way TO HEALTH
TOLD STUDENTS
BY BOSTON man
Or. Richard Hogner Says Thin
Men Have Il All Over Fat
Ones % Regards Health.

Dr.. Richard Hogner Of Boston
delivered . most interesting lectute
on general health and longevity at
the Augustana college library audi
forum yesterday afternoon. DR..
Hogner's address was in Swedish.
He 10 . well known Boston doctor
and though IS years Of age appears
much younger.
Doctor Hogner Is himself vege-
tartan. and advocates the elimina-
ton Of meat from ones diet rs
much as possible. He is also an
ardent fresh air advocate. and says
that the more time one can spend
in the open, the better his health
will be.
He recommends that persons ca:
less food, az overeating Is the
cause Of much. II not all, stomach
trouble. Tobacco and intoxicating
liquors Of all kinds are also stricE-
en- from the list by DR.. Hogner. He
also regards coffee as q poison.
In direct contradiction to great
many authorities he asserts that
water is harmful II drank to too
large an extent.
Thin Ones Healthy.
DR.. Hogner made another inter-
esting point that was q source Of
comfort to some Of his audience
when he stated that thin people are
the wost healthy. THE scales OF
weight In accordance to your
height are all too high. At least
all that ! have ever seen have been.
A thin man enjoys better health,
and IL stronger physically in every
respect than q fat man. I have re-
duced my weight from 100 to 100
pounds, and ! feel much better
for it."
Another measure that the doctor
recommends Is q back to nature
movement. "Inasmuch as the body
breathes through the skin as well
as through the nose," said he, "the
more time that one can spend
naked. the better will be his physi.
cal condition.
II consider bran, with sugar and
cream fine diet"

Turning Out Skilled Mechanics at c

Inquiring for the adjutant, l found
myself face to face with Maj. ]. Van
Ness Ingram, who, upon learning the
motive for visiting the school, ushered
me at once into Col. Hawes' office.
Col. Halves is not the story-book
ideal of a soldier. He is not six feet
four in height, being considerably
under that range. but what he lacks
in stature he makes up in vitality
Probably no greater tribute could be
paid him than that given by one of
the men. This soldier, now on his
second enlistment, said: 1.-The old
man." using the pet Army phrase for
commanding officer, "is SO full of
pep himself that we have to keep
up on our toes all the time to come
anywhere near keeping up with him,
and. as he's square guy, we like to
put one over him by working even
harder than the schedule calls for"
These personal remarks concerning
the personalities of the officers in
charge are not written for the pur-

word semi echanic is used adyised-
ly, because the graduates of Camp
Holabird are considered experts onfS
when they finish the eEtire course. In
civil life 1t is too often a fact that
those who call themselves expert me-
chanics are in reality only monkey
wrench mechanics" as many thou
sands of automobilists can testify.
The military mechanic is drilled in
the rules Of the road under any and
all conditions. He is given problems
to solve that usually do not occur in
the ordinary automobiGst's lifetime.
But as Col. Halves aptly put it: If
unusual conditions do occur, our men
will know how to meet them"
The next department is that devoted
to the course of the auto mechanic
and here again motorists will give
vent to despairing sigh as they re-
call the many bungling jobs of which
they have been made the victims
while touring. Here again the

cured from the lectures delivered by
the instructors are kept with each SUBJ

these are his property, so that he has

this department men are familiarized
with different knots and the uses of
cordage so that when 1t is necessary
the soldier may erect with ease and
dispatch hangers and other structures
devoted to housing. Next to this is
the blacksmithing and spring making

point out that there are today some
officers in the Army who not only
secure the confidence of their men,
but who also have. the interest of the
body polite at heart and are conse-
Grating their lives to the building up
of the, youth of the nation.
During the course of our journey
through the school / asked Col.
Hawes: "Well, how do you like this
sort of work-being a pedagogue?"
The colonel stopped, hesitated a mo-
ment and then said: Speaking from
the standpoint of an Army officer. I
want to have these men well equipped
mentally and physically and in every
other way possible, for the good of
the service and because If this coun-
try should become involved in war
we will need these men and need
them badly; but I also want to give
each man as complete and thorough
an education as it is possible for him
to receive, so that when he goes back
into civil life the world will be bet
ter because of his training and he
himself will be able to command bet
ter wages and give better service
to his fellow man. And, while there
may be more desirable posts for an
Army officer to keep, yet If I can ac-
complish the results l have Just mem
toned I am willing to stick here for
the rest Of my days"

The school at Camp Holabir is
technically divided into four classes,
the first of which may be likened to
the freshman c.ass at college. 1t
thoroughly trains chauffeurs. and men
entering 1t are taught how to prop
erly handle automobiles trucks, etc.
These men are first sent out with an
experienced driver, who teaches them
how to properly handle a machine un-
der all conditions. They are shown
how to conserve the energy of their
motor. how to locate and make minor
repairs such as occur frequently on
the road. The student is taught to
safeguard both the vehicle and load.
He is instructed as to the details of
careful inspection Of both and is
taught how to differentiate between
conditions which cause complete stop
page and those which merely call for
temporary repairs He Is taught not
only how to drive his machine by
day, but also by night. Before he
completes his course, which has a
duration Of eight weeks he has be-
come familiar with the chassis and
all its parts, the ignition system or
systems, If the latter be dual, and the
method of carburetion.
The next department is the school of
military chauffeurs, and when the
soldier has completed this course he
Is practically semi mechanic. The

that he can even become a practical

this department includes:

1t would be we'll. perhaps, to briefly
describe the different departments
visited with Col. Hawes. The first de-
partment, the same being adjacent to
headquarters. was the section devoted
to that very important problem-weld-
ing. In this section the men worked
on problems prepared for them by
competent instructors. In the we'll ap-
pointed classroom where they met
preparatory to going to the workroom
were blackboards, blue prints. etc.
There each problem was given to the
student and a practical demonstration

handy man are remembered. But
when the soldier from Holabird An
ishes his course in the third depart
ment he is simon pure auto -mechan-
ic. one capable of overhauling and
repairing any standard type of auto
mobile or truck. He is thoroughly ia
miiiar with types of machines, sys-
TENS of ignition, the makes and func-
tioning of carburetors. battery re-
pairing. welding, spring making. -.
blacksmithing. radiator and sheet
metal work. tire repairing, wood
work. trimming, painting. etc. Also,
he is competent in the art of ware
housing and the issuance of parts.
He has also become familiar with that
growing and important part of the
automotive industry, i.e.. salvaging.
The fourth course prepares the stu
dent for the position of inspector or
foreman, and when he has completed
this period Of study he is capable of
surveying cars and trucks that have
been sent in for repairs. He Is able to
determine the kind of and extent of
repair that is necessary, and by rea-
different courses he is capable of
giving intelligent instruction to the
men under him.
1t was stated earlier in this article
that there We're four divisions of
study. There really are five. and the
fifth may be classed as a post-grad-
uate course. 1t is one that gives to
the world most valuable asset.
namely. the automotive engineer. For,
as the matter of transportation be-
comes more important each year. the
demand for automotive engineers in
creases, and who knows but that some
of these Army trained men may, in
the very near future, occupy positions
of distinction in the automotive
world? And in suggesting that the fu-
ture will see graduates of this school
keeping important positions in the
industrial world. it may be well to
cite two instances which have already
occurred Two soldiers who in civil
life were earning before they entered
the service, SIS and $40 week, re-
spectively, after completing the
course in welding accepted positions
with a large industrial concern at
$1,S00 a year for the first year with
promise of $4,000 for the next. with
subsequent raises as they further
demonstrated their ability. These
men were not looked upon by the
instructors in this branch of the
work as being rare exceptions, being
average students.

Shortly after the Motor Transport
Corps came into being. Gen.. Charles
b. Drake. Col. James w. Furlow. Col.
w. d. Chitty and Col. George P.
Halves conceived the idea that a prac-
tical school Of instruction would be
OF incstimable benefit. both to the
service and to the individual, and, even
while the stress of war was on. these
officers did not lose sight of the fact
that practical training would be of
benefit not only during the days of
conflict. but also in the days after
peace had been declared. Four or
1iye schools of instruction have been
established in different parts of the
United States. but probably the most
advanced Of any is that Camp Hol-
abird. situated Just within the bound
aries Of Baltimore.
Having learned of the starting of
the school at Holabird, the writer ask
ed Gen. Drake If it would be possible
! to secure an account Of the work be-
ing done along educational lines at
the school. The general said that he
would be glad to have representa-
tive of the press visit the camp at any
time. but preferred that no announce
mept be made of the proposed visit,
as the. school was always ready for
inspection. The other day the writer
made known to Col. Hawes his desire
to make complete and thorough sur
vey of the school and it's activities so
that the people of the country might

( done by the Motor Transport Corps
