1t was before Christmas that these

begun in Sunrise. the birthplace of
Governor Lowden. They soon spread
to other villages and towns in that
rather bleak stretch Of country where
the Lowden family made its start.

renzo Lowden came out Of Pennsylva-

was a lively little trading post In the

FROM WAR TO PEACE
IN MOTOR INDUSTRY
Automobile Trade Did More Than
Its Bit to Help Win War.
Fleet Of American Trucks Coming In.
to Use for Additional Transporta.
ton Facilities Needs Services
of Released Soldiers.

AS single industry the automobile
trade did more than its bit to helm win
the war. Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications in quantity
ana quality of delivery, but they built
Detter than 1t was thought they knew
now. Proof of this was given the 9TH
er DAY when, at an auction of old army
cars In France, the French and the
English bid higher prices for the cars
imam they cost the American govern
ment new. An army of men was en-
ployed to run these trucks and cars
on the firing line. They gained more
experience in month of that sort of
work than they could have gained In
lifetime of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service, and are returning in large
numbers to civilian life. There is no
lack of work for them to do. For the
fleet of American trucks now coming
into use for additional Transportation
facilities all over the country needs lust
such men-men who have learned how
to act In any emergency, who feel al
most Immediately the idiosyncrasies of
every motor, who have acquired an eff
cheney under shell fire that will make
them leaders in their work in peace
times.
Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to fhe
secretary of war, who is in charge of
the unemployment work for ex-service
men, announces that number of such
men, are now available for private en-
ploy. The automobile industry will
not lose this opportunity of obtaining
men who, to their pre-war ability, have
added the exceptional training and ex-
perience of months on the firing line.
These men will be in demand, and can
be obtained through governmental and
welfare employment agencies, who will
put them in touch with employers who
need their services.

PIPE MAKERS USING BIRCH
Wood Has Been Found to Be Eminent
Iy Suitable, After Treatment by
a Special Process.

American birch since the war has ac-
quired a South American name. Nova
days 1t is fashioned into pipes and
then called something besides birch
The only evident reason for the
change seems to be the fact that the
process that converts soft birch into
hard pipe was originated in q Latin
American country, according to the
New York Evening Sun.
Brentwood owes its new name and
It's present prominence in the pipe in
dustry to the war, which cut off the
supply of briar and sent the prices
of the stocks in America sky high.
Substitutes have been sought for
the expensive imported briar. The ces-
sation of impOrtations with the war
they haven't been resumed yet-inten-
SITES the search for an American wood
that would provide suitable substi-
tute.
Many native hardwoods were tried
without success. Most Of them were
either too hard to be worked into pipes
or too heavy to rest comfortably be-
tween q smokers lips. Then some
one hit on the expedtent of trying
soft wood and employing process that
would give it the required hardness for
use in pipe manufacturing. Birch was
found the most suitable for the pur-
pose.
