SERVICE ON WHEELS

In modern warfare there is much
portable relief work done. Instead Of
carrying the wounded man to hospital
and canteen, canteen and hospital are
moved to him. The first thing that Is
done for man after the battle IL to
give him something to eat. The Amer
lean Red Cross has rolling canteens
that take hot bouillon coffee, tea, CO.
Goa, lemonade and sandwiches right to
the front line trenches. 10 the man
who is wounded there is mobile hos
pital brought to his very elbow. This
Is the "autochir,' special motor truck
that carries complete surgical hospi-
tai right to the front
These are some of the things that
the people of America are doing for
the comfort and welfare OF the BOYS
over there by enrolling their names ~

OUT OF MANY RACES
RED CROSS MAKES ONE

n NE of the greatest services which
the Red Cross il performing in
this war is the unihcation of the
many rnces Of which America is com
posed through the Home Service.
which, through its 10000 committees,
is looking after the welfare of The sol
diers families in every corner of the
country. America has always heen
called the Melting Pot. and truly, hut
the process has been slow The war
has accelerated 1t. The Indians of the
west, the negroes of the south, the ltal-
inns and Eastern Europeans of our In
dustrial centers, the Mexicans of the
Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and
Noiwegians and Japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly In the
war because Ii was America war and
they are Are ricans.
That they feel this Is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian. who in the
assembly hall of one OF our mobiliza-
ton camps was waiting with group
of his fellows to take the oath of al
legiance. He stepped forward sudden
ly with tears In his eyes and with Il
vivid gesture pressed corner of the
American flag tlat hung over the desk
In front of him to his lips. A group of
native born soldiers who had heel
looking on with amused Indifference
broke into applause and cheers. From
then on these Italians were their
brother Americans

only for the morale of the men; il il

SUGGESTS USE OF PEAT
AS SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL
Senator Trammell of Florida Writes
of Its Availability to Fuel
Administration.

Relief of the coal shortage by using
large deposits OF peat, which would pro-
vide good fue, and is inexpensive. has
been recommended to the federal fuel
administra ton by Senator Park Trammell
of Florida. AS Governor Of Florida be-
fore he came to Washington. Senator
TrammeIl was largely instrumental in de-
veloping the peat industry in that state.
In letter TO DIR. Harry A. Garfield. the
United States fuel administrator. setting
forth some reasons for using the peat sup
ply. Senator Trammell says:
Just at the present time, when we are
SO forcefuliy impressed with the desira-
b-lity, as well as the necessity. to make
available a greater fuel supply in the
United States, as well as to adopt, as far
as possible. plans whereby the cost of
fuel can be reduced, beg to invite your
attention to the advisability OF taking
the unlimited supply Of peat to be
found in different sections of the United
States, especially in Florida, where large
deposits exist in the vicinity OF navigable
waterways, thus bringing them within
easy reach of transportation.
1T is well known that peat makes a
desirable and effective fuel for use in
furnaces and boilers. OF for domestic pur-
poses In addition, 1t is known to con-
tain far greater percentage OF gas than
contained in coal, and, il ueed In prop
e-ly designed producers, it can be utilized
for driving internal combustion engines
thus saving gasoline or other oil fuel. II
is, my Endersts nding that by the utiliZa-
ton Of the most modern methods of treat
ing peat it can be produced at less cost
than any other fuel now in use. l trust
you will find it consistent to give this SUBJ
jsct earnest and careful consideration

BARANY TEST PROVES
AVIATOR'S EFFICIENCY

Many fatal aviation accidents which
formerly were inexplainable are being
avoided since the discovery of the
Earany test for prospective flyers, ac-
cording to Capt. l. H. Saunders of this
city, now serving in the aviation sec
tion of the Signal Corps some here in
America
The Washington Board of Trade, of
which Capt. Saunders was an active
member. has received a letter from
him, thanking the members of the
board for the comfort kit sent him at
Christmas. In the letter Capt. Saunders
relates many interesting phases of the
aviation service.
The Barany test. named after the
in which it is made. enables the ex-
amiuers to determine whether the
prospective airman would be able to
determine his relative position to the
earth after his machine had scared
above the clouds.
Capt. Saunders explains that on or
near the earth man keeps his balance
by means of sight and muscular action,
but above the clouds these agencies are
useless and he must rely on a fluid con-
tanned in the vestibular. an organ of
each side of the head. This fluid. by
pseans of nerve sensitiveness. enables
the fye- to tell whether he is upside
down or flying upright.
No matter what the other physical
dualihca tions of the candidate may be,
explains Capt. Saunders. if this organ
is defective he is useless as a flyer.
