Then the war came to America and jolted us all and individually awake to some disagreeable realities. We had thought our steam and cleo tric railroads were adequate for our transpor- tation needs But we found their fullest capac- ity from 15 to 20 per cent short of what was re- quired. Inthis prodigal land of plenty it became necessary to speed up agricultural production, though with less farm labor and horses available than formerly, lest we go hungry.
 City business and professional men, who had thought they were doing all they could do, were confronted by the necessity of accomplishing each twenty-four hours twice or three times what they previously had considered full days work. Then and not until then did we begin to understand thoroughly the part which the motor vehicle could play in solving the problems of re- adjustment to unprecedented conditions. We are only beginning to comprehend now.
 Tt is supplying, us with the necessities we lack most acutely. Everywhere it supplements the inadequate transportation service of steam and electric railroads and of street cars. It more than takes the places of the men and horses drawn from our farms It saves the city busi- ness and professional man so much time he otherwise would lose that he can multiply his working capacity.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-24

"The motor vehicle, which has been mis- understood all the twenty-two years since the first American built car was sod is coming into it's own at last. We are beginning now to appre- ciate what the industry is worth to us as peo- pie and individually. We are finding out that whether we are car owners or not, the motorve- hicle IS rendering to each one and to all of us in valuable service which it alone can perform
 We perceive that the automobile is a neces- sity instead of a luxury; that man without an automobile is at an economic disadvantage com pared with the man who is aided in his daily work by that incomparable utility. We recog- nize the fast growing importance of the motor truck as an independent and as an auxiliary means of express and freight transportation. We read in the papers, for instance, that the gov ernnent purposes to operate truck trains from the central west to the seaboard to relieve rail- road congestion in moving supplies.
 We see that the tractor is the only efficient substitute for the men and horses that have been drained from our agricultural communities. We comprehend more and more of the infinite va riety of uses for internal l-combustion engines on farms and in our cities" The passenger auto- mobile'an the motor truck are public utilities which are absolutely essential to our national efficiency. The motor car is

CHAPTER NO. +.
HIS CALLS.

The world, the flesh and the devil
certainly seemed to be COnSpiTlng
against Fred Mason just then. 1t was
only a f1w nights later that he fell
from grace, No much Of Il fall, to
he sure, as falls go; but, on the other
hand, not many boys Of 10 have grown
to manhood in as clean an atmosphere
as he had. Not many boys are 50
close TO their mother. And ANYWAY
all falls are comparative. Though Fred
dies made such Il little thud-the dis
lance being exceedingly Short-that
only his own ears could have detected
the sound of the impact, However:
1t came about at Il dance. Fred
loved to dance, He danced very well,
too. He was high-spirited and he had
a quick and sensitive ear for music.
incidentally, It had been the music that
counted for him before this; not the
girl, Usually he wanted his partner to
keep time and not talk.
This particular girl he rather per
functorily had asked to dance with
him. He didn't even remember her
name afterward. She was just some
body's sister" though she didn't look
it, and there was some boyish obliga-
ton somewhere to see that she wasn't
a wall flower" However, there was
small danger of that.
The dance was q subscription affair
at one Of the big apartment hotels on
the upper West Side. near Fred's home.
All were very young people who went
to it. Some of the boys were still at
prep" schools; most Of the others
freshmen at college. The girls We're
the boys sisters and best girls'-nice
young things, plenty Of them doing
up" their hair for the first time.
e. But the, cause Of poor Freddie's fall
from grace was-ditferent. He didn't
like her looks much when he went to
ask her to dance with him, though
he'd been assured she was "a. queen
and the other boys were two deep
about the couch where she sat fam
ming herself.
She wore a brilliantly ~splangled dress
and her hair vas piled high oil her
head and caught with a 'stupendous

nature unassisted. Indeed. she seemed
to have rushed to that elderly lady's
| aid most generously with cosmetics anC
powder. Fred never before had danced
with d young girl whose gown was
cut quite so low in the back. So hi
fumbled ~awkwardly when they started
before he could find n bit of chiffot
or a bow to clutch in place of hel

Once they were gliding over the floor
together h began to chatter. She
didn't seem to be able to keep in step
and she was tickling Fred's neck abom.
inably with her feather fan, so he
didn't pay much attention to what she
said. lie hoped the dance would be
