and dances. They arrange athletic contests in almost every sport available in this climate. Many of them have their own gynnasiuns for men and women. 4 long time ago, some group, at dance CT outing, selected it's queen. The idea caught on and competitive spirit apparently has done the rest.
 Don't get the idea, though, that these form parade O. bathing beauties in abbreviated attire. T any of the queens I know of ever wore bathing suits, it was because they were going swimming.
 Little Bette Larson (5-foot-2) isn't exactly typical Her not wanting to go to the dance isn't even typical of Miss Larson, be- cause she loves dancing. but she just happened to be worn out with a particularly heavy week and it took lot of urging from friends in the quartermaster corps, where she is a secretary. I doubt if she s very typical in thinking the judges Hele eirher crazy CT had made a mistake when they selected her.

TRAVEL BY BUS
IS ALWAYS SAFE
and DEPENDABLE

What millions of people in the
United States have known for years,
that travel by bus is safe, depend
able and comfortable, was impressed
upon the U. s. Army, Sept. 25th to
20th in the movement of the 18th
Division from Indiantown Gap, Pa,
to Wadesboro, North Carolina. In
moving this division to North Caro-
lima for maneuvers, buses, 70 Of them,
were used for the first time in Army
history to carry troops.
The buses were pressed into service
for this troop movement at the re-
quest Of high ranking army officers
who have been anxious, for the past
several months, to find out if buses
could be made to fit into the mass
movement Of our Army.
Out Of the whole division 2,460 men
were carried in the buses, the remain
ing troops being transported aboard
regular army vehicles. Including the
20 OuScSS LuOIS WS1C HyO6O NCA1CACS
used in transporting the troop with
fun equipment, and cavalry to the
maneuver area.
According to number Of high
ranking officers of the 28th Division
and to one officer assigned as an OBJ
server from the War Department in
Washington for the movement, the
first tests Of buses proved this type
of transportation exceeded by great
length what even its most ,fervent
hackers claimed for it.
One great advantage in using bus
es, Army officers pointed out at the
completion of the trip was that the
entire division was kept together,
that while the division was divided
into three conveys and used parallel
goutes in moving South, never more
than few miles separated the mech
anied units and men. Camps were
made every night, "pu" tents were
pitched, meals prepared for the men,
picket lines set up for the cavalry,
and just about every condition of a

lowed only one hit which accounted
for Ridgley's lone run, the score end
ing 8 to 1. In the second game he held
the Ridgley team scoreless while his
teammates collected z runs.
In addition to the above named bat
terry, those who took part in the dou-
BILE victory Sunday were: Ray Kirby
LIST; Chas. Crowding End; Ralph Kir-
by IS; Johnnie Benjamin Bird. In the
outfield were Tommy Robinson, May
nord Porter, Richard Healey and
Fritz Cornelius with Willard Gozman
and Abbey Groves playing part of
the game. Jesse Hadaway is playing
manager of the team although he did
not play in Sundays games.
Following the game Johnnie Ben
jamin left for Norfolk where he was
called into Naval service.

division movement under actual war
conditions was met.
An average speed of 25 miles per
hour was maintained by each of the
three conveys with one hour out for
lunch and an additional Is minutes
comfort stop every two hours. From
140 to 165 miles were covered each
day with no movement made on Sun
day. In an emergency the distance
covered each day could be more than
doubled.
All three of the conveys of the 18th
Division made the $50 mile journey
with split second precision and despite
the fact that more than 1000 pieces
of motorized equipment were used,
not a maintenance failure was record
ed during the trip. Buses used func-
toned perfectly, according to officers
in charge Of the movement.
An added virtue was found in the
