arranged by the corporals, with Mrs. J. Whit Kelley in charge, was a work of art, setting forth in tableau, the many kinds of service in which the corps was engaged and was pronounced the most successful display in the city. The financial campaign for the Red Star society, consisting of parade. tag day, and ball. was given invaluable assist ance. War Savings Stamp drives were also assisted generously.
 The greatest work done by the motor corps has been to assist in the education of hundreds of soldiers al Camp Sheri- dar-greatest because of heroic service given and greatest because of the far reaching results. Two thousand men to wl.Cm the opportunity of learning to read and write in earlier life had been de- ned, or whom being foreign born could not understand the language of their aGopted country, were thus reached. The happiness expressed in their faces at be ing able to write to the folks back home and the pride with which they displayed ti.eir certificates of graduation were sui fiCient evidence that the service was well worth while. Not only did the motor corps furnish transportation for S2o0 teachers, but many motor drivers assist ed in the teaching. As many as 80 teach CTS a day were carried back and forth, tke first trip being made at 6;50 o'clock in the morning. This work was carried on with such precision and conscientious regard for the obligation assumed, that ever military men marvelled Too much credit cannot be given the captain Of the corps for her untiring efforts to make the service perfect, never failing herself and impressng on each member the fact that she must not fail. Es- poeially noteworthy is the wonderful work of Mrs. !. D. Roquemore, who every morning for six months took the 6:30 trip, as motor driver and remained to teach a class. War camp community secretary, W. I. E!~as. states that this
 is the only motor corps in the United States that has rendered such valuable patriotic service of this nature and he has proclaimed the fact far and wide. Iii appreciation of this unusual service a. letter was addressed to each mem ber of the corps by the department Of |eGucaton at Camp Sheridan.
 One fact for which the corps is de- vtutly thankful is that there are no serl- ous accidents to record. On several oc e sons, however. only rare presence Of mind and sllilful management of their cars saved motor drivers from serious injury as the result of reckless driving o others In this connection the names worthy of mention are: Mrs. Sidney Levy, Mrs. Nose McLemore, Mrs J. D. Roouemore Mrs. Fred s. Ball and Mrs Nose Scheuer. The class in motor me cbanics conducted by MT. Oscar Norman as a patriotic gift to the motor corps gave those attending such a knowledge of their cars as to render them more skllful in driving and to this fact Is due in no small measure, this remarkable record
 A unique feature of the recent inaugural pa rad de-the like of which will never be se eu again-was the prominent part talk en by the motor corps. With their auto. mobiles beautifully decorated, 40 mem | bers of the corps in natty motor suits | of khaki drove in the parade, having as their guests distinguished officials Of | state and city. Upon arriving capitol guests and hostesses occupied places re- served for them on the platform where l they witnessed the interesting ceremony with which Gov Thomas E.
