Announcement was made last week
that the Colt-Stratton Company OF New
York has been appointed Metropolitan
distributor for the DE truck by the
Day-Elder Motors Corporation of New
ark. n. ].
For some time past there has been
an urgent need for a service station
In the Metropolitan territory. Owners
were compelled to send to Newark for
their parts or have local garages make
necessary repairs. These owners have
welcomed the appointment Of Colt
Stratton with considerable enthusiasm
as this company has attained a high
standing through It's service to owners
Of Dodge Bros. motor cars.
Colt-Stratton Company has four en-
tire floors OF the new building at 100
toy 1913 West Sixty-fourth street They
are unusually we'll equipped to handle
all kinds OF repair work and these
facilities have already been extended
to present owners of Day-Elder trucks
in their territory.
Not the smallest part OF this DE
truck service conskts in monthly in
spection of these vehicles to insure
their most profitable operation.
II has been realized that the greatest
need I'm the operation Of motor vehicles
to-day Is the skilled operator. who has
become practically extinct through the
demands made upon this field by the
Government Motor Transport services.
To meet this need the Colt-Stratton
Company is developing a school OF in
struction that will transform unskilled
labor in a very short period OF time
into competent drivers Of motor vehicles.
This school will take charge not only Of
the actual care and operation OF the
motor vehicles. but will also At the

portant that the men coming back should have the effect of bath and clean clothing"
 The medical officers report sets forth that efforts are under way to arrange for transportation of the bath ing equipment "so as to continue the bathing program whenever the divi- sion moves to a new area"
 In many instances the soldiers rest camps are located along streams and when this is the case the men are taken in attachments of several hun dreds at a time for a real summer swim and allowed to remain in the water as long as they like. But up front, when baths are being provided within sound of the big guns, each man is only allowed so many minutes in the water and he comes out looking forward to getting back to civilization and contemplating spending an hour or so in a nice big tub.

MEAL,BATH SHAVE FOR THE TANK
 FROm FRONT
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

' WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN : FRANCE, Oct, 80 (CoucSpoEden,, of The Associated Press)- When a soldier comes out of battle the things he longs for are piping hot meal. a shave, a bath, change of clothing and real bed. During the July anG August offensive when the Germans were driven across the Marne to the VeSle and with the Americans on the move northward day and night 1t was no easy matter to provide the soldiers with these essentials but day after day the task was accomplished and in many instances the water for bathing purposes was hot.
 Further improvements of the Sys- tenn of providing baths for the men on the very edge of the battlefrontS is contemplated. American officers say that the day is not far away when the rolling shower bath apparatus will be as common a sight along the roads back of the lines as are the rolling kitchens today.
 One of the divisions engaged in the recent fighting used forty-eight show CTS heads and also a disinfector in which battle Soiled clothing was ster- lized.
 Even with this meagre equipment we have been able to keep the fight ing men in good condition" an offic or reported. At the bathing centre We can bathe 200 to 1,5O0 men each day During the offensive we averaged T., O27 men per day. As they were reliev cd from the line they were either marched to bathe or transported in camionS, and every man was given good, hot bath and change of clothing. In four days 5,642 men and 1@7 of ficerS passed through the baths.
 "The effect of the baths on the men was wonderful. They came from the front lines worn out dirty, clothing torn, and left the baths Splendidly bucked up, physically and mentally. As most of these men had to go bac'l into the line few days after coming out, one can appreciate the value of bath and change of clothing.
 Ut was exceedingly gratifying to feel that We did not necessarily cease to work while the division was in act ion, at time when it was very i'm
