Centralize Navy

Efficiency and Lower Operat.
ing Expense Expected
From Change.

The control of all motor equip
ment in the Washington Navy Yard
has been recently located under
one head so as to increase the op-
Grating efficiency and to lower the
total operating cost for all the
navy yards trucks, a feet Of some
eighty vehicles. One of the latest
additions to their equipment is a
one-ton CT electric truck which
has just been added to the electric
section OF the fleet and will be used
on yard work and short hauls.
The navy yard has been using
electric trucks for many years and
experience has shown that service
is better and operating costs are
lower when the work Is divided
between gasoline and electric
truck sections of the feet, the
gasoline trucks taking care of the
high mileage and rush work. and
the electric trucks taking care of
yard work and short runs.
The CT one-ton just purchased
is built with two electric motors
one geared to each rear wheel and
without the usual drive shafts.
differential and worm or bevel
gearing. One truck of this same
make has been in steady service
in the navy yard since 1915.

FREE CAMP SITES
Towns and Cities Provide Camp Grounds For
Motor Tourists.

The number of tourists carrying
camping equipment and making but
minimum use of hotels during
their summer drives seems to be in
creasing yearly. Even parties In
tending to stop at hotels frequently
now carry camping equipment and
enjoy making a camp now and then
when facilities offer. The Lincoln
Highway Association this year re-
ceived an unusually large number
of requests for information as to
the location of specially equipped
camp sites with the result that the
following data has been compiled.
In general, of course. the tourist
can make a camp almost anywhere
between New York and San Fran
cisco without interference from the
owners of property Snd many tour
lists like to make a separate private

open touring cars which carry
tents and other equipment in their

with trailers. make up about per

Economy of Space.
Lessons in economy of space and

from the recent war by these ad-

touring outfits are many articles of
military hardware ingeniously
adapted to the requirements of the
trip and the exigencies of limited

phia, in his sedan. used army lock-

Automotive engineers now are ex-
perimenting on standard outfits for

to be a difficult problem, because

Such a vehicle may be considered
as something between prarie

thusiasts argue. IL 1t is possible for
individuals to design such ingenious
yachts themselves and live and
travel in them for three months at
time, it may be that the automo-
bile industry will yet manufacture
standard camping cars.

infinite wisdom has seen fit to remove
another link from our golden cham,
Sister Harriet +. NJ. Phillips.
1t is fitting that we, her associates,
should pause in our deliberations and pay
tribute of respect to her memory and
gather inspirations from the record OF her
life for the work we have before us. Our
beloved sister has fallen in LIES battle
acknowledged the supremacy OF death'
and entered upon the sleep that knows no
waking. Her star has set on this world
and she has passed into the light that is
beyond the valley of the shadow OF death
AS she in her life exempliiied the vir-
tues of those servants of God, the lovely
characteristics of our order, so surely
shall be her reward.
From our chain a link has fallen,
In the East a Star he's set;
But engraved on memory's tablet
Is a name We'll ne'er forget"
Resolved, That copy of this memorial

HERE AND THERE
Oxford Democrat


April is here and it is a disagreeable
month. 1t seems to have been put in the
calendar simply as cleaning time. Old
Mother Nature cleans off the earth with
showers and like every other kind of
cleaning, when she gets one portion good
and clean she makes dirty spot some
where else; so we always have mud time
associated with shower baths. Srring
madness always crops out in women in
April. They have cleaning spasm then.
All over the house they go, taking things
down from the top shelves and taking
things out of the bottom drawers What a
mess they make when they get them all
piled up in the middle of the floorl Most of
the things found are too good to throw
away so they find a new hole to throw
them in for another year. Some of the
things have been put into new places
every April for no one knows how many
years, SO long that their history has been
forgotten. Some bring up memories
which come to light in the spring of the
year, like concealed crimes at revival
times. Yes, housekeeping time is good
deal like the day of judgment. One real
izes then what one has committed.

TRYING TIMES.

The reconstruction period after the
great war is characterized by what may
be called high pressure days. The de-
mands of business, the wants of the fam
lily, the requirements of society, are more
numerous now than ever before.
The first effect of the praiseworthy eff
fort to keep up with all these things is
commonly seen in weakened or debili
tated condition of the nervous system,
which results in dyspepsia, defective
nutrition of both body and brain, and. in
extreme cases, in complete nervous pros
tyauon.
1t is clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give vigor
and tone to the nerves, and keep the di-
gestive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. Many persons from their
own experience recommend Hoods Sar-
saparilia for this purpose. 1t acts on the
vital organs, builds up the system and fits
men and women for these trying times.
In cases where there is biliousness or
constipation, it is well to take Hoods
Pills. They are thorough cathartic, a
gentle laxative.
