ROUGH RIDING FOR
ARMY MOTORISTS

CAMP MEADE. Nd. Sept. 17.-De-
mand for chauffeurs and auto repair
men is growing so great now in the
army that a novel plan has been
adopted to get into this service all
who have the necessary skill, and
an even more elaborate plan 20 keep
out the inexperienced drivers who
wish to go to war riding. The test
for motor experts and for chauffeurs
has brought out such great results
in this camp that a force of testers
from here have been sent to Camps
Grant. Dodge. Custer. Funston. and
Pike to start the same system there.
The set of questions haze now
been arranged so that the man who
drove his own car in civil life is al
most certain to find himself at the
wheel again putting speed into the
march to Berlin.
The secret symbol card is the
novel device by which a man whose
questions indicate certain needed
skill can be further questioned and
tested without knowing what he is
being sought for by the testers.
There are men who want to get
away from old civilian lines when
they get in the service, but the serv-
ice sometimes needs them to play
some essential part other than firing
rife. In most cases the trade test
fits a man just where he has a
chance to shine and get immediate
enjoyment out OF his accomplish
-ments.
Tests are now being elaborated for
many special lines, but chiefly for
work OF driving or repairing auto
mobiles. The track for driving looks
lilo sfaan1nchaea
ground. Many who have been driv-
ing a long time fail to make a per-
feet score, but qualify as novices or
as in one of three grades.

PRIEST JOINS RADIO

CAMP MEADE. Sept. 1.-THE
2lIth Field Signal battalion, which
includes many men who studied
French in college and since the war
have polished up on the language.
have had assigned to their unit Ser
geant Jean Richard, a French priest,
who is also an expert on radio work.
Father Richard. as many call him,
has made years OF scientific study of
field wireless, and to this has added
the most valuable practical expert
ence under the most severe condi
tions.
Not less than thirty-five or forty
priests of his acquaintance enrolled
in this service and have been in
charge of the most important wire
less work from the very first. No
instruction the battalion has receiv-
ed has given more satisfaction to the
men than that impaired by Father
Richard in English and in French.
