I Metallurgy and metallor'graphy paturally come in for special con sideration on account of the many ? ) varieties of tnetal used in' Ford jconstruct ion. The Ford car has Sin Its makeup 40 different steels. Is kinds of cast iron, 12 bronzes. Is brasses, 4 aluminum alloys and three varieties of babbitt meUl. In addition to the copper and leid found in alloyed compounds pure copper is found in the wires and radiator tubes , and pure lead in the-batteries.- In all there are 72 metals or combinations of metals In a Ford car. ; yvhile it Is not the policy of the company to make frequent changes in its basic design, there by rendering its preceding models obsolete before their time, there are corietant improvements being made; !a the metallurgical specifi cations. Each succeeding "year finds; in Ford., products more strength, and a greater resistance to breakage and wear. M Agricultural research, both bot anlcal and chemical, is also '-practiced ,ln connection with the Ford farms and the Fordson j tractor's rhcre is an experimental body thtp lri which various types pf automobile bodies are built for purposes of study. If modern coach- design presents a new idea, this laboratory will soon discover whether or hot it is applicable to the I Ford . line. Sample cars from all representative American and European manufacturers are always under observation and the large collection of foreign makes always to be seen gives one the impression that it is always "Salon Week" at Dearborn. " ; The Ford interests receive of fers of inventions and processes at, the rate of 500 a week, and occasionally something of impor tance turns up. In. such cases the experimental department follows it- through. Most of the Ford methods, however, have originated in the company's own laboratories or shops, and have been, the" result of painstaking work, step by step, in co-operation with other depart- men's. . . '- . f i .One.' reason . for the extreme modernity of all Ford methods is Mr Ford's' willingness to back his judgment and that of his j; en gineer a with the -investment ne cessary to carry the work to com pletion. The Piroir low tempera ture coking process required the spending of millions long before the first oven was filled. The first . dollars before It made a single revolution. If a new dis covery will reduce operating costs, or produce better work, the Ford Motor company will adopt It even thotzgh it means tie virtual scrap ping of hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of --equipment, for any economies made possible will be multiplied by millions and soon write-off 4he investment.."

Within a fort night after the if irst puzzle was printed by a weekly newspaper, two other newspapers, one a week ly and the other a popular daily, followed suit, each of the three sponsors of the new game adver- bout tising heavily their enterprise in introducing the novelty.

Deal ers', stocks are said to be small and public demand is continuing strong. Inclosed cars comprise 75 per cent-of the company's busi ness. ; " ; ' Studebaker Corporation is pre paring to make a strong play for bus business by turning out 5000 specially designed long-wheel base chassis this year, according to a statement from President A. R. Efrkine. The chassis will sell at lS5. The corporation plans to pay off all of its $4,000,000 of bank loans by July 1. Second quarter production schedule calls for 40.000 cars. Present demand exceeds factory production. Another far-reaching trend y?hich is becoming more and more prevalent is the use of two cars per family. There is a tendency to have both an open and a closed model so as to enjoy the most des irable service for different kinds j of occasions.
