MASTER OF TRANSPORTATION

Samuel NJ. FELTON,, president of the
Chicago Great Western railway, has
been selected to take charge of ar
rangements for sending the regiments
of American railroad men to France.
Mr.. FELTON, some time ago was M :
pointed adviser to the chief of army
engineers in relation to railroad af-
fairs. As such, It was said, he will be
in charge of arrangements for sending
the American railroad men abroad.
II is understood that Mr.. FELTON,
viii not necessarily accompany the
forces.
The plan is to send 10000 skilled
men TO operate and maintain the
French roads behind the battle lines.
They need reconstruction and eXper:
operation, for which the French mill
tary forces cannot spare their own
men.
Regarding these plans Mr.. Eel
ton declined to make any extended
statement.

Drink and immortality have been

In the clutch of one or the other. In
Europe, during the present war, the
ravages of disease and the effects of
inebriety have been so extensive at
times that the most stringent regula-
tions have been established. But in
the main the measures adopted have
been represslye and curative after the
fact. The attack on the camp evils
was not begun until their inroads
made action imperative.
In the United States the problem
of camp evils is to be attacked in Il
way and on scale never undertaken
in the world before. Greatest empha-
sis is to be placed on prevention, on
effective action before the fact, in
stead of after 1t. To achieve this, to
evolve new kind of soldiers train

HIS TASK TO TRAIN OFFICERS

Without any thought of even siig-
gesting a comparison that might be
odious to the thoroughly trained ofIi-
GERS of the United States regular
army and with full appreciation of the
fact that three months of drill and in
struction can never produce the re-
suits of four years of hard work In
what Joffre has called the greatest
military school in the world, 1t may
still be said that the country now has
10 new military schools working full
blast for the manufacture of person
mel to officer the great army that will
be evolved out of the selectlve drafts
by the end of the summer. They
might be called new West Points to
the extent that the officers of the
army who have planned them, and who
are managing them, are determined
that the spirit of these great camps
shall be the spirit of the academy on
the Hudson.

Ten Reasons Why
Motor Car Speed
Is Expensive
And Not Only Costly, but
May Be Dangerous and
Inconsiderate

Speed is expense" is the way auto
mobile people translate Haste makes
waste" of the copybook. There never
was a truer thing said. If ever any
thing made for extravaganza and dis
comfort it is driving an automobile
too fast.
A decalogue OF reasons why it is ex-
pensive. dangerous and inconsiderate
to speed is given by Farm and Fire
side" as follows
Tires last about twice as long on a
car that is driven at fifteen miles an
hour as upon cars driven at thirty
miles an hour. Speeding generates
heat. which is an enemy to rubber
Driving car around a sharp cor
ner at twenty-five miles an hour does
more damage to the tires than two hun
dred miles of straight road work. TX
cessive side pressure on tires may pinch
the tubes, and il always strains the
side walls of the castings.
High speeds are likely TO cause skid
ding and breakage of springs and steer
ing gear, any of which are dangerous
when speeding.
In proportion to the mileage obtained

Driving car at excessive speed, es-
pecially over rough roads. subjects the
bearings to enormous strains.
+ High speed may cause capitalization
of rapidly moving metal parts that are
subject to strain. and these may break
at any time without warning.
High speeds interfere with the &C
curacy of steering as is shown by the
number of reckless drivers who have
| gone over banks and into bitches, es
pecially on curves.
II is a strain on the eyes and the
nerves Of the driver and also OF tn,
other passengers in the car.
Finally, it is a menace to the pleasure
and safety of others who use the road.

An extra EQUIPMENT of bulbs for the
various electric lights on a car Is
prime necessity for motorists. Bulbs
have a way of burning out suddenly.
Where the dash and tail lights are in
circuit, the failure of the dash light
puts the other out, too, leaving the
motorists in an embarrassing situa-

and having something TO apply al once
