Graft Exposer Discharged from Army.
In the quartermaster department a
reorganization has been effected in the
onserya ton and reclamation division,
Of which one result has been the dis
charge from the army. against his
wishes. Of Capt. A. E. Peerless, a re-
serve officer. who was brought here in
November to assist in its organization.
Captain Peerless, it will be recalled in
this connection, came into notice in
December when before the senate
military committee he testified In the
inquiry then being made into the base
sorting plant, which he had investi-
gated in his official capacity.
Captain Pereless brought out in his
testimony that the governments con-
tract with the sorting company was
much too high. and that It had been
made upon the recommendation of
Charles Eisenman. vice chairman Of the
supplies committee OF the council OF
national defense.
The circumstances in connection
with the oenate's disclosures with re-
spect to this contract are matters Of
such recent history that their repeti-
ton is unnecessary. Orders just is
sued, dating back to Jan, 80 give
Captain PEERLESS an honorable dis
charge from the army.

ORGANIZATION OF FIRST q, s.
FELL ARMY COMPLETED AND
PERShlNG IS PUTIN COMMAND

With the American Army in France,
Sunday. Aug. 11.-(By the Associated
Press Reorganization of the first
american field army Of five corps has
been completed. The army will be
commanded by General Pershing and,
1t is understood. will operate in the
area north Of the Marine from which
the Germans have been driven out.
The American divisions which partici-
pated in that drive have been under
French command, but are now in
cluded in the first army.
General Pershing, who retains his
post as chief Of the American expe-
dictionary forces. after a time may re-
linquish the command Of the first
army, but possibly not until the or
g~anization of a second army is well
under way. Meanwhile he will have
two Headquarters, at the first. army
as well as at general headquarters.
It is not anticipated that the Gre
alton of the first army will see any
decrease in the spirit Of cooperation.
While the Americans have operated
under the higher command of the
French and British recently the
French had served under American
corps commanders and it is expected
this interchange will continue.
The step is regarded as the most
important development in the organ
ization Of the American expedtionary
forces to date. 1t is looked upon az
the natural development Of the 1917
Is scheme Of organization and train
ing by which regiments after training
were merged into divisions under full
staff direction. The creation of the
first army brings a great American

PAINT UP THE OLD MACHINE
Production of Pleasure Cars Has
Been Decreased by War De-
mands Of Government.

The enormous demands of the war
have considerably lessened the output
of pleasure automobiles in this coun-
try. A great majority Of our auto
manufacturers have taken on con-
tracts for furnishing the United
States and allied governments with
motortrucks and motors, consequently
the production of pleasure cars has
been decreased. Due to the fact that
the number of automobile buyers is In
creasing each year there has resulted
an excess demand for all makes of
r%unabouts and touring cars. Practi-
cally every automobile manufacturer
in this country has already sold out
his 1918 output Of pleasure cars, and
as a result the prospective buyer of a
machine is unable to obtain one in
many cases.
Many owners of automobiles buy a
new one each year, exchanging the old
car as a part payment on a new mod
ell. Due to the fact that the number
of cars manufactured has been de-
creased these owners are unable to get
the new car at a lucrative price; as a
result they endeayor to make the old
car last another season by having 1t
repainted and in some cases rebuilt.
Several years ago an automobile
owner could not paint his own car
and obtain very satisfactory results,
due to the fact that all enamels were
of such character that they had to be
baked on, a process that could only be
carried on at the factory of the maker;
consequently IN automobile owner
would drive his car for many seasons
without having 1t painted, and at the
end of this time the machine would
present a very unsightiy appearance.
Sometimes an automobile owner would
buy a can of paint or auto enamel and
paint the machine himself. The result
was always far from satisfactory as
the paint easily cracked and peeled
off and the color obtained was not
uniform.
In order to remedy this condition,
paint manufacturers experimental for
several years upon an auto enamel
that could be easily applied and today
a motorist can go to an automobile
supply house or paint store and buy
an auto enamel In any shade he de-
sires, that will exactly suit his require
ments. This enamel can be put on
the car in a short time and after APP
plication the machine will present a
brand new appearance. Many car
owners are now painting their ma
chimes twice a year, devOting a part OF
Saturday afternoon to the job.

Movement Backed by Prominent
Manufacturers, Police and
Insurance Men.
CONGRESS may take ACTION
Sixty Per Cent or More Of Accidents
Due to Poor Condition Of Steer
Ing Gear-Thoroush Inspee-
ton 10 Urged.

Prominent automobile, police and In
surance men throughout the United
States are backing a national nov
ment for the inspection of automobile
brakes. The agitation for such a move
ment has grown out of the success in
bringing about the proper suppression
of glaring headlights, which, in the
opinion of those high in the automobile
world, is the lesser evil of the two.
The matter is receiving nationwide
attention and it is not impossible that
legislation may be instituted before
this session of congress closes looking
toward regular inspection Of brakes.
Brakes Often to Blame.
T. D. Pratt, executive secretary of
the Motor Truck club of America, in a
letter says: "Our experience has
shown us that sixty per cent or more
of the automobile accidents are caused
by brakes or steering gears being in
poor condition, and the large proper
ton of this percentage is due to poor
brakes"
Although no compulsory legislation
has been passed to date compelling
such an inspection, 1t has had the in
dorsement of such officials as Arthur
Woods, former police commissioner of
New York city, and Francis NJ. Hugo,
secretary of state, New York. The
popularity of the movement, those who
are Interested in 1t say, must rest
upon the voluntary support of auto
mobile owners.
Frequent Inspections Urged.
The plan of the brake inspection
movement is to prevail on every mo-
tUriSt and truck owner to have his
brakes inspected by his dealer at the
opening of the season and at frequent
intervals thereafter. 1t is called to his
attention that the brake rods can usu'
ally be turned up swo or three times
before new brake lining is needed. a
simple adjustment of the equalizers
viii frequently make the brakes safe
Instead of dangerous.
As the movement grows, some OIL
cial seal will be devised which will be
placed on the car, showing the date OF
last inspection. The one proposed Is

BODY DESIGNS ARE CHANGING
Rather Clumsy Assembly of Straight

In two years the average automo-
bile body has changed from what now
seems a rather clumsy assembly or
straight lines into a continuous line
shape. Automobile bodies today are
not really streamllne, for to be so they
would need to have the largest sec
ton in front instead of behind, but
all body designers seem to be aiming
