N. S. "Staff Correspondent.) . Washington, D. C, Aug. 2. National Defense Test Day on September 12 will undertake to demonstrate to the en tire world a new military defense system-7-a system based entirely on the community and while no men will be called to arms on that date each town and hamlet in the country will have the opportunity of showing the nation how, with not a single man in uniform today, it could raise and equip its quota tomorrow if an emergency arose. . j the large standing armies of other nations and the jgreat 7 materially from all others and is anything but "militaristic."

This is exclusive of the regular nrmy overseas garrisons, which In clude .a tactical division and staff troops in the Philippines, Hawaii and the Panama Canal Zone each, and infantry regiments in A'nska and Tientsin, Chinn. It is also exclu sive of the staff troops In tho United States the air service flying fields at juiueoia, i.ong island; llolling Field, D.

These troopj are not available in tactical divisions, and of tho 120,000 troops now in tho regular service only 50,000 enn bo counted on as divisional- troops In tho ' corps area Bcnequlo given above. most of them being 21 and 22 years of age, and there ore in France today more than 2,000,000 young men be tween 22 and 24 years of age who have completed at least two years of military training aince the World war, ill addition to the millions ot vet erans of that war. Japan maintains an active army of 250,000 men and as n result of her comrulsory training has more than 2,000,000 young men ready for immediate service. Small Regular Army. ' Opposed to these is our regular army of 120,000 men ; our national guard, whioh is wholly civilian and ' totals about 100,000 men, who drill on an average of one night a week, and some 70,000 reserve officers, who train only two weeks In every three vears. However, our "amateur de fense system is not In the interest of economy, for the compulsory system permits France to pay her soldiers only five cents a day and Japan six, whereas we must pay wages compnr able to those paid by comn-crcinl eon. corns, with whom the war department must compete for its personnel, Neither, according to the war de partment, do we claim that our vol untary system is more efficient; lor after four years of labor our-system has not produced anything like 2,000, 000 men thoroughly trained. The only explanation, says Sec retary of Wnr -Weeks, is that our country stands for a principle pure- . ly American, and Incorporated in that is a military system purely for de fonse. Our history proves that, our people insist on such a system, and, through the provisions of the national defense act, worked out by General Porshing, tie present system has been developed and will be demonstrated o the nation on September 12. "Workable" Poltoy. The national defense act takes our traditional military policy and makes it workable. As a nation the United Statos has always rolled upon a small regular army, to be augmented by huge citizen forces in the event of a nation al crisis. The system is this. The nation is divided into three army areas and nine cprpsarcas. In each corps nrea there are to be six divisions one reg ular army division (now only n skele ton); two national guard divisions (now recruited up to about 00 per cent strength), and three reserve divisions (somo of the officers of which have been appointed, but all of the enlisted men of which are to como from a selective service draft). As each of ' these tactical divisions numbers about 80.000 men, this would give h divi sional, corps and nrmy force of about 1,050,000 men, which, augmented by staff troops and const artillery, would bring the entire number to two Jillllon men. .v - , Hera It Problem. The problem confronting each community on September 12 will be this: The regiments, battalions and companies of all of these divisions are allocated to certain - comtnuuitleK. ' Over these communities, in charge of the work of organizing plans tor tho mobilisation in case of emergency.- are regular nrniy officers assigned to national guard or reserve work. The community will appoint a defense council. It will mobilize on pnpor Its resources. It will check the number of available young men In the com munity and estimate how many it could recruit on immediate notice. It will plan how these men will be fed, paid, clothed and drilled while training nt home. After this work hnB been done a report will be rendered to tho regular army officers In charge of the work in each corps area. These re ports will be compiled and forwarded to Washington, where tho entlro re port will be consolidated and tho suc cess of the system finally determined. The following schedule of the nine corps areas in the United Stale showing the states and districts to which each regular army, national 'guard and Reservo division ,ls allo cated, is being published exclusively today for the first time in the United States and upon this schedule the work of National Defense Test Day, September 12, will be built.

STATE MOSTLY DUE TO CARELESSNESS SALEM. Ore., Aug. 2. Out of a total of 01.10 automobile accidents re ported to, police officials in the state between January 1 and June 80, 1024, there ,wcre 0457 which resulted di rectly from carelessness on the rnrt of the drivers, dcclurcs n statement prepared by Secretary of State Sam A. Kobcr ,n copy of which is being sent , to every court Justice in the state charged with the duty of ad ministering state and municipal laws The statement iB tho first authentic compilation of causes of motor acci dents und Includes the reasons for traffic violations arrests during tho six months period, together with sug gestions for moro stringent applica tion of the traffic laws. Without making specific recommen dations as to how such n schedule should be compiled the report de clares, "it has been suggested that through general ngreem?nt among justices of the pence, district judges and police judges or recorders, who have jurisdiction of all violations of our motor vehlclo law, within their respective districts, uniform pennies might be imposed in like Infractions o.' (lie law regardless of tho pronnn enco or obscurity of the offender of ti e locality where the of'onse mar be given." The report quotes n recent nen paper edir.-iiol as "a suggestion lUnt is undoubtedly worthy of careful thought and consideration. The men ace of a more fine does not deter a speed maniac; -the menace of a day in Jail does deter. A stale conven tion, called for the purpose of 'stand ardizing' the penalty for excessive speeding would prepare tho way for permanent reform." y Vacation time is surely here. Tot many of the persons concerned in the various motor businesses of Eugene are finding jt most worth-while to take their vacations now. Of course, Oregon and its scenery, its mountains and its beach resorta are considered1 first by most of the folks from here. And to boast of local scenery, the various interesting daces nlnn th BlcKcnzie are getting their share of uie vacationists. , . . If it isn't time for the rerular an nual vacation, many of the motor business men find it eniovahle tn spent! tne week-ends near-by places. - - More than 2006 of the tourists' maps giving detailed information on the roads of Orezon. Wimhimrmn California and Nevada have been dis tributed by Brake! and White. The maps are published by the Hand Mc- Nally people. "The maps are popu lar with all tourists," declares Mr, White, adding, "tie local Chamber of Commerce says they are some of the Dest tourist maps on distribution." All's well again at the B'rakcl White . shop, For this past week Hay Walker of the battery department there returned from his vacation trip to Tia Juand and other places in the south. Mr. . Walker traveled more thon 2800 miles, and is more than proud of hia record made In his new Ford and with the Stromberg carburetor which aided him in making nn aver age of 20.8 miles to a gallon of gaso line. , ..' August is going to be a month to remember for tho Western Auto Supply company. For Friday saw the start of the month of camp goods specials. All the folks' of the firm are preparing for the big sale on ciuno goods. All the equipment, devices, and equipment that campers and motorists need to make their trips worth-while will be included in the big speciul. "Know your own state,", seems to be the motto of the same company. f or this past week a Buppiy of maps on Oregon and. Its roads arrived at the place, , A map of Portland is also included. her honor the company gave -a picnic liis past week.

Oh, no, I -was riding around in the air on a set of balloon tlrcB, so 1 missed all bue trouble,' he said. When the B and M people started work the first of the week they found their stock of tires quite depleted. They were much relieved to get in a new shipment. They soy they are having some trouble in getting' tires in some sizes now, as there is such nn increnscd demnud for them. Especially did tiiey mention n shortage in the 30zU Goodrich balloon tires. e At lost! The 1025 Maxwell in all its glory arrived at the G. C. Mbir Motor company the Inst of this week.

State Fair Park speedwnv. here wis the scene of one of. tho most unique races held , in that city in several years, on the occasion of the annual 100 mile rme, recently. Citizens of the former hrewery city seem to have transferred their tastes to automobile racing, as approximately 35,000 people were in attendance. There were two races during the day. The 100 mile race, which was the chief attraction, was paced by a Jewett touring car for the first mile at a speed of over 00 miles per hour, according to Frank L. O'Brien, in the Milwaukee Sentinel. After this race was won by Jack Mattes, in a Fronty; six touring cars of prominent makes, inciutluig one eignt'Cyuwier automobile better known thnn others in its class, lined up at the Btarting line for-a slow race in high gear. The distance was one-eighth mile. This -was won by the rame Jewett which had paced the' 100 mile race. The time was four minutes, twenty eight and four-fifth seconds. This is nti average of about a mile and a half an hour. EGYPT PREFERS AMERICAN AUTOS Cairo, Egypt. (By Tlie Associ ated Tress.)

Of this number, 390 were of American make. 5 BROTHERS HAVE 5 CARS WOMEN GOOD CAMPERS Former Hardships Have Been Eliminated and They Enjoy Camping - !a m b a ssados By inns. c. M. UREY (Western Auto Supply Company) Up until a few years ago camping was considered a man's recreation. The .hardships entailed with a camping trip were so severe that the women refused to forsake the comforts of her front porch for a week-end or even a day in the open. With the advent of comfortable camping equipment came tho desire to share with the men, tho pleas ures, health and enjoyment of out door life, v Women were quick to realize the advantages of getting away from tho home duties. The thorough relaxation afforded by vacation amid nature's beauty spots ; the test, added energy and vitality with which she attacks her dally home-life routine upon the re turn from such a vacation force fully brought home to the woman the absolute necessity of making at least one camping trip a season Woman, because of her better un derstanding of nature and all its wonders, because of her greater ap preclntlon for all things that are beautiful; because she is generally sentimentalist; because she sees the smaller things In nature that man usually either overlooks or considers commonplace, Bhe enjoys her outdoor, vacation more than a man. If we look upon tho other side of the picture and see the commercial end of the camping business, wo realize that because of quantity. production everyone, Irrespective' of their station In life, can- afford,. to take la-.-modern outdoor vacation. Beginning with the tents, the im provised home whilo living undar tho blue skies of heaven and tho twinkling stars at night, we find that wo can , procure almost any kind and style conceivable. Wo find that by applying the feminine touch we can make tho temporary home as cheerful, as comfortable, as our own front parlor. Because of the screened windows, the toilet article, pockets, , the special flaps, women now have as much privacy In their tent as they would In their own bedroom. ' " Then there are the' Bmaller things,- all necessities -which tend to add to her comfort; the gasoline stove, which is such a marked im provement over the old camp fire; the gasoline lantern, which turns night into day; the tourist cabinet which serves as a conveyor of food and a table when open, the alumi num cooking utensils, so arranged hat -onB --pot telescopes Into its neighbor; the beds, good as the ones at home; the mattress, either silk or cotton stuffed: tho folding tables, luggage carriers, and many other items manufactured for camping trips; all so arranged so as to fold compactly light In weight, yot durahle and substantial. To set up or take down this equip ment Is' the work of a child. Women, camping enthusiasts, you who appreciate the many advant ages of outdoor life, you who have seen and photographed and mar veled at the wonders of Mother Nature, should make It a point to convert at-least one "stay-at-home" this season she will be ever grate ful. - v -- The Western Auto Supply com pany has specialized In equipment for the camp which appeais to wom an's sense of comfort and economy. You should see 'their equipment be fore starting on your trip,4;. STATESREUTIl WITHIXK T ELECT OFFICERS Present officers and directors of Dodcre Brothers. Inc.. with the ex ceptton of the chairman of the board, were re-elected at the an nual meeting of the stockholders. A resolution was passed abolishing this office. Russell Huff, for neat ly ten years chief engineer of Dodffe Brothers, was electee as a new member of the board. The stockholders felt that the ad dftion of Mr. Huff to the board would strengthen it materially in view of his long experience as an automotive engineer of the highest standing.

Electricity Used To Drive Ferry One of tic most unusual applica tions of electric power to the work of the world is the electric ferry on the Willamette river nt Independence. OroRon. It operates from a over head trolley, 120O feet in length, spanning the river, and displaced an old gasoline engine drive. The installation consists of a two- horsepower motor, direct-connected to the gear parts of a Fonlson tractor, which operates side wheels by means of a chain drive. With the old style drive the ferry required 20 minutes for the round i trip, and the operating cost was $lo : month. I nder electric opcrntion, the round trip time has been reduced j to two minutes, and the operating cost to JS0 a month. Current for the ferry is furnished by the Mountain States Tower company. Mrs. U. Tj. Holmes of San Jose escaped uninjured. Mrs. Holmes, who believed her baby had been dnshed t death attempted to throw herself over the cliff after she had vainly tried to throw in the brakes of the car. She was restrained and searchers found the ciiild unlrurt. The car was com pletely wrecked. iji-.ritui-r. j pi, . though negotiations relatl!"1 new treaty of amitv and 1 between tho United St.?..
