Nine of them are regular sleepers with 36 berths each. In the daytime. for pat tents able to sit up, the lower berths can be transformed in to settees. There are contrivances for tobacco, re- ceptacles for clothing and toilet arti- cles, iayatories. water containers, ev- erything you can think of. and lot Of other things that, unless you see them. you wouldn't believe they could have on a train.
 There is. for example, a car split up into compartments for the segre- gation and treatment of infectious dis eases. There is pharmacy car, with everything the biggest pharmacy in a city has excepting of course, the soda fountain and the city directory. There is a telephone system so that one doctor in car 1 may communicate with another doctor in car 16 at once.
 There is a compartment devoted to dressings: there is an emergency op- eras.ng room. in the event that an op- eration must be made en route. There is room where special diets are sery- ed; there is an officers car With its mess; staff car for the medical off, cers and three nurses: supply car; a personnel car for crew Of g men; and as beautiful sight as has been witnessed in these parts, a kitchen car with a bunch Of regular stoves. Each car has electric light and fans and is steam heated The train has every luxury that the Pullmans at home have and two in addition. You don't have to lip the waiter. and the cars are not named Malazooka or Atha abascerillo, they are numbered.

 Unnecessary Goods Pield Up
 The question of the shipment of par ce,s 10 France came to the attention ct the War Department originally when the Commanding General of the ExpeGitionary Forces cabled that the congestion of such articles had reach ed such a point that French railroads were unable to move them. The Sec re.ary of War and the Postmaster General then organized board con sistins Of the Second Assistant Post master General. a representative Of the Y. NJ. C. X. a repres entative of the Knights of Columbus. representative of the Red Cross. and representative of the port Of emharkation ill the Unit ed States where these articles are shipped. This board examined very carefully 5000 sacks of parcel-post mail and found that the articles there in nos only were in the main absolute ly unnecessary but very undesirab 2. The investigation developed that the amount of such mail had reached the extraordinary total Of 500,000 pounds a week and that the mail for the first half of February was greater than that Of the entire month of January, and that for the first half Of January it was greater than the entire month of De cember.
 Based on Boards Recommendations
 The regulations now in effect, leav- Ing in the hands of the Commanding General Of the Expeditionary Forces the entire control of shipments to in- diyiduals in the military establish IT ant in France. were based on the recommendations resulting from the investigation by this board.
 Relatives and friends will find they often can do greater service to sold iers by sending them money for the purchase of articles in France than by forwarding the articles. Tobacco is now being supplied as part of the Ar my rat;ons. Merchandise of practi cally all kinds can be purchased in

WIRELESS STARTS AUTOMOBILE
Motor Set Going by Spark From Plant
Five Miles Away.

A number of inventors have sue
ceeded in developing apparatus
whereby boats are guided by wireless
telegraph, but the experiment was
tried for the first time the other day
with an automobile. at the Indiana
State Fair, and it worked. The mo-
tor OF an Overland car was, started
every five minutes by a wireless
spark from the Overland headQuar-
tiers in Indianapolis, five miles away.
A complete wireless outfit consist
ing of motor generator, transformers,
relays and other paraphernalia was
installed in the show windows Of the
city sales rooms. This was connect.
ed with an aerial on the roof of the
building and by stepping the alter
mating current up from ITO volts to
$4,000 volts the apparatus made it
possible to send messages 800 miles.
The car on exhibition at the fair
grounds was fitted up with receiV-
ing apparatus and the necessary au-
tomato switches and relays for
throwing on and off the electric cur
rent of the starter and magnetic. An
automatic switch was regulated SO
as to allow the car to run for forty
five seconds, after which the magne-
to was cut off. The operation of
starting the car was repeated at five
minute intervals.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the experiment was the fact
that the entire operation Of starting
the car was accomplished without the
aid of a human hand. A time switch,
installed in connection with the wire
less outfit in the city. controlled the
entire operation.

NETS AND SUBMARINES
How Easily it is to TangIe Up Under
Sea Craft

How Easily it is to TangIe Up Under
Sea Craft
Anybody who has ever seen the
trouble that can be made for a steam
ship when a rope, even though not
very long or very large, gets tangled
in it's propeller will wonder what hap
pened to the German submarine that
ran foul of a fishnet off Dover.
No craft probably owns a margin
of safety quite SO small as does the
submarine, and hardly anything can
happen to it that does not produce
consequences serious or fatal. Now,
the nets used in deep sea fishing are
large, strong and heavy, but they do
not cost much, as war expenditures
go, and the little incident described
all too BRIEFLY in the war news seem
ingly suggests a convenient and eff
fective means of reducing these much
dreaded little assassins to helpless
ness.
With a net once around her organ
of propulsion a submarine would eth
er remain permanently under water,
which would be bad for her crew, or
she would have to rise to the surface
and remain there for considerable
time, within sight of the hostile
marksman, and that, too, would be
attended with most positive incon-
yeniences-Tit Bits.

ORIGIN OF CLEAN SHAVE
Early Greek Warriors Found Wits
kers Handicap in Battle.

Early records state that the prac-
tice of shaving originated in the fact
that the beard afforded too good
hold for an enemy in battle. This IL
the cause assigned for the origin OF
shaving among the Greeks about the
time of Alexander. In other coun-
tries the practice was first adopted
by military men. Historians mention
the alarm in which some Roman en-
perors lived because of the fear that
their BARRIERS might cut their threats.
For the sake of concealing scar on
his throat, the Emperor Hadrian
wore a beard. This fact brought the
custom again into fashion.
