AUTO HAS NOT
ELUTED THE
0. S. m MULE
American Roads Not Up to the
Standard of Germany, France
and Belgium, Therefore the
Mule is Still Usable.
Washington—Th<* American army mule
need have no fear for hi* laurels be
caue<» of the preat part gasoline motors
have played in transportation problems
of European armies in the war.
Until American roads generally are
brought up to the high standard of the
roads of Germany. France, Belgium and
other European countries, the army mule
will determine through his capacity for
haiuling the limitation of operations for
American military forces
Only one branch of the United States
army is giving serious attention to mo
tor fraction. In the quartermaster's de
partment exp rlments ate being made,
particularly along the Texas border
tvith handling supplies in motor trucks
Motor trucks are In general use, of
course, about army posts and wherever
good roads are Available; but when man
euvers take the columns Into the field
end the sandy or muddy country roads,
where mere wheel tracks across the
country are the only highways, the six
mule team is still mwtrt 1 of the trans
portation situation.
Experiment.
A few years ago it was determined to
experiment with motor transportation
as a means to increase the radius of
field artillery. The most available sub
ject far this purpose was the battery
wagon, earthing the forges for gun re
pairs and horse shoeing and also the
waddlar's equipment. One such wagon
eeoompanlen every battery of artillery
Jn the field. 11 trails along in the rear
of the column end does not go Into ac
ttfton. Thus Us activities are largely
confined to roads although the battery
Itself must go crons lots by field and
•trearn to take postilons against an ap
proaching hostile force.
Otneral Or Of Ur, thief of the army
ordnance bureau, designed a motor bat
tery wagon whicn waa tried out In man
euver*. It proved a flat failure frtr It
tye* so heavy that It broke through
bridges and sunk to the hubs in soft
roads and generally hampered the bat
tery to which It was attached. The ex
periment was abandoned *nd the ord
nance bureau is now content to swslt
the results of tho experiments of the
quartermaster's department in self-pro
pelled army transportation units. Mules
«nd horses are good enough for Ain er
ica n artillerymen as yet.
Heavy Siege Pieces.
In connection with the newest heavy
flege pieces designed for the American
array it was proposd recently to experi
ment with European gasoline traction
engines Arrangements were under way
for the importation of one of these nt
the time the European war broke out
Now every engine of that character has
been turned to actual use abroad and
Instead of importing automobiles or mo
tor trucks, the United Htntes is shipping
them abroad for the use of armies there
In many ways, army officers believe,
the present war will have little effect
on the development of American rnlli
tnrv transportation equipment. The
armies of nermsny, France, and to some
extent England are equipped to fight In
the hlghlv developed territory which is
the present theatre of war. Transfer
them to the interior of the United Htatos
and the greater part of their motor
equipment and much of their heavy ar
tlller' would be found almost useless, it
Is said.

WHAT THANKSGIVING
DINNER Ml COST
Dressed Turkeys 24 Cents Per
Pound and Live Turkeys at
18 Cents. Hundreds Turkeys
Being Killed.
Hundreds of turkeys are being
slaughtered In Augusta for the great
day tomorrow, Thanksgiving.
The European eonfllct will go a long
ways this year towards showing the
people what they have to be thankful
for.
A Thanksgiving dinner would be
considered Incomplete without the
turkey.
The following is a tabulation of the
prices paid for some of the things
that go to make up the dinner whicn
will be served In many an Augusta
home tnworrow:
lAve Turkeys, per pound, TNc„ dress
ed, 24c. Cranberries, quart, 10c to
12 l-2c. Celery, per bunch, 10c.
Pumpkins, 10c. Plum pudding, can,
10c., 25 c. and 50c, Mixed nuts, per
pound, 20c. Crape fruit, 3 for 25c.
Five pound fruit cake, $1.40. Fancy
rakes, pound, 20c. Orange* 15c to 25c.
a dozen.
There are many other things that
could be added to this list. However,
as the above things go a long ways
towards making up the dinner, giving
one an Idea, the whole list ts not quot
ed. It varies, therefore It would be
useless to print the Incidentals, mere
ly the main things are mentioned.
And remember the day Is not only
set aside to feast, but to offer thanks
as well.
Speaking
.. THE...
Public Mind
To The Herald:
The following clipping from a morn
ing paper quoted from the Douglas En
terprise is so quaint and delicious that
I must needs crave a few lines from
you to enlarge upon It:
Douglas Enterprise: The dally
papers are gradually transferring
the war news to inside pages. It
has become secondary and in a few
months will be the least read of
any news matter.
I cannot Imagine exactly In what
spirit the morning paper quotes this
delectable morsel, hut I am ever so
much obliged to them for extricating
it for .me. If It had remained in the
timber I might never have known that
the enterprising city of Douglas looked
with disfavor upon the war. It is to
be presumed that the larger Interests
of Douglas consider that too much
prominence and publicity Is being given
to the quarrelsome doings of all those
little countries, England, Germany,
France, Russia, etc., etc. The future
historians of Douglas resent being
bothered with all this mass of printed
matter every day, when there are so
many Important things to be recorded.
What difference does It make to them,
after all?
But I do think it's right amusing,
don't you? It's really rather sweet.
It's a long, long way from Douglas
to Tipperary.
CALL IT REST HAVEN.
Augusta, Ga„ 11, 24, 1914.
To the Herald:
1 have read so much concerning an
appropriate name for the new ceme
tery, that I am offering "Rest Haven"
as n name for the last resting place
for our loved ones.
MRS. R. W.
To The Herald:
May I suggest through your "Public
Mind" column that the controversy
regarding the naming of our cemetery
be dropped? It Is such a dead old sub
ject—no life to It.

"A* w* all know." he said, “funda

Exports Increasing Rapidly.
"These agencies have restored for

THANKSGIVING CLASH
OF CLEMSON-TECH
Atlanta, Ga.— Tomorrow's football
game between Georgia Tech and
Clemson probably will be the last
Thanksgiving Day contest between
the two colleges, the five-year con
tract having pxpired. It is considered
likely that next year the Turkey Day
fight will be between Tech and Au
burn.
The Clemson Thanksgiving Day
game, it Is said, has been scheduled for
financial reasons. Tech-Auburn or
Tech-Georgia will draw a crowd on
any old day, and most any game will
draw n. crowd on Thanksgiving. But
there has been dissatisfaction with
the arrangement, as Clemson has few
graduates in Atlanta, is hardly con
sidered as a rival for Tech, and the
game Is popular only because there’s
nothing else to do after a Thanksgiv
ing Day dinner.
VANDY-SEWANEE MEET IN
26TH CONTEST TOMORROW
Nashville, Tenn. —Vanderbilt and
Sewanee football teams will meet

typical of Thanksgivng contests.

Atlanta.
October 23rd—Virginia, place unde
cided.
October 30th—Auburn in Athens.
Thanksgiving Day—Clemson in
Athens.
It also was stated that representa
tives of Georgia Tech, Auburn and
Georgia will meet here on October
30th, 1915, to sign contracts for three

tracts with Georgia Tech and Auburn
are for one year only.
