town to see first if you want to see a
real old typical French town. Brest
is really old and it shows its age. All
the buildings are made of stone and
look old even when they have not been

The streets were what got my goat.
They are so narrow that two vehlcles
can barely pass and they are so crook

coming back when you start up one.
We went on out to the rest camp
and stayed out there four days. VI
course we slept on the ground in pup
tents, but that wasn't so bad after all.
We knew our country and the folks
back home were behind us so nothing
seemed hard. We had a real big time
out there, but at last our time came,
we moved inland to about the center OF
France. The nearest town of any
size was Mehuon We were bllleted
in little villages all around there and
it was here we took up our work as

FRANCE GIVES AID

The pouring out Of French blood

America. We are indebted to the
French peasants for a perfect remedy
for stomach, liver and intestinal all

ously successful over there, but has
been equally so over here. The in
gradients are imported and put up for
sale in this country by Geo. H. Mayr,
for many years a leading Chicago
chemist, under the name of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy. 1t is simple,

the catarrhal mucus from the intesti-

Dear DAD:
l have been thinking for some time
that probably an outline of my trip
over here would interest you so l will
endeavor to describe it the best l can.
Leaving from Beauregard we went
by way of New Orleans then came
back through Mississippi, passing
through Hattiesburg and Meridian. 1t

first exercise. We pulled little
parade and went through little set
ting up drill for the people. The Red
Cross ladies had sandwiches and ice
cream a plenty for all the boys and
saw to it that they were all served.
We switched on the Great Southern
road then and started for New Port
News. We went through Birming-
ham, Ala, Atlanta, Ga, Greenville, s.
c., Charlotte, N. c., Richmond, Va.
and straight into Newport News.
The scenes through the Carolinas
were great, I had heard you talk about
them so much. It was night while we
passed through most of North Caro-
lima, and the rest Of the boys were
sleeping, but I sat up most of the
time to see the county. the moon wa

FORD STARTER
 OUTPUT LEADS
 ENTIRE WORLD

Henry Ford tested the Ford start ing and lighting system on his own car for one year.
 Ten months ago the Ford Motor company was net manufacturing elec- tric starters; today the output of it's starter department is greater than that of any other manufacturer of electric starting devices in the world. Its nearest competitor makes one thousand a day, whereas the Ford companys output is fast approaching the three thousand mark, two thou already having been manufactured in one day.
 The Ford starter-and generator, for it is really two separate units is not the result of a new idea or of a sudden decision. More than eight years ;tgo Mir Henry Ford S vision saw the need, and his cleo trical engineers were instructed to begin experimenting. After seven years of constant research, which | took into consideration the many diff ferent climates. in which the Ford car is used, together with the fac tors of size and weight and an adaptability to quantity production, twenty-three trial jobs were built. These were tested in many differ ent ways. MT Ford himself used one on his car for a year. Still the engineers continued their expert ments and improvements.
 Then came the order from the government for 15,OO0 three-ton tanks each one of which was to be equip- ped with two synchronized Ford mo- tors. A starter was essential, so the one now being installed on Ford cars was evolved. But, only one starter and generator was used to each tank. January first, 1919, the Ford Motor company began equipping enclosed cars with this new start ing and lighting system. Ford en- gineers say that although the entire system starter and generation - weight only thirty-one pounds, it pro duces a higher torQue output con- stant rotary motion) pound TOT pound than any other system on the mar ket.
 When the department for building the starting and lighting system first began production, fifty hours labor was charged to each unit, but tow that machinery and equipment have been installed, the time per unit is four hours. Two huge armature i'm pregnating ovens have been installed. each with a capacity of 17OO every eight hours. In these ovens the armatures are dried, soaked in var nish and dried again. Eight hours time is required for this one opera tion.
 The power from the starter to the motor is applied through the well kiown Bendix drive, which auto maticaIly engages the starter and then, once the motor is started. the starter immediately disengages. It is equipped with illess bearings and needs practically no attention
 Within another thirty days or six weeks the Ford company expects to be making enough starters so that every Ford car will be equipped with the new electric starting aid lighting system.
