VOLUNTEERING IN ARMY OR
NAVY is IMPOSSIBLE NOW

Washington, Aug. S-Voluntary en-
listment in the army and navy were
suspended completely today to pre-
vent disruption of industry pending
disposition of the bill proposing to
extend draft ages to include all men
between lS and IS years. Orders
were issued by Secretaries Baker
and Daniels directing that no volun-
tary enliStments be accepted after
today until further orders.
The orders also exclude civilians
from appointment to officers train
ing camps until further notice.
The orders were issued after a con
ference between Secretary Baker and
were made public after President
Wilson had visited the offices Of
both secretaries late in the day. #,
is not known whether his visit had
to do with the enlistment situation
but just before he conferred with
the cabinet officers there was no
indication that a step of such dras-
tic nature was anticipated
View of the Government.
1t was explained that the view OF
the government is that many of the
older men are indispensable in their
present occupations but the natural
result of the debate on the draft age
question is certain to lead to a rush
to the recruiting officers 1t is re-
garded as essential that men greatly
needed at home should be prevented
from rushing into the army under
mistaken idea that they are certain
to be drafted anyhow and prefer to
ioin the service voluntarily.

GAMBLING NOT ILLEGAL
BUT OPERATORS GUILTY

Assistant attorney general Hatch
in response to a request from Gov
ernor Lindsey for an Interpretation
of the gambling statutes in New
Mexico this week issued an opinion
that the state law repeating all form
er laws on the subject does not say
anything about the legality of gam
bling except that those who "con-
duct or operate" a game of chance
are culpable.
The information it is understood
was sought with especial reference
to the cowboy roundup being held
in Magdalena this week.

Radical changes IN the mechanical

minor refinements OF the chassis. engine

ADJUST SPRINGS TO

Longer. easier riding springs. both front

The springs are Identical in length and

leaves is varied as required
The front springs are SO inches long
and those in the rear measure IS inches.
The relatively short front springs protect
the engine from road shocks. yet are long

passengers
The long springs in the rear provide
easy riding comfort. their resiliency pro-

TRAILERS WILL
Be 4 BIC HELP
Increased Capacity Will
Broaden Field of Truck
Operations.

The motor truck trailer is just now
coming into its own, according to =.
f Simpson, Of the Simpson-Rice COM
pany. While the necessity for con-
servation Of resources brought about
by the war is in no small measure re-
sponsible for the rapidly increasing
demand for the trailer. the natural
tendency OF the commercial world to-
ward the greatest efficiency at the
least cost is undoubtedly the main
factor in this demand, according to
Mr.. Simpson. He says:
The first difficulty against which
the truck dealer runs in considering
the trailer is the fear that the total
sales of trucks viii be decreased by
its use, but this idea is not grounded
on fact. any more than was the fear
OF the factory workers of some dec
AIDES ago, that the incoming of labor
saving machinery. would decrease the
amount Of work and thus leave thou
sands to starve.
Every year records new inventions
OF labor saving machinery, but the
output Of machinery, instead Of de-
creasing has increased tremendously.
This line OF reasoning is as true when
applied to the motor truck as the fact
that the motor truck is machinery.
Discover and apply new methods Of
the motor truck more effec-
tive, more profitable, and you wis
Immediately increase the demand for
the motor truck, just as surely as II
you lowered the price OF the truck.
Yes. more surely: for in lowering the
first cost Of the truck itself you
would certainly not be saving the
consumer as much as il you lowered
the first cost and the operation cost,
too. And the trailer does both. In
creasing the capacity Of the truck by
giving the user practically two
trucks. the first cost is in reality
lowered, and the operation cost Tor
haulage largely decreased.
Another factor OF considerable i'm
Dortance from the consumer stand
point is the fact that the motor truck
will haul more than It will carry.
even as a horse will draw more than
it will bear. The trailer's efficiency
is thus founded upon a law OF nature
There is not the least doubt that the
trailer will greatly increase the sales
of the motor truck, even as Il in
ereases the motor trucks utility"

Leo J. frost sells Franklin cars

why motorists should buy air cooled
cars in preference to cars with a wa

900 farmers living in the east, west
and south central states Of this coun-

have to give up their automobiles

that they were unnecessary and that
no more were to be made after the

Surprising that a ukase were

IN this country that automobiles were
unnecessary, and that they had better
get ready to buy horses again as soon
as their present supply OF automobiles
ran out. Supposing that our learned
Eavant had decided that automobiles
were not necessary TO our armies, or
