nation, England, has a woman cabinet

shrewd eye of a careful housewife.
In her vast financial household she
employs 15.000 men and 2,000 women.
I . She, herself, tolls 16 to 18 hours
a day, Sundays and holidays Included.
She lives in a small, 5-room flat

the Individual, that counts,
"Our government gives every one an
equal chance for success," she said.

BECAUSE tlie automobile is such an important factor
in the live. and prosperity of so many people, the
purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more
than' the mere manufacture of a motor car.
There is no service in simply setting up a machine
or a plant and letting it turn out goods. The service
extends into every detail of tae business design,
production, the wages paid and the selling price. All
ne a part of the plan.
The Ford Motor Company looks upon itself as
charged with making an automobile that will meet the
needs of millions of people and to provide-it at a low
price. That is its mission. That is its duty and its obliga
tion to the public.
The search for better ways of doing things is never
ending. There is ceaseless, untiring effort to find new
methods and new machines that will save steps and time
in manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a
great mechanical university, dedicated to the advance
ment of industry. Many manufacturers come to see
and share the progress made.
The greatest progress comes by never standing still.
Today's methods, however successful, can never be
taken as whoUy right. They represent simply
the best efforts of the moment. Tomorrow
must bring an improvement in the methods
of the day before. Hard work usually finds the way,
Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by;
the endless chain method. All precedent was against it
and every previous experiment bail, failed. Many men
had shut their minds to the possibility of change. But
fair prices to the public 'demanded that wasteful methods
be eliminateil in this operation. Finally the way was
found and old methods gave place to new.
A better way of making axle shafts saved thirty-six
million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting
crankcas'es reduced the cost by $500,000 a year. The
perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on
such a little tiling as one bolt. Then electric welding was
developed to make many bolls unnecessary and to
increase structural strength.
Just a little while ago, an endless chain conveyor
almost four miles long was installed at the Rouge plant.
This conveyor has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts
weighing more than 2,000,0(J0 pounds. By substituting
the tireless, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done
by hand, it has made the day's work easier for thousands
of workers and saved time and money in the manu
facture of the car. All of these things are done in the
interest and the service of the public so that the
benefits of reliable, economical transportation
may be placed within the means of every one.
