IS NOW RUNNING DAILY
With the complete elimination of
all the "knocks" in its labor engine
and troubles in generating financial
power as well as inits transmission
of working capital to plant driving
gear, the automotive vehicle industry
is now traveling smoothly on "high"
and making new records in produc
tion while constantly swelling ' its
profits anfl augmenting the revenues
of its owner, the great American in
vesting public. ,
The last obstacles shutting off this
industry from the highway of prosper
ity high labor costs and lack of ade
quate capital have now been entirely
removed and with a clear road ahead,
the only embarrassment which it can
reasonably look for is that of falling
into the clutches of the 'inancial traf
fic law enforcement officers, for ex
ceeding the speed limit with a possible
over-expansion which is not likely to
occur for a long time to come.
Problem Is Solved
The automotive industry's solution
of the skilled labor problem has been
accomplished along sane and logical
lines by the simple expedient of train
ing unskilled laborers in special ma
chine operation, which has made un
necessary hereafter the "pirating" of
"help" by one factory from another
and a consequent artificial ''boosting"
of wages beyond reasonable limits.
When the demand for automobiles
returned with a rush last January and
February, motor executive, noting a
tendency toward increased turnover,
set out to find a cure. It was suggest
ed that the larger plants establish a
sort of training school in which men
without experience as skilled machine
operators could be taught one partic
ular machine operation. Tried in a
small way, this plan showed immed
iate results.'
Men Are Experts
New men are now being taken into
plants at night and with the machines
slowed down they are taught speciall
ized work. By performing one opera
tion over and over the "green" men
soon become expert in that expert in
that particular activity and are just as
useful as men skilled in a wider range
of machine operation. These opera
tives are called "specialists" and
comprise in the opinion of J. L. Lov
ett, manager of the Michigan Manu
facturers Association, the larges class
of workers in the automobile industry
today.
The general level of automobile
plant wages is now about 15 per cent
under the peak level obtaining during
1920 and from 5 per cent to 10 per
cent above the level reached on Jan
uary 1.' 1922. Common labor is re
ceiving from 40 to 45 cents an hour,
compared with 60 to 65 cents at peak
of 1920 expansion and with as low as
30 cents during dull times last winter.
Tool makers range on an overage be
tween 75 and 90 cents an hour, com
pared with a $1.25 peak and as low as
60 cents an hour last winter. Ma
chine 'specialists" range from 55 to
60 cents an hour compared with 75 to
80 cents an hour in 1920 and with
45 to 50 cents six months ago.
Earnings Not Limited
Workers in the latter class are not
limited to earnings based on these
rates. Some plants designate a cer
tain number of nuts, bolts or other
pieces of machine output as a normal
days work and pay a bonus if the
day's output exceeds thiis quota. To
this extent the arrangement partakes
of piecework plan but it does not fol
low it in other respects. A worker
is sure of his normal day's wages and
extras if he feels inclined to speed
up.
Greatly expanded production has
followed rapidly upon this solution of
the labor problem and the securing of
adequate working capital from invest
ors. The Ford Motor Company has estab
liished a new monthly record in its
May production which reached 144,
469 cars, trucks and tractors in all
its plants, damestic and foreign. In

A KEEP CLEAN VERSUS A MAKE
CLEAN
Weary with housecleaning, we are
ready now to listen to some sugges
tions about how to avoid the semi-annual
tear-up. Here are a few:
Keep dirt out of the house by
cleaning porches and .walks, ets., of
ten, and close up the house when you
see a wind-storm heading your way.
Insist that muddy coats and shoes
be left outside.
Have the family use a door-mat. 6
Rid the house of dust-catchers,
fancy moldings, carved furnishings,
drapes, rough-finish walls, upholstery,
and bric-a-brac.
Remove the dirt when you clean.
Do not flit it about when sweeping
or dusting. The -vacum cleaner is
useful here.
Do a little heavy or special clean
ing each week and avoid its piling up.
Have the necessary tools to make
cleaning easy and keep them togeth
er in a convenient place.
Use water and cleaning agents
sparingly or they will, spoil finishes
and weaken glue, paste or cement.
If pests of any kind appear, get
rid of them promptly before they
have timeto do much damage, or to
multiply. .
Induce all the family to help - as
much as possible to keep the home
clean. The co-operative spirit makes
for "home, sweet home" and II all
bear it in mind, each will apprec
iate more what it means to have a
clean home, and the effort "it takes'to
keep it so- Each one should, at
least, put away in good condition the
things hegets out of place and should
leave in neat order the spot and ap
pliances he has just used.

The Canhlng Season
Fruit is plentiful this year' and
housewives are almost swamped with
the canning business. There is an
instinctive Joy a sort of ant or busy
bee joy in staring away goodies for
the winter, but oh, the strenuousness
and backache! ! Never mind, they tell
us we won't be doing it a few years
hence. The commercial cannery will
take care of it for us as the knitting
mill, the bakery, and the laundry do
their jobs wholesale now. Then, too,
there's another alternative up the
sleeves of the Future. When refrig
eration is further perfected the ideal
way will be to coldstore it, fresh and
raw, and we may buy it in mid-winter
looking and tasting as if just pick
ed. Then will the old hymn be real
ly true: -December's as pleasant as
May." And the backache will be
amputated from fruit-season!
WOMEN AS INVENTORS
In early times it was necessary
that males be always ready to fight
to protect the tribe. It fell upon wo
men to perform the arts of peace; to
till the soil, cook he food, procide
utensils, tools, make clothing and
build ' shelter.
Necessity, as traditionally, was the
mother of invention. From clay, she
devised the making of dishes; from
bone she made needles and other
tools; she invented ways of curing
meat, etc., of keeping foods, of fas
tening skins together sewing or
wigwam building. She invented the
scheme of grinding corn between
two stones, and what did she not
invent while her lord literally, "kept
the wolf from the door?" '
We have come to think of men in
these latter days as the inventors;
but if the "inside history" of every
invention were known, we should
see that many of the inventions at
tributed to men were- aided and bet
tered by their wives or women
friends, who made the necessary sug
gestion or gave a hint which was me
chanically applied by the male to
whom was attributed the glory.

TV0 MURDERERS
WRECKMOTORCAR
AHD KILL SHERIFF
TUCSON, Ariz., July 14. Sheriff
George White of Santa Cruz county
was killed and Manuel Martinez and
Placido Silvas, convicted murderers,
escaped last night when an automo
bile in which the prisoners were be
ing taken to the state penitentiary at
Florence overturned on the Nogales
Tucson highway, near Continental,
eighteen miles south of here.
Sheriffs posses from Tucson and
Nogales are searching the country
for the escaped convicts.
Sheriff White was driving the car
which left the road and overturned.
Martinez and Silvas, shackled to
gether, were riding in a rear seat.
The supposition is that one of ' the
pair struck White on the head from
behind, causing him to lose control
of the automobile.
Deputy Sheriff Smith, who was
seated in the machine beside White,
was stunned.
Martinez was sentenced to. hang
next month and Silvas was given a
life term as a result of their convic
tion in Nogales of the murder of
Postmaster and Mrs. J. Frank Pear
son of Ruby, Ariz., who were slain
last August in a bandit raid.
The body of Sheriff White was
brought to Tucson today by Deputy
Sheriff Mungia, who said that Dep
utq' Sheriff Smith's condition was such
that he was unab'.e to expliin the
cause of the wreck.
Deputy Mungia stated that the skull
of the dead sheriff seemed to indicate
he had been struck on the head with
some heavy instrument, but that the
entire body was badly crushed and
bruised by the overturning of the car.
Batteries Must Be
Kept in Good Shape
Low cost battery service the very
thing that every autoist is interested
in. A local battery expert says three
things are necessary start with a
standard, make of battery, service it
properly with frequent and regular
testing and filling, guard against over
heating due to overcharging.
These admonitions would appear
simple enough and easy to follow but
when one considers the fact . that
there are over two hundred kinds of
storage batteries on the market, only
eight or ten of which can reasonably
he nailed standard makes, that most
people are extremely careless about
giving any attention whatever to tne
battery on their car, and that fewer
still know when they are over-charg
ing their batteries, it is no wonder
that the manufacturers must main
tain service stations all over the
country.
The Willard Storage Battery Com
pany of Cleveland, long ago realizing
this need for a high grade product
and careful attention to that product,
established a service station organi
zation whose motto "Through Service
We Grow" has made them the largest
company of its kind to-day.

RESIGNATION OF DOVER
WASHINGTON, July 18. The res
ignation of Elmer Dover, assistant sec
retary of the treasury will be accepted
by President Harding, it was announc
ed at the White House this afternoon.
Dover was the stormy petrol of the
most serious patronage row that has
yet occurred in the Harding adminis
tration, involving the shakeup of
many of the bureaus in the treasury
department. It was said Dover was
dissatisfied with the policies of the
treasury department, this dissatisfac
tion leading to his resignation.
Small Child Saved
By Barking of Dog
BEND, July 18. Alternately tug
ging at the dress of a tiny miss of
perhaps two years, and barking until
he had gained the attention of people
across the river, a shaggy shepherd
dog is credited with having saved the
life of the child, who had waded into
the river here until her feet sank in
the muddy bottom, making it impossi
ble for her to return to shore. The
child had apparently strayed from
home, the dog finding her when just
a few minutes more would have meant
drowning in the Deschutes. Unaided
the animal was unable to pull the
youngster from the water, but he
could and did bark antil he secured
help. Safe on shore, the child took
firm hold of the dog's heavy coat and
he started slowly for home. Her res
cuers failed to learn the name or ad
dress of the parents.

"Our debt to the United States is a
solemn obligation and it will be met,"
said Sir Robert
It is expected that this announce
ment will put an end to discussion of
"It is essential for the economic de
velopment of the world that British
indebtedness to the Unied States be
placed upon a sable and equitable
basis," former Premier Asquith said
in commons earlier in the afternoon.
"America stepped into the breach
during the war when there was no
other source of supply. She rendered
priceless service to the allies."
