"Out of the gutters by Christmas" is the slogan of the 1st Motor Corps of the State Guard, which is now bringing order out of the chaos of Boston's zig-zag traffic. Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Decrow '04 heads this volunteer corps, and was one of those most prominent in its formation when the 1st Cadet Corps was mustered into the Regular Army, and the 1st Motor Corps was formed to take its place.
On the roster of this organization are the names of many Harvard men, who spend most of their time guiding traffic, chasing jay walkers off the street, scribbling down automobile numbers, and enduring "K. P."
On the staff of Colonel Decrow, commander of the Motor Corps, are Major Charles C. Foster '80, who was a major of volunteers in '98, now staff surgeon; Captain Robert M. Green '02, assistant surgeon, and Captain W. B. Stearns '90.
