From the large membership en-.
rollment of the American Automobile

1t looks as if it would take more
than "curtailment of production
shortage of gasoline" or scarcity of
rubber" to dampen the arlor of local

to joining this popular organization
Which is as it should be, for no club

MOTOR TRUCKS SUPPLY
Pure WATER FOR ARMY

The motor truck Is playing an i'm
portant part in supplying our SOL
| diers in France with pure drinking
I water. Letters from the front have
frequently mentioned the polluted
condition of many of the streams and
| wells, and the wonder of the poilu
that his, American comrade would
ever dare drink any such dangerous
fluid as water.
In order to provide pure drinking
water for the men in sections where
permanent water works nave not been
established, mobile water trains have
been constructed and are now oaer-
ating in France under the jurisdic-
ton of the medical department of the
! Army. These trains are miniature
water works, which chemically treat,
fit for consumption.
They do everything that municipal
water works does to provide pure wa
ter to the people of town or city.
Chemical treatment and filtration re-
move those substances that make wa
ter muddy and discolored says a
writer in Power Wagon. The filtra-
ton process also removes a certain
rumber of germs. The removal OF
the germs is accomplished by apply
ing liquid chlorine, the agent almost
universally used in the sterilization
of water. Chemicals are also added to
hlorinate-remove excess of chic
rine that gives the water an unpleas-
ant taste.
Several of these publication units.
with their attached motor tank
trucks. constitute train. Each unit
is mounted on a motor truck and is
a complete filtration plant, including
laboratory. Arriving at a stream, it
sets hose into the water and then
pumps the water through a pressure
tank. Before the water passes through
the sand filter it is chemically treat
ed. When the water is passed out
of the motor truck it is free from
all disease germs. The pure water
is pumped into the tanks mounted on
motor trucks, which carry the water
to the soldiers.
Each mobile unit carries an expert
chemist. bacteriologist and pumpman.
There is complete laboratory in
the front of the machine for the
testing of the water. Tests are made
it is thought necessary. The water
is lifted into the filter by gasoline
pump engine, and a complete supply
of extra dry pipes and tools is car
ried. SO that all repairs. either from
accident or shellfire. can be made
on the spot. The machines are equip
ped with electric lights, SO that the
work can be carried on at night.
Many of the chemists and bac-
teriologists assigned to the mobile
laboratories were formerly connected
with municipal water works and fill
tration plants. These publication
units are operated by a personnel of
the Sanitary Corps of the medical
department.

MUMRIIES STORED
IN SUBWAY LINES

LCndOn.-Ihe treasures of the
British museum, including its price
less collection of mummies, have
been stored for the period of the
war in a deep, uncOmpIeted sub
way which was beng constructed
for the use Of the postofffce author
tiles when the war began. The en-
plOyes Of the postoffices along the
line OF the subway have just raised
protest against the use of the Dor
ing for this purpose, asserting that
it should be reserved for use as an
AFRAID shelter for postal en-
ployes.
Should postal workers or mum
mics use the subway AFRAID shell
teri" asks the Postman's Gazette in
its latest issue 1T is nothing short
of a scandal that relics of doubt
full value should get choice posi-
tons in this subway while access
is denied to members Of the post
Office staff in time Of emergency.
I'VE find government depart
ment doing all in its power to pro
vide for the safety Of the shriv-
eled remains Of the ancients at the
risk of human lives. We have no
concern for all that is left of the
Pharaohs and Cleopatra. They had
their time on earth many centuries
ago"
