Great Lakes, 111.—The value of tho
enlisted man in the United States
Navy is going up. Since the United
States entered the world war, the
Dr. Thornbur gh says That the actual
cost of the equipment was: approxi-
mately fifty dollars. But that puts his
-labor and ingenuity- in for nothing. To
have had the carmade 10" ......
have cost set eral hundred dollars. The
only regret ‘of. Dr. Thornburgh is that
he had no time to fit out the car with
A shower bath. The magic carpet of
the Arabis n Nights had nothing on
the doctors. For the activities of the
carpet We re confined to transporting
room, kitchen and sleeping borth all
within the confiueh of one Amal auto-
mobile, and the-dliferent appartmentA
are interchangeable by the simple pro-
Ceas of pressing a button, or some,
such device. ------.

order would and possibly The Great, Takes, and

perhaps three: During hia-absence. Dr.

newest recruit has the satisfactory
feeling of being the highest paid fight-
ing man of any namon in the world.
For those more experrenced promotion
is so rapid that, as one man at the
United States Naval Training Station
here expressed it, he never knows in
the morning who will have to salute
him as a superior before eight bells
announce the close of the day’s work.
■ Removal of “dead wood” in high
commands and .the advancement of
young blood” to obtain vigorous ac-
ton has been a feature of every war.
Much,noise has been made when an
admiral was scrapped, but little at
tention paid to the rank and file, and
yet promotions of enlisted men have
been frequent and more rapid than the
progress- in grade of commissioned of- -
ficers
Take the case of a chief yeoman -at
the station here ranking as chief petty,
officer with salary and allowance of
something more than $100 a month.
Less than a year ago he was sworn
into the first line of defense. In eleven
months, be lias won promotion that
before the, declaration of- war could
not have been gained in less time than
iwoenlistments of four years each.
There is another man who won a
commission as ensign in less than a
, z.iu year, but ho previously had served.in
10 2.12 the navy end accordingly had the bene
- - fit of one enlistment: However, it is a J.
topic for thought that having re-en-
listed as a fireman, first class, he
transferred to the yeoman, or clerical,
department with a second class rating,
and soon thereafter won his gold stripe
Another man, having been in the
hotel business, wanted to do his bit
in the war and signed a contract with
Uncle Sam as an enlisted man in the
navy. He demonstrated his ability in
the commissary line and in a matter
of weeks became chief commissary-
steward. The example might be mul-
tiplied almost indefinitely. -
The rawest recruit of the American
navy now is paid $32 a month. As he

of the civilian harassed by $2.50 wheat

the 9,000 prospective fighting men
helped out their country to.the extent
of $700,000.
Officers and men say the growing
wealth of the enlisted men and the
greater opportunity for advancement
is due to the war. As the naval estab-

more and more call for men who keep

DR. THORNBURGH BUILDS
VACATION TOURING-CAR
With Family Plane Tour of That Will
Continue Nearly Two
Months
Dr. P. E Thornburgh has built a
vacation touring car in which he will
start forColorado tomorrow with his
family. Dr. Thornburg bought a Max
well car, and dismounted the body of
• sit, replacing it- with one of his own
design and construction, built to suit
• the needs of the most”fastidious tour,
list. There la nothing that could be
needed on the vacation that the car
I cannot carry. On the right running
board is the ice box, and provision
chest, to which is attached a myster-
ious arrangement, which, upon require-
ment becomes a dining table. On. the
left running board are the tool chest,
batteries, and cheat for cooking uten-
sils, all in one compact box. At the
rear of the car, behind the seat, la a
trunk for colthes, a mattress, a tent,
tent poles, and gasoline tank; the
whole covered by a neat black can-
vass. The seat is so arranged thatalt-
can be let down level with the floor of
the car, and the mattress is then
spread for the night. The car pre-
presents the appearance of an ordin-
embedded back of the tread effectu-
