friends recently that automobiles were
selling at ridiculously low figures at
Camp Jesup, the great southeastern
motor transport base, where thOus-

short while. Fords were quoted at
5000 and .Dodges at $3.50, big limou-
sines at $3.50. The rumors became
so current and the demand for good
secondhand cars" so great that the
officials of the camp have been forced
to make public announcement that
there was no sale of cars contemplated
at Camp Jesup and whenever there
should be, army regulations provided
that not less than three competitive
bids should be submitted for each ma
chine and that the price of the high
est bid should be not lower than the
