SEABOARD TESTING MOTOR CAR RUN NEW SERVICE GIVEN ITS FIRS1 TEST ON RUN FROM HAMLET TO COLUMBIA. RESEMBLES STREET CAR Motor Car and Trailer Carry Seventy Five Passengers. Officials on Train. Columbia.-The Seaboard Air Line railway inaugurated a motor car ser. vice on the run from Hamlet to Co lumbia, the first of the gasoline mo tor cars to be operated on this run arriving at the Lincoln street static a few minutes behind schedule. The delay was caused by time lost in meet. ing another %in, it was said by offi cials who were making the trip w'tli the new service. Without smoke, without anise ex cept the clanging of the bell, smooth. ly, easily, the motor car arrived at the station. When it emerged from th. ,ut on Lincoln street, mea whc assembled at the station were sur prised at the appearance of the train as few knew the motor service had been started. The train, consisting of the motor car and one trailer, drew up easily to the station, the air brakes were applied and it came to a stop. A number of passengers detrained and the men around the station inspected the new outfit closely. In appearance the motor-propeled train resembles very closely a large street car, about e size of those that once ran frorp lumbia to Cai:u Jadkson, though of course the trolley pole is absent. Inside the resem blance to a street car is even mor) striking, especially in the trailer. The seats are arranged on each side of a middle aisle; electric light Is suppUed from overhead and warmth is supplied by a hot air system. The convenicniges usually found In the ordinary railway coach are provided for passensgers. The trailer. which was reserved for white passengers, has a seating ;a pacity of 36. The coach is of steel Jrame and is strongly built. The motor coach has a seating ca pacity of 30 persons and one section is cut of for baggage. The motor equiyment occjpled a comparatively small space in the car. The engineja of. the four-cylinder type, developsq herse-power and makes appi-oimaWe:Y six miles to the gallon of gasoline. 1' has six speeds forward and three back wards and can attain a speed of about 40 miles an hour, though the average speed was 35 miles.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL The Red Cross Roll Call, which will begin Armistice Day, November 11, and close with Thanksgiving Day, November 30, will marshal forces throughout the world under the slo gan "Every American Everywhere a member of the Red Cross." Under the leadership of John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, it is to be an intensive campaign from start to finish, that the organization may maintin its strength io carry out the obligations laid upon it by its'Congressional charter. The direct appeal for members is to be made for support of work in homes and in hospitals for disabled ex-service ' men and their families, for which some $10,000,000 will be spent thlis year in work the govern mdnt is not authoiized to do and for which no government funds are a vailable. This work is going on in virtually every community in th United States, through individual and sympathetic contact with the veter ans by Chapter workers. Three other important duties are also emphasized in the Red Cross program of activities-public health nursing service nursing for rural communities where adequate health facilities are lacking; preparedness for relief in disaster, famine, flood, epidemic, and the work of the Junior Red Cross at home and auroad in building up among children every where a spirit of mutual trust and confidence and the will for unselfish service. These are the outs -anding Red Cross services in a program which includes *despread instructin in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, in Nutrition, general health conser vation, First Aid, water life saving, production of Braille for the blind and the vast production of clohing for the needy Pt home and overseas by Chapter volunteers. A new field of attion in the ap proaching campaign will be a Roll Call on the high seas designed to reg ister members on every ship afloat or in the ports of the world in which merchant marine companies and ship captains have 'been enlisted and the cooperation of the U. S. Navy Depart mept obtained. The campaign in the insular possessions and; in foreign Clapters is also definitely planned with the view of increasing the en rollment. In joining the Red Cross this year the new member, as well as the old member renewing his membership, will receive a certificate of member ship ' to fit a, purle or card case in adiIon to the white- lutton bearing the symbolic cross in red. This certificate is the stub of a. fil ing card adopted by the Red Cross for the first complete system of reg istration of members in all the 3,300 active Chapters. The cards contain ing names, addresses and classes of membership will be retained as per manent records by the Chapters and as lists whereby it will be possible in the future-- for the Red Cross to keep in touch with its members for all emergencies, whether local, S'tate or national.' A series of posters impressively visualizing work of the American Red Cross have been designed by well known artists and these will be dis played in every nook and. corner- of the country. A special poster has also been designed for use by the Chapters overseas. A P'ed Cross worker's badge, new in this camnpair:n, will identify the solicitors in the Roll Call. The outlook for an increase inz mem bership, it was t'nanimously agreed at a recent conference of Red Cross Division managers at W ashmington,' is; extremely bright because of the pros pect of improved iomerciaLl anmd in dustrial conditions everywhe3re and because the public 4t large is nmow better informed as to the peace tirme obligations the Red 'ross is carryir~g out. The keynote among the Chapters is organization for the most effikient enrollment ever recorded by the Red Cross, many of the Chapiters adopt ing~ the residential cai'a'ss plan byI volunteer workers which in numerous ciies last year proved successful in RADIO RALF Spgou~O OF MY %ECOR9! 0EV~oEDFAST!
