For Mr. Charles Kellogg, known to vaudeville lYancisco Bay as the "Bord-Voived Franciso Bay as the "Bird-Voiced Man?' has evolved a motor bungalow by; mounting the trunk of a giant Cali fornia redwood 11 feet in diameter and 22 'feet long on the sturdy chas sis 6f a Nash Quad truck.

K. Robert, the automobile, as also the motor truck, was classed as luxuries the same as musical instruments, motion picture houses and jewelry, and a gross tax of three per cent was levied on the idustry. This action was the result of an attitude of a large num ber of men toward the automobile since the beginning of the war, which led them to believe that motor cars were nonessentials and should suffer any restrictions that seemed lo bo necessary to the maintenance of other lines of commerce which, in their op inion, was more important to the gov ernment during the war. All the rough handling the motor vMr.' Kellogg's "travel-log- has all' T l1(Wr ha. suffered can be read- the conveniences and comforts of tho;jlv explalBed through the lack of un- nnwt HTO-going yacui. iuc iriprstaiidlmr of what the automobile is beautifully designed, embodying three - beds, a full size clothes closet, kitchenette, folding lavatory, dinina; space and eight large lockers for food and . clothing.

Max well truck with its one ton of gro ceries arriving at Atlanta from New York without -a single mishap of any conseuence during the 1,500-mile run, according to The Gergian. "It has been a remarkable revela tion of road ability, dependability, economy and sturdiness' declared James A. Hemstreet, technical obser ver for the American Automobile As sociation, who was a passenger on the truck during it's run. The Maxwell left New York with a ton of groceries fro ma New York wholesale hose for delivery to the Louisville and Nash ville warehouses in Atlanta. So well had the Maxwell stood the long, hard grind, that a one ton load of shoes was collected in Atlanta and the truck sent southward to Jack sonville to show its ability over tho loose sand roads of Georgia and Flor ida. It is the biggest road proving-up test ever undertaken by a truck. All army camps located near the roads traveled by the truck were vis ited.

No one has paid much attention to what the ne gro "mammies" and educated black women of America are doing to help win the war, but they're doing thei? share just the same. Parallelling the work and organi zations of white women in the South ern branches of the Women's Com mittee of the Council of National de fense, the colored women are keep ing even, and in some instances a jump or two ahead of the procession. "The colored women," said a mem ber of the National Derense Coun cil's Woman's Committee today, "are valuable members of the women's army of America. "They too, have their men in the war, and are anxious and well able to do their part. They work under their own leaders and often have their own units. ' Tennessee is vplan ning to organize the entire State in separate units and to encourage them to train for nursing.

Of himself, Monty tells nothing, but if one has time to pause and listen, his comments on others are often in teresting. "See that chap," he says, referring to a youth, with a pointed hat that makes him appear as a sharpened pen cil, with his hair shaved about his earar and with trousers so short as to show some inches of filmy hosiery. "He makes one grieve over the good old times when men were more cre dulous ; you will note that he wears socks." One replies that every one is supposed to do that. "Not on your life," Monty answers. "They used to, but not now. Don't you see he has to prove it by turning up his trousers." A portly individual built on a Fai stafflan pattern comes along. It would not take a Sherlock Holmes to deduce that he is not . pleased with the world. He wears a scowl, as he draws his coat about him. Monty smiles. "And such a little thlng.too," he says. "What?" one asks. 'A collar button, I fancy. Did you ever study closely the nature of a col lar button. They're the wildest thing In captivity.

Before a question can be put, as to this line of reasoning, another pedes trian, a lady, this time, passes by. She is evidently on business bent. A roll of magazines is under one arm, the other hand holds a note book from which a gold pencil swings jauntily. "Another reminder of things that have changed," he says. Milady sells magazines now," he continues, "used to be books. Two of them. One was always Golden Gems, and the other Etiquette. "Golden Gems was usually ln red with a sun ablaze in the center and further embellished with a bunch of shining cupids blowing trumpets. Its Insides was all poetry.
