RIGID INSPECTION OF ALL

One employe in every six In tho
motor assembly plant of the Chevrolet
Motor company, at Flint, Mich., does
nothing but check the rigid standards
required in tbe motor parts and the
accuracy with which they are fitted
together. t
Before the engine block starts down
one of the assembly lines It is given u
triple inspectilon for possible Irregu
larities or defects, each Inspector
cheeking his predecessor. Next it is
washed, dried under compressed air
and again inspected for .cleanliness.
If a dirt spot is discovered, the cast

Almost endless tests mark Its pro

If tho variaton from standard is fun

As tho motor is built up, all parts

In one day recently, the Studebaker

the history of the corporation, save
one. On May 29, 1923. the shipment
was 780.
Studebaker operates the lnrgest

a second one-day record, the foundry
poured 307 tons of gray iron castings,
an achievement never before equalled
in any one foundry of its kind in the
world.
Though running at maximum capa
city, the plants have been unable to
catch up with the demands, for ship
ments of cars already sold, for more
than two months. The present pro
duction capacity is still 25 .per cent
below the actual current sales, and
the number of cars on hand in the
hands of dealers is at the lowest point

ATTEMPT REFORM
CHICAGO, May 14. (By Associat
ed Press.) The Chicago hoard of
trade will start at unco to meet the
"constructive suggestions." of Secre
tary of Agriculture Juuline, made
yesterday In Washington, Krank I.
Carey, president of the board of trade
said today.
Immediate steps will be taken. Mr.
Carey said in a statement to bring the
secretary's recommendations to the
attention of the exchange members.
The wide fluctuations in grain
prices which caused Secretary Jar
dine some time ago to order an In
vestigation of grain operations, hud
confronted the board with a situation
ntirely new in peace limes, Mr.
Carry said. lie also disclosed that
representatives of the board had con
ferred wit h ll' secretary last M ou
tlay. "Long ago," he said, "the exchange
made-Impossible the obi abuses that
developed Into what are known as
corners. Kor many years there have
been no situations of that character
for the exchange itself formulated
rules that prevented them.
"In the past six mouths there de
veloped a situation that was- wholly
new to the exchange. Never before
bad the exchange been called upon
to meet such wide price fluctuations
in peace times.
"America bad a bountiful wheat
crop. All other countries, witlj the
possible exception of Australia, suf
fered shortages. A buying power that
was world wide was thrust upon the
exchange and this buying continued
unabated for many weeks and to a
limited extent is still present. Under
the stress of such unprecedented cir
cumstances the exchange functioned
remarkably well. If abuses crept In
they were strikingly few when viewed
from the great volume of business
transacted. Nevertheless It Is the
genuine desire of the exchange to tor-
rest any abuse that may be found,
Just as it bus done in the past.
"The view of Secretary Jardlne will
be brought to the attention of the
directors, who have for several weeks
been studying the general problem
of price fluctuations."

"Wo snrloimly question a number of points which you have stressed In

point out to you that:
"1. Ydw make no reference to tho con nested situation of the sewer

transferring back and forth will be necessary, no matter which site Is selected,
and there is every reason to believe that It would not prove satisfactory to

Steward Answers
Letter of Experts
Citizens of Medford:
A long and voluntary study of Con
solidated Schools. Union High Schools,
Junior High Schools. Senior High
Schools, sites, financing, etc., was
made many weeks ago without the
knowledge of the School Board. 1
was never submitted to nny experts
(except a very few extracts) nor was
it ever published, but It was read be
fore the men teachers, and the School
Hoard, simultaneously. Therefore, the
paid advertisement in the paper Tues
day evening was put In in bad faith
and against the wishes of the experts.
Any man may make an oversight,
especially when making a hurried two
day survey, I believe that the ex
perts understood that the Holly Street
site was already owned. In their re
port, and In their letter of Tuesday
evening, they stated that $185, UOU was
to be u soil to construct a building
alone which would accommodate tied
pupils. Of course such a thing can be
dono when the building alone is con
sidered, but if the cost of the situ and
equipment are. deducted not more
than 4 i 2 pupils can be accommodat
ed. It ea 1 1 y , 1 ess than 440 ca n be
seated anil there are now 554 (???)
pupils in the high school If we accept
the figures on the map at Week's &
Ore's. If the experts' own methods
are used, that means that more than
1 (it) pupils cannot be seated now.
What will it be in one, two, three, or
four years? We cannot use the old
high school building as n Junior High
because It would be more congested
than it is now; and what will It be
In the future?
l'rlvately, I called the attention of
tho exports to this, ami I did it in
good faith. They answered privately
and said that 1 was mistaken. They
said that Tax Levies or Short Time
Warrants could be used to' purchase
the site. They are absolutely and
positively wrong.
The ballot for the bonds wan word'
ed. "185,0110 to Construct and Kquip
a New High School Building, or Unit
thereof, and to Purchase Keul Pro
perty." The voters decided that, 4 to
1. Is there any higher court than the
voters?
I have the word of Newbury and
Newbury, and have, heard the opin
ions of the Attorney General, that the
Oregon School Ijiw slates specifically
In sections No. 123, No. 124, No. 120.
No. 129, etc., that no money shall he
spent by School Boards for Perma
nent 1 m provement s ( such as sit es)
except by the consent of the voters.
and that Warrants and Tax Levies
.May Be Mndd to Meet Current Kx
penses Only.
We have already had one Injunc
tion suit; do we want another?
Now this nil means that we cannot
construct and equip n complete hlgb
school on the North Holly Street site
with the money available. If more
money is needed another election will1
be necessary. On the other hand, a
building on the P. & E, site can be
used for a few years in connection
with the present old building.
Citizens of Medford, do you want
to go through another such election
to got ndditionut money? Do you
really want such a villainous,' libel
ous, slanderous fight? Do you want
to taKu a chance on having an empty
building? If you want peace, harmony,
and assurance of a real, now high
school, vote for the P. & E. You are
taking no chances with the P. & 12.!!
Sincerely yours,
