with some attempt at military cOhe-
sion. The truck work, however, was
more or less of a problem of every
man to drive his own machine.
New System Developed.
When the American army reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation, the shorter dis
tances for ordinary haulS, and the in
tense congestion of the roads, it was
necessary to develop a military pre-
cisiou in handling of trucks, before
that unheard of. The French trans
port was first to develop this pre-
cisiOn, and its vital need was shown
in the British offensive on the Aisne
in 1917, when the enormous number
of over $500 trucks moved an entire
British corps in military formation
into the fighting line. Such Il column
meant nearly 100 miles of length for
the train. And to have this body of
trucks operating properly the strict
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was first sys-
tematiZed on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp johnson,
Fla, near Jacksonville the mother
school of the motor transport corps.
and was soon developed into book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given.
To the commercial truck operator,
however, the work done to train the
drivers in the handling of their vehi-
cles was far more important. Every
man who went into the corps was
given thorough training in the opera
ton of the motor vehicles, and while
the Camp Johnston school was work
ing out truck discipline enormous re-
pair and shop units were in full OPP
GRAFTON in other parts of the country.
Such, for instance at Camp HOlabird,
near Baltimore, and at Atlanta, while
over in the West there were such
units as mt San Antonio. These were
mechanical organizations for repair
work and for shop training

France.

When Uncle Sans armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
comprised a force of roughly 10000
trained drivers of motOrtruckS, cars
aud motorcycles.
OF this great force. only about half
were trained drivers when they en-
listed for the service, so it was neGes-
,nry in order to have this force of
men to train $4,000 men to drive auto
motive vehicles.
The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains and casual mo-
torized units which first went over
seas were composed of trained driv-
ers, as n rule. Those who came after
We're the men who did not know cars
engines, or any of the problems of
driving, particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion of the roads
to the fighting zone in France. The
men who came in the second great
rush of men for the army had there
fore to be trained from the very be-
ginning to know the machine, and
then to know the problems of driving
In formation on military roads.
Big Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
ing of the mechanism of the truck
engine say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training of driving in military forma-
tons of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war is over the prob
lem of teaching the mechanism of the
machine is by far the more important
10 the commercial truck operator. As
to the military formation required in
The army, this can be disposed of
quickly.
On the Mexican border, and with
the Pcrshing expedition into Mexico
the problem of mass operations with
trucks was of minor Importance. The
drivers went forward with some sem
blance of military formation, with
certain distances between trucks, and

TO SILENCE RATTLING RODS
Noise Made is Source of Much Annoy
ance to Occupants of car-Way
to Remedy Trouble.

Where long rods Of small diameter
are used for brake connections, and
so forth, particularly on the smaller
cars, the rattle and chattering they
make is source of constant annoy
anee. There is an easy way, however,
TO put stop 10 these noises. A coil
spring one-half inch TO an inch in
diameter should be firmly attached at
one end to the middle of each rod and
the other end extended under tension
to the frame side member or some 9TH
err convenient point for anchorage. The
tension on these springs will hold the
rods rigid and prevent vibration and
noise.

TO PROPERLY CUT BASKETS
Plan Which Will Be Found Convent
ent for Owners Of Cars-Frayed
Edges Avoided.

Everyone who owns a car has had
difficulty with cutting gaskets. Try
this method the next time: Put the
material-asbeStos, felt, paper. etc
over the hole for which it is being cut.
Take a ball-head hammer and place it
on the material over the hole. Then
tap this first hammer gently with an
other hammer, and the gasket can be
cut without the frayed edges that are
SO annoying.

RULES FOR RADIATORS

The radiator takes so little
care that we are likely to give 1t
even less than it requires. Here
is simple rule which will give
good results:
|. Keep it full, especially with
a thermo-syphOn cooling system.
The less the water, the less the
cooling effect and the worse for
the motor by overheating.
,. Keep it full when using al
cohOl in winter. The smaller the
volume of mixture, the sooner 1t
boils and evapOrates.
3. Keep it full.

KEEP WHEELS IN ALIGNMENT
When Car Has Suffered Bump or
Crash Against Curb Wheels
Should Be Tested at Once.

Whenever the car has suffered
bump Of any kind, crash against the
curb or anything of the sort, the
wheels should Immediately be tested
for alignment as a bang of this kind
is quite enough to force them out of
correct alignment, which will lead TO
excessive wear.

--BUY AT HOME-

Did you ever hear this?-"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Stop and think. If you were in business would you want others to send their money out of Phoenix for the same articles they can get here.
 The Phoenix merchants want you to prosper, just as much as they want to prosper them selves. Their interests are your interests. It is to the mutual benefit of the merchant and the consumer to work together.
 THINK TT OVER AND THEN SHOP AT HOME AND DON'T FORGET TO DO TT EARLY.
Arizona republican., 1919-12-16

Each individual in Phoenix has something to say as to whether the city shall be prosperous or not.
 Every little purchase either makes for or takes from the prosperity of everyone. Stores do better with each additional sale. Many sales make good business Every purchase no matter how insignificant, affects the conditions all along the line. Where do you come in?
 When you withdraw your patronage from the local merchants are you sure you are not pill ing up trouble for yourself.
