W. o. Wilson, secretary of motor transportation for the National War Work Council of the Young Mems Christian Association. 124 East Twen- ty-eighth street, has returned from France to recruit in the United States what our French allies call gentle men drivers" In other words, MT Wilson appeals particularly to the well-to-do business man who owns and drives his own automobile. There is work for him to do overseas. It is hoped that seventy-five men of this calibre will sail immediately. Fifty men will be sent in April and fifty in June. 4
 In obtaining recruits for this work in the American Y. NJ. c. A, Motor Transport Service, emphasis is laid upon the opportunity given to men who otherwise would be barred from entering the service directly These drivers will not be required to do re- pair work, although the exigencies of a situation in the battle areas may make them more valuable if they can do a bit of necessary repairing now and then on the road. Any man of fifty years who is in good physical

drivers for the trucks that carry sup plies. Drivers should be able to make minor repairs and should thoroughly understand the oiling and greasing and daily maintenance necessary in driving a truck or car.
 "The high moral standards and character required by the '. M. C. A. in other positions overseas must be satisfied in the motor transport ser vice. Any man who has driven car or preferably several cars and who can qualify, is patriotic and intelli- sent and has a desire to help make this work a piece of service, is the man for whom we are looking"
 Mir Wilson has obtained the cooper alton of the various organizations in the automobile industry and also has I'carried his campaign into channels where he believes the men he is seek ing may be found. All the important clubs of the country have been re- quested to- display his appeal ,promi- nently either in their club puDlica- tions or on their bulletin boards. In I spite of the many demands from over seas upon the patriotism of men who are beyond draft age, Mir. Wilson is confident of overwhelming his quota. 1 because driving an automobile under the conditions prevailing in the Y. M | C. A. motor transport service is work

 Discussing the qualifications re- quired of drivers, MT. Wilson said yesterday:
 sLet it be understood that We can not say that a man will do nothing but driving if he goes to France. He will find himself doing whatever piece of work the emergency necessitates But, the man who goes as driver will for the most part drive and take care of his own car or truck.
 "He will not be asked to do any re- pair work if he has not had any ex- perience which will enable him to dc it, but a man who goes as either me- | chanic or driver must go with the will | lfngness to do the job well no matter | what the job is. as far as he can.

 New York, April S-War is teaching America how to play.
 In the myriad of tragic things that have followed in the wake of war, it is a pleasure to chronicle on the au- thority of Dr. George J.

The war is furnishing that inspiration to seventy per cent. of the young men of the Ila- ton who didn't know how to play when the United States entered the war,
 Seventy per cent. of the very flow CT Of the young manhood of the coun- try who were assigned to one western cantonment didn't know how to play Many of them thought they did, but the majority of them had been over looking the fact that play as well as l work has a solid foundation. The l commandant of that camp, recently returned from France, had revised completely his opinion of the place oi 1 play in the preparation of an army fol ! war. Play is compulsory in tha camp today.

The Boston magnate declares that a base on three balls would compel the pitcher to put 'em over. the plate more frequently and in that way increase the hitter's chances, their sharps seem to think that Haughton's idea would result in too many free passes, which would soon disgust the fans.

TOMATO POTATO PLANT Is
 HUN HORTICULTURE WONDER

NEW YORK, Nov, 20 A toma- to- ao,ata is the latest "wonder" of German horticulture according to Ger man newspapers received here. Ac- cordirg to their accounts, tomatoes and pota.oaS have been raised on one plant. On a strong branch of g po;at" plant was grated 8 shoot of a. tomato plant. After a process of hardening which required one month the grafted plant was sat out in the open. The two branches then thrived as one.
 From sixteen such plants it is sta5- cd p pounds of tomatoes and 25lbs. Of potatoes were gathered. The plants require only rich loose warm soil, much sunshine and ordinary care. German papers say the achievement is not astonishing as the tomato and the potato belong to the same plant species that of solanum.
