the engineer corps in France draws a vivid picture of the duties of the com bat engineers who played their full part in the fighting from the beginning to the end. It also tells in detail of the building of the railways; the cutting down or French forests to convert them Into barracks for American troops; of the miles of highways built and constantly rebuilt as shell fire tore them to peceS3 of cement mills taken over in France by American troops to provide trench ma terials; of the great map printing plant where the engineers finally were able to produce not only all maps needed fer the American army, but even supplied the French seventh and eighth army with base maps for their fronts. In this huge plant at Langres in November over 900 900 lithographic prints were made and over a million sheets of type work done There is told also the story of camouflage factory at Dijon where ma- terial to blind enemy airplanes' eyes and to confuse the enemy's pickets was turned out in vast quantities.
 Utilizing and applying the new knowl- edge and scientific achievements of re- cent years,' the report says in concluding that portion devoted to the engineers, drawing up the fund of experience ac- quired by the regular army in its the- oretical studies and past wars, making available the vast amount of technical skill which has assisted this nation to
 it's present commercial and industries status, the engineers of the United States army worked and fought, planned and accomplished in France work which in magnitude exceeds any similar under taking recorded in American history. From base port to first waves of an as sault upon the enemy's positions engineer troops have been constantly in action first to last and have carried on always with the high ideals of the profession and with the motto of the corps of en- gineers' Essayons' before them.'

Today there is one safety razor that
gives you fresh, keen edge for every
shave. With the AutoStrop Razor you
will get 500 cool, clean shaves from every
dozen blades-an average Of ~ satisfying
shaves from each blade
Like haviMg a Ne1v blade for
every shaue
Built. right into the frame Of the
AutoSrop Razor is remarkably simple
self-stropping device which keeps the
blade keen-edged as when w-day after
day. It smooths tho tiny teeth Of the blade
into perfect alignment, and gives you a
freshly sharpened blade in few seconds
- without taking the razor apart or
removing the blade.
All the comfort of fresh blade every
day-thats what the AutoSrop Razor
means for you'll It ends all the many
shaving troubles due to dulled or dulling
blades-'pull," aftersmart, tender spots
on the face. Morning after morning it
gives you smooth, comfortable shave
with keen, freshly stropped edge.

10 shaves from epe,y dozen blades?

The AutoStrop Razor is the only safety
razor that sharpens itself, shaves, and
cleans without removing singlepart. A
touch of the thumb adjusts the blade for
close, medium, or light shaving
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-11-19

TOW many satisfying shaves do yo~
get from one razor blade before it
= begins to pull and scrape7
On the first day, when the blade is
fresh, your shave is smooth and cool
But very soon your beard begins to dull
the edge Soon the pulling and scraping
become unbearable. You throw the old
blade away = slip new blade in your
razor and begin the same round again..
The real reason that blades
grow dull
Under a microscope. razor edge is
seen to consist Of hundreds Of tiny teeth.
When these teeth are in alignment, the
blade is sharp. But the very first shave
with new blade bends these teeth out
) Of alignment. and the blade begins to lose
its edge.
With most safety razors, there is>no
way to smooth the delicate teeth back
into alignment The original smooth, fine
edge Of the blade grows rougher with,
every shave.

ROCK ISLANDS
DRIVE SUCCESS
City Goes Over the Goal Set in the
Recent Used Clothing Drive by
800 Pounds.
MARK Is SET AT FOUR TONS
Much Winter Apparel Is Included
In Garments Collected by the
Red Cross.

Rock Island went 900 pounds
over its assigned quota in the Red
Cross used clothing drive, accord
ing to announcement made by
Chairman NJ. C. Rice today.
Rock Islands assignment was
four tons-S,O00 pounds. The
chapter announced, however. that
five tons would be the goal. The
final weighing of the goods for
shipping showed that $500 pounds
of clothing had been donated, or
IL per cent more than the mini
mum quota.
Among the garments shipped
were hundreds of heavy overcoats.
women's coats and mems and
women's suits. There were dozens
of suits of wooden underwear.
There were new shoes and old
shoes with heavy soles, and old
shoes fit only for patching those
less worn. There are mems fan
mel shirts and mems summer
shirts, and women's dresses of
wool and of cotton. There were
dozens of soft hats and caps, and
wool socks. There was a heavy
blanket bath robe that would
make at least two warm baby
blankets. There were boys trous-
ers and shirts and girls dresses
and a few baby clothes, tiny
dresses, and sacks and shoes and
stockings and shirts.
Gives Dolls Blanket.
One generous little contributor
made over the wool blanket be-
longing to her dolls bed into
warm dress for a less fortunate
tot overseas and this, too, was
shipped.
Nearly every donor showed the
best of judgment were a
few stiff hats and ballroom Slip
pers but no flimsy evening dresses,
lace waists and other similarly
useless articles which have made
their appearance on previous
drives. Every article packed in
the $50 burlap bags now bound for
