the United .States- there are over

rldingi on .80,000,000 robber, tires
and when , the individual savings
for travel over concrete are con
sidered in the ' aggregate for all
motor veEkles in the country the
amount is staggering.
The comparative tire wear tests
made under, the direction of the
engineering experiment station of
the college, included four' types of
road, - according to the report.
From the conclusions made pre
suming tire wear for travel alone,
motorists may expect a set of tires
to give 40, 680 miles service if
travel : is made entirely on con
crete roads, 27,740 miles on bitu
Hthlc, 6,200 miles on gravel and
5,900 miles "on macadam. On a
basis of cost, the tire charge for
a car driven On concrete all the
time will be. 3.40 per 1,000 miles
ana ranges up to sz3.zoper

Star Company1 Will Con
struct Both Operand
Closed Bodies'
OAKLAND, June 26. An addi
tional expression of confidence in
the growing western automobile
market is voiced in plans that
have become known here to build
Star car bodies in an additional
Oakland, Cal., ' factory.
The addition of a body plant to
the present five million -dollar Star
car . factory would evolve the' ex
penditure of approximately a half
million dollars.
At the present time, all enclosed
Star car bodies are built in the
Hayes-Hunt company's eastern
factories, and shipped here com
plete for assembly into the com
plete Star car. The factory here at
the present time la building all
open car bodies. ! '
It is knows that Norman De-
Vaux, vice-president and general
manager of the big plant here has
always taken a major part In the
construction of Star car bodies,
and In some cases has made major
changes in the bodies of cars de
signed for Western motorists. Ac
cording to members of the 'Star
sales organization it has. 'been De
Vaux's personal touch in the Star
ar construction that has won for
such wide approval in this terri-f
tory. ' ; ;
The addition of an enclosed
body-factory to the present huge )
Star Interests ' in - Oakland would
materially raise western payrolls.
The company already has suffici
ent land adjacent to the Star fac
tory on which to build the plant
under discussion.

Paige Factory's Constant
Clean-up Campaign . Is
Cutting expenses
What price Cleanliness? v
The? Paige-Detroit -Motor Car
company spends SIOO.OOO a year
Just to keep its plant clean, yet
considers It cheap at the ' price.
Before it Installed special equip
ment and arranged" the present
elaborate clean-up system,' ". the
cost was higher but it was 'fig
ured in production totals, injuries
to workers,' faulty workmanship,
and damaged parts. With the in
creased expenditure for cleanliness
final costs were reduced,- so that
the purchaser of a Paige or a Jew
ett not 'only gets a better car, but
saves on the purchase price.
The effects of constant clean
ing are not only physical, but psy
chological. In a clean plant," the
workers naturally do clean work
and turn out clean Jobs. s
Few .kitchens are kept cleaner
or watched more carefully than
the mammoth plant . In which
Paigrea and Jewetts are construct
ed. Everything is ship-shape,
Before the Paige plant operated
on its present system, time had to
be allowed for the workers to
sweep up around their machines
every so often, as steel chips or
shavings or other waste accumu
lated. Now, guards have been in
stalled on all the grinding and
boring machines, so thatthe chips
and shavings leave the machine
through chutes, to be collected in
receptacles. One worker making
regular rounds, empties the re
ceptacles, and this one man now
does the work formerly requir
ing five men. ,
Twice a day, the cement floors
of the wide isles through the fac
tory are scrubbed with soap and
water.
In one department, cleanliness
is carried out to the extent of bar
ring every one but the operators
of the machinery, even factory of
ficials and executives - being re
fused admittance. This is the great
enclosed . enamelling; department.
Filtered and "washed air' circulates
through the immense chamber
containing . the $ conveyors . 5 and
ovensR .through which thousands
of metal parts pass, hourly. Un
fortunately, this Interesting oper
ation cannot be exhibited ; to visi
tors, for. if only one man walks
through, the lint from his clothes
and dust from , his sole-leather
mars the works
:. In all other departments visitors
are welcome.
