Y. M. C. A. work Of Oregon, who
spoke to a large audience in the

spent an extended time in the army
camps, and particularly in close
touch with the many Y NJ. c. A. huts
scattered along the war invaded ter
ritories where the American soldiers
we're prominently located.
In the face OF the severe criticism
that has recently been made of the
Red Triangle organization in connec-

diers of France, workers like Mr..
Rhodes, are being sent abroad to re-
fute some of the most serious state
ments and explain others that throws
a different light upon the accusa-

the overseas Y. NJ G. A., and pre-
sented a convincing statement in re-
gard to the movement abroad,
Preceding the address DR.. Tiltona

Upwards of 100 guests and their
entertainers were seated at the

to the appetizing viands set before
them. After the inner man was ap-
peased, the social features pre-empt-

attractive selections.

Military Training is
Endorsed by Soldiers

Overwhelming endorsement of
universal military training system
coupled with equally strong support
of the existing disciplinary relation
ship between officers and men of the
army was expressed by a representa-
tive group of selective service men
of the 18th division, Camp Devens,
Mass, Just before the organization
was demobilized last January.
The opinions of 1880 men, with
an average length of service of 1917
months were obtained thru n care
fully arranged questionnaire system,
with every safeguard provided to in
sure absolutely free expression Of
opinion and with such distribution
in the division as TO make the
answers representative.
The report on the inquiry was
made public this week at the war de-
partment. II is headed.
Our military system as 1t ap-
peared to. Americas citizen SOL
diers."
, Altho half of the men questioned
were rated as dissatisfied with mill
tary life, the report shows that 1915
per cent of the replies expressed the
soldiers belief that he personally
had been benefited by his army life.
70 per cent were glad of their train
ing aside from feelings of patriotism
and SS per cent favored universal
training as national pol
Icy. A substantial majority agreed
that the existing relationship be-
tween officers and men was neces-
sary and disapproved the social mix
Ing OF the rank and file.

Motorizing Hotels
the Latest Thing
Huge Garage Takes Care Of the s00..
600 Cars Which Belong to the
Guests of Five New York Hotels.

'1f five New York hotels entertain
nearly 1900 900 visiting motorists in
tho course OF a year. what ~ the
total volume OF touring turnout the
country" asks Alexander Johnston.
In Motor He proceeds To answer
his own query by saying. "Thc only
answer Is that u IL far in excess az
any figures that the most optimistic
OF Us would have dared to suggest "
The basis OF the story IL the move
recently made by five OF the big
New York hotels. Fillmore. Manhat.
tan. Belmont. Murray hin and the
new Commodore. which have erected
garage for the use OF their
patrons.
In planning this great hotel gar
age, the management OF these five
obstetrics worked on certain definite
data They knew that their houses
entertained about 100000 guests in
the course of year. or these they
figured that nearly 100000 arrived
In motor cars. Figuring that most
OF these were family parties. an av.
erage OF four persons per car was
not excessive. This meant that they
must be prepared to care for upward
OF 100000 cars per annum. a six
story building capable of housing
600 cars was the outcome and this
structure filled daily Is able To ac.
commodate approximately 220. 900
cars In the course OF year.
incidentally, 1t is interesting o
note that "A heavy percentage OF
these big city hotel patrons come
from what may be called the sub
urban area; that is, from within a
RADIUS of so miles of the metropolis.
Also the influx OF motoring visitors
from nearby sections Is heaviest dur.
ing the spring and fail, while long
distance travel is heaviest during
the summer. Both these conditions
are what might be expected"
This new hotel garage represents
the very latest ideas in garage con.
struction ana Il will be interesting 70
almost everyone in the automobile
industry to note the Developments
that the last few years have
brought. For instance, there is nm
up ramp and n down ramp. instead
OF having single runway for cars
going either way. Not only is this
long step forward. but Il reminds
us that lohg ago cars were carried
to the upper floors OF garages by
means OF elevators. The Allen gaso.
