How to Preserve an Umbrella Jar.
The housekeeper who has suffered
from having her umbrella jar broken
by hastily pushed in umbrellas should
welcome the coutrivance of clever
woman who declares she has learned
how to prevent breaking. From an old
rubber mat she cut two circles that
lust fitted the bottom of the jar. These
were put one on top of the other, and
when an umbrella was pushed in hur
riedly 1t struck a soft surface instead
of breakable one. If one does not

HARVEST MACHINES SCARCE
Dealers Urge Farmers to Mako Pur-
chases Early.

A reported shortage In the supply of
harvesting machinery in the United
states this year is causing some appre-
hension. Dealers are urging farmers
to make their purchases early this sea-
son. Difficulty was experienced In the
intermountain country last year be-
cause orders were deferred until the
last moment, and then the farmers
found that dealers had not laid in a
sufficient stock.
George T. Odell, general manager of
the Consolidated Wagon & Machine
company, states that all over America
there is a heavy demand for harvesting
machinery, owing to the fact that boun-
teous crops are very generally forecast
ed. He further points out that in
month or six weeks the time for cut
ting lucern in Utah will have arrived,
and that even now the first cutting is
in progress in Washington county.
In this connection a letter from the
International Harvester company to
resident. Of Salt Lake is quoted as fol-
lows:
I'VE have every reason to believe that
there Is going to be a shortage of bind
ers and mowers, and that in the course
of two weeks it will be impossible to
make prompt shipment of these ma
chimes"

very close limits in producing high
priced cars, such close accuracy Is not
so essential in the smaller and cheaper
machines" explained the engineer in
question. The point is that to narrow
down the limit of accuracy-the toll
erance,' as it is known in engineering
parIance-means that with q cheap
product, where rapid automatic pro-
cesses are relied upon, either con-
siderable number of parts must be re-
jected or else hand fitting must be re-
sorted to. The only alternative, and
the method which is used in high
priced cars, is to grind the parts to ex-
act size; but this is an expensive step
in the manufacturing process, which
can be omitted in many instances
far as possible.
when the parts maker turns out
his bearings, his crank shafts or his
gears to limits much finer than can be
followed economically with the low
grade product, the natural consequence
is that the corresponding parts must
be finished measurably below size and
then enlarged by hand in the assem-
bling process. If there were a greater
amount of variations in the compile
mentary dimensions Of the stock parts
more rapid and-from the asSemblers
point of view, atisfactory-results
might be obtained by a simple process
of selection or matching up of parts.
1T do not mean - deplore the high
development which re parts business
has reached, by any means" he con-
cluded. But I do Tean to say that
some Of the small car builders would
be better satisfied If 1t were possible to
procure equally satisfactory stock
parts constructed to wider limits, or
to be specific, to the same limits that
we impose in carrying out our work.
These are sufficiently close 10 guaran-
tee the proper relation of the parts
which we build ourselves, though they
are not so close as those which may
be required for the large machines of
more expensive quality. 1t is all
question of fitting allowances which,
as every machinest knows cannot be
too close in theory, but In practice re-
qutre considerable latitude"

HANDICAP MAKERS
Of CHEAPER AUTOS
Manufacturers of Parts Too
Accurate to Suit Some
Builders of Cars.
OUTPUT is WONDERFUL
PRECISION OF HIoH-PRIcED MA
CHINERY is LIKE WATCH.

The manufacture of automobiles in
enormous quantities has been one of
t.le recent surprises in the industrial
world, and the result of the wonderful
output of some factories is being
watched with more than ordinary in
terest.
The ability of any makers to pro-
duce automobiles at such q rate was
at one time questioned seriously, and
the fact that fairly good quality was
attained occasiOned a great deal OF
wonderment among those manufac-
turers Of other machinery who are not
used to such speed in metal work.
A new phase of the situation has came
TO light in the fact that quantity pros
duction cannot be made consistent
with the accuracy necessary to insure
long life, and this problem is ably
treated In the current Issue of Motor
World, which is herewith quated:
THAT the extreme accuracy with
which a number of the better estab-
hshed parts makers turn out their pro-
ducts is responsible for considerable
extra expense TO the builders Of cars
who depend in large measure upon the
assemblage Of parts from outside
sources, was the astonishing declara-
ton of q well known automobile en-
gineer recently. AS practically all
American makers to some extent rely
upon the parts specialists in c0mplet-
ing their cars, the difficulty referred TO
is one which is of no little Importance,
although at first sight it appears to be
trivial.
