shoes Is provided. One bunk
is placed on the floor on each side,
and there are sleeping accommoda-
tions for eight men. Shoes are re-
ceived and delivered from the rear
door of the trailer, where a platform
and steps have bedn fitted.

That com parison emphasizes the awfulness of the work, in the performance of which we are to be the deciding force.
 In the current year this country is to spend ls billions of dollars. What this means can be best understood when we consider that from the es- tablishment of our government up to the time of our entrance into the gar the entire sum required for govevx,r mental expenses was but 26 billions and 300 millions. The fact that this country was ready to support him to i the end must have given an added sthriH to the soul of General Pershing when at the tomb of Lafayette as he placed thereon. a wreath Of American Beauty roses, he pledged the valor and honor of American arms to pre- vent the sayageFy and vandalism of Germany from deseerating that burial place where lay the sacred bones of the hero who when but 20 years of age came. with his sword and his for tune to give us a free America.
 By French valor at the Marine river the desecration of that tomb had been thwarted. From the Sd to the 10th of September, 1914, occurred the three battles of the Marne.
