STUBBY'S HISTORY EPIC OF WARFARE
Story Of Marvellous Dog Takes
 Place in History

The history ot the world var will In the years 10 come, form q part Of the record Of the United States. Down through the coming ages, into time not yet reckoned. there will be stories and tales of valor unfolded, vivid descriptions ot the beginning of the drive at Chateau Thisrry, the smashing of the Hindenburg line. the closing of the St. Mihiel salient or the bloody drive through the Ar gonne Forest All these will form traditions ranking with the best with which this country has ever been bound But, 10 New England folks, whose sons were members of the Yankee Division, New Eng lands Own" there will be one story which will ever be dear 10 those whose memory still holds the picture of the dark days Of 19l7.lS when the youth of this nation was striving 10 uphold the countrys glorious record on the field of battle.
 That story will be the history of "Stubby" tho mascot Of the 1o2nd regiment, 2Gth division, and the only dog to have been taken from this country 10 France with a fighting unit and 10 have been brought home again a veteran Of many campaigns.
 'Stubby" a hrindle bull dog with a stub tail and no pedigree, probably the best known dog in the United States, died in Washington, .. C.. last week shortly after he had been made bona-tide member of Eddy Glover post, American Legion of this city.
 Stray Pup Finds Welcome
 There is romance in the story of Stubby's life; there is pathos in it; here's q history in it al once inter- osting and marvellous. He was but 8 stray pup who chose the silent DOT
 tals of the mammoth Yale bowl in
 New Haven for his home after a
 short period of wanderings, when
 the First and Second Connecticut
 Regiments, (. N G, marched into
 camp at Yale field, later to become

 "Stubby" poked his nose out to see
 what 1t, was all about. J, Robert
 Conroy, . member of Headqparter: ! Company, saw the pup and called tc him. Then and there, "Stuhhy" found @ master who was destined 10 be the means whereby he would later be, come famous.
 "stubby" was nurtured by the boyt in the regiment and soon became used 10 his new quarters. The sanctuary Of the colonel's tent tht forbidden space in the officers quarters, or the squad tents of thu enlisted men were at one and tho same time "Bud1y's" domain. H. : soon became known 10 the Wllol' regiment and never a harsh wort , did he hear from any of it's mem i, bers.

Legion; he was decorated by Gen eral John J, Pershing; he was re- viewed on parade in Boston by Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massa- chusetts; he was reviewed by Vice President Coolidge in Kansas City in 1921 and he was again reviewed by President Coolidge in Omaha last year.
 He vas probably the most decorat. cd dog in the world. 4 cham ois blanket adorned his sides when he appeared in public He went the rounds Of several vaudeville circuits. wearing his medals, iron cross and all, each given him by various high officials for meritorious conduct.

 "Stubby's" quarters were with regimental headquarters, but he also roamcd considerably through the lanes of communication trenches into the support and front line positions. At times, h. would lie down iii front line dug cut with sleeping soldier and no danger would come near any olive drab figure while he was on duty. He was not a -"one man" dog but was evcryonc's friend. Majcr General Clarence Ed wards knew him; Brigadier General Traub knew him and colonels, majors, captains and firat and sec ond lieutenants knew him, but his intimate friends were the mud be- 5pattered doughboys in the front lines, He was q great comfort to many sentry cached in lonely front line post awaiting the attack that vas liable to come at any time. !

from next November 70 October,

1t was said since 1919 the auto

amount is small compared TO the

Manufacturers with an eye to

new arterial roads have been built
at a cost Of $121 100000 1t Is
also largely due 30 the interest
ON the part Of women in England
since the war,
Remembering this distinct
feminine demand manufacturers
should bear in mind that the aver
ace woman driver does not want
a car that needs too much polish
ing or unnecessary cleaning. and
she wants Innings of the most prac-
tical and dust-resisting kind.
There is bound to be an even
higher demand for American autos
next year, when the annual tax on
rated horsepower is removed, and
q simple gasoline tax imposed in
it's place. England then will be
the ideal market for United States
manufacturers TO place their sur
plus production"
Mr.. Preston added that at the
end of last year there were "a, 564,-
574 automobiles in the world, and of
this total there were 21.094.9S4 in
the United States.
"Europe's share at present is
only 2,675,S91" says Preston.

to prevent draining the battery of
its energy the motorist prefers the

The main goal Is 70 harness

to supply a battery with enough

enable it to deliver greater propui'

Automatic Braking
Perhaps the most practical plan
vet devised for utilizing an auto
mobiles momentum Is the auto
matte braking device used OH many
foreign cars The conventional
brake pedal merely sets into oper-
alton the mechanism necessary to
couple the momentum Of the pro-
peller shaft to the brake assembly.
The car stops itself, the driver
merely sort of touching the button
that turns the trick.
If the momentum OF an auto
mobile is sufficient to stop iself, it
also is sufficient to operate in
some way all the engine aces
series that drain it's power.
Who will be the first TO harness
the enormous momentum Of car
that Is descending a hill? Many
are giving it their best thought,
and some startling developments
are in the wind.
When modern engineers and in.
ventors get to thinking in unison
their momentum is something to
reckon with!
