WORK Of MOTORCYCLE.
DURING WAR PRAISED

1T is safe to state that $4,000 men
will have learned to operate motor
cycles in connection with army work.
says a prominent army officer in on1
of the army environments. Il have
been with one of the big automobile
companies for the past six years, and
have always been a great booster fol
automobiles with the result that | have
been inclined to look at motorcycles
as a sort of amateur vehicle.
But work that have seen the mo-
torcycle do with my own eyes in army
service has changed my mind in a
conclusive manner. There is no get
ting around the fact that the motor
cycle is an efficient mode of transpor-
tation and one which has filled g cry
ing need in the army.
ITO give you some idea of the topo-
graphy of the country we will not hes
itate to state that this section is par
ticularly billy. Our motorcycles have
been back and forth between the ar
tillery range and the camp hundreds
of times. The distance is fifteen miles
and the roads are narrow and hilly
The motorcycle is the predominant
mode of conveyance to the rifle range,
| five miles from camp. and motorcs-
+ cycles are used extensively in com
munication work with the trench area
about four miles away.
after the war is concluded motor
cycles will be more and more used in
! commercial transportation"

When peace terms have finally

been made accordingly" reads d state
ment just issued by Jacob Pfeiffcc,
president of the Miller Rubber com
pany of Akron, Ohio. The widely
known geared to- the-road tires ana
drug sundries comprise the principals
products of this large concern.

day in the best condition of it's whole
history, continues the statement. "For
the first time in years, our building
operations are complete, at present

GIRLS COVER MUCH

This happy group of girls is knwon

about the first to greet every guest at
the hotels, from which they make reg

They are hardy lot and out in al.

heard from them. When the cold wird
is cutting with frost, they button IL
their big military driving coats and
keep on going. They all say that they
like this work which they took up
when the war labor shortage caused
the WHY'S Overland company to 81

drivers so that the men might be &c.

Some of the girls came from office
positions and some drive their own

work well because they take pride in
it. Through the crowded traffic they

CHEVROLET MOTOR Co.
CLEARED FOR ACTION

With its vast organization intace,
and with its dealers and distributors
throughout the west firmly intrenched
in their old lines the Chevrolet Motor
company of California, is once again
ready for action in its peace-time
role of turning out popular priced
passenger cars and trucks. The waf
clouds which obscured the CONNER
cial horizon are rapidly rolling away,
and it is expected that in a remark
ably short time the big concern will
be on a normal plane in the matter o.

Throughout the war the Chevrolet
company, through President Norman
DeVauX and Vice President r. c. Du-
rant and their aides, made every ef-
fort to retain the representation it hau
before the curtailment period. Dis
tributors and dealers were given ma
terial aid in many ways, and the Gu
in production was so handled that no
favoritism was shown. This impa. =

ADAPTABILITY OF
AUTO HELPED WAR

From the moment of Americas ac-
tive entrance in the world war, the
American built automobile became a
chameleon in the variety of uses and
service it was called upon to give and
perform" said Geo. H. Reuben, local
Kissel distributor. When the efforts
and work of everybody in the country
had to be doubled and trebeled to
meet the unusual demands upon time
and ability, it was due TO the adapta-
bility of the automobile that such
transition could be made so quickly
and without any apparent lessening of
our efforts in other directions This
proof of the utility of the automobile
has made it one of the obvious essen
tails to peace time work. The place
it will occupy in the worlds recon
struction activities could never be
equalled by any other utility or de-
vice"
