A STIFF gale and n turbulent sea

Stewart's Exclusive Simplicity
Saves $200 to $300
OWNERS get it in the purchase price. They
realize the advantage in every mile of use in .
reduced operating and maintenance cost.
From 600 to 700 parts have been eliminated, the
heaviest from the unsprung weight, when an
extra pound counts more in decreased efficiency
than many times that weight carried as a load.
This is a Stewart advantage that accounts for
- their use by more than 200 lines of business. Even
the first 50 built are still rendering uninterrupted
economical service though in use for more than 5
years. In that time no Stewart has worn out.
Individual users have fleets of from 5 to 50
Stewarts. Many use Stewarts only.
Eliminate all your truck hazards by using
Stewarts. There is a model for 'every need from
that of a ton to a 3l2 ton capacity and in every
one 92 of the motor power reaches the rear
tires. No wdste in power means no waste in '
gasoline or tires.

wabbllng unsteadily across the slippery
boards and tip the swaying Iron stair
ways, in which there is no purchase for
hob-nailed shoes; the balancing of
laden messkits and splashy cups, when
the owner thereof needed both hands
and some claws and a gyroscope to bal
ance himself; the tense, set expressions
on unshaven faces; the fatal slip, and
Blop of spilled "slum" and coffee and
the hilarious laughter; the despair over
bread blown nway by the wind; the
wrath over hot coffee dropped down
one's neck; the disgust nt treading on
a Wienerwurst; the determination to
find a place to flop, and joy, because
here's two Inches on the starboard rail
somebody overlooked.
Friday, Mny 23 This, the fifth day
out, found the home-goers wearied.
Grouches appeared. Snappy answers
were the fruit of cheery remarks. Men
lying on the deck resented being stepped
upon. Plainly human flesh wns tired
of being hemmed in, cramped, jostled In
the center of n never-ending ocean. The
sea was calm. The sky leaked a fine
dampening drizzle. Alwa.vs cool, the
weather had become cold bv virtue of
the wind, which hnd veered around to
the northeost. The decks were wet.
There wns no place to sit down. No
body was allowed below except those
who were cleaning the bunkrooms. The
snllors' hoses were splashing more water
thaa usual. The guards were more
testy and officious. The sergeants in
chnrgc of details were snappier; the
soldier coal passers grovvlrd and grum
bled. The officers were eating turkey
mid smoking expensive gift cigarettes,
nnd we weren't. The Kroonland was a
slow old tub, anyway.
Heading and Song Antidotes
Such n deplorable state of mind for
tunately had its antidote. Heading mat
ter helped. Hooks f 10111 the ship library,
magazines, newspapers were read,
passed around and reread Out cuine
old letters nnd decks of cards. The
Italians, of whom there were a-plenty
In the .104th Tngincers, found solace In
their animated finger guessing game,
morrn (I doubt tlie spelling of this
word.)
Hut the natural reaction against the
gloom of monotony brightened forth in
that grent comforter of tlie fighting
man, song. During the afternoon little
groups formed to wear away the hours
with the nrmy ballads, the best of which
arc unprintable. There were the
scntimcnal songs, full of harmony,
like "The Sunshine of Your Smile"
nnd "I'm sorry I made You Cry," and
catching ljrics like "Mademoiselles
From Har-le-Duc" (one of the ncver-to-be-publisbed
versions of the "I'nr-
lcz-Vous" .song that swept through the I
A. T. T.) ; and, finally that old favor-
ite, extoling the
"doughbiij" for all his
suffering:

Saturday May 124 A strict inspec
tion of the ship from bow to stern
more detniled than the daily nll-morn-
ing examination of tlie bunk rooms
iiiil
was held, anil at the same time prep
arations got under way for the vessel's
entry into port. A twelve-foot wooden
shlcl was constructed, and, upon It
Master Knglnccr Wlnfred Lnmbln, 01
North Dearborn street, of the 304th
Tngincers, painted tho division's Inslg
nln a gray trcfollcd Lorraine cross,
upon a gray-bordered Bhlcld of blue, the
emblem to be suspended aloft to give
notice to all that It Is the gallant Seventy-ninth
sailing home (all divisions
thus far returned borne have been
heroic, noted, glorious or fnr-famed,
so that It Isn't too much to claim that
the Seventy-ninth Is gallant).
Earned Symbol of Triumph
In this way the Seventy-ninth Divi
sion will bring home the concrete sym
bol of triumph, which It earned In al
most two months of hard fighting over
the hilly, war-wasted lands of French
Lorraine, on both sides of the Mouse.
The cross is n symbol of triumph as
well known in France as the fleur de Us
or Joan of Arc, nnd here is something
that has been omitted from every offi
cial description of the divisional Insig
nia the colors arc blue, for the boys
of the Seventy-ninth whose blood came
from the Union, and gray, for the boys
of the Seventy-ninth whose blood came
from the Confederacy.
There is n sort of myth among the
"doughboys" that the cioss is n deco
ration conferred on the division by the
French Government. That is not how it
originated. Here Is the story ; '
One day shortly after the armistice,
Lieutenant Colonel J. II. Steinmnn, of
Lancaster, Pa., the division adjutant,
went to Hnr-lc-Duc, where the Lor-i
rninc cross is a commercial nrticle,
there being n "Croix de Lorraine"
brand of beer nnd numberless little
trinkets in which the double-armed
cross figures. Colonel Steinmnn bought
a little Lorraine cross pendant ns a
souvenir nnd brought it back to head
quarters and suggested it as a solution
of the problem of what insignia the di
vision should ndopt, nnd from this sug
gestion the design was made.
Smoke to North Sighted
During the afternoon of this, the sixth
full day nt sea, a smoke wns picked up
on the horizon to the north. Whereas
all other smokes hud been those of
ships going east, this one hung on the
horizon nil nfternoon, indicating that
the vessel was going in our direction.
That solitarj wisp of black wns watched
by hundreds of pairs of eyes, when
word came down from the bridge that
it wns the IT. S. S. Texan, which sailed

Applying More Pull Here
WHERE the rear wheels of your truck engage the road, right
there Atlaritic Gasoline applies terrific force. One of two
things must give way, either the load or the road. For wherever
wheels can get traction, Atlantic Gasoline supplies abundant power
to move massive loads with ease and agility.
First of all, Atlantic Gasoline is no ordinary motor-fuel. Not
by any manner of means. It is most extraordinary. It is in a class,
by itself and at the head of the class. N -
Just as you cannot get more water out of a bucket than you put'
into it, so you cannot get more power out of a motor-fuel than is
put into it ' f
A highly skilled organization of refiners charge Atlantic Gasoline
with potential power to the absolute limit. It is for your drivers to"
extract mat power when they shift the throttle, or step on the
accelerator.
