BY YANKEE INGENUITY
Speed and Standardization Make 1t
Possible for Machines to
BE Turned
Out.

The designing Of the new standard
military truck, which must meet the
field transportation problem of mod
ern warfare, has been completed. A
sample chassis, representing the
efforts of approximately two score
truck specialists, will be ready by
the middle of October and final tests
will be conducted. Deliveries are
expected to begin in January, within
four months after the war depart
ment undertook the development OF
the truck.
After a series Of conferences be-
tween military and civilian engineers
the design of the standard truck
was completed early in September.
Within ten days detailed drawings
were made and sample parts ordered.
Ordinarily 1t requires several months
to perfect and turn out such parts,
but various manufacturers patriot
cally agreed to put ahead the gov
ernment's work and delivery OF the
parts, it is now expected, VIII be
made by October 1. The crankshaft
die was sunk in seven days, and the
crankcase pattern and first casting
were made five days after receipt OF
the drawings.

Hot Water Drinkjn q.

William Eastman, in Physical Gull
ture: A stomach cleansing treat
ment is often just as important as a
rest for the organ. The best ordinary
method OF stomach cleansing is the
drinking Of a considerable amount OF
hot water Not too hot. Just hot
enough so that you can drink it with
fair rapidity and take consider
able amount into the stomach in a
short time. If you will drink cup
of hot water every five minutes, I'M
I'll two quarts or more have been
consumed, the result will be unfailing.

viii Fully Meet Requirements.

It is believed the new standard
motor truck will fully meet the re-
uuirements Of the army in the held.
Rapidly Of manufacture, stability,
and Standardization are the outstand-
ing promises of the new truck.
While the designing Of the military
truck lacked the dramatic features or
the development of the United States
aviation engine or liberty motor, 1t
was brought about by similarly sys-
tematic and speedy methods. In the
conduct of the war 1t is essential
that we shall have large numbers of
airplanes; it is also essential that
transportation on land shall be high
" developed. The designing of an
acceptable truck is distinct achieve
ment.

Love always wins; that divinity
that shapes our ends-that unknown
providence that guards us, and des-
tiny-the master of every situation
sees to it that love is always VIC
torious.
1t Is astonishing what man or
woman can pass through for loves
sake. In Hearts Afire," with Clara
h.mball Young, you realize this more
than ever before. The snowy trail
from palace to exile though crowded
with endless suffering, proves to be
pathway to happiness.
The story is full of thrills, big
scenes, big moments and dramatic
action full of punch. 1t is picture
that satisfies the most critical.

Movement Begun In July.

In July the quartermaster corps
initiated the movement for the pro-
duction of a standardized military
truck that would be an improvement
over commercial designs heretofore
used. Cooperation of truck manu-
facturers in all parts Of the country
was promised at meeting held in
Columbus in July. Early in August
about fifty truck specialists and en-
gineers of established reputation
came to Washington at the invitation
of the quartermaster corps. The So
ciety Of Automotive Engineers, which
is assisting the government on engi-
neering problems. also sponsored the
Washington conferences.
Both manufacturers and engineers
GENEROUSLY contributed trade secrets
In the designing of the military truck
Just as they did In the development
of the aviation engine. Engineers
believe the new truck, a composite
of the best there Is in all commercial
trucks, will be several years in ad-
Manufa cture Of the new truck will
be carried on under direction OF the
uuartermaster corps and the autom O.
