every loyal American that he has a
part to play, I began to feel that I
should be doing, or at least trying to
do, something for my country in this
crisis.
"At first my intention was to resign
the position I have held so long and
offer myself to the government
"Mr. Scott, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Reo . company,
when advised of my plan said, 'You do
not crave a uniform or a military
title, do you? You simply want a
job of work in the interests of better
efficiency.'
"I told him that was my aim, but
I didn't see how I could be of much
use unless I offered myself wholly and
gave all my time to the work.
"He then said that the Reo Motor
Car company felt just as patriotic as I
could possibly feel and that the com

dition pay my salary and expenses for
the duration of the war.
"So I am in Washington co-operat

automobile engineers in working out
a standardized light truck and other
war equipment.
Those who know Reo -engineering
know that it is sound engineering and
it is good to feel that our government
