LAUREL LONGER [Noval Mar Bock. RETURNS, Now 1S NAVY RECRUITER)
Enlisted Here 14 Years Ago —And He Has Seen The World.
Laurel L. Longer, chief water tender, U. S. Navy, was back home in Indianapolis today. r Fourteen years ago he enlisted]; in the Navy through the local office. Now he has returned as a recruiting officer at the same office. During those years he has “seen the world” as the Navy recruiting posters promised. He's seen service in putting down two insurrections, aided survivors of a dirigible disaster, risen to the rank of chief petty officer and twice has been cited for unusual service. Born at Lyons
Mr. Longer was born at Lyons and came here when he was 5. He was graduated from School 12. On Oct. 20, 1925, he enlisted and was sent to the U. S. Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Ill.

hibited to Army Air Corps engineers at Wright Field, here, prior to shipment of the huge motor unit to France for war duty. Four of the mobile airports, each of which carries complete machine shop equipment, and lighting facilities to transform any cow pasture into an emergency airport for war- | plane use, have been ordered by the French Government at a total cost of $200,000. One of the airports is already en route to France. The T5-horsepower engine which furnishes the motive power for the six-wheel drive unit also drives a generator when the “airport” reaches its temporary: station. The generator supplies current in various voltages to operate a, lighting system for the airport, to recharge batteries, to power a lathe, drill and other tools in the machine shop compartment of the: unit,. and to operate a 2%-ton boom rigged on top of the unit. ; Two spare tives are mounted in front of the unit and act as a bumper with which the unit can push disabled airplanes around on the field. The complete unit weighs 26,000 pounds. The “airport or wheels” is manned by a three-man crew, commander, radio operator and driver-me-chanic. Space is provided for a complete two-way radio installation in the cabin of the truck. Sleeping facilities for two men are provided in the cabin while the third is supposed to stand watch.

It’s a penetrating powerful rub that's got just the stuff in it that helps bring blessed relief before you know it. But that isn’t all -it's good and helpful when you want prompt relief - when muscles in arm or leg are sore and painful — it's good to help relieve muscular chest pains ~ stiff neck —ache ing feet and the severe pains of rheumatism — neuralgia and lumbago.
