Automobile Class Already
Has a Waiting List
of Ten.
SCHOOL EVERY NIGHT.
Embryo Mechanics Got
Right to Work Last
Night.

Swamped with applicants, both
branches Of the war schools in Fair
mont started under very adorable
auspices last night. In the class for
automobile repair men the applicants
number forty. II is so large that it
was necessary 10 form two classes in
the subject and retain a waiting list
of ten. In the radio class eighteen
applications were filed.
The auto repair shop school was
held last evening in the Standard
Garages storage rooms on Meredith
street. in the rear of the aMsonic
Temple. +. J. Hawkins. who has
charge Of the war calsses in connec-
ton with City superintendent Otis
Wilson, says the number in the auto
repair class was about three times
he number of applicants anticipated.
Two classes of fifteen each were
formed The men whose application
blanks had even NUMBERS were placed
i'm one calss and those who had odd
numbers were assigned to the other.
The odd NUMBERED class will meet
every Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day evening between 1880 and $3.50
O'Clock. The even numbered class
will meet every Monday. Wednesday
and Friday evenings between the
same hours.
Lawrence Brown, Of the Standard
Garage, instructs in engine repair
york. Ii is probable that Walter
Fullward, who conducts a garage al
Fourth street and Walnut avenue.
will be secured later TO instruct the
lass in the electrical phase Of the
inject.
The gerater portion Of last night
as spent in organizing the classes,
ut there was sufficient time left to
nable the class to to tear down the
ngine of an Overland car under the
direction of Mr.. Brown. Two or three
men assisted in this work, while sew
eral ignition men looked after the
electrical work. Some Of these men
had either owned or driven cars and
knew something about the work. but
even men who had never been &C
Quainted with the fechanism Of an
auto displayed unusual ability.
The auto repair school has begun
with a boom and if the men regularly
enrolled lose itneerst or become tardy
or Indifferent in attendance they will
,vtnr,o.ticollv pouc ont If tho ola &C
rs already there are ten men anX-
iOusly awaiting a chance to take up
the workkk. This should have ten
dency TO spur on good attendance and
general interest in the work u Is not
very likely that any more az s.cpair
classes will be formed.

bile repair classes and those who
