AMBULANCE MEN PREPARING FOR

QMSERVICE No-Mans-LancT Just Out of Chicago Furnished Training for Red Cross Drivers. (By Associated Presa) CHICAGO, Oct. 31. Hair-raising rides at midnight over "No-MatTs-Land," situated four miles from Chicago's loop district, form a part of the training at Camp Scott, the Red Cross station which has guaranteed to send 1.800 expert ambulance and truck drivers to France and Italy before Jan. 1. The camp, which Is the only Red Cross branch ever placed under military discipline in America, sprang into life almost overnight. Residents

blinked and rubbed their eyes as the

little city of white tents flared up in their midst and the summer section of a famous pleasure resort was given over as barracks.

It was less than two months ago

that Major H. P. Harding, now com

mander at Camp Scott, was summon

ed to Washington by Red Cross offlc ials, who had Just received an S. O. S. call from France and Italy for drivers,

"Eighteen hundred by Jan. 1," came

the call.

"It can't be done," some exper.u

said.

"It can be done," Major Harding re

torted, and set out to do it.

Army officers expert in the work

were detailed to race the recruits

through the Intensive course of one month, after which they are ready for

overseas service. In seven weeks one-third of the required number were

either overseas or geting final instruc

tlona as mechanics, drivers and sol

diers.

Of the seventy-thousand Red Cross

drivers now on the battle fronts of

Europe, only the men turned out from

this camp will receive pay. They get

xzo a month while training and 1 40 a month after embarkation. They have the same status as privates in the army, and are commissioned lieutenants when able to take over an ambulance in France. Men from 16 to 55 are eligible, except those in claia one. Two other camps soon will be established; one in the east and one in the far west. Get Military Drilling. The recruits, who include farmer

boys, movie .actors, business men of means and grocer clerks, have bad tit least one year in driving a car. In one week they are given as much military drilling as was formerly received in the state militia in a year, officers said. The second week they are "farmer out" for expert mechanical work in big auto shops; the third week they are given further military training and during the final stretch they drive over the shell-gashed trails of the miniature No-Man's Land. Night driving is the final test. A sturdy lad from the north woods of Wisconsin was summoned to test i bis skill. .He climbed onto the seat 'of "Maude," the camp's most flippant and tempermental car, stepped on th& gas, and the car began dancing over the rugged trail of mud. Down into gullieB and over ten-foot bumps tho car raced, sometimes on four wheeli, more often on two. Finally came tho hill test, an incline sharper than a staircase. A hop, skip and Jump and Maude had topped the rise, where she paused but a minute before plunging down the other side and standing on tiptoe in the mud with back wheels humming in mid-air. Calmly enough the lad held his seat and brought the car to position ready for the final test a shell crater. Maude crept forward cautiously and poked her nose along the brink of the precipice. For a brief moment she paused. Then with a grunt and a snort she suddenly did a standing broad Jump to the opposite side. "Beautiful," chuckled an officer in admiration. "Luck." grumbled a rookie with a bandaged head who had failed the preceding day. "For the red-blooded boys who want quick action and a chance to be m Europe in six weeks from now, this unusual camp offers unprecedented opportunity," said the officer. "We need 1,100 more men at once. And we'll get them." Position Open for Senior Inspector Car Equipment An unassembled examination for tne position of Senior Inspector of Car Equipment will be held here, according to Frank Wilson, who is in charge of all civil service examinations. Applicants should have had five years experience in different mechanical work. This position pays from $1,800 to $3,600 per year. In an unassembled examination, applicants do not come together at one time, but the me-it of the competitor is tested solely by his Application.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a soldier boy in Maryland who baa been writing to me for some time. I never saw him, but some of my friends

asked him to write to me. I do not want to correspond with him and

sometimes he will write three or four letters before I answer them. , Would you advise me to quit writ

ing or not. He has sent several sou

venirs, Including a service pin. I would like for you to tell me what to do. He always writes such coaxing letters. BROWN EYES. If there is really any good reason why you do not wish to write to this boy Just drop the matter and do not answer any letters and In time I presume he will stop writing to you. If you have no good reason, I do not see why you should not write to him occasionally if you think he really enJoys your letters. You know boys in service want people to write to them whether they know them or not. Convention in this matter seems to be a thing of the past. However, I should not let any souvenirs Influence me one way or another.

Penny Pinching Not Always True Economy I have learned that the intelligent housewife the woman schooled in "really scientific domestic economy no longer throws away nickel to ava a penny. .

A good way to illustrate this point would be through comparison of baking powders. f Experience has taught me and millions of other .women that it doesn't pay to buy cheap baking powders. They cost a few cents less, but in the . long run they are decidedly the most expensive. Because of the low grade materials employed in their manufacture they cause many bake day failures and great loss of expensive ingredients. The housewife throws out, in wasted materials many times the amount saved on the cost of the baking powder. This ia not economy, but extravagance. . True economy in baking powder demands the highest quality at the lowest price. Only baking powders that meet these demands should be used. Only baking powder that is made of the highest class ingredients so perfectly proportioned that it not only produces maximum leavening power but also prturvts it. Besides, the baking powder that meets the modern demand for economy should be economical in use full strength economical in cost secured at a moderate price. The housewife should be able to effect a saving when tuiyiog and another saving when using and she should save materials it is used with. V That is economy in its highest form. Complete economy. The only kind of economy the housewife should attempt. I have proved positively by exhaustive experiments and comparative tests that Calumet Baking Powder is best suited to these savings. It possesses the surety, the purity and goodness that make constant employment of utmost baking economy possible.
