CHANCE FOR AUTO DRIVERS

Red Cross Establishes School to Train

Men for Overseas

Duty.

Chicago,—Following an urgent call

from France for Red Cross drivers and

mechanics, the American Red Cross

created the automotive and mechanical

bureau and established its general

headquarters in Chicago. They also

selected Chicago as the permanent lo-

cation for their training camp and bar-

racks, known as Camp Scott, 6046 Cot-

tage Grove avenue. This camp is un-

der the direction of Maj. H. P. Hard-

ing, a well-known automotive engineer

of Chicago.

In order to send men for overseas

duty as soon as possible, and at the

same time make them thoroughly com-

petent in their work, a rigid course of

training, lasting about four weeks, is

given.

At the barracks there is a complete

workshop and the men are required to

take machines apart and rebuild them.

Competent instructors are always at

hand to explain the functions of all

parts. Demonstrations of all possible

accidents and breakdowns are given

and the quickest methods of repairing

are shown.

Sixty dollars a month and mainte-

nance is paid while overseas and half

pay and maintenance while in train-

ing.

As department is open for men un-

der eighteen years of age and over for-

ty for those in class 5, 4, 3, 2.

Applicant must have one year's experi-

ence in driving.
