Uncle Sam WantsY&u to Buy a Corf
- a
YOU are not one of those persons whose income has been cut down by the war. You' are making as much
money as you ever did, and probably more. Many pejons have suffered a reduction of their incomes,
but, as numerous as these persons may be, it is safe to say that they do not make up onertwentieth of the
country's population.
You, the chances are, are better off financially than you have ever been. You have earned this
money. Once upon a time, in "the good old irresponsible days" before the war, you might, therefore, have felt
that you had the right to spend this money in the way that would give you the most enjoyment, whether that way
was a "useful" way or not.
But you are not your own free man now. You are nobly troubled by the awakening of your consciousness
that your first thought must be for the nation, your second thought for yourself. And, with this conscious
ness in your mind and with your newly earned money in the bank, you ask yourself, "Ought I to buy an
automobile?"
Notice that there is no question in your mind as to your desire for an automobile. You know that you
need one. The only question is, Would Uncle Sam prefer that I keep my money in the bank?
"Well, that question is answered in eleven words:
If the Government objected, it would have said so before this.
Run along and don't worry your head over nothings! The gentlemen at the head of the nation's affairs
are wide awake. They know what they are about. They have repeatedly urged that the people of the United
States go about their businesses "until further orders." There will be no money for investment in Liberty Bonds
unless we do that very thing.
The automobile has proved itself so useful, in war times as well as in peace times, that the man who owns
one is doing more for the nation than the man who has none. You have got to be more efficient today than you
were last year. The automobile can double your efficiency.
For example: You need every minute of time. The automobile gets you to your destination more quickly
than any other form of transportation. Time is money.
For example: You need health. The automobile gives it to you.
For example: You need more business. The automobile brings it to you.
If there were no other reasons, these three are enough to establish the truth of the assertion that you are
doing more for your country when you own a car. No wonder "Uncle Sam wants you to buy a car"! He does!

Two Hundred Philadelphia Khaki - Cladl
Women Motor Messengers Serve the Gov

Br NAXCT WYNNE
THK day that eery one turned out
for the Liberty Bond parade was
tho first tlm I ever aw the Motor
Messengers "en mass," and like many
others I waa Inclined to be amused at
one struggling with a flat" and an
other carrying a banner. I thought
to rnj self, "these womn have a pretty
good time, all things considered," espe
cially as later In the day I saw one
who had atruBgled with th banner
that morning taking a most attractive
young English offlctr thither and yon,
wheresoever lie would.
Then I began to see thtm going here
and there vsitli car filled with pack
ages, and yesterday, bless ma If I did
not see a Motor Messenger driving the
Polyclinic Hospital ambulance. "This
looks like ork," thought T, and I
hied me up to the room occupied by
the Motor Messenger In th Emer
gency Aid Building, and there I found
Mrs. Henry Price Wright, who was
Edith Bayard, who Is Adjutant, taking
one request after another oer the
phone and handing out assignments
for work the next day to a number
of girls, who, dressed In khakl-oolored
suits and leather topcoats, were await
ing orders.
In ono comei of the toom was Mrs.
Ridgway Hellly, May Parsons that
was, working away on a small type
writer on the first report of the Asso
ciation, as if she'd been a stenographer
all her life; and In the few minutes X
was there one was assigned to stop
In tho morning at 9 o'clock at a house
In AVest Philadelphia for packages
which were to be delhered down on
Walnut Btrest at -one of the headquar
tero, and that same one was to collect
a number of things at that same ad
.drees and take them and a person
with them to the Station to ship them.
Another was ordered to report at one
of the Arsenals; and It went.
And as I listened I understood the
really great and efficient wsik these
women are doing.
AND do jou know, my deau, that
Xi there are about 00 members who
are working hard at this thing, that
they assembled all together out on the
Belmont Plateau on December 4 and
took tho oath of allegiance to the
United States, that thy are recog
nized and highly praltd by Wash

It Is truly remarkable.
I asked Mrs. Wright If she had any
Idea how many miles were coered by
these Messengers, and do jou know
each one reports the number of miles
covered each day7 She said, "In July,
when the men first began to go to the
camps, we averaged 3000 miles a week,
and from place to place we moed
black powder, pie plates, machine
guns, rifles, men, hospital supplies,
food, sandwiches, coffee In huge cans,
Indeed everything one could possibly
think of." "In.fact," thinks I, "Every
thing but the kitchen etoe."

The trend of car prlca, wrijeh has
