it develops internal troubles. How ever, Miss Davis has worked in a garage so that she knows what to expect and she has no illusions, either, as to the kind or the amount of work she will be called upon to do.
 Some time ago a speaker in St Paul told of the difficulties the Ameri- can Fund for French WounGed had in getting it's cars properly attended to in garages. The immense demands of the military branches take prece- dence over everything else. Conse quently the motor service of the A. F. E. w, which has assumed consider able proportions, was in danger of being crippled. AS this speaker told of the need for mechanics and the difficulty experienced in finding them in France. Miss Davis got her big idea
 why can't I go?" she asked. The speaker could do nothing but take such a volunteer so Miss Davis went to work in a garage. Now she knows just what to do to that thingumbob under the hood when the engine coughs twice and dies a lingering death. Furthermore, she took per tectlv good box of tools with her, guarded more jealously than her trunk, for without those she would be in difficulties when she begins to tink- CT. She improved her time while waiting for sailing orders by picking up 1ew additional pointers on vul- canizing and other sorts of first aid to autos, so as to be ready for any thing.
 Paired with Joseph J. Armstrong Miss Davis won the mixed doubles championship of the Northwest ir 1915, and in 1916 she captured the womens title, In 1916 she also won the Ohio state title and was a finalist in the Fri State championship at Gin cinnati Last season Miss Davis de- feated Miss Carrie Medley of Chicago in the finals of the Northwestern Pa triotic tournament

Miss Marguerite Davis of St. Paul

Rolling bandages, cultivating gard ems, selling Liberty Bonds or knitting may all be perfectly good kinds of war work, but they don't appeal to Miss Marguerite Davis, of St. Paul woman tennis champion of the north west. She has gone to France to take job as mechanic in a garage, along with several other young women who have volunteered for various kinds of war work.
 There is no doubt about the fact that she will get her hands dirty and some girls might be dubious about trying to find out what ails car when
