15 ARMY CAMP SITES WILL BE BOUGHTJY U. S, War Department Also Will Acquire 1 3 Balloon and Fly- . Jng Fields Over Country. WASHINGTON. March : 22. DecisIon of the "War department to proceed 1th the purchase of the siteg of fifteen army camps and thirteen balloon and flying fields over the country was announced today by acting Secretary Crow-ell. Less than $15,O0Q,000 -will be Involved, Mr. Crowell said, and it will not be necessary to await action by congress as the department now has the necesary funds. With these purchases completed, the army will have thirty training camps including the original sixteen cantonments constructed for the training of the National army, and nineteen aviation centers, most of which will be in the southern states, Texas, and California. The few fields to be retained in the north will be regarded as summer flying centers only. To Drop 27 Camps Twenty-seven camps and fifteen aviation fields will be abandoned. Orders already have gone out for the abandonment of twenty of the camps. Including nearly all the National Guard training centers set up after

the United States declared war on Germany. Construction work on the twenty-seven camps, according to War department figures, represents a cost of approximately $110,000,000, of which $3,000,000 was spent on the fou embarkation cantonments Mills in New York, Merritt in New Jersey, and ' Stuart and Hill of Newport Newc. CHEVROLET LEADS BECAUSE OF MOTOR "No other single feature of the Chevrolet passenger automobile has helped more to earn for them their worldwide popularity than the valve-in-head motor with which they are equipped. For when you consider the fact that the real worth of a motor car dpends largely upon its mechanical efficiency, it is easy to understand why the Chevrolet valve-in-head motor has made the Chevrolet synonymous for depend- . able and economical service." This Is the opinion of Fred Bethard, who handles this car. " There are thre types of internal combustion engines used in automo biles. They are known as the "L head, the "T" head and the Valve-in-Head.' While the fundamental prin ciples governing their operation are similar, their construction differs materially." "After each explosion of gasoline there Is left a residue of dead gases in the cylinder. In an "L" head or "I" head motor, these gases, to escape, must take a rather round-about course when they are pushed up by the piston head on its upward stroke after the expiosion. First, they travel to the valve chambers, and from there to the outlet, commonly known as the exhaust valve. As this valve opens for only the smallest fraction of a second, invariably in these types of motors, a portion of the gases falls to get out. Consequently they mix with tho next charge of.gasoline vapor and weaken it. In this way the force of the next explosion it weakened. . "In the Chevrolet valve-in-head motor, the exhaust valve is directly in the top of the cylinder. Consequently when the piston starts its upward stroke, these gases are forced directly through the exhaust valve. There are no corners for them to linger in. There are no pockets td retard their expulsion. Because of the location of the valve in this type of motor, the cylinders are always clean, and in each explosion every drop of gasoline contributes its maximum power. "To the man who is desirous of securing, besides economy of operation, a motor powerful enough to carry his car safely and surely over any and all of the rough or unimproved roads and long, hard hills which every motorist is apt to frequently encounter in the course of his travels, in all kinds of weather, the matter of the motor js again the all-important consideration. For upon its method of construction depends its power. "The Chevrolet valve-in-head motor was designed solely to meet the requirements of greater economy and power. As lor power and stamina, it js sufficient to sajMhese cars are making remarkable records for dependability and endurance." "Case tractors are always at your service, night and day. They never tire, and require no attention when idle. You will find them convenient, for many operations, and you can find work for thorn nearly every day in the year. They do innumerable belt and drawbar Jobs."

Dort Agent Favors Early Spring Baying "The spring rush of business got h start much sooner this season," says Clem McConaha. "This is a good thing for both dealer and customer," says McConaha, local distributor for Dort motor cars. "The usual thing has ben for the spring ouying season to start in almost full force, with the result that motorists were compelled in many cases to wait several weeks for deliveries, and dealers were unable to give attention and prompt fulfillment. "Because motor cars are manufactured 365 days in the year, it is impossible for a dealer to obtain sufficient cars to meet an abnormal demand and get them on hand for deliveries at a single time. However, the way buyers are getting their cars early" this year is going to make it much easier to handle, for deliveries wjl be spread over a considerable period. "Then, too, there is another angle which is a distinct advantage for the buyer. That is the fact that he is going to get mora use out of his car this year than in others. By buying early he gets more motoring out of the 1919 season, and I think you will agree that that is in advantage. "Personally, I would always buy early if I were a motorist. This year particularly I would buy early, for I believe that this year not only weather conditions, but the demand as opposed to the supply of automobiles makes such a course the better from good judgment."

Wide Use of Tracks Result of War Test After the war better roads and the universal use of the motor truck as a means of transportation. "That, in my opinion, sums up one of the major results to be gained from the great conflict," says R. II . Fetta, of the Weldex Co., Garford truck distributer. ."The motor truck has gone through the crucial test and come forth teeming with honors. Under the most unprecedented conditions it has proved its worth as a mode of transportation and the lessons we have learned will not be permitted to go unheeded. "Not only on the battlefield and to the rear as an important element in the service of supply have the advantages of the motor truck been demonstrated. When the railroad facilities of this country failed to cope with the demands made upon it, it was the motor truck which came to the rescue. Over the roads, .good or bad, great truck trains hauled supplies to the cantonments, to industrial institutions engaged in the production of war materials, and to the ports of embarkation, the gateways to the war zone. "The part that the truck played in the war does not now so greatly concern us it is the part that it is to play in the coming era of prosperity that demands our attention. "With the efficiency of the truck as a means of. transportation thoroughly established, and its necessity as a common carier admitted, it is time to turn to the subject of better roads. While it is true that they have demonstrated their ability to serve over roads torn by shell and where there were no roads at all, yet it was not for this that trucks were intended. "It behooves us to take advantage of the lessons we have learned and wa who are interested in good roads, foresee an era in which much stress will be placed upon their improvement. The influence of good" roads on social andeconomic conditions, upon the development of industrial and farming pursuits and the promotion of business is recognized in the majority of the communities of this country.

TONS OF WAR CURIOS SENT TO "FOLKS .' BACK HOME" BY YANKEES IN FRANCE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, , March 22. Since the American troops have stopped fighting they have taken to letter writing and remembering friends at home with souvenirs from the battlefields in France. This was Indicated today by a postoffice department announcement that the amount of mail from the American expeditionary force had increased more than twenty per cent since cessation of hostilities. The volume of souvenirs sent back to the United States by parcels post may be measured by the ton, the department asserted, and they contain all manner of odds and ends. Curios sent most by the soldiers are shell cases, parts of rifles and revolvers, bayonets, uniform buttons and small fragments of demolished airplanes. Captured German helmets, however are the most prized token. Nearly 500,000 of these have come through the mail since the war began. Postal requirements have been relaxed so they can be sent unwrapped with only a shipping tag for the address. Soldiers who can not obtain souve

nirs to send to all their friends at home, content themselves with letler writing. During November, nearly 18,000,000 letters were . dispatched from Bordeaux, and many millions more from Brest. Since that time the. mail shipments have been increasing' steadily, and in February nearly 22,000,000 letters were sent from Bordeaux alone. Frequently 12 to 15 letters a day have been sent by a soldier and one private established a record by writing thirty in a single day. Postal officials, said today there was not much prospect of the homebound mail becoming less, even though thousands of soldiers are returning daily to this country. As the number coming home increases, they declare the impulse to write becomes stronger among those who remain. Mail from this country to the troops overseas is now being delivered with few delays, the officials said, since addresses of soldiers are not changed so often as before the armistice. Improper addressing of the mail is now the only trouble, it was stated.
