Ognized the Importance of motor truck
transportation, and when the campaign
against Mexico was opened in 1916 the
desirability of limiting the number of
designs became evident.
The United States army bought it's
first one and one-half-ton truck as late
as 1913, and by 1916 it had accumu-
lated experience with but limited
number. In that year Col. @. B. Baker,
then chief of transportation in the
office of the quartermaster general, in
vited the Society of Automotive En-
gineers to send representatives to
Washington to confer with army Off
GERS and representatives of about fifty
truck builders, to cooperate in the pre-
pairing of specifications for standard
one and one-half-ton and three
ton trucks. This conference was held
May s, 1916, and the specifications
were issued in June, 1916. On these
plans trucks were hurriedly purchased
for use against Francisco Villa. This
gave the army the first good chance
to test the usefulness of motor trans
portation under trying conditions as
they existed on the Mexican border,

Shortly after declaration of war on

of the S. A. e. were asked to assist in

FRENCH WOMAN GETS
SHOCK FROM STYLES
OF u. S. SISTERS

PARIS, Sept. 20-Paris has long
had the reputation of producing
shocking styles.
But-according to Nine. Therese
Debussan, French writer just back
from tour Of the United States-the
Parisienne has nothing on the Amer
lean woman when 1t comes to shock
ing" costumes.
The skirt, of course, is always the
barometer by which the degree Of
'shockingness" is judged. And, so
Nine. Debussan says, the long, tight
American skirt, with its prevalent slit,
is much more shocking than the short,
full skirt now the vogue in Paris.
Furthermore, the average American
woman has no conception of the art
OF dress-but let Nine. Debussan tell
all about 1t in her own "Americanese."
Not Such A Frank Revelation.
ut is true that in America the skirts
reach the ankle, but their tightness
forces to open the back or the side,
revealing as much of the leg as the
shorter Paris skirt, and in not so frank
manner. 1t is true that the afternoon
dresses have long sleeves. but many
crepe blouses are SO transparent that
the arms and chest are nicely offered
to anybody's look in the streets. the
tramcars and other public places.
However. 1t must be admitted that
there is an American practice sensi-
bly, differing from ours. 1t is what
you call the ready made OF course,
the American stylish woman who has
lived much in Europe strictly obeys
the French mode DEGREES, but the
ready made industry, although many
times inspired by our models, adapts
and modifies them in accordance to
the wishes Of the home clientele.
"A Strange Little Grip
1.-THE chemise dress, which Is tight
and short and almost without orna-
ment. gives to the slender and supple
Parisienne the charm Of a strange
little girl. 1t could not be worn by
the American woman, who is generally
rather tall, with broad shoulders, large
gesture and decided walk. The con-
sequence is that she lengthens her
skirt because of that-not because
she does not want her legs to be seen.
But she also adds draped movement
while more marking the waist and
bust. And on light dresses she puts
basket-like attires that are not very
pretty. I believe there Is sometimes
as much difference between an Ameri-
can dress and a French as between
a creton fiounced skirt of the Minos
Age and an Athenian tunic four CEN
turtles before the New Testament. 1t
IS easy to choose.
ITO be just let US say that the Amer
lean woman Is often very well dress
ed, and that her tailored dresses are
excellently cut and carefully made.
