Ihe new Series 19 Studebaker Cars have improved motors, inter- mediately located transmission, new axles, bodies, tops, windshields, hoods, fenders—in fact, they are new throughout. Before finally approving these new cars for production, original models of each car were driven 40,000 miles under the severest condi- tions, through the mountains and over the country roads of the United States and Canada, and finally over the Chicago Speedway—with scarcely any evidence of depreciation at the finish. Studebaker Cars are built complete in Studebaker factories, eliminating the “assembler’s profits’’— with a consequent saving of from 20% to 30% to the purchaser. Studebaker factories occupy 168 acres, contain 4,704,118 square feet of floor space and representa total investmentof over $15,000,000. Studebaker quality, dominant for 66 years, is reflected in these cars.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Every United States Tire must pass many searching inspections before it goes forth to you. At every stage of production keen-eyed inspectors are watching. No slightest imperfection can pass. Every tire that goes through must bea thoroughbred, —a perfectly balanced production, sound in every respect and able to maintain the supreme service that distinguishes United States Tires. This rigid system has helped us to accomplish large-scale production of good tires, —to lower mileage costs, —and to make tire dependability a reality. Buy United States Tires and get the merit and stamina insured by our gauntlet of inspection, —the unfailing dependability that has brought tre- mendous increases in the sales of United States Tires during the past twelve months. 1/so Tires for Motor Trucks, Motorcycles, Bicycles and Aéroplanes United States Tubes and Tire Accessories Ha il ¢t rling H Hear that Make United States Tires Supreme “PETER IRL i eS ed ie:

But the fact that there is really a dearth of candidates in the Democratic Party doesn’t mean that the shortage extends to the Republican Party. Reputations sometimes made by the minority, who >and fin ~ fault, than by members of the majority party, who not only are vested with the anenuiblliiey but are always on the defensive War, however, imposes a joint responsi- bility on political parties which makes things somewhat different. And inside the executive branch of the Government are Republicans actually discharging important functions. Take, for instance, Herbert Hoover, food administrator, whom many Democrats think must be looking hope- fully toward 1920 for the Republican nomination, being of the type that might commend itself to big business. He knows something of war problems from first-hand experience, is a splendid executive, an indefatigable worker and a man of large business affairs. He is rather blunt and direct in his ways and quick of decision, regardless of the consequences to himself. Had he possessed qualities of political flexi- bility he might not have struck out right and left, unmindful of farmer vote or baker vote or any other kind of vote. He has a large organization in the Food Administra- tion which reaches into every state, county, city and town which politically saturated Democrats think could make a nice little are easier criticize nucleus after the war. But politics has never drafted men like Hoover before. His job means an accumulation of political antagonisms. And whether they will be- cloud his record when his work is done gives him no visible concern. Wherein he proves his wisdom. There is another Californian, Hiram Johnson by name, at whom Washington £ never glances except with the thought that 1920 will see — a big factor in the contest for the Republican nomination. He is like unto an army in reserve— his greatest work is yet to be done. Senator Johnson is radical—-and a bit impatient with the le isurely ways in which the Senate conducts itself For a new member he has been decidedly active He has lost few oppor tunities to say emphatic sayings on the ‘fits tax and kindred doctrines. a practical politician and an astute fearless. And he makes ve speech. Washington hasn't i “aha et Sen: excess-pr He is courageous and a very effecti had any real a whether ator ake as good an executive an advocate Certainly he can re record in California to help doubts on that question. one, to make Johnson as he has been 1 up its would him answer Waat of the Colonel Nominations, however, do not always depend upon such meticulous examinatior of a man’s abilities. They depend mostly on the personal appeal of the ates be candi- date the party organizations. Some scars no doubt have been left by the Hughes- Johnson mix-up in California in 1916, but considerable respect, too, was acquired on the same occasion for Mr. Johnson’s power in the progressive West. Senator Johnson is outspokenly and pro- nouncedly in favor of government owner- ship of railways, for instance; which will mean that he will fight for the same in the party platform of 1920. It may incide ~ tally have something to do with whether he wins the nomination, for much will depend on whether the Re spub lican Party will embrace that Certainly if William Gibbs McA the candidate of the Democrats and makes government reten- tion of the roads an issue, Mr. Johnson's views will become quite pertinent in the Republican National Convention issue, aoo 18 ana conceivably he might be jected according to whether the convention thought the public wanted the railroads to go back to private owners or stay in the hands of Uncle Samuel. But there’s still another factor that af- accepted or re- fects Senator Johnson's chances—as well perhaps as the chances of anybody else an ks the Republican nomination. That factor is the redoubtable Colonel himself. Which brings us to a consideration of what our former President has been and is doing in the war. His offer to fight in France was politely declined by the Democratie Ad- ministration, and The Colonel thereupon turned to the leadership of an army of critics at home. His criticism, he avows, is to make the Administration efficient and help win the war. If when 1920 comes round the war isn’t over and the Colonel hasn’t succeeded in making the Democratic Administration efficient he may be com- pelled to announce that the country’s only salvation would be the election of a Repub- lican like himself. Of the personal appeal of The Colonel there is no doubt in the minds of the party managers. He typifies, embodies and ex- presses militant Republicanism. He has the all-important “following’’ needed as a nucleus of political strength in ~ cam- paign for the nomination, and if he good health when convention And arrives he will be in the fight. But what is much more to the point, if the Democrats insist on nominating President Wilson for a third term The Colonel will feel no compunction about running for a third term himself. For what difference would there be, tra- ditionally speaking, between Mr. Wilson’s eight years in the presidency and Mr. Roosevelt’s seven? Not enough to make a fuss over. Indeed, The Colonel’s candidacy, the Democrats figure it, might make it easier for them to insist on a third consecu- tive term for the President. That’s the way the land lies to-day. Is In Possible ‘‘Men on Horseback’’ But in war changes come quickly. And not a politician but wonders what celebrity the battlefields in France may produce. The American people are a nation of hero worshipers. Every war has brought forth its President. George Washington was a product of the Revolutionary War; Wil- liam Henry Harrison and Andrew Jackson, of the War of 1812; Zachary Taylor, of the Mexican War; Grant, Hayes and Garfield, of the Civil War; and Roosevelt, of the Spanish-American War. The road to the White House has been open to privates as well as generals who have won fame on the battlefield. Military heroes may easily overshadow civilian candidates But there will be this difference in 1420: Our economic problems will be tremen- dously complex and staggering. Though anxious to reward the hero the people could not be counted upon to permit an inexperi enced administrator to make a fizzle of af- fairs at home, where the “sober kind of judgment will be required in reconstruction days. For it must not be forgotten that the American people will have invested heavily in the war and economic readjustments are going to appeal to a larger part of the elec- torate than ever before in our history. The 1920 election will mean something specific in the lives of the men, women and chil- dren of the country—-at least both parties will not fail to impress upon the people the importance of their respective pl: aidan in perhaps not the same superficial“way that “sound money” caught the popular im- agination in ’96 or the‘ - dinner pail”’ in later days, but with a specific appeal emphasizing freedom of annaeniia to the individual. Something of the radical change in our political alignment which may be expected is outlined by President Wilson himself in a rather significant letter addressed recently to a dinner of New Jersey Democrats. The President’s own view of the situation— and unquestionably he meant 1918 as well as 1920— is thus expressed: “Every sign of these days of war and revolutionary change, when economic and social forces are being released upon the world whose effect no political seer dare venture to conjecture, bids us search our hearts through and through and make them ready for the birth of a new day, a day we hope and believe of greater oppor- tunity and greater prosperity for the average mass of struggling men and women, and of greater safety and opportunity for childrer The old party slogans have Jost THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Equiprins THE BIG MAJORITY has given Baker-Vawter Company by ten times the greatest fund of MACHINE BOOKKEEPING experience to utilize upon your installation. ) aa DY We5,J WS LEVES SME Wests “We are glad indeed of the opportunity to express our approval of the satisfaction that the Baker-Vawter Heed THE BIG MAJORITY.

i R2F_S 2) ‘om THE SATURDAY EVENING POST “Hoover-ize” your their significance and will mean nothing to the voter of the future, for the war is certain to change the mind of Europe as well as the mind of America. “Men everywhere are searching demo- cratic principles to their hearts in order to determine their soundness, their sincerity, their adaptability to the real needs of their life, pom every man with any vision must see that the real test of justice and right action is presently to come as it never came before.

They are already organized, ostensibly for the congressional elections of this year, but in reality they have 1920 in mind. They have opened headquarters and keep almost as active as if the campaign were already begun. Neither sends out purely party stuff of the old kind. They vie with each other in distributing pamphlets, speeches and statements, however, describing the war service of their respective leaders.

This isa high test. It can be met only by those who have genuine sympathy with the mass of men and real insight into their needs and opportunities and a pur- pose which is purged alike of selfish and of partisan intention. The party which rises to this test will receive the support of the people, because it deserves it.’ Some Vital Issue Conceivably lower taxation, and mayhap economy in government, will become vital issues if the war is over in 1920. Certainly, if the war were not in progress to-day, when the patriotism of the country is behind any income-tax law no matter how crudely | drawn, it would make Democratic leaders uncomfortable even to think what would happen to them if they went to the country with the present revenue law as part of their record; or perhaps some other half- baked pieces of legislation that could be enumerated along with the aforesaid marvel of legislative confusion. So if anything is certain at all in our politics it is that the election of 1920 will be a real election with real issues, not the most important of which is likely to be that product demanded by the war but hitherto unknown to government —efliciency. True enough it may be that America is drifting into many socialistic practices in the way of Federal regulation; but in proportion as the grant of authority and power to the Federal Government is increased so will there be a correspondingly intense and widespread demand for proved ability before an executive of the national adminis- tration is selected to exercise that same authority and power. No matter how radical or how romantic the candidate is, he will have to have something practical to offer on which the public can form a pene- trating judgment. General Grant was a great soldier but a poor executive. Theo- dore Roosevelt came out of the Spanish- American War a military idol, but he had been assistant secretary of the navy be- fore he enlisted, and by his term after the war as governor of New York he gave practical demonstration of his executive capacity. So, though the traditional “man on horseback”’ is always a possibility the lead- érs of both parties feel fairly sure that he is not a probability. Certainly the Demo- crats are not counting on such a type of candidate— not only because they have as- pirants at home who have had just the kind of executive experience with which a telling appeal might be made but because most of the high officers in the United States Army are of Republican inclination. But the war overseas is not the only fight- ing that may bring out a new candidate. The war in Congress, especially should the Republican Party get control of the House next fall, may offer opportunities for leadership to men now unknown to fame. Emergencies and big issues bring out big personalities. And a Republican House and a Democratic Senate would probably bring controversies enough to start the 1920 presidential contest two years ahead of time, just as the upheaval in Congress in 1910 started the ball rolling for 1912 and contributed Champ Clark and Oscar ent more completely organized than it ever has been before. Societies and councils and associations, governmental and quasi- governmental, reach into every state, county, city and town. Many were ap- pointed by the governors of the states, a few of whom selected Republicans or Dem- ocrats according to their own political pre dilections and with an eye to the value of those men in future campaigns. Both parties have cases of this sort. The political instinct was too strong to permit of any-: thing else. And because of the same political viewpoint, Republican local leaders do not hesitate every now and then to voice their suspicions about Federal appointments that have been made necessary by the war, but which embrace city and county or ganizations of potential value in a political campaign. So do returning Democrats bring back gossip of war-service organiza tions of Republican stripe about which they have become apprehensive. Never before were there so many units of strength that could be converted to political uses with the turn of a hand. Rewards for the Faithful That is what imposes at this time such a big responsibility on the men at the top. The helpful stimulus of ambition has de veloped many an official into a good public servant. Somehow to aspire openly to rule the nation, if not in 1920, then in 1924 or 1928, is looked on quite generally as an impropriety. Silence is, in such circum stances, the greatest of political virtues And while the candidates or would be candidates or candidates-under-certait circumstances may deny persistently and incessantly that they ever had the slightest thought of 1920 they cannot always control the eagerness of their subordinates and friends to get in on the ground floor of a presidential candidacy. From these staffs, who in sO many cases are intrusted with power over local organizations, comes most of the activity for their esteemed chief tains—and much of the jealousy too. Out of the present war unquestionably will come many heroes for worship, men who will have earned distinction ~ praise at the Front as well as behind the lines. It is in the American nature to recognize and reward merit. And pursuit of the crown seen in the light of a stimulated interest in one’s job and the achievement of the public good never will be condemned. Revealed as an overzealous reaching for power, it is bound in these times to prove disquieting. In war or peace nobody, to paraphrase Lincoln, has ever succeeded in putting anything over on the American people—for any length of time. Service at Washington, in the state cap- itals, in the counties, cities and towns, where hundreds of executive officials are dealing with problems of the war, can quite naturally be held up to view in forthcoming elections as deserving of recognition. The party organizations not only are intact but are being strengthened, notwithstanding the war. England and France have both been unable to do away entirely with pol- ities. America seems no exception. But the people always have their eyes and ears open, and the candidates everywhere, high and low, would be well advised not to let ambition mar their useful toil!

THE SATURDAY HOME RULE IN INDIA (Continued from Page 22 would go to pieces if British government were to withdraw,” and they have no wish to exchange British sovereignty for German, or to see the country plunged back into the chaos from which it has but recently and with such infinite laborings eme rged. India has an area of 1,802,657 square miles and a population of about three hun- dred and twenty millions—somewhat plus. The territory under the British crown is 1,093,074 square miles, while dotting the map here and there throughout the penin- sula are states under the sovereignty of a prine es which comprise an area of 709,583 square miles. The population un- der Indi: in rulers is approximately seventy millions, the remainder of the three hundred and tw nty-odd millions being British subje cts These are colossal facts, and they should be borne in mind in all their immensity by anyone who wishes to get a vision of what a real political upheaval in India might mean. In comparison with it the Russian revolution would be as the gambol of lambs on an April greensward. Look at it through the big end of your field glasses and you may be able to get a perspective and an idea of what England would be up against in case the situation ever got out of hand. The bulk of the Indian population, some two hundred and eighteen millions, is Hindu—the cult upon which Mrs. Besant has hinged so many admirable adaptations and ‘‘theosophistries,”” as they are deri- sively called by the unbelievers; and the number of Hindu deities and objects of worship is legion. The Mohammedan re- ligion comes next, with about sixty-seven million adherents; after which, in the order of their numerical strength, come Bud- dhists, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis and Jews. There are numerous minor faiths which claim many thousands of followers, while about eleven millions of the people are pure animists. And ‘“‘what the ani- mist worships and seeks by all means to influence and conciliate is the shifting and shadowy company of unknown powers or influences . which resides in the pri- meval forest, in the crumbling hills, in the rushing river, in the spreading tree; which gives its spring to the tiger, its venom to the snake; which generates jungle fever and walks abroad in the terrible guise of cholera, smallpox or murrain.” In the life of the Indian people religion is the dominating influence always. The population is as heterogeneous as the pop- ulation of Europe, and languages innumer- able are spoken, but throughout the empire men are given sectarian and never racial designation. Traveling from one province to another in India is very like traveling from one country to another in Europe. One observes a sharp demarcation in many things. There are dissimilarities in the physical characteristics of the people; in language, manner, dress—everything; but nowhere does one encounter a distinguishing race name. Men are merely Hindus or Moham- medans or whatever they may happen to be in point of religious faith. The Complexities of Caste It is as though in traveling through Europe—from Spain to France, to Switzer- land, on down into Italy—the question ‘“‘What are you?” should oar be an- swered: “I am a Methodist,” or “I am a Unitarian.” This is inconceiv able, but it is a far-fetched comparison only because each of the main religions of India is distinct in its fundamental tenets, whereas Europe is Christian and is divided only on points of interpretation and observance. The peo- ples of India are bound, swathed, smothered and hopelessly divided by a multiplicity of wholly unrelated re ligior is. Then comes caste. Caste is often referred to as a comparatively modern institution, and considering the illimitable antiquity of India perhaps it is. The word is not Hindu at all and has no exact equivalent in any Indian language. It was first used by the Portuguese and was applied by them to a system which they found flour- ishing in the country in the fifteenth cen- tury. How long caste as a principle has been in operation in India nobody knows, but it was fastened upon the people in defi- nite form about the third century of the Christian era through the promulgation of a social code, known as the code of Manu, which divided the Hindus into four distinct classes and fixed the status of each class by means of exact and minutely detailed rules of social contact and ceremonial. First in order of rank came the Brah- mans, or priests, who themselves formu- lated the code for the purpose of maintain- ing their supremacy and of establishing a permanent hold upon the people. They decreed that next to Brahmans stood the warriors; after whom came tillers of the soil and traders. The fourth class, originally the conquered aboriginal and non-Aryan peoples, is a class of serfs and menials, which has developed into a vast and pitiful population known as the “‘untouchables.” the class distinctions of India were limited to these four divisions it would be easy enough, perhaps—as it has proved to be in Japan, where a similar ancient sys- tem existed up to a few years ago—to over- come ruling prejudices and to adjust social customs to modern political developments; but the classes have become subdivided into so many castes that not even the most learned Indian knows the number of them, and the result is a disunion of national life that is utterly bewildering and knows no parallel. In fact the use of the word na- tional is not justified. The Indian’s Ambition There is no India, really; there are no Indians. There is just a great country known in modern history as India, which is aaenee by innumerable groups of people hat are bound by established rules—re- por lc by abysmal ignorance and unbe lievable superstition—to avoid each other as clean men would avoid lepers. These different groups may not intermarry; they may not sit at table together or drink from the same cup; the threshold of a high-caste man may not be crossed by a low-caste man; and me n of all castes alike, from the lowest of the “untouchables” to the high- est of the second class, are enslaved by a sedulously nurtured faith in the super- humanity of the Brahman. And it must not be imagined by those who have never had time or opportunity to gain familiarity with this subject that the Brahmans are all priests whose province i to minister to the spiritual needs of the people. Not at all. I believe all priests and teachers of the Hindu faith are Brahmans, but the Brahman caste, which has main- tained its supremacy unchallenged through- out something like two millenniums, is numerically very strong and is _ itself divided into approximately eighteen hun- dred subcastes. The whole subject of caste is a mystification, a confoundment, and I have no intention of more than touching upon it by way of indicating the back- ground of the present political situation. All the cooks in India, for instance, are Brahmans; necessarily, because only Brah- mans can handle food without polluting it. A man may cook fora man of his own caste, but only a Brahman may cook food for gen- eral sale and consumption. Mrs. Besant and theosophy may, I believe, claim ad- herents from any caste. To maintain a close relationship through all manner of forms with innumerable gods and to avoid pollution—these are the chief aims and ambitions of the average Indian, and everything else in life is of secondary importance. With regard to caste a learned Hindu author has said: “‘Civiliza- tion in India has been brought to a stand- still by its mischievous restrictions, and thereisnohope . . . until those restric- tions are removed.” To these restrictions add the fact that it is a moot question, the discussion of which has recently been filling considerable space in the newspapers of India, whether two on a half per cent or something nearer ten per cent of the population are literate, and you have some idea of the Indian social status. The party in opposition to radical change in government without due preparation for them—and this party is not made up entirely of Englishmen by any means maintains that only about two and a half per cent of the people have even the first faint rudiments of an education; which means that a much lower percentage than this have advanced beyond the simple accomplishments of reading and writing. Large numbers who are counted as literate in the census returns can do nothing more than scrawl their own signatures. | can make big money with the EVENING POST HE Vamishes and Enamels Anyone Can Use —Yet are specified by leading architects for the finest buildings in the land.

GN ok f My) THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Further, if men and women are considered separately in the statistics one is confronted by the appalling conclusion that ninety- } eight-plus per cent of the women of India are as ignorant, so far as what is known as education is concerned, as they were the day they were born. Yet Mrs. Besant and her fellow agitators get up on occasion and rant uproariously about the wonderful “awakening” and the splendid advance of the ome n of India! Why, bless my soul! Most of the women of India are married before they are ten years old! Millions are married in their cradles, and there are thousands upon thou- sands of widows who have not yet reached what the reformers now hesitantly sug- gest as the marriageable age. Not the wild- est reformer among them has ever dared put this age above sixteen, either. As a matter of fact there are more than twenty- six million widows in India, and they are all practically slaves in the house holds of their dead husbands. It is an extraordinary problem. Infant mortality in India is terrific. Infant husbands die in infancy and leave infant widows, who are bound by stringent and immemorial law—not British law, but Indian law, with which the British, con- trolling such a fearful population, have not dared to interfere—to remain widows throughout their lives. The British abol- ished suttee, or the immolation of widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands, and they eradicated thuggee. Mark Twain writes about thuggee in More Tramps Abroad. It fascinated him and he devoted thrilling chapters to it—lightly, of course, and from a humorous standpoint that would have been impossible to any other human that ever lived. The ardent supporters of the “‘sacred cause”’ of political liberty declare that all official statistics with regard to the literacy of the population are iniquitous exaggera- tions. They carefully avoid, as a rule, all reference to female education—unless it be for the purely propagandist purpose of hurling social conditions at England’s head and crying shame upon her that they should continue to exist—and confine themselves to male statistics. And even these are aston- ishing enough. It is claimed with a curious degree of pride that in.a population of about two hundred and fifty millions in British In- dia—excluding the native states—there are fourteen million literate males, and one earnest devotee to the home-rule idea writes triumphantly: “One-plus per cent of even the rural population and five-plus per cent of the urban population have been exercising the right of election for the past thirty-three years and over, of sending members to the local bodies. The same electorate with a slight modification may very well be in- trusted with the right of electing members to a national legislative council.” What England Has Done for India I have referred casually to the fact that the responsibility for existing conditions is laid at England’s door by agitators whose business it is to try to prove that British government in India has failed. They mar- shal long arrays of damning facts, hold them up to the gaze of the credulous and ask what is to be thought of a civilized peo- ple that has such results to show for a cen- tury and a half of political domination. And as regards India’s amazing benightedness England can easily be proved guilty of crim- inal neglect of duty, if not of havi ing delib- erately throttled the soul of India in order to simplify the task’ of alien sovereignty. But all such proof lies in argument that is unfair to the last degree. The method is carefully to disregard counterbalancing facts which, being sympathetically pre- sented, serve to prove that England’s whole endeavor in India, since India became a art of the British Empire forty years ago as been to serve the Indian people. That India is a great modern country filled with the enlightening influences of modern progressiveness along every imag- inable line is to England’s credit, not to India’s. In everything in India—in the great im- provement associations of the cities, in the rural organizations, in the sociz il-uplift so- cieties, in the effort to make women free, in the ceaseless battle against famine and dread disease, in the establishment of innumer- able institutions of health and learning, and most of all perhaps in the nationalist move- ment itself and the developing ambition of May 11,1918 the people to rule themselves, one feels and recognizes the relentless urge of England's conscience. It is well to remember that England’ enemies and those disaffected or misguided Indians who seek to prove England’s record in India a disgrace always refrain from cal!- ing attention to the three hundred and twenty millions of people, steeped in age- long ignorance and superstition, weakened by evil social laws and practices, and di- vided into a million antagonistic factions To lift such an inert mass of humanity against its will into the light that shines from the minds of educated men is a stu- pendous task that may well be planned to cover ten generations to come. Dr. Chandra Ray, a highly enlightened and therefore conservative Indian, address- ing the social conference at Calcutta a few days ago, said: We stand on the threshold of a new era in our history. New ideas, high aspirations are pulsating in our hearts. A wave of demo- cratic movement is spreading all over the world. It cannot be expecte ‘d that India alone will remain a mere passive and silent onlooker unaffected by the time spirit. But a dispassionate observer, watching the pres- ent state of things from a position of detach- ment, cannot fail to notice the weak points in our hedy politic. While the echo of home rule is reverberating from one end of the country to the othe r, while ambitious schemes of political reconstruction are being propounded by every section of the people, while gorgeous visions of a united India are capturing our imaginations, loud protests of indignation are raised by classes and communities among us which we can no longer ignore.” The Opponents of Reform Dr. Chandra Ray was talking to repre- sentatives of the oppressing classes and h was referring to the oppressed. He outlined the history of caste in India and spoke sym pathetically about the ancient claims of th: higher cas tes. Then he proceeded: ‘I now appeal to you from a different standpoint: The ere is such a thing as ex- pediency even in sociology. Is it fair, is it just, is 1t in the | best interests of our coun- try that a handful of privileged men should continue to monopolize all the advantages accruing to them through the accident of birth and drive the submerged teeming mil lions to hostile camps and compel them to live in a state of armed neutrality? A house divided against itself cannot stand The backward classes are flesh of our flest and bone of our bone, and it is the bounden duty of our men of light and leading to ex- tend to them the right hand of fellowship and to lift them up from the quagmire of degradation and despondency. “We cannot afford any longer to have our social framework a microscopic minority of Spartans lording it over the Helots. The loss to the country from the intellectua stagnation of the overwhelming majority of our people is simply incalculable. We are loud in claiming political equality with our British fellow subjects, but when it come to yielding an inch of ground to our owr countrymen we fight shy of it and cry ‘Help! Murder!’”’ And that last statement is the history o India in a nutshell. It is the history of Brit- ish rule in India. England’s interest, the interest of a Christian people, would natu- rally be in the oppressed classes, and Eng land’s whole desire has been to lift them up to make the “‘untouchables”’ touchable; t: overcome in some degree caste prejudice to level the Himalayan heights and the abysmal depths of fixed social grades into something approaching equality. But every move that England has made for the benefit of the downtrodden millions has been met by the ruling classes with cries of ‘‘ Help! Murder!’’ The best sign in India to-day is that a man of a ruling caste dares stand be- fore an audience of his peers and tell them the truth. And he goes on with simple di- rect eloquence to accuse them of every form of social selfishness and assures them that India must be reformed from the inside outward before it will be possible for her successfully to exercise the political privi leges that are now so vociferously and in- sistently demanded. And he tells them how it can be dons There must be universal consent among the ruling castes to the abolition of child mar- riage, to the raising of the marriageable age even he places the possible age no higher than sixteen—to the emancipation and (Concluded on Page 57)

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST TREASURE HOUSES OF MERCY Counsel of perfection—but how hard to attain! For humans create their works in their own image. Nevertheless, he kept on repeating it, as if it were a kind of magic talisman; and during those first weeks it was on his lips a hundred times: ‘‘ We've got to keep things simple and we’ve got to keep them big.’’ Thus they talked; and they reasoned and they planned. And they chalked out roughly a big valiant circle circumscribing their efforts—American Army, French Army, refugees, tubercu- losis, canteens, hospitals, children, recon- struction work, reéducation; and then they allotted to each man his place. Of course there were square pegs in round holes in that first circle. There were holes that lacked pegs of any kind; they were just holes. Then they landed. And after the tumult and the shouting died, and the welcomers had departed, and the leaders got down to their jobs, they discovered, bit by bit, the following things: That American business methods are about, four speeds ahead of Continental methods; that life here is not regulated for business, but business is regulated for living; that there is no such word as hurry in the dictionary; that it requires a special act of Congress and the infinite patience of the Almighty to use the French telephone; that they hadn’t left all of their kind critics on the other side of the water; that certain of them had bought the best seats on the grand stand and were already sitting up there waiting to see them fail; that condi- tions were both better and worse than had been foretold—in short, that they had ahead of them the biggest fight of their lives. The sheer physical difficulties were enor- mous. And this particular part of the his- tory is true, not only of the Red Cross but equally so of the Army. They had to begin at once to operate on a grand scale, and they were not only ignorant of the con- ditions and laws governing such operations, but, also, they had no plant, no personnel, no tools. They had to buy and they didn’t know the market; they had no buyers, no warehouses in which to put the stuff after they bought it, and no means of transporta- tion. And still they bought. They bought at random, in the dark, in answer to their immediate needs. They put a lawyer in charge of supplies until they could get hold of some broad-gauge merchants from home. Overcoming Obstacles They realized from the start that this was not going to be any little two-by-four retail trade, and yet the sheer size of the units of measurements stunned them. Not hundreds of yards of gauze, but millions. Not dozens of sweaters, but hundreds of thousands. Not two or three motor trucks for carriers, but hundreds. Not one single big warehouse, but scores of them, strung like beads on a chain throughout the land. “We've got to keep this thing simple, and we've got to keep it big,’”’ reiterated the leader, ‘“‘or we'll be swamped inside of a week.’”’ So they commandeered some of the best merchants in America, men who could look a million-dollar contract in the eye without flinching. That was what they wanted; that was what they had to have if the organization was going to survive. Meantime the plant went forward, fash- ioning general policies with one hand, so to speak, while with the other it dealt with immediate affairs. Starting any new proj- ect is always attended ‘ith a certain amount of difficulties. But in America, that paradise of the business m: an, where brains, labor and all the necessary physical properties can be acquired by merely speak- ing over the telephone, these difficulties are diminished to the irreducible minimum. Thus, it is almost impossible to conceive the obstacles that beset the first steps of these business pioneers, who were striving to collect the elements of a great plant, which, even in time of peace, takes months to consolidate. They labored prodigiously. They worked far into the night to keep their desks cle ar, and arrived in the morn- ings before their stenographers; in fact, it was a joke in those early days that certain enthusiasts never went home at all—that they curled up in their sleeping bags under their desks right in the offices. Nevertheless, it was rough swimming for the young organization. And it was at this (Continued from Page 9) particular me that’the critics, those keen, watchful waiters, beholding its strug- gles, began to point the finger of scorn and to jeer derisively: ‘See how badly he swims! See him splash! All splash and no swim!” Now the leaders of the Red Cross did not spring immaculate from the loins of per- fection; they were fallible, like any other leaders of any other private or public in- stitution. In truth, the organization did do a bit of splashing at the start. Perhaps the biggest difference between its chiefs and their critics lay in the fact that the former saw the goal toward which they were striv- ing through heavy seas, while the critics saw only the splash. Undoubtedly one of the most acute of the early irritations was the lack of compe- tent stenographers who understood both French and English. One morning the chief of the transportation bureau had occasion to dictate a letter to his secretary asking the French Government to give him a thousand numbers for the matriculation of his ears. After the letter had been turned into French he glanced through it casually, noted that the figures were correct, took pains to have it duly countersigned at American Military Headquarters, and sent it off. In due course there arrived at his office three distinguished French officials, who smilingly said: ““We have come to thank the American Red Cross for the thousand cars it has just presented to the French Government. It’s very handsome of you. We're badly in need of cars right now.” Delicate Discipline “What!” gasped the dumfounded trans- portation head. ‘‘We—we didn’t give you any thousand cars. We haven't got ’em to give!” The visitors produced the letter. The uncomprehending, one-candle-power little Frenchstenographer had unwittingly turned the whole business upside down and had presented a thousand cars to the French Government; and her employer had clinched the gift by an official visé from the American Army Headquarters! Accidents like that were multifold. As the weeks rushed by more and more shiploads of helpers arrived, and the original band of twenty leaped up to a hundred, two hundred, five hundred, a thousand. Some of the square pegs began to be shifted into suitable holes. With growth no one person became absolutely indispensable. In an organization of this particular type, dependent largely on volunteer aid, with its ranks composed of intelligent men and women who have held honorable and im- portant positions in private life, the danger is lest there shall be too many crowned heads. Discipline becomes a delicate mat- ter; straightforward orders are apt to be resented; it is hard to can an incompetent volunteer. Also, in any considerable aggregation of human atoms there are always some pro- vice-sub-deputy lieutenants who aspire to be field marshals at least. This organiza- tion, being human, had a few such—not many, but one or two. And in those first difficult days, had not the leader been firm as well as kind, these minor troubles might have assumed major proportions. It was the custom in those early weeks to hold directors’ meetings every morning at nine o’clock, and a few members of the commission fell into the negligent habit of strolling in five, ten, fifteen minutes late. One morning, after waiting for several of these tardy ones to find their seats, their leader looked round the circle and slowly said: “It’s of no importance whether any par- ticular member attends this conference or not. The Red Cross can manage to get along without him. But I'd like to call your attention to the fact that this meeting opens at nine o’clock. Any person who finds that hour too early may stay away.” Ensued a minute of tingling silence while several very pink-faced gentlemen stared assiduously at their boots. Needless to say, all tardiness ceased on the spot. And this driving force, this sense of captaincy, of making the whole organization answer like a ship to the helm, was the finest thing that could have happened to the Red Cross at this period of beginnings; for it fused her almost too intelligent parts together. Upon another occasion there arose the question of delegating special powers to a member of the commission. Certain Amer- ican ambulance men got into trouble, and this particular member wished to be given the power to countersign the decision the French Government had taken in the | affair. “No,” said the leader firmly; “I cannot consent to delegate to any single individual such grave powers. The American Red Cross is the only court of justice in this country to which those ambulance men can appeal, and nobody shall sign away their rights until a thorough investigation has been made at full meeting of the board.”” The member resigned for the good of the cause So passed the first months. The huge shadowy circle of activities the commission had sketched on board began to take on a firmer outline. Trained chiefs of bureaus arrived. And these experts, in turn, drew smaller circ budgets of needs les, sent in and got their workers out into the field Thus the organization, as such, began to emerge, a gigantic enterprise, of a type hitherto unknown on earth: idealistic in principle, yet practical in form; demo- cratic in the source of its funds; plainly a Federal Government proposition, yet oper- ating without government red tape, and with unpaid officials who still worked their heads off, with no thought of individual preferment or fame—in short, something new under the sun. clesiastes was wrong! The organization had a hand in the affairs of the American Army; the French Army; in the affairs, also, of the civilians, the refugees, the repatriates, the tuberculous, the mutilated, the children, the farmers in the destroyed villages of the devastated zones. Truly a vast edifice of mercy! So much for the external features of the picture. But experts may expert and budg- eteers make budgets until kingdom come, and unless there is some kinetic power to make those dreams come true, the whole outfit is no better than a dead automobile, with no gasoline in the tank. So, within the big outer structure, which the world sees, there is another inner structure of the Red Cross entire plant. This inner structure is composed of the buying, the transportation and the ware- house departments. They compare exactly with the quartermaster’s department of the Army. And thus, stripping off all external activities, the American Red Cross in France stands revealed as nothing more or less than an immense storekeeping con- cern—a country store at the crossroads, with a general stock in trade. A Gigantic Department Store Now a country store handles a diverse class of merchandise. There are farming implements, machinery, grain and hay, food, kitchen utensils, furniture, a depart- ment of men’s and women’s clothing; and even candy and toys for the children, It aims to supply the simpler wants of the countryside. So, also, does the Red Cross; but its clientéle is an entire nation, and two fighting armies besides. Here are just a few of the articles of which it must carry a stock in its stores: Foods, wearing apparel of all types and descriptions, beds and bedding for hospital and civilian uses, hospital supplies, surgical dressings, surgical instruments and drugs of every kind, splints, furniture, farming ma- chinery, lumber, portable sawmills and planing mills, portable engines, eoncrete mixers and rock crushers, gasoline tractors, cystoscopes, chloroform scarifiers, nitrous-oxide gas plants, building materials, every kind of tinware for use in canteens and hospitals, china and glassware, phono- graphs, games for ind: and outdoors, smoking materials, libraries, field kitchens, kitchen trailers; portable X-ray machines for use in the field, fully equipped in auto- mobiles; portable disinfecting outfits for men and clothes, consisting of several rooms, where men coming from the trenches, covered with filth and vermin, enter and remove their clothes, which are passed through a sterilizer while the men proceed to another room and are bathed with dis- infectants and showered, finally passing, thoroughly cleansed, to a room where their (Continued on Page 65) masks,

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST How You Profit by Starting with Right Principles The bearings in your motor car must meet two fundamental requirements First, they must enable important moving parts to operate vithout the loss of power and rapid wear that would result from friction—the ‘“‘rubbing”’ of one part on another. Second, they must do this without being quickly worn out themselves by the heavy loads, bumps and vibration to which th ire subjected by the car’s motion. The second requirement is hardest to fulfill, and it is here t he foundation of Timken Quality was securely laid, g n a fundamentally correct design. The series of tapered rollers, revolving bctween tapered cup and a tapered cone ires maximum resistance to the “radial d”’ that pounds down with the weight of the car and up th the bumps of the road, and also to the “‘end thrust”’ that the rollers end-on into the cup when the car turns or ! | ! ) t¢ Quality begin th the steel of which the bearing is made. limken is tl one Company manufacturing anti-friction hearings which establishes complete control of its raw material 1 + } I r Y ILS ¢ I Timken is satisfied with nothing less than Timken-made teel, of that superior quality for which the Héroult Electric Fur has ! me famou 3y making the steel in Timken furnaces, and testing in Timken laboratories the very materials of which the steel is le, Timken not only avoids delays in shipments, but makes sure that speci tions are exactly followed.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Control of Quality The One Correct Bearing for You Only one Timken Bearing—out of hundreds of different sizes—can be exactly correct for any given place in your particular make of car. The work it has to do depends on the weight and size of the car, and many other details which may affect not only the size of the bearing, but the number and degree of taper of the rollers—though all Timken Bearings have the sam« principles of design, the same quality of materials and work manship. So Timken insists that the bearings for your car be selected only after every detail has been considered in conference by the engineers of the car builder and of the Timken organization Every recommendation made by Timken engineers is based on detailed and exact knowledge of all factors that concern power plant and running gear. Timken recommendations ar never made until every detail of the car has been definitely determined Mounting Each Bearing Properly If you, the car owner, are to get the full value of the pains taking care and accuracy devoted to the production of Timker Quality, you should be assured that your bearings are mounted in position with care and accuracy Here again Timken protects you, by codperating with the car builder in order to make sure that the the bearings are correctly designed and accurately made parts supporting The wise and progressive car builder appreciates this coop eration, realizing the value of Timken experience with every type of installation in thousands of varying models of motor cars As a consequence of every-day Timken coéperation you, as a car user, are assured of the correct mounting so necessary to long bearing life. And whether the bearing goes into a pleasure car, commercial car, industrial truck or farm tractor the same carefully-set standards are followed. Every bearing is installed in the exact way that Timken experience proves is best for the user. Passing on the Control to You Has the control of Timken Quality reached its limit when the ) car at last leaves the dealer's show-room for active service ? No—still another safeguard is added. After following that qualit through the Timken plant, through the car builder’s factory and into the car itself, Timken has provided a way for you, the owner, to continu control and indefinitely prolong Timken Quality—for Timken Bearing are adjustable to take up effects of wear When wear finally occurs, as it will in time to eny rotating | Timken Bearings can be restored to full efficiency by a simple an adjustment. With a part turn of a wrench you can wipe all the off the slate, and your Timken Bearings are ready to begin their long service all over again.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST May 11,1918 OUR Red Cross is an all-American, largely volun- teer organization, authorized by Congress, headed by President Wilson, audited by the War Department, en- thusiastically approved by your Army, your Navy, and your Allies. The work covers both military and civilian relief in every war-torn Allied country and full reports of all expendi- tures are continually being published, or are available through the Chapters. It stands beside our boys in training here or “over there.”’ It watches beside the pillows of battle-broken men, and offers rest and sympathy to war-torn fighters on brief respite from the front. It carries food and clothing to hungered mothers and little ones in ruined villages. It helps rebuild the scattered pile of brick and stone they once called ‘‘ Home.”’ It brings back to the hopeless mother’s arms her long-lost child. It helps care for the orphans of the men who died that civiliza- tion might live. It helps care for the thousands that have fallen prey to dread tuberculosis. It nobly represents in deeds of mercy, relief, and restoration the more than twenty million members that have made its great work possible. Every cent of every dollar received for the Red Cross War Fund is spent for war relief. All administration costs, relief work for other than war purposes (such as the Halifax and Guatemala disasters) are taken care of out of membership dues, and the interest accruing from the banking of the War Fund has made available for war relief at least $1.02 for every $1 contributed reargpnges - ae This page contributed for the Winning of the War by the EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY, ROCHESTER, N.

But late in i wing the job of September a group of men with large mer-_ handizing experience arrived. ‘At the start buying was a matter of gi Purchases were made by each department without any central purchasing agency, and stored for them indi- vidually But the business quickly out- grew this met Early in October budgets were prepared, approximately covering their expenditures for the ensuing six months And now the buying against these budgets done wherever the goods are pro- curable at reasonable rates. We try, when- ever possible, to buy in France, giving ilways the most careful consideration not to exhaust supplies and materials. And the fact that in some cases the goods are plenti- ful at the moment is not held to be a suf- ficient reason for making the purchase, if so doing those stocks will be depleted later on.” lesswor}t were hod s being Purchasing Difficulties War conditions, as everyone knows, have made difficult to buy in France. Three years of steady conflict has drained all Europe of reserves and conveniences for work. It lacks men. There exists, also, a A Surgical Dressings Warehouse Red Cross consults; and the same thing is done with the French military and civil authorities. To complete this coérdi- nation the chief of the Red Cross Purchas- ing Bureau is also a member of the Army Purchasing Board. “* After France, other near-by markets are considered; for our problem here is two- fold—to avoid depleting the supplies of this country and to save tonnage across the At- lantic. In Europe the largest source of sup- plies is England. Accordingly, after I got my bureau here licked into reasonable shape, I took a trip to London to see what were the possibilities of buying over there. And I discovered that if the American Red Cross was to become a purchasing agent in England it must combat exactly the same extensive war restrictions which prevail in France. It would have to consider the fluc- tuations of the current market and the labor laws, as well as all the numerous lim- itations laid down by the government. A single contract might take weeks to nego- tiate and then fall through at the end. “In addition we should have to install another complete plant to operate in that country— buyers, bureaus of clerks, book- keepers, and so on, and storing and ship- ping systems. All of which, in turn, would entail a very signal increase of overhead ex- penditure. In short, viewed as a business proposition, the thing was not feasible if the Red Cross entered the market as an indi- vidual purchaser. The alternative was to have the British Red Cross do our buying for us, with a separate set of books. And that cut the Gordian knot at one clip; for the British Red Cross is as much at home in her market as we are in America. Know- ing conditions she’can make better tracts than we could make for ourselves, and after three years of war her machinery is at a fine point of practical efficiency. So that now all we have to do is to cable our wants; she does the rest “This hearty coéperation on the part of the British Red Cross has been of the greatest service to us already, for we can absolutely depend not only on an A-one class of merchandise but also on its speedy dispatch. Already we have bought thirty million frances’ worth of goods out of that one market alone, and if the war continues our drafts will be much heavier. “The size of our purchases would amaze any peacetime merchant of the olden days. For example, 10,000,000 yards of gauze and 5,000,000 rolls of absorbent cotton were ordered at one time. Aside from that, in a single one of our warehouses in Paris we have 7000 tons of foodstuffs, all of American origin. In the same group of warehouses are 7000 bedsteads, mattresses and pillows; about 350,000 blankets, 350,000 sheets and double that number of pillow slips. We carry about $350,000 worth of American shoes for men and half that amount of French shoes for women and children. Of men’s, women’s and children’s con great shortage of rail transportation. The Red Cross entered the field at the end of these three years, at i period of decreased production, and of ery much increased onsumption, owing o the demands of the British and American armies its pur- hasing agents want to buy three tons of val for a garage they nust get a permit from the French War Department.

For example, in the present congestion of shipping and with the wants of the army taking by right first place, Red Cross shipments must go in whatever space is left. There is in New York Harbor a little Red Cross lighter that plies among the big freighters and picks up extra tonnage space freed at the last hour. Perhaps some of the ship’s regu- lar cargo has been delayed. Then the Red Cross rushes out supplies to fill the extra hold space. This, to be sure, is excellent business, but it has its inconvenient side; for that ship may be sailing to any of eleven ports of France, from Marseilles on the south to Havre on the north. There must, therefore, be at each of these points of contactawa , motor trucks, tevedores, clerks—in short, a complete init of organization to receive and store the good This constitutes the first group of rehous¢ warehouses, a circle drawn about the entire ast line of France. In Paris, the nucleus the circle, is the second group, ware- houses for the retail trace that is, for any kind of mixed requ tion, large or small; lesale warehouses that deal only witl vholesale quantities by the truck or camion id; warehouses for food warehouses yiven over exclusively to surgical supplie Then there are the third and fourth t up in the war ye the third a circle of warehouse cattered through the is towns in the French and Americar which are important transportatior iter and the fourth a circle drawn Just behind the fighting line and carrying emergent tore These various circles Par is the center ery « mmpetently re fie Ready for Action In 191 when the Red Cross first arrived France, the civilian problem naturally engaged its chief attention; for our Army t t yet in the field But now, with our own soldiers o here running up into the hundreds of the inds, and with our ship ping alway op te rer of atemporary eclipse frdm submarines, it seems self-evident that bound an increas- in the to play portant role the Red Cross i ingly large and more in direct military affairs of the nation.

These things may come in mighty handy some THE SATURDAY day. And you can’t collect em in a hurry That is the whole buying policy of the Red a nutshell Over in the of the Road tands a warehouse I am going to describe, because it stands as a type of all the rest. Cross in street Greer Conceive a vast, rambling cab stable, built French fashion round a big central cobbl stone court. Here goes on a continual clatter and rush of affairs—motor trucks driving in, motor trucks driving out, bales of stuff being pile d on designated platforms clerks hurrying about with inventories and bills of lading, permissionnaire stevedores staggering unde : huge loads. In this ware- only retail goods are handled in broken lots. Requisitions come in, varying in size from a thermometer or a package of safety pins to mixed consignments valued at tens of thousands of dollars. So an enormous stock is always kept on hand. I walked through scores of rooms piled ceiling-high with every type of merchan- dise, every implement of kitchen, house, farm and hospital that the mind of man could conceive; rooms filled with clothing, boots, sabots; rooms filled with foods, perishable and imperishable. And in the furniture department whole houses were stored away in portab let sections. It was a stupendous, amazing array. The gleaming kitchen utensils in partic ular were so alluring that I caught myself looking for a clerk to ask the price of his new egg beaters! The only article I did not see in stock was the American cocktail shaker. Presently in our pilgrimage we came upon a closed room whence issued the most de- lightful odor I have ever smelled in a for- eign land; the kind of delicious, sizzling, savory breakfast odor purely indigenous to America and to be found nowhere of morning in all the land of France house shoes, The Double-Locked Room ‘I know what’s behind that locked door,” I said. “It’s ham— American-smoked breakfast ham!’’ My nose did not deceive door wide me. My conductor flung the open, remarking: “‘A pretty nice sight, eh?” And we both directed our gaze toward the ceiling, whence floated down that divine smell, There they hung, thousands upon thousands of them, a serried solid twilight grove of hams! I gazed upward wistfully, —_ h as the fabled fox gazed upon the for- bidden grapes hanging high. Only eaters of wartime Continental breakfasts can ealize the bitter poignancy of my longing ‘Mr. Douglas,” 1 began, ‘“‘could you would you—do you suppose you might loan me one of those hz a very little one, for a while 3 I knew the Red C could vend them or give them to a mere outsider; but Il thought it might loan me, aS a neighbor loans a cup of sugar to a friend. My conductor laughed. ims, not one to ‘Yes—if you can produce a requisition from a hospital signed by the chief surgeon and countersigned by the Red Cross. Those hams are for our convalescent soldiers whose appetites need coaxing I double- 10uld lock this door,”’ he added casually. Is think he would! This warehouse employs about two hun dred workmen, chiefly French and Belgian permissionnaires, In the beginning M roccan labor was used; but it proved un atisfactory. The gaunt dark figures, swathed in their dirty brown burnooses and rompers, melted indistinguishably into the far shadows of the warehouse. Or the su- perintendent would come upon whole cov- eys slumbering peacefully, draped against a’ wall. Their complexion and garments made a perfect camouflage. The Moroccans are one of the minor tragedies of this war. The inhospitable, bleak northern climate has developed tuber- culosis; their beloved kuskus—goat’s meat and rice —is not to be had; the terrible roar of bombardment shatters their primitive nerves; and the complicated rules of civi- lized combat confuse their simple souls. So courageous and proud are they that at first they refused to cower to the ground under a shower of shells; they met them standing like braves. In attack they never touch a wounded man, whois sacred; but, by the same token, they never make one. They always finish the job. And then they cut off the enemy’s head and tie it up in a bandanna, as a nder souvenir of the occasion. As these souvenirs began to accumulate, the French Government interdicted the pleasing cus- tom. And that is the explanation of the sad, yearning look in these strangers’ dark EVENING POST eyes. Yes; this war is Just one long tragedy for the Moroccans. From the warehouse in Paris I made a trip to the French Front at S——, where a fresh division of Americans has gone into the trenches. A few miles behind the line is ar nothe r Red Cross storage plant, a type of the field units. This time it was not a cab stable, but a convent—a convent from which the nuns had fled when the Germans upon the hill began sending shells down into the chapel. There is still a great gap- ing hole in the roof and the stone walls are pitted with shrapnel. Here the civilian population, starting life afresh on their devastated farms, come for food, furniture and field tools; and here, also, the military authorities drop in with all kinds of emergency orders. Hitherto the stock in the war-zone warehouses has been largely civil in character, but from now on hospital and army requirements take precedence over everything. So much for the purchasing and ware- house departments. great storekeeping concern, however, must have not only goods, and houses to hold them, but also carriers to convey them to their destination. And thus one of the problems of the Red Cross was to build up an adequate trans- portation service. Here again they found a great shortage of materials. The French and the British had been three years before them on the ground, and had corralled not only the best warehouse sites but also the automobiles. The Army and the Red Cross found them- selves with the same hard nut to crack namely, to get control of a large number of motor trucks and vehicles when none were to be had in the market. To buy in America meant a three-months handicap at least. The Red Cross ordered, nevertheless; and meantime it went on a still hunt through France and Italy and managed to pick up a few dozen cars. Then another problem thrust up its head. Some of these cars were feeble sis- ters to begin with, secondhand, worn-out, broken-down; and the incessant rough usage they were put to discouraged them completely. They were constantly in the hospital for repairs. And there they had to stay a good portion of the time, for there were no spare parts in France. So tremen- dous had been the demand for machines that manufacturers had put all their spare parts into new cars and the old cars had to go without. In addition there Ordinarily alcohol is were other checks. used when a radiator is frozen—but there was no alcohol; or glycerin—but there was no_ glycerin. Thus, to build up, operate and keep in order a plant of this description presented obstacles that nobody living in America can even faintly realize The Distributing System Take, for example, the life history of a box of surgical dressings; trace its wander- ings to its ultimate destination and you will find that the transportation department sticks to its side closer than any brother. First, the box is put aboard a steamer in New York Harbor. It arrives, and is dumped on the quai of any of eleven ports of France. It doesn’t know beforehand where it is going to land, and neither does any body else Sut the transportation department keeps each port for just such con- to the port ware- a service at tingencies. It is taken house—haul number one. Then it is put aboard a Paris train—haul number two. Arrived at Batignolles—one of the finest freight stations in the world—it may go, according to its contents, to any of five warehouses in Par‘s. Let us say it is allotted to Warehouse Number Five— haul number three. There, its contents standardized, it is repacked and transferred to the whole- sale warehouse—haul number four. From there it may be shipped by train to some point in the war zone-—two more hauls, five and six. And from the warehouse in the war zone it may be transferred by camion to the hospital at the Front—haul number seven. In the beginning, this department started with three flivvers. Now it numbers seven hundred, and the list is constantly growing. Its park for the machines covers blocks of city ground. Its largest garage houses hun- dreds of automobiles. There is not a mer- chant firm in America that maintains so amply equipped a carrying service as does the Red Cross in Europe. Not only does it handle all its own materials, but it always May 11,1918 Army in an has machines ready for the emergency. “By the way,” at Field Headquarters one day to a visiting said a military potentate Red Cross potentate, “could you people lend us two or three motor trucks for a while—until we can get some of ours up here? I spoke to your delegate about it this morning.” The Red Cross potentate looked over to his delegate assigned to that sector. ‘Will you make a note of that?” The delegate grinned. ‘The trucks have been on the job four hours already,” he : said. “I got the Army order at eight o’clo¢ék and sent them right over with their drivers.” In addition to its regular business the transportation department has recently taken on another service. This is the care of the wounded in the Paris air raids. “Who gave you that job, anyhow?” someone asked the transportation chief, a young man who never knows when he has enough to do. he said. Gasoline Scarce The chief of the bureau leaned over and spoke low in the other’s ear. “Nobody,” said he. ‘‘I—took it!” And it is a good job to take. Briefly it consists in Red Cross ambulances patrol- ling the streets from the moment the alerte sounds, and getting the victims of the bombs, explosions and fires to the hospital without delay. This service has been oper- ating for about a month, and thus far the Americans have been first upon the spot in each instance. The President of France has spoke n high praise of their valor and speed Certainly it is not pleasant to go streak- ing through darkened streets, with the sky full of strange fires, the air trembling with the thunder of explosions and the dull boom-boom of the anti-aircraft guns, and two-hundred-kilo torpedoes—the latest de- sign—hurtling through the atmosphere with incalculable velocity, tearing through ten-story buildings as if they were card- board and smashing concrete cellars to bits. But the ambulance men say they like it! Sometimes peculiar requests come into the transportation department. The other day an army officer strolled in with the de- mand that two thousand pairs of running trunks, for exercise, be dispatched imme- diately by camion to his troops. The men wanted them for exercise, and they wanted them right away. The distance was only two hundred and eighty-four kilometers! And gasoline was worth slightly over its weight in gold! I have said that the stores department contained every conceivable article on earth save a cocktail shaker. I was wrong rhe buyers had neglected to lay in a stock of running trunks. The soldiers are going to get them, though. But they may have to trot in after them, for no gasoline is going to be wasted on such affairs. It takes a combination of an archangel and the three eaded dog Cerberus to be a successful chief of transportation. One of the gravest problems is gasoline ‘his is a gasoline war. At present there is a great scarcity of this precious liquid. It cannot be had for love or money. It is dis tributed, so much to each area, and may be had only upon military requisition. But sometimes a run may be made upon the supply of a certain town, or even of a whol district, which will then go temporarily dry. Word comes in: “No essence in the region of X It is then manifest that no motors can be routed through that dis trict during the shortage; for, before ma chines are sent out, their itineraries are routed and their return guaranteed. Once two distinguished Americans got stuck in the region of \ with no es- within a radius of ten miles. They said they were President Wilson and his secretary, traveling incog. But they might just as well have impersonated the Al- mighty, with Gabriel in attendance, for all the success they had. At length, after much search, they discovered a little French- woman who used a few scant quarts of the precious stuff in her business. They offered to buy it for an extravagant sum. She re- fused. They doubled the amount. The little woman shook her head. ‘You do not comprehend, sence messieurs,”’ she said. “It is not money I must have for my business. It is essence. Can I feed twenty-frane notes into my machine? If you will promise to return the exact amount, (Conctuded on Page 72

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST Almost the equal ofa cord tire ~and at a popular price MPV RYONE now recognizes that the Bie cord principle in tire making is correct. ae. © It lengthens immeasurably the life of apt ; ithe tire. It softens the shock of the road. It multiplies power, spares gaso- line, and greatly lessens the strain on the mechanism acme GL C2 of the Car. But for everyday folks there is one hitch about cord tires—their first cost is higher. For the man whose pocketbook says he must buy a popular priced tire, the next thing to a cord 1s the Empire Fabric Tire. The Empire Fabric Tire yields to no tire below the cord class. Jt zs almost the equal of a cord. The experience of the past year has more than justified this claim. The one sure way to measure the service that a tire 1s giving to average users 1n average running, 1s by the adjustment record. Adjustment records are not often published. But at the Empire factory the adjustment record of 1917 isone not to conceal, but to point to with pride. limpire’s percentage of adjustments in 1917 was but a fraction over 1%. This record represents the adjustments on a// Iimpire Tires in use during the year. It gives, there- fore, a complete expression of the opinion of all Kimpire users. Practically 100°O satisfied ! This bears out the statement we have made often, that the average Empire, in average running, delivers thousands of extra miles. It proves our assertion that the Empire Fabric Tire of today is a/most the equal of a cord tire—and it is a Whole lot cheaper. Put one on your “‘southeast’’ wheel, the hardest test of a tire.

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST May 11,1918 “be sure you're right hen go ahead” , PE NHERE is no better place to apply Davy Crockett’s motto than in the j ; sins vile ithe field of American industrial production. Inthe making of machinery and machine parts, there has been too much ‘‘guessing it’s all right.”’ Times without number some ‘‘lumper’”’ at a machine has run it a half-day, making wrong sizes, and automatically sending his labor and his concern’s profits to the s¢ rap-heap. Absolute accuracy is impossible and unnecessary. In many cases the carry- ing of precision beyond requirements means financial loss. The problem is to establish the permissible variation or tolerance of any given dimension, before a run on a job is started. This can be done beyond peradventure of doubt. It makes the operator sure he’s right before going ahead—and keeps his output accurate to size. This is the all-important point concerning pro- duction of machine parts—if they are properly gaged they will go together the first time. That means a flowing day’s output and minimum assembling costs. Che units can be gaged with a Limit Gage, at the rate of, say, several hundred an hour. And the customer’s inspector will accept gaging done with Limit Gages because they are known for the ultimate of practical accuracy. The war has taught European workmen how to produce great volume of munitions of accurate dimension, motor trucks and other intricate machinery for military purposes, at unprecedented speed. When hostilities cease, mil- lions of these workers will turn to industrial pursuits, creating formidable competition for American industry. Then the limit gage must play a tre- mendous part in the quantity-production of machine parts, so that assem- bling can be done with speed and facility in any plant.
