date Is the department of stores and accessories. The men in this depart ment are not necessarily trained men, but they must be good managers, as they keep in stock all spare parts which are likely to be called for. Be- sides this, they have charge of the petrol oil, grease, carbide, tires for light cars and, in fact, everything that Is likely to be used on an automobile. The petrol is all sent from England In two gallon tins. These tins ere sealed when they are filled, and if seal is broken when tin of petrol is issued to driver, or if 1t appears to have been opened he may refuse 1t and demand one with the seal intact. Tn this way the chance of receiving defective or i'm pure petrol is avoided.
 There are practically all known makes of motor trucks and cars at the front, as many of them were com mandeered at the beginning of the war. Then again, all the motor manufactur- CTS in England are working day and night to keep the armies supplied with these vehicles. There are also good many American makes in use there.
 The work of the chaplains at the front is not spoken of very much, yet they work as hard and do as much good as any men in any other branch of the service. They are usually at- tached to the royal army medical corps. have seen a chaplain holding service In q field on a Sunday morn- ing, and during the service the enemy commenced 10 shell some huts close by. I firmly believe that if 1t had not been contrary to orders he would have con tinued to worship just the same as though nothing was happening.
 The royal army medical corps is a tremendous unit, and there, too, will be found some of the bravest men in the army, even though they are non combatants. This corps Is always re- ferred to as the R. A. NJ. C., and the British Tommy speaks of 1t as the Rob All My Comrades"
 There is a reason for this, of course, and as near as can make out 1t IS this: When a man is sick or wounded and Is obliged to go into hospital all his belongings are taken from him. He Is supposed to get them back when he Is discharged from hospital, but when one considers the thousands that are taken care of by the hospitals 1t is only reasonable to believe that great many of the little bundles are bound to go astray. Tommy cannot see this' however, so he grumbles and groWlS and often refers to the corps in uncom- pllmentary terms.

Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per

game. At is conclusion he visited with
President Comiskey.
The Senators insisted that right
field was the weak spot of the Sox
defense, and John Collins had seven
putouts and no errors. "Shad" played
a whale OF a game.
The hits were evenly divided. both
the Sox and the Senators securing
five.
The fielding feature was the stop OF
drive from the bat OF Gandil by
Eddie Foster. The third baseman
halted what seemed q certain base
lick and converted IL into an out by
q hurried and accurate peg.
Not until the fifth inning could the
visitors secure a base hit, and then
they punched a pair. but with no fatal
results to the Chicagoans.
It was the last visit OF the WASH
ington lads and no one knows when
they will return again.
The zip and enthusiasm have been
removed from the game and an extra
base wallop no longer Is worth more
than a polite cheer.
