improved Caterpillar Tractor.

A new development in the caterpil-
lar type of tractor is simple one Of
small size adapted for factory use. As
made in Ohio, this is only 80 inches in
extreme width and 80 inches high, and,
as 1t passes through ordinary factory
doors, 1t can be used for transporting
materials inside the building as well
as outside. travelling over level floors
and uneven ground with equal facility.
Laying board track instead of NOV
Ing on wheel, 1t does not injure the
surface over which 1t passes. 1t is less
expensive than a narrow gauge rail-
way, and 1t is not confined to fixed
truck.

MAKE REAL CITIZENS.
Amerlcsnlzing America Feature
Of D. A. R. War Work.
Calls on Women to Make All-AmerI an
City or Town Of Place Where
They Live.

A new opportunity for women to
help In the war is offered by the Ma
tional Society Of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution. through their
war relief committee, OF which Mrs.
Matthew T. Scott is chairman. II is
sending out call TO the women of the
country to make an all-American city
or town OF the place In which they
live. II asks enlistment for this spe-
clal service which works directly with
the unasslnilated Immigrant, ignorant
of or Indifferent to Americas history,
customs and laws, unpledged to sup
port our flag, rearing a family with un-
American views of life and reading
only foreign language papers.
They hope to bring about the day
when the alien, becoming naturallzed,
shall take the oath Of allegiance to the
flag itself, not to the man administer
ing the oath In court room; when a
ballot Is put into his hand accompanied
by an American flag, with full respon-
siblllty and honor OF ownership; when
1t is obligatory that he learn the Eng
lish language; when he shall be COM
PEELED to send his children TO public
school; and when certain days of the
year shall be called Americanization
days, on which resident aliens shall
take the oath of allegiance.
Many Of the Daughters are work
ing seriously on this project, giving H.
Illustrated lectures in settlements and
schools.

President, the Cabinet and tho Coun-
on Of National Defense passed by
trade associations. chambers OF com
merce and other commercial bodies In
all parts OF the country. This action
by nonpartisan organizations, repre-
sentins practically every branch of
business in the United States. is being
taken In response to their circulariza-
tlon by the Security League following
the passage OF a resolution along the
same lines by its Managing Commit
tee. The Endorsement Of the acts Of
the various agencies OF the national
government toward the aggressive
and efficient prosecution of the war IN

The Security Leagues letter to the

'eThe Managing Committee Of the

the following resolution to which we
invite your special attention:
"keen Appreciation"
"Resoived. That we urge the
branches OF the National Security
League and all public bodies to express
to Congress keen sense OF apprecia-
ton OF the splendid constructive work
done by our senators and representa-

"And be II further resolved, That
we point out that the remarkable
record OF Congress In this regard,
together with the wonderful work
being done by the President and
Cabinet and Council OF National De-
Tense is such ae to merit the gratitude
OF the public and in fact Of all liberty
loving peoples throughout the world.
II is but fair that opportunity be taken
to fully convey to them these senti-
ments OF the American people Those
who know their work will be inspired
by the splendid example OF their Off
cial representatives to render the larg'
est measure OF individual effort and
sacrifice The quality and unity OF
service that has been rendered TO the
nation during the past few months,
regardless OF party lines. IS unparal-
ieled in history
Kindly permit US TO suggest that
approval by your organization OF this
resolution would be distinct public
service at this time when the govern
ment and every one allied With 1t need
and deserve the sincerest support and
cooperation OF all citizens. VIII you
