All that reminds one of the circus
days of old are the methods and or

with this tent city. Fo: they. like the
circus people at home, are here today
and gone tomorrow. And every vestige
of their equipment is gone with them.
On an hours notice they strike their
tents, and within twenty-four hours
they are putting them up again-prob-
ably twenty miles away.
Carry Complete Equipment.
Their equipment and methods are
interesting. They carry every sort Of
sanitary, surgical and electrical phara-
phernalia to be found in the most mod
ern Of hospitals. They have X-ray
outfits, sterilizing outfits. radiators
with steam heat, several operating ia
bles with full equipment, electric light
plant and accommodations for the
care Of more than two hundred and
fifty wonderland all with a person
mel Of less than one hundred men and
women.
But where they have the advantage
over the modern circuses Is that they
supply their own transportation. Three
huge mOtortrucks are the keystone OF
the outfit. One is used as a sterilizine
machine and electric light plant. An.
other carries an emergency light plant
and central system for supplying steam
heat in the operating tents. The thirt
serves as a laundry and surgical In
struments carriage.
The tents, cots, bedclothing and 9th

four trucks which are requisitionet
from the transportation department O
