several months training one Of the

When he was q member Of the general

OF quarters at Fort Myer the last few
days. Mai Gen. Peyton c. March has

In command at Camp Dix for many
months now the big old place has
been closed and the sign bearing the
name OF Gen. Scott has never been
removed from the front until just now.
The families Of the officers Of the
Fifth and Second Cavalry regiments,
of the oficers who were instructors at
the officers training camps at Fort
Myer. have all been occupying the
quarters at Fort Myer. though their
husbands are now scattered all over
the world. Some Of those families
have had to move to make room for
newcomers. Mrs. Robert Welsh and
.her daughter Helen are in that group.
They are staying with Mrs. David
Rumbough until they make their
plans. Col. Welch has been at Camp
Lee since the close OF the second offi-
GERS training camp at Fort Myer. He
expects to 90 to France very soon.
It's intImated from q high authority
that pretty soon We'll be expected to
begin some real sacrificing for the
war. The story goes that certain gen.
tlemen connected with the War In
dustries Board are looking reproach-
fully at some three million motor
cars that glide about the streets and
roads Of this country. enjoying them
selves hugely. 1t takes an army Of
men to build and maintain and
"chauff" these contraptions; in fact 1t
has been estimated that IL all the
people employed directly and indirect
ly in the auto world could be mobi-
lzed In shipyards, munition factories
and at the front. they would double
the forces now engaged In those oc-
cupations. Certainly they would pro-
vide handsome reinforcements.
The story goes that before long we
are to begin hearing wise observations
about the necessity OF utilizing these
skilled mechanics building aircraft,
ships and guns. Then there will be
some tentative advances toward cut
ting down the privileges of the motor
drivers; and finally, as has happened
in Europe. the pleasure car will be
cody interned on the ground that rs
q nonessential. a luxury, an extrava-
gance, and uses too much gasoline
that the war needs. The war seems
to need everything; and II the au-
thorlties are expecting the motor car
owners to protest very violently. it's
a good guess that they are mistaken.
A hundred people have been heard to
observe lately that II everybody else
was treated likewise, and they were
ready to give up their cars and ride on
the trains. Well. it's going to require
some patriotism for q lot of these
auto-spoiled folks to ride on street

DETROIT, Feb, 13-There is one
prominent hoarder in Detroit, who
doesn't care who knows it.
His name is Charles Navin and his
father, Frank, owns the Detroit base
ball club. Charles is secretary of the
team and he is vigorously on the
scent of the cent. He is collecting
pennies by the quart.
Secretary Navin has a good reason
for his activity. There will be n
war tax of eight cents on baseball
passes this season and a tax of ten
percent on paid admissions. Ameri-
can league magnates suggested to
government officials that a tax of 10
cents on passes would be ''all right"
but the government ruled that the law
says eight cents and eight cents It

urging a higher tax on passes was to

Navin, who is considered u statist

pieces will change hands.

transactions unnecessary. But Nav
