One American Plant
' By Arthur Brisbane I

MILAUKEE. May 1 7 Am
erica is the country of oppor
tunity, and Milwaukee is one of
the best American cities. All
over America are opportunities,
visible to the majority, when it
is too late to seize them. What
everybody knows is not so val
uable. ,
For instance, consider the
baby carriage business that C.
J. Smith managed in Milwau
kee up to 1887.
$50,000 would have bought
T it. A. O. Smith inherited it, and
made bicycle parts,
In 1904 the A. O. Smith
corporation was formed and L.
; R. Smith, grandson of C. J.
took charge. His father put
$85,000 and others put $95.
000 more into the corporation.
" .'.'-., .
L. R., Smith did new things,
making frames for automobiles,
keeping up with the times, and
ahead of them.
Time passed, and in 1923 J.
E. Uihlein advised this writer
and other friends "buy stock in
the A .O. Smith corporation.
A very able man, with new
ideas is running it." "
The stock sold then at thir
teen dollars a share. A little la
ter it sold at $525 a share, and
five shares were given for one.
The baby carritge business,
'lhat you couid have1 bought in
1 1887 for $50,000 or in 1923
for $1,300,000, now sells on
the stock exchange at $40,
000,000. Soend an hour in that Mil
waukee plant cn the edge of
Lake Michigan, study the head
of the business, and his meth
'ods, and you will know why
this is a prosperous country.
The ablest American manu
facturers could learn about
mass production and labor sav
ing, in L. R. Smith's plants.
One of his mills, making 35,
000 automobile frames a week,
for Chevrolet, using marvelous
automatic machinery does with
200 men work that requires
2,000 men in other plants.
One automatic machine,
changing steel sheets into steel
frames is 350 feet long. In one
place machinery and 34 men
i handle 14,000 side bars and
30.000 cross bars, and drive
1,000,000 rivets per day.
Machines do the work, men
look on. From the floor below,
heavy steel rivets are blown up
through thin pipes by air pow
er, plnced in the frames and
fixed there, no hand touching
anything.
There you see solved the
problem raised by inadequate
immigration.
At certain spots, the men,
with literally nothing to do, but
look on, find it hard to stay
awake, and it has actually been
suggested that a mechanism be
arranged to shake the floor on
which they stand, at intervals
to rouse them.
,
- L. R. Smith makes pipes up
to 26 inches in diameter, with
out heating, an achievement
hitherto unknown. The cold
steel sheets, 30 feet long are
rolled into pioes and welded.
And the weld, as proven by
tests, is stronger than the un
welded metal.
One order under way calls
for 400 miles of pipe. And dis
interested experts say that $2,
000.000 worth of this new ma
chinery pipe making has made
junk of $100,000,000 worth of
plants lhat would have been
called the last word in effic
iency, five vear ago.
Huge stills for "cracking"
gasoline, are also made, by the
'welding process in that A. O.
Smith plant. Manufacturers will

Seventh Year Finds State
Business Women's Clubs
Totalling 1000 Members
The Oregon Federation of Busl
ness and Professional Women's
clubs Is one of the comparatively
new organizations of the stale. It
has had a remarkably rapid growth
and has assumed a very Important
place in the activities of the busi
ness women of the state. Nation
al In scupe, Its aims and ideals are
those that will not only benefit
the members of the organization
but will prove of service to the
communities fortunate enough to
have within them the affiliated
! clubs that make up this great fed-
ieration.
j The history of the Oregon fed
eration is very interesting, show
jing, as it docs, the fine growth
jlhat has been enjoyed.
1 On February 23, 1921, the Oro
!gon Federation of ItuMness and
Professional Women's clubs, with
the gracious assistance of Mrs.
Lena Lake Forrest, who was at
that time the national president,
was launched, with representatives
from the Husiness and Profession
al Women's ciuh and the Women's
Advertising club of Portland, from
the Salem club and from Hood
'River and Marshfield present. It
has grown so rapidly lit that
short time that there are now 16
clubs wllh approximately 1,000
members In the state.
The state convention which la
being heid In Roseburg this week-
lend has brought a large number
of these members to t ho city for
ione of the finest meetings at
which women In their own profes
sions and businesses have been
assembled.
When the federation was first
f assembled the board consisted of
! president, Mrs. J. G. Frankel o(
; Portland; first vice-president. Miss
j Cornelia Marvin or Kalem; boc
ond vice president, Miss Klvira
Fi izeen of Marsbfleld ; secretary,
i Mrs. Hazel Linney of Portland;
j treasurer. Miss Clara Redheffer
of Portland, and the national vice
vresident. Miss Lorene L. Werly
of Portland.
The Coos Bay eluh was formally
admitted on May 2fi, 1921, and

, Dr. A. B.Hall.
WOMEN HEAR SPEECH
Spirit of Accommodation Is
Preferred to Conflict
Equal Show for
All Advocated.
"Tho fundamental principle un
derlying American foreign policy
has been, with rare exceptions,
equal opportunity to all and special
privileges to none," Dr. Arnold
lltmtitr Hull' declared, sneak inn at
noon today before the convention thai we are worthy of our coun
of Husiness und Professional Wom-itry",
en's clubs here. Dr. Hall spoke on1
"America in Foreign Affairs," und
ho, pointed out that u great need of'
the world is scientific research to
show that war can he avoided and:
cooperation between . nations se
cured through stateBinenlike ef
forts.1 - ,
"The -result of the Monroe Doc
trine has been to prevent the exer
cise of political dominion by for
eign powers over the republics of
Central and South America," said
Dr. J kill. "Such political dominion
would doubtless have been accom
panied with discriminating tniifts
and exclusive concessions. As a
result, American competes on
equal terms with all the nations of
hq world for the foreign trade of
these republics u"d no foreign
power enjoys any exclusive con
cessions as a result of political
control. '
"These same principles were fol
lowed in our. Far Eastern policy,
where we led In the movement for
the preservation of Chinese in
tegrity and for the maintenance of
the principles of the open door.'
Market Competition
- "It Is well to keep these prin
ciples in mind, for they may throw
some light upon the solution of
the world problems that now con
front us. America Is competing
with the great commercial nations
of the world for commerce. She is
competing for access to raw ma
terials and for markets for her fin
ished products. Unfortunately,
some of the greatest sources of
raw materials and the greatest po
tential markets are controlled by
nations too weak to defend their
resources against the aggressions
or powerful nations.
1 "This competition for commer
ciol development can load to one
of two alternatives: one Is an
other war, fought In the hope of I
obtaining such a broad dominion
as will Insure commercial Inde
pendence, and the other Is to unite
In the Joint effort to prevent such
conflict mid to substitute the prin
ciples of equality for nil and spe
cial privilege to none. Tho old dis
astrous rate wars between the rail
roads have given place to Intelli
gent cooperation, because It Is
found that destructive competition
did not pay. The process of con
solidation and combination ot
great business Interests has been

that Friday's primary election in Douglas county, so far as re
publican candidates were concerned, was one of the most close'
ly contested in many years. The races for the offices of county
judge and county clerk are particularly close, while the figures
received on aspirants for other offices are not far enough apart
to prevent a reversal of present standings when returns are all

to determine the nominee for one or two plnces Neck-and-neck
