ARMY RANK FOR NURSES.

Some time ago former President Taft wrote
an argument favoring army rank for nurses.
It is interesting to note the beginning OF a cam
paign by the chairman OF the medical reserve
of the National Council of Defense to bring
about this change in the army status of nurses.
A bill is before the military committees OF both
houses of congress providing for the comforting
of rank on all nurses in military hospitals and
will soon come up for action. The whole rou-
tine efficiency in our hospital service depends
on the nurses Yet they not now enabled
to give any orders or to direct the work OF or
,lerlies and helpers from the ranks That the
whole business is managed with success at all
1nder present conditions is due to the tact of
nurses and the respect which their work COM
pels from all men in the service. Here is some
thing to be done at once which is dictated by
considerations of practical efficiency and at
the same time is richly deserved tribute to the
nursing service of the army. Mr.. Taft has been
right in his war proposals and most of them
see accomplishment But the government is
some months behind Mr. Taft in seeing and do
ing necessary things.
Sylvia Pankhurst; suffraget was working In
one of the base hospitals on the western front
that was recently bombarded by German

happy, piping days of peace in dear old Eng

Home Week on the Rhine.

ago Germany visioned herself as the ruler Of

ORDER YOUR CARS EARLY AND AVOID
 THE RUSH REVISED

It is only to be expected, according to MT. Hotchkiss of the Overland Ari- zona company, that the prices of all motor vehicles will take an upward turn within the next sixty to ninety days. This is not all due to scarcity of material and labor but largely to lack of transportation. It is true what a number of the automobile factories are doing great deal of manufactur- ing for the government and have in some measure decreased production from this reason; but chiefly account of their inability to secure transporta- tion. In almost every large automo- bile center in the east the manufac- turers have vast numbers of cars and trucks ready and awaiting delivery storage space is at premium-and since there is no additional storage space available-and no outlet for their products-the only thing left is to de- crease production. A decrease in pro duction for any large motor builder means increased cost of production. hence the price of machines of all kinds is bound to be affected. To any one thinking of the purchase of any kind of motor equipment-my advice is to buy it now

STEAM CALLED
 IDEAL METHOD
 IF. TRAVELLING

"Steam,' said Waldemar Kaempffert some months ago, "is the most highly standardized and perfected power in branch of industry has been well earned. Identically the same charac- teristics that have given it supremacy in all variable speed. variable load work adapt it perfectly to the auto mobile"
 Many and diversified have been the arguments concerning the relative val ues of the steam and combustion en- zine, hundreds of theories advanced and exploded; but the undeniable speed, power and trustworthiness of the steam engine are beyond con- demnation.
 It is claimed by the local Stanley steamer agency, that running expense as compared with the gas car is far below the latter; that by actual test four times the mileage may be ob- tained from one set of good tires; and point out that fuel is extremely low.
 The steam car can operate on any combustible fluid from gasoline to crude oil, although kerosene is the standard.
 Perfect starting torque is another point claimed, without the necessity of waiting to start the engine. Controls on the Stanley are very simple the throttle and reverse being the only points to be taken care discriminating the gear shifting, ignition systems, with electric starter, etc.

SPEED AND TIRE WEAR

One of the most expert tire men in the country recently called the atten- tion Of motor car owners to the manner Tn which tire wear increases with speed. The faster a tire travels the more heat 1t generates internally Nor maj speed does not increase the inter- nal heat to dangerous degree but ex- cess speed will not only raise the heat above the danger point, but may actu- ally cause further vulcanization to take place. This heat not only dries out the friction gum between the plies of fabric but the very fabric itself. lowering the elasticity of the tire, decreasing it's reslllency and weakening the tire so that it will blow out early.

 SUPPORTS TRAVEL
 BY TRUCK SCHEME

within the very near future, prob- ably during 1918, system of motor truck lines will connect the most inn portant transportation centers Of the country, with fleets of trucks running on regular schedules and making con- nections at important intersecting points with branch lines extending out into tributary territory" prophecies H. w. Nerney of the KisselKar.
 While everyone knows that the transportation problem is one of the most serious of the many for which this country must find the solution, everybody does not realize the import ant part which the motor truck will play in solving it.
 Viewed in one way, the utilization of the motor truck has increased with remarkable rapidity; and yet, when you look at it from another viewpoint, it is surprising how slow business has been to take full advantage If the enor nous saving of time and labor which the motor truck makes possible.
 The motor truck may fairly be said to have supplanted the team for haul ing and delivery purposes. But we do not as yet realize the extent to which if is going to relieve the railroads from handling a large tonnage of small and troublesome freight, and to improve transportation service throughout the country
 Some beginnings have been made and the results have proved most sue cessful. Motor trucks are now run ming on regular schedule between some adjacent cities. In England they have carried the system much further, and goods trains trucks with a string of trailers, traverse many parts of the country.
 In this development, as in so many others, the war has taught us more than we would otherwise have learned in many years. Where would the French and British armies be without their enormous fleets of motor trucks and lorries? What the motor truck is doing today behind the lines in France, it can do for us in this coun- try.
 Motor truck trunk line systems, with tributary lines serving tributary districts, would be of immeasurable advantage to manufacturers in many lines. to wholesalers, retailers and to the consumer, to say nothing of re- lieving the railroad congestion. The mauufacturer would be enabled to make quicker and more frequent de- liytries to Wholesalers or to retailers. The retailers trading radius would be

 This plan was impossible because of the element of time; and when the business man suggested motor trucks, the woodsman said that, in his opinion, the snow was too deep in the woods for motor truck to get in, much less get out with a load.
 However, the business man declined to take his word for the difficulty, and began consulting motor truck authori- ties. He found none who cared to tackle the job until he phoned c. $. Henshaw. MT. HenshaW was so con- fident of the ability of Dodge Brothers commercial car to go anywhere that he

Al least one business man in Boston is thankful to the motor, car and a country wood lot for preventing a com- plete shut-dow of his business dur ing the New England coal famine. For the wood was transported to his fac tory over country roads, through deep snow, at a time when he had no coal and could get none.
 When he found himself actually face to face with the alternative of buying wood or stopping business, this man made inquiry and learned that Boston coal yards held their wood at $l4 to S16 a cord. Even SO, none had truck or team available for immediate de- livery of wood.
 Then it occurred to him that last fall, while driving his car along the road from Boston to Worcester, Mass he had noticed a large wood lot with
