Squier, Chief Signal Officer, con corning the discoveries made by expert aerologists relative the fixed air currents found at high al titudes. These investigations made aid to military aviation. They are certain to prove Of inestmable value to the peaceful future. One of these discoveries is that 10000 feet 95 per cent. of the winds blow from west to east, the velocity in creasing with height At 28 900 feet this reached 154 miles hour If this condition prevails off the coast line of the continent it's value to transatlantic flight will be readily comprehended.

SCHOOL FOR TRUCK
DRIVERS IN ARMY
Enlisted Men Sent to GMC

One OF the motor truck problems
always has been 10 secure competent
drivers for them. Business firms have
had difficulty in getting the right type
OF drivcrs-regardless OF wages-driv-
ers who would give sufficient attention
to the truck to insure a maximum SER
vice.
As result OF the motor trucks work
in the war. Il Is to be hoped that tho
fuure will see n more plentiful supply
OF qualified drivers, whose training has
been under the direction of Uncle Sam.
Certainly there are large number of
men who have learned proper driving.
II they wish to follow It as a peace time
profession.
This is practically true as far as
GMC trucks are concerned. Soon after
tho United States entered the war and
lances OF the army, school for drivers
and mechanics was started at the GMC
factory. under the direction of the
army officers stationed at the plant. To
this school were sent classes of from
twenty to forty enlisted men.
There were regular classes in class
room and practical experience In tho
shops, and on the test cars on the road
for all tho men. AS they were gradu-
ated they were sent to France.
This school was deemed Of the utmost
Importance by the army authorities and
while 1t was in progress the CMC
factory became an army post, operating,
as other army posts with drills and All

Nv men are IN n position to predict

territory Of Nash products.
Mr.. Warren. after leaving his posi-
ton as sales manager of one of the large
automobile manufacturers In the middle
West, came to Sew York as head OF
me New York branch OF large truck
company, and for five years, until the
formation of the corporation of which
lie is now the head he directed the
destiny Of these trucks in this terri
tory.
This means five years of intensive
study Of the truck business In all its
ASPECTS, as well as five years OF keep
.ng the closest Kind of watch on the
Development Of the market.

given IL IN business could possibly have
bee 80 severe as the labor il. was put
10 in The war. And everywhere It proved
TO b. most reliable method of trans
port ton.
eve know that business men with
hauling problems have been watching
the performance of trucks in the war.
They have been gathering data and
studying the application OF them to
their own needs. The entire world Is
now solid on the value of the motor
truck
zone big industry or business after
another has standardized its hauling
equipment with trucks during the last
i've years and none OF them has the
slightest intention of returning to old
methods. The year just beginning will
see thousands OF firms substituting
trucks for horse drawn vehicles, and
here Is hardly chance that the sup.
ply will equal the demand.
"nur dealers are giving special at
IGNITION TO their service departments and
are prepared to assist Nash owners at
all times in solving their transportation
Problems. The fact that we keep a

wholesale quantities here in New York

quickest possible service"

THE unusual interest in the Nash truck line
L evidenced at this time is perhaps heightened
by the knowledge that more trucks, we believe,
were built by the Nash Motors Company during
the for military purposes than were pro-
duced by any other maker.
The Nash Motors Company built nearly thir-
teen thousand Nash trucks for military service.
This preference of the Government for Nash
products is readily understood upon close
inspection of the many superior mechanical
features of Nash truck construction.
For example, owners are quick to appreciate
the automatic locking differential with which
all Nash trucks are equipped. This feature
besides saving fuel and tires, enables Nash
trucks to make surer and safer deliveries with
time out because of weather road conditions
Reasonably prompt deliveries can be made to
immediate buyers.
