OREGON IKTItOIT, Mich., Feb. 18. An other Me manufacturlriK unit has Just been opened at the Itiver IIoukc plant of the Fore! Motor Company.

Motors are assembled on four conveyor lines, each 2W8 feet in lcnmh, and Ihe jilant working at capacity can produce 9.UUU completed motors a day operating in two eiKht-hour shifts. Assem bly of the transmission and the manufacture of numerous parts also are carried on new building. Transfer of Ihe motor assembly from Highland Park to the new building at the Itiver Rouge brings closer relationship in this phase of Ihe company's production cycle, and manufacture proceeds Utlir- UySjl fj CbTGRiTREE jfr rssmk Slips, mw . the hill at speed, according to Manning, of fifteen miles per hour.

I'aHsing of the Ford engine sembly line takes from the High land I'ark plant and the scene of its origin, one of Its most pictur esque and interesting departments, one which was a never-ending marvel to the thousands who an nually visit this great automobile manufacturing Inst it ution. Since the first small motor as sembly line was put into operation, I when the Ford conveyor system was Inaugurated back In 1911, nearly eleven million Model T, Ford motors hnv be n assembled , in the Highland Park plant and i sent to all parts of the world. , ) As production demands grew ad ditional assembly Hues were insial- i b'd and when the drpariment i closed at the Hiuhland I'ark plant moriors were being assembled on , four conveyor lines, each llo fei t long.

I (urine the recent Chicago auto mobile thow 1.107 Chevrolets were j sold a record which has never be fore been equalled by any car ex hibited at this show during the same period of time. In New York during the automo as- j ,iit. show, where the new Chevro let was shown for the nrsi nine. five times as many orders were I taken during any previous New York show. At the Detroit, Cleveland. Phlla ! delphia and other shows in the llaruer centers of population held I previous to the Chicago show, sim-; ilar high records of sales werej ! made. "Such sales records mado, not j only at the automobile shows, but ; I bv dealers throughout the country ,are indicative of the public aecop- i taiice of the new Chevrolet," : j polnU out H. II. Grant, general j sales manager. , "In mativ cases, before the d'-al- ers refeived some of the models these cars wen purchased from specifications and photographs on Iv." he comments. "The reasou for this nalional acceptance lies in the fact that the new Chevrolet com bines greater quality at lower cost than ever before." m ' Resting peacefully among the relics of the war at National Headquarters of the American Red Cross, an old Iulc!t ambulance stands on permanent exhibit, - ai; evidence of faithful service of the Allies. It has every rirrht to be proud, for it served during the entire per iod of the war from 1!14 to 1!)1S. Day after day. month after month. it rushed back and forth between the first aid stations near the front line trenches and the clearing sta tions on the edge of the zone of fire. The Huh k stock chassis saw Its first real service with the Norton Harges Unit, Section 7, according to the American Ked Cross. Toward the latter part of 1917, when the fim ambulance units were replaced by organizations re cruited in this country, the liuick car was taken over by an Ameri can army unit. In .the great drive toward Paris'? in the spring of litis, when the line was pushed back in the Mou tididier sector, the ambulance was Captured, i It Is believed that the enemy made use of the car for a few months later, when the Twenty- Seventh and the Thirty-Second div isions of the American, army push ed forward, an American found the Huick in a Btorage park, shattered and wrecked. They hauled it back, crippled at it was, to a point of safety. There is considerable evidence of service under fire, the armor in front of the driving compartment and the body and sides hearing the marks of shrapnel and machine gun bullets. , The original body was similar to those used on the early French am bulances. It has been remodeled and repaired several times because of damage. Its pre.-eut peaked roof, no doubt, Is a creation of the en emy, as the French car of thi3 type had a curved roof as Indicated by a narrow strip which still re mains over the driver's seat. The bodv alone weighed1 mo're than the chassis was originally de signed to carry. And yet, it had accomodations for tw cases or five "stretcher cases, with room for two or three addi tional men on the driver's seat.
