In Case of Invasion MaSsachuS.

Cars Driven BY Women

To take care of women and children
! first in the event OF an invasion, Gov.
ernor Mccall oil Massachusetts has
been offered the use of 1000 light au-
tomobiles and the services Of large
corps of trained women drivers. The
| formation OF this auxiliary brigade
was undertaken by prominent mo-
torist at the suggestion Of women
drivers and is the direct outcome OF
the motor car mobilization in the
East last spring and summer during
the preparedness campaign.
As soon as a rupture with Germany
became certainty, offers Of cars and
drivers began coming in to c. s. Hen
shaw, Dodge Brothers dealer in Bos-
ton, and owing to the number Of
women drivers who volunteered, IL
was decided after conference with the
authorities tina: The most useful SER
vice tn which Il ieserve corps might be
turned would be the removal of wom-
en- and children from any threatened
area, practically every other branch
OF activity having Teen covered In
plans already made. @

corps 20 work in connection with the

that in the course of the next few days
several hundred more women will be
enrolled. ....ea ...~.
Some OF these women are already
expert enough to act as emergency
mechanicians with the women's divi.
sion, thus releasing for actual mill
tary service a number of men drivers
who would otherwise be unavailable.
Although only 1000 Dodge Brothers
cars were offered to the goyernoF,
Mr.. Henshaw states that from inform
alton already at hand he would be
able to supply tW o or three times that
number Of cars and drivers If called
upon. Mr.. Henshaw was the leading

bilizatiols.

Tires IN 1916

Last year the motorists of the Unit
ed States took from their wheels and
replaced some nine million tires which
had apparently run their course, rep
resenting an original expenditure OF
about $500, 100000. according to a
statement Just issued by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
The cry of the car owners who dis.
carded this great multitude of tires is
for better tires--leSs- tire trouble
fewer tire changes-lonSer tire life

application Of the simplest methods of
tire conservation, al the command OF
every motorist. Ii is estimated that full.
~ one half of this enormous mortality
in tires and loss in money might have
been prevented. ThoUsands of these
tires were replaced because they had
passed away before their time.
IL $150,0o0, 900 of the nations tire
bill could be saved annually five mag
nificent highways could be built across
the continent each year and the nation
SO honeycombed with motor roads as
to put every nook and corner of it in
direct touch with the big centers OF
population. Another Panama canal
could be built in three years, the ma.
tional debt lifted in seven years, or a
fleet Of 10 first class battleships built
for our navy each year. ......s
Through the establishment Of SER
vice stations throughout the country
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
has set about TO combat the conditions
that have been costing SO much money
and worry. Each of these stations IS
equipped to help car owners to get the
most possible mileage-and reduce the
tire cost per mile to an absolute mini
mum. r.. 49,: ....".. ~.
l.. c. Rockhill, manager of the Good

commenting on the companys tire
conservation policy. says: I'VE are
simply carrying out an old principle
that prevention Is easier than cure,
and applying it to tire trouble. Hero
is where our service stations come in.
We have dotted the. nation with these
stations where motorists may drive in

aligned, tire chains adjusted properly

greater. - 49,:
THE one big aim of our factory is
to build mileage into the tires. The
aim OF the service stations Is to see
that the greatest enjoyment and use
of the tires may be. attained with the
least effort and expense. All of which
exemplifies the highest type of cooper.

IMMIGRATION.

The most frequently vetoed measure in American history has been the inn migration bill recently enacted into law. Hereafter, no one above the age of 16 who cannot read and write can enter the United States. More than one-fourth of all the immigrants admitted to this country in the past twenty years could neither read nor write.
 Thirty-three million people have made the long iournes from foreign shores to our own since it was pro- claimed that all men were born free and equal, and liberty's note sounded on American soil! Even the presi- dent of the United States himself has only one American-bo,n ancestor.
 Germany has furnished about one third of the total immigration to our shores from the Reyolttionaly war to 1890. Since that date. with more than 17rO0&000 immigrant arrivals, only 1,O2S,00O have been Germans. tt seems that there are less than a mil lion former subjects of the kaiser who

GERMANY'S SUBMARINE
 WARFARE.


 The submarines, as operated now. are violation of international law. This was what caused the United States to declare war on Germany. Unless Germany can sink enough ships to cut off the supplies of the allies, her submarine warfare will fail. By sinking United States ships in violation of international law, Ger many enlarged her task, because all the interned German ships in United States harbors will no5 be put in the service Of this country. For this req son, our facilities for carrying on commerce are increased instead of being decreased by submarine war fare.
 Many people think that the danger of submarines will sop commerce, but the fact that Britain has trans ported more than 1000 coo men across the English channel without having a transport sunk, proves that com- merce would never have to be aban doned to such an eXtert that the SUD- plies would be cut off.

MILITARY TRAINING.

War has brought home to the mass of the people why it is necessary to have military trainins The people have shown that much drill is re- 'quired in the use of modern imple- ments of war. which are very com plex. It has been shown in this war that the system of raising a large, raw army of men by volunteer meth ods is very much inferior to having military drill for every one physically able.
 Germany had this system and was ready for war, while England had the volunteer and was not ready for war for about two years. Many promi- nent men, among them General Wool, think that if we had had large re- serve army, we'll trained, we would not have been in this war.

WOMEN AFTER THE WAR.

Women are doing their part in this world war as effectual!y as the men. Like the men they have responded to the cry of need that has risen from their countries. Women have taken ,ne place of men in a hundred occu , pations. They are working in muni- tion factories, tilling the soil, and run ming street cars.
 When peace is restored, women will be occupying thousands of places left vacant by the mel who marched off to the trenches-many of them not to return. The women will con- tinue to hold these places not only for their faithfulness and efficiency in war times, b tualso because every person will be needed to bring order out of chaos.

ARKANSAS PART IN SECOND
 LINE OF DEFENSE,

Again, the same old plea, South, feed yourself!" but we must realize the importance of it. The south not only must feed herself but also the entire United States and, more thaa likely, the allies. King Cotton must be sacrificed.
 Arkansas has no mean part to play in forming the nations second line of defense" With he. soil and re- sources, she might work wonders. Every vacant plot of ground ought to be utilized, perhaps easier said than done.
 There is no excuse fo1 food panic, even though food supplies are low. We have been informed that some people are buying enough sugar to last a year. This is wrong. Those who are able to buy enough to lasi them a year ought to be patriotic enough to pay whatever price is de manded any day in the year. If the poor could do the same, there would be an excuse for this. As it is, there is none.
 There is only one solution for the food problem, and the south must re . alize it. We must raise plenty Of food that man can eat, get fat on, and work on. Food panics won't alarm us then.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Woman suffrage is not a local or national question, it is worldwide. New Russia has equal suffrage as the basis of it's reform government.
 It is not new movement; it began with civilization.
 It's benefits are many; it enlarges woman's opportunity to improve the educational, moral, and physical con- ditions fo rher children.
 It gives them knowledge of mans responsibility and makes them equal guardians of their prenerty and chil- dren.
 Government is public housekeep- keeping, and women are natural housekeepers.
 Woman suffrage will increase the educational vote. Our high schools graduate two or three times as many girls as boys. <
 It prophecies good; every vice trust fights suffrage, proving that they fear its effects. Political equality forms the basis of our government. Woman suffrage will double tie power and influence of homes.
 It has only been the matter of a ittl cover a century since our mea were fighting for suffrage. Why, then. should they not want women to have it also., A... A..s. s..x..

THE SOUTH MUST FEED HERSELF

In this day, when what we shall eat is such serious question, and when the simplest necessities of our every day fare have become rare delicacies, let the south meet the situation ably large share of the outcome of this world-war depends upon America, and America's success depends upon her food supply. Let the south stop importing food. On the other hand let her raise enough for her own maintenance and some to spare. Let the south supply her nation with food and prevent such a crisis as that which threatens Europe.
