TAXATION OF AUTOS

In petitioning Congress MOTTO place prohlbl-
tive war tax on automobiles, the national auto
association presentsSome interesting facts.
Tt is claimed that the passenger automobile is
now nine-tenths for utility and scarcely one-tenth
devoted to what has been designated as pleasure
riding" 1t is claimed that vacation periods may
be spent in the form of interstate road journeys
and there may be local evening and Sunday trips,
but the fact remains that preponderating per-
centage of the cars mileage is employed by MEM
bers of the family to crowd more work into one
day than was ever before possible.
Railroads conditions have compelled an in
long-distance travelling is more general than in
previous years.
One Illuminating example of what can be done
where highway is constructed capable of meet
ing present maximum traffic demands, exists in a
forty-mile stretch of Ohio road connecting Cleve-
land-Akron. A census for week gave total of
1879 vehicles, of which only 685 horse
drawn. Fifteen per cent of the total were motor
trucks, which carried 5,014 tons of freight as
compared to $3.50 tons shipped by three railroads.
Thirty-three thousand people were transported
in passenger automobiles.
The automobile has taken a place in the pas
senger and freight transportation of the country
second only to the railroads. Farmers, a class,
are the most extensive buyers of autos OF the
1,798, 800 motor vehicles manufactured last year,
So per cent were purchased by farmers.
- estimated that, as result of the devel-
opment of motor driven.vehicles, the power gen.
Grated by gasoline exceeds that generated by
coal and steam nearly two to one; the horsepower
produced by steam being estimated at about
II 900 900 and that by gasoline at over 100000
900.
1t is quite probable that autos will be subjected
to heavy tax in the forthcoming war revenue
BILL though the form and extent of the tax is
matter of speculation. To conserve gasoline
well as to produce revenue, it is believed that
in addition to subjecting each vehicle to tax,
graded according to the nature of the service
in which it is used, road mileage tax will also
be included.

WEATHER PLAYS BIG
PART IN WORK OF
THE N|GHT BOOMERS

A British Aerodrome Somewhere in
France, July S0.-(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press).-An hour be-
fore dusk, weather reports from all
parts OF France. as well as from Lon
don and the English coast, begin pour
ing into the office of the Might Bomb
Ing Squadron" When machines are
going on a long flight to bomb Ger
man towns, it is very desirable to
know what weather may be expected.
By means of a little balloon whose
speed and ERECTION, as it scars up
ward, is registered by a special in
strunent, the direction and force OF the
wind at different levels is discovered.
This information tells the airman
what course he must steer and what
allowances he must make for deflec-
ton and winddrift.
The pilots and observers are called
ito the mapping office and the order
for the night is read aloud by the
commanding officer. Maps are col
lected and photographs of the objec-
tive are examined. so that the airmen
may familiarize themselves with the
surroundings as they appear from the
air.
Then they hurry away to their
rooms, and get ready for the long
flight through the cold night skies.
Heavy sweaters are donned and soft
leather thigh boots lined with white
fleece are pulled Oh over thick wool
en- stockings. MHfflers are wrapped
round necks and mouths. The airmen
climb into overall suits of waterproof
material lined with long black fur
These are securely strapped at ankles
and writs. Fur-lined leather helmets
and goggles are put on, and yellow
whale oil is smeared over the face t.

up their thick, fur gloves, their tor
ches and maps, their sandwiches and
vacuum TASKS, their notebooks and
pencils the airmen straddle awkwardly
out to the airdrome where the great
machines stand silently in dim line,
ready to burst into life at the order
to start.
The first of the big machines slow
ly TAXED across the aerodrome. turns
to face the wind, halts little and then
gathering momentum every second, it
rushes across the grass and climbs uD
into the night till it can no longer be
seen, and it's two wing-tip lights, like
fiery eyes, alone show where it moves
in the darkness. For several minutes
its pulsing drone can be heard as it
climbs in great circles over the aero
drome. Every eye is turned upwards
watching the little lights. Suddenly
ball of red appears in the sky drops
slowly, and dies out. I. is a signal
describing the weather conditions up
aloft and conveying an order to those
on the ground
One by one the huge machines glide
out into the middle of the field, thun-
der across the grass and rise, soaring
to the stars. For time, their muir
muir fills the skies, but soon a heavy
silence rescends on the aerodrome.
while in the east beyond the German
lines can be seen the pale fingers of
the cropping searchlights.

NUTRITION. OFFICERS AT ARMY CAMPS


TO eliminate waste so far as possible and to
insure efficiency in the feeding of the men, the
war department will station nutrition officers in
every National Guard camp, well as in every
camp where 10000 or more soldiers in train
ing. These officers are food specialists who be-
fore they joined the Army as members of the div
ision of food and nutrition of the Medical Dep
artment were connected with colleges and public
bodies as psychologists chemists, economists,
food inspectors, and experts in other specialized
work relating to food.
Since October of last year the division of food
and nutrition has been making surveys of food
conditions in the camps. Groups of officers have
gone from camp to camp, studied the food served
how it was inspected stored and prepared, and
have made recommendations which, upon being
carried out, resulted in many advantageous
changes.
Although the principal work of these groups
was inspection of manner of handling and pre-
pairing food the visiting officers were able to give
considerable instruction in the principles of nutri
ton, the proper selection of foods and the con-
struction of dietaries to mess officers, medical
officers, and others who were interested.
mess personnel on some of these topics, as well
as on the various methods of avoiding waste, the
Importance of keeping kitchens and mess halls
clean and orderly, and the methods of Judging
and storing food.
Survey parties were instructed to seek in every
possible way to reduce waste. 1t was found that
men and officers were very willing to cooperate in
making surveys and to reduce as much as possible
the waste of food.
Work of this character showed the necessity
of keeping nutrition officer in each camp at all
times so that he might advise about the compost
ton and nutritive Value of dietaries make in
spections for authorizations, spoilage, and deter
ioration, and to cooperate with the mess officials
Sixty new officers are to be commissioned in the
division of food and nutrition to handle the ad-
ditional work. All will be food specialists sim
liar to those already in the service.

WOMEN IN WAR WORK

Recent reports concerning the replacement of
men by women in Great Britain are made avail
able in the August issue of the Monthly Labor
Review.
In April, 1917 the number of women directly
replacing men estimated at 1,256,OO0 of
whom over three-fourths were found in industrial
and commercial occupations and in government
employ.
In January, 1918, according to the British
Labor Gazette of June, 1918, this number had in
creased to 1,442, 900.
The degree to which women replace men varies
widely in different industries.
In government establishments, not including
controlled establishments engaged in munitions
work, they formed 36 per cent of the total emplo-
wees: in banking and finance, GAG per cent; in
commercial occupations 1863 PEI cent in engine
ering firms, Ia per cent and in all metal trades
per CENT. These figures refer only to- the
women directly replacing men. Many others are
engaged in work which they replace only partial
ly, or indirectly, men who have been withdrawn.
While the need for replacement has not been so
great in this country it is progressing at rapid
rate and when the large numbers of men are cal
led under extension of the draft ages, American
women will in all probability be as generally in in
dustrial vocations their British sisters.

MARRIAGE ALONE
NOT SUFFICIENT

Washington, Aug, 19.--In answer
to letter from Chairman Chamber
lain, of the senate military committee,
asking whether it was true that the
war department proposed to exempt
married men AZ class under the new
man power bill, Secretary Baker to-
day informed the senator that the ex-
isting regulations as to married men
would continue in force. Senator
Chamberlain had written to the Sec
retary saying if it was true that de-
ferred classification for married men
generally was contemplated many
senators would oppose the present
draft age Of 18 years.
"The present situation" Mr.. Baker
replied, with regard to married men
in Class is that four classes Of mar.
ried men are included within the lin.
| It's of that class; first, married men
who do not support their wives OF
families; second, married men whose
wives support themselves; married
| men whose wives have absolute indie
pendent means; fourth, married mer
engaged in useless occupations and
who are not the main or principal sup.
port of their families.
"There is no intention to change
this situation.

with regard to dependency Of wive.
