Each company must now find a
place for its headquarters. Co. A
will probably use the court house
but as yet Co. B has no place. The
members of the guard are quite anx-
ious to get their uniforms and other
equipment This matter will be
taken up at once. One business man
proposed that the business men in
the city pay for half of the uniforms
and equipment. 1t has been esti-
mated that the cost for one guards
man for one year is $50. There are
$50 members in the two units of the
state guard here.

MICHELIN MANS TIRE HINTS Use Care In Applying Brakes.

Cal Messner. agent for Michelin tires in Phoenix. says that a motorist cannot jam on his brakes without af- fecting his purse. Locked wheels are immediately responsible for tire bills. Mir Messner showed the writer a new casing which had been driven only a few miles, yet the rubber was scraped away, exposing the fabric. At the very moment the wheels were locked by the brakes. the tire was passing over a stone which was dragged aIong with the tire. This stone sawed right through the fabric in one spot and punctured the inner tube. This care less customer. obviously the author of his own misfortune, complained that there was a weak spot in his tire.' Yet all his trouble, delay and disap. pointment were caused by smashing on his brakes when he should have applied them gently. As a matter of fact, MT. Messner says a car will stop more quickly in almost every case if the brakes are applied gently.

STEEL TANKS BEST
 WAR METHOD; HENRY
 FORD EXPLAINS II

Ed Rudolph quotes an article con- tributed to the American Machinist on Tool Power and the War;" in which Henry Ford says:
 The lesson of the war for us is that, not numbers nor latent resources. but better machinery and better or ganization and the stalemate of the west front broken, if we develop and use the right machinery. To me it seems out of place to send men with bare bodies and rifles against trenches of concrete fortified with barbed wire. machine guns and cannon. A small tank can be made for attack that will carry two men and a machine gun with armor protection strong enough to resist the hail of machine-gun bull lets and shrapnel splinters. Such tanks. if standardized to one model. could be produced at the rate of 1000 a day. Once protection was started 90,000 tanks could be made in three months. Distributed equally along the west front, this would place one tank every IS feet. In each tank two men, shielded by. armor plate, with a ma chine gun. would have the offensive power of fifty soldiers with rifles"

TRAVEL 1,800 MILES
 ID JOIN THE ARMY

It does not often happen that young men will travel a distance of 1900
 miles to join the army, but that is what three Toledo boys are going to do
 so they may have the trip together before entering on their military du- ties.
 Algy B. i!fsier. Gordon Bringier and George Hindermann came to Toledo from New Orleans which was formerly their home They have been constant companions and when they decided to take the trip to their former home they bought an Overland light six chassis whic hthey have fitted up like a Pullman car.

THE women of France have stepped
 nobly into the breach in the labor
 wall, made necessary by the calling of their men to the colors, and the women have carried on the economic functions of their country ever since. The women of Britain, too, have been serving in hundreds of thousands, not only in intuition factories, but in hos pital and motor transport service, in the ambulance corps and in the work shops behind the lines.
 It is a record of devotion to the ideals of service. of which the women of all civilized lands have every reason to be proud.
 And now the call has come to the women of America, and, even so early as this, they have proven that they are no whit behind their sisters of

France and Britain in their willing ness to serve whenever and wherever their country calls.
 At the present stage of our parti- scipation in the war, necessarily most of the work of American women is still being done on our own soil. but even so, an enthusiastic advance guard is already in France.
 Among other organizations of patri- otic American women, now doing duty here, is the "Women's National Army" whose members are divided into regu- lation units similar to our regular army, and training twice weekly is strictly carried out. The government has permitted the use of regulation U. $. Army uniforms and a majority of the members now wear them.
 A particularly active branch of this service is the Motor Unit, members of the unit being expected to drive and care for ambulances, trucks and pas senger cars wherever needed to release

"The new Dort fourseason coupe won public favor so quickly that the scheduled production of the factory for the year was exhausted in a few months says c. H. Reuben of the Dort Motor Car company, Phoenix.

men for other work or for overseas service.
 Hearing recently of the frequent driveaways of Chandler cars from Cleveland to New York, by the Brady
 Murray Motor Corporation, New York City Chandler distributors, five Motor Unit members of the Women's Ma tional Army-New Jersey section-vol- unteered to pilot as many Chandlers in the big driveway which was sched
 uled for April 18th. Accordingly, the five young women, headed by Captain
 Josephine Windell, took an active part
 in the Cleveland-N York drive, of over 600 miles, which left the Chandler factory on that date.
 Captain Windell stated that they did
 not volunteer for this service just for
 the fun of it." but because they wanted to avail themselves of the experience
 to be gained and, too, in order to re- l lease an equal number of men for
 other important work.

 The car is replete with ingenious de- vices which have all been the work of the boys themselves. It is the inten- tion of the boys to volunteer their ser vices to Uncle Sam after a few days in New Orleans.

MOTOR TRUCK NOW
 KNOWN ID FARMERS
 IN EVERY REG|0N

teTmers. in nearly all parts of the Unitad States, have had impressed upon them the value of the motor truck Tor farm work. The railroad conges- ton and the shortage of railroad equipment made it particularly neces- sary during the last five or six months, Co send new trucks overland from the factories and to handle large quanti- ties of freight, such as ordinarily would have been handled by the rail roads, by using motor trucks.
 These conditions took the trucks out into the farming districts in greater numbers and with greater frequency than ever before. Farmers saw them hauling immense loads on the paved roads and on the ordinary roads of the country and could not help being impressed.
 Advertises Itself
 Though it was not intentional, the motor truck gave itself some very good advertising and gave the farmer some unusual demonstrations. With the necessity for greater farm produc- ton than ever before and the conse- quent necessity for a saving of time and equipment-doing his hauling faster and better than it was ever handled before, truck manufacturers believe the farm owners are becom- ing better and better prospects for motor sales.
 < George II. Reuben. of the Kissel '. Auto Co. local distributors of Federal trucks says that the lesson of effi- ciescy is reaching into the great crop growing districts more forcefully than ever before.
 Alter the war, when more trucks are available for the farms, they will be found replacing the horse for gen. eral haulage work, just as they have replaced the horse in the city," said Mir, Reuben.
 Now, Of course, farmers arc obliged to make use of all the equipment they can get together, and inauguration larly the owners of very large farms arc responding 10 the country- wide demand for food to help win the war by speeding up their production of crops. And the motor truck is a neces- sary unit in the modern equipment the farmer requires.
 Study Farm HauIaqe
 | believe that after the war the trend of motor truck manufacture will be 10 lit the truck better, if possible. to the needs of the farmer in all sec tions of the country. Federal engineers are now studying the farm haulage problem and conducting experiments and investigations 10 determine how improvements for the benefit of the farmer can be made. I do not believe many changes will be necessary. inas mucil as hundreds of farmers now us- ing Federal trucks are enthusiastic in thcir praise Of them and say that they are particularly adapted to the uses of the farm"

will supplies be diverted to enemy

HISTORY OF 35Th
Kansas Historical Society Gathers Ma
terial for History.

Kansas Historical Society Gathers Ma
terial for History.
To Friends and Relatives of the Sol
diers Of This Division:
The Kansas State Historical society
is now gathering material for a his
tory of the Thirty division.
An appeal il haeby made to all
friends aid relatives OF the soldiers
of this division.
Please send to William e. Connel-
ley. secretary OF the Historical society.
Topeka. Kan, all letters. or copies
thereof. or extracts therefrom, re-
enlistment. and especially since they
went overseas.
Also, ali families and friends Of
these soldiers are requested to send
photographs Of them. The Historical
society hopes to receive a photograph
of every soldier Of the Thirty-fifth di-
vision.
Send also q brief biography of the
soldier, stating when and where he
was born. his residence. name of his
parents, where educated, his trade or
profession before enrolment. when.
where and to whom married if he is
married. and names of children II he
has children.
It is Important that the requests
made in this appeal be complied with
at once. Letters are often lost. and
when the soldiers return they will not
be- valued SO much as they are now,
and will be moro likely to be neglected
and lost. They contain valuable his
torical material. and the society urges
that they be sent in now-or. at least,
copies Of them. They furnish The life,
the human touch, the flesh and blood
for the skeleton framework of official
reports. No good history can be
written without this personal aid, and
it is nowhere SO well given as in these
letters.
This history can not be completed
until the official reports are available,
and before that time, IL is hoped, all
the other material will be here in the
archives in readiness and waiting.
Then the work can be quickly COM
pleted.
Friends and relatives of these SOL
diers should be proud of their achieve
ment. and take pride In having their
letters and photographs hsre to be
preserved for all time.
