THE
WRECKS Of WAR
Injured Soldiers, Fed Up
on Walking, Turn to
Motor Mechanics.

One OF the great problems connected
with modern warfare is the salvage
OF the human flotsam, which inevita-
bly, results from a conflict partici-
pated in by whole peoples Many Of
the soldiers discharged from the army
have been so injured that they are
unable to take up their accustomed
occupations. and unless they are aided
to become self-supporting. they must
inevitably drift into pauperism. In
the older days it was the custom OF
nations TO leave these injured de-
pendents very much to their own de-
vices, go that the great victories Of
all the conquerers OF the past served
first OF all to fiji the highways Of
their native countries with beggars.
Happily nations today are less cal
lous or less wasteful." saws ". 81
Gladlsh in the April issue OF Motor

Not one OF the nations at war pur-
poses TO permit its old soldiers. no
matter what disability they may Ia

The author then goes IN to relate
the methods that are being pursued
by the Dominion OF Canada, to train
her exsoldiers in trades that viii make
them self-suppOrting. No matter
what a mans physical disa bilities

can follow and then he Is systemati-

ton for him and to that end conducts
exhaustive industrial researches TO

From the motorists point OF view
the Interesting feature Of this CAM
paign is the fact that almost all the
eX-soldiers want 20 study motor me-

Five Arms;
Three Legs

If you should chance some SUNNI
spring day to meet an ambulance from
the war zone and should ask the
driver what cargo he was carrying. do
not be surprised II he answers: two
skulls, a stomach. one lung and two
arms This would be simply the con-
ventional method by which ambulance
drivers at the front answer queries as
to what types OF wounded they hap
pen to be carrying.
Under the title Of Five Arms and
Three Legs" Lieut. c., the transparent
nom de plume OF the commander Of an
am 5ulance section in the French
army, In the April issue Of Motor. the
national ma gaziue OF motoring. brings
out this interesting characteristics In
battlefront nomenclature.
On certain occasion Lieut. c. was
called upon 20 move five arms and
three legs over a stretch OF road under

until lull came IN the iron storm, the
was loaded with its eight
wounded and started at brea knock
speed across the dangerous section

invitation TO German marksmen, and
when the ambulance was IN the mid
die OF the she'll swept area, the deluEe
broke again Shells exploded on all
sides, but by a miracle the ambulance
injury. The driver turned to
see how his injured charges had Jared
and an expression Of stupefactfon
spread over his weatherbeaten fea-
lures.
Wen, III be -: now the arms are
skeddadling," he cried. The wounded
men, forgetting their disabilities, had
made shift TO crawl out Of the ambu-
lance and throw themselves into the
ditch alongside the road After the
shelling had died down again, the
lieutenant gathered up his convoy,
but on calling the roll Il was found
that two OF the arms were missing"
DO you happen to know what has
become Of your two comrades2" he
asked one OF the remaining patients
Two Of them have hooked Il. sir"
replied the man They says Just Ike
this, sis; that they thought Il a tarna-
ton sight better 70 return TO the
trenches than to be mlnce-meated on
this blooming road"
Which tends to show that there are
even worse places than the trenches.

accepted rs the apothesis Of an all too
recurrent redundancy.
At least $4,000 cars VIII be dellv-
cred to distributors and dealers
throughout the United States under
their own power this year. according
TO George H. Dickson. president Of
the National Motor Car and Vehicle
corporation. Of Indianapolis. or an av-
craze Of approximately 5000 daily in
the six months OF spring ard summer
This estimate is based on the output
Of 1917. when a total Of 1900. 600 auto
mobiles were built in the United
States and the production and ship
ping schedules OF the present year,
which call for a uniform cut Of 40
percent In last seasons output TO
comply with the government request
and the delivery Of half this product
relieve the railroads OF added bur
dens.
'The automobile drivea way IS the
logical method Of delivering cars this
year, for the very simple and obvious
reason that when there Is only one
way 70 accomplish an end, that way Is
the logical one" said the head Of the
National company. The motor car
makers cannot depend upon the rail-
roads, especially those lines running
east TO the Atlantic seaboard. Their
first duty is to move the food supplies
and r~HNHHnHw #awHnNg and This
efficiently they must use all the roll
ing stock on which automobiles were
shipped in previous years

essential factor IN American business,
an Indispensable ally Of the produc-
ton that viii help win the war. and
for that reason they must reach their
millions OF users. II the railroads
cannot transport motor GAYS, a substl-
tute means OF delivery must be en-
ployed The one and only substitute
is the Driveway"
Overland Drives Many.
Recent driveaways at the Overland
plant have broken all previous rec
ords- During the past 80 days 1888
cars were taken across the country. In
spite OF the severe cold spell during
part OF the month. dealers and distrib-
utors made unusual demands upon the
factory 70 anticipate the spring rush
Of business. Only 1000 cars were
driven away during the same period
in 1917.
These figures do not by any means

this showing, but tley do indicate
that the far sighted dealers are set

quirements. II spite OF unprecedented 4
traffic problems our dealers are doing ]
their utmost not to disappoint their ]
customers as the best driving days Of 4
the year approach.
1T Is certainly gratifying 70 see the
assurance Of these men In all parts Of .
the country" said WHY'S. Those Of /
vision are unanimous in pre-
lictinE a wen sustained demand for
