or meritorious service in war is the tribute paid Miss Helen Keinzle and Miss Constance Hanna by Captain R. NJ. Schuler, adjutant of the Ohio National Guard. A story of heroism. fight against odds, an uphill struggle to accomplish salvation among the poverty stricken little groups of frightened women and children is revealed in excerpts from Captain Schuler's report to Adjutant Gen. eral Frank D. Henderson. Pounding over the roads if they may be called roads-of the Hooking Valley in their rattle trap fiivvers, averaging at the best little more than 50 miles day. Miss Hanna and Miss keinzle pursue their duties of aiding in any way those families which they may en- counter.
 Fifty miles on paper; a mere trife, one would say. But 50 miles of Hooking Valley bumps, ruts and mud, is distinctly something else again.
 Tn dry weather, a series of rock studded ruts-in wet weather, hub deep, sticky, clinging muck. That is one of the obstacles presented to these heroines of modern times.
 There is real peril on some of these trails, winding in and out: up and down the steep hills. There 9. slideout on the road would not only ditch the car. but would mean almost certain serious injury to the occupants.
 Into the miserably small shacks which dot the hillsides for miles around, these girls go: into famines and disease fearlessly.
 Entire families suffering from the bangs of hunger. A baby eighteen months old who has never walked for lack of wholesome food. A from malnutrttion, and watching her brood going to the same fate. !"
 Another section of Schuler's re- port revealed the hardships connect ed with getting food and clothing to the stricken families.
 Out to the homes, over roads where pack horses are necessary to transport food and supplies: back to the school center to report case where supplies must be carried: back to headquarters to arrange for a layette for an expectant mother: again to the hillside where the facil- ities are so urgently needed: return to the food center to inform author- ities of q new arrival-is it any won der that when night comes these girls are in the final stages of fa- tigue? Yet, even then their days work may not be done. A night never passes when there are not a few calls to answer after everyone has retired"

CALIFORNIAN HAS
 EDUCATION VIEWS
Advises SupG-Rieh Guild to
 Go SloV

Los Angeles, Cal, March g R- Scientific education has proved that all children are not equally educa- ble.
 A very appreciable group in any community has ability noticeable above that of the rest of the chill dren-ability to go much faster if they have only as much to do as the rest or to do more If they pro- ceed through the grades at the same rate as the rest.
 What shall the schools, fashioned aS they are to handle average groups at an average rate, do to properly care for these super chill dren? Shall they simply refuse to tackle the problem because it is both difficult and expensive?
 The leaders of tomorrow will come from this group. Shall we not do better by them that they may later return the investment an hundredfold?
 Doea this greater opportunity mean that they are to go ahead as fast as they can absorb the regular average course of study? Shall we hurry them along so they may fin- ish the eighth grade of the ele- mentary school at the age of ten or eleven? Do we want them out of high school at l4 or IS to face col lege courses in childhood and bach elor's degrees at an age more ap- propriate to the beginning of col- lege course?
 Many educators believe that such . hurried type of education hasits perils both for the child and/for society. Such young children may easily absorb what books and teach CTS have to offer, but at those points where subjects of a broad general sort are to be taken they gain no real basic understanding of the meaning of the work.
 Furthermore, throughout their courses they will associate with students much older than them selves. Real comradeship seldom develops under such circumstances. They often acquire thus habit of social isolation that may always be & handicap to their greatest useful ness.
 Such pupils, too, have tendency to become academic because they have had time to do little but study books. Often after a brilliant high school and college career in books they disappoint all promise of their school days and are not heard of again.
 What can we do for these chil- dren? Let us induce them to make haste slowly and explore bit broadly. Let them participate in the rich offerings of the schools in art, music and manual activities in shops and laboratories. Induce them to become as human as pos. sibla with breadth of appreciation and outlook that will make real leaders in school and afterwards.

BODY NOISES ARE
ELIMINATED IN NEW
VICTORY SIX BODIES

No builder of the finest custom
bodies could take greater care or de-
wise more effective means to eliminate
all likelihood Of squeaks, rattles and
body noises than have Dodge Broth
ers engineers in designing and de-
veloping the new Victory Six.
The panels of the double wall steel
body are lined with thick felt pads to
insure against any possibility Of
drumming or of sounding board eff
feet when the car travels over uneven
pavements. Beneath the rear floor
carpet, securely cemented to the floor
Is heavy pad of sound-proofing ma
terial and on the under side of the
rubber mat Of the drivers compart-
ment is a similar pad. The body en-
gineers state that over IS per cent of
the entire outside surface of the body
exclusive of the window openings, is
lined with sound-proofing felt. This
felt is effective not only in sound
proofing the body but also as heat in
sulation, making the car warmer in
winter and cooler in summer.
The polished plate glass windows
slide in noiseless runways of felt and
when lowered rest on rubber sup
ports
So accurate are the dies used in the
mammoth presses which form the
double walled steel doors and the door
openings in the bodies that the desir-
ed clearances at the top, bottom and
sides of the doors are maintained
within very close limits. The adjust
able rubber stops against which the
doors strike when closed are of Ii
beral dimensions. The "dove tails"
which serve as guides when the doors
are closed are padded with cushions of
live rubber armored with metal to
protect against wear. There is no
"tinny" sound when Victory door
is slammed.
A careful examination of the car
discloses the beaded edges of the fab
ric strips which are placed between
the front and rear tenders and the

FLIES BY AIR MAIL
FROM CALIFORNIA
TO BUY CHRYSLER

A striking illustration of the time
saving influence of modern inventions
in business transactions was given re-
Gently when the purchase of an auto
mobile was started in California and
completed in Detroit while the buyer
was making four day trip from Los
Angeles to New York, according to
advises just received by Ferdinand
Koski.
The buyer was Fred A. Church, me-
chanical engineer, designer and build
err of amusement devices which attract
throngs to amusement parks in many
American cities. Speed has always
been one of his hobbies. When hurried
calls summoned him from one part
of the country to another in the past,
nothing but extra fare trains and
limiteds measured up to his idea of
rapid travel.
Despite his reliance on fast rail
road schedules, Mr.. Church has been
impressed by the fact that business
associates who babe him goodbye as
he boarded train would frequently
be waiting for him at his destination
in another city. One Of his associates
took him for drive in a Chrysler one
day and he found the answer to this
mystery. Thereupon he made up his
mind that he would have a Chrysler
for himself.
He was in Los Angeles when the
decision was reached. A call on the
Greer Robbins Company, Chrys,er dis
tributors for Southern California, en-
abled him to select the model and body
type he preferred and wire from
the distributors to Detroit assured its
delivery as soon as he could reach the
factory. He had an important appoint
ment in New York on March 18th, but
urgent business prevented his leaving
Los Angeles until Saturday, March
10th. There seemed to be no way of
getting across the continent in time
for his New York appointment, let
alone stopping off in Detroit to take
delivery of a car, but some one sug-
gested the air mail and new concep-
ton of the meaning of speed began
for Mr.. Church. At 5 O'Clock Saturday
morning, March 10th, he boarded the
air mail plane and was
the lone passenger on its east bound
trip.
Even for the speed loving engineer,
the air journey was a revelation. The
plane bucked head wind through the
mountains and across the Mojave de-
sert but Salt Lake City was reached
at half past two that afternoon. By
evening Cheyenne was behind the pi-
lot and his passenger as they streak
ed eastward along their becaon-blaz-
ed trail, and at 1 o'clock Sunday morn
