him. The forgings must be exact.
they must be right In every way, else
all the engineering skill In the world
Is useless. II was In covering this
point that Dodge Bros. have gone to
such length In equipping their forge
department.
POWER BUILDING.
The power building is in front Of
the main building. 1t Is 100 feet wide
and lilo feet long, one story high and
a basement. Fire is given no chance
whatever, as the walls are of steel
and brick. the floors and roof Of con-
crete. There IL something about fine
machinery that appeals to almost
every mind and a visit to q modern
engine room IL full of delight to all
who have the slightest interest in the
skill of man as exemplified In modern
power producers. In the Dodge en-
CINE room will be found boilers with
a capacity Of 1,400 horsepower and
two 500 k. W. direct connected, cross
compound Corliss engines and all the
appliances that 60 with them. To
render a proper description OF these
masterpieces OF the engine builders
art would require a technical educa-
ton Of a high degree, followed by a
special course In English In order to
reduce the technical terms to those
understandable to the lay reader.
ENGINE ROOM.
The engine room Is connected with
all the other buildings by tunnels and
through these tunnels run the cleo
trio wires, steam pipes, etc. These
electric wires are of great importance,
as they carry the Juice that not only
lights the buildings, but also that fur
nishes the power for the various ma
chimes and the big freight elevators.
Compressed air Is used with some
tools, but the compressors are driven
by individual motors and are placed
wherever needed, instead OF one cen
trail compressor and the consequent
plumbing.
OFFICE BUILDING.
The office building is also in front
of the main building, connected with
1t by a steel bridge. the two wings OF
the main building being also connect
ed In the same manner. The office
building In or brick and concrete and
two stories In height, the width being
IS feet and the length $50. To add
to the safety Of the group OF buildings
as well as to the safety OF the o..ice
employees, this building Is also strictly
fire-proof.
MODERN EQUIPMENT.
This Office building Is q far cry from
the days when a goose quill answered
the purI oses OF business. In fact, the
equipment in this office shows that
at least two OF the once famous three
Rs are fast losing their grip, "'rith-
metic" being placed by the adding
machine and "'riting" by the type
writer. II has been remarked lately,
anyway, that II a business man knows
how to read print and can sign his
ON name. none OF his associates
could tell how far his literary educa-
ton had gone.

jammed. Then Dodge Bros. began to
look about for more room. The result
OF this wonderful growth and search
Is apparent now on Joseph Campau
avenue, between the Belt Line rail-
road and Bismarck avenue. for there
has been erected factory that Is In
every way a credit to Detroit, not
only because II is modern in every de-
tail, but also since. when the new
plant Is In operation, 1000 additional
men will be required, making 5000 In
all upon the pay roll.
$4,000 FEET OF FLOOR.
= About $4,000 square feet of floor
space will be enclosed In the new
buildings on the "a acres in Ham
tramck township. Architecture has
made long strides forward In factory
buildings within the last few years,
and all the new ideas will be embodied
In this factory, together with several
innovations which are a step ahead OF
even the most advanced methods OF
construction.
NO DANGER OF FIRE.
The main building Is I'm the shape
OF the letter 1.-THE letter u OF a
giants alphabet. Each main wing In
400 feet In length, and the connecting
building Is 105 feet long. Fire. should
II ever break out, would not find much
to feed upon, since the construction Is
OF concrete throughout, especially
heavy, and reinforced in the best pos
sible manner, with steel. making II
absolutely safe from either fire or
collapse.
OPEN AIR FACTORY.
The men in this factory also will
have the advantage OF working out
Of doors with none of the disad-
vantages OF open-air labor, since the
main building is practically all
glass. The sides are heavy steel
sash, and into this the glass is
fixed, giving a strong construction
and at the same time taking all
the possible advantage OF daylight
Il 10 well-known fact that work

the manufacturer paid little attention
TO his plant other than to be sure
that II was big enough. Lighting was
thing he did not consider much, not
figuring that II had any bearing on
his years business. II his employees
wanted fresh air, they could open a
window and when they had enough,
they could close II. II the factory
burned down, as II hadn't cost much,
the disaster assumed no great proper
tons. But with the Improvement in
machinery, there came an improve
ment In the buildings and now
a building can be well taken as the
criterion OF business-that Is, IL the
business has been established long
enough to make such proof just.
For the exterior walls light bun
icing brick was used, Ihich COM
bines attractively with the exposed
concrete and the wide expanse OF glass
to give very handsome appearance
to the building. The Kahn System
reinforced concrete and United Steel
Sash for all window openings was
used throughout.

has entered into the construction OF
the new plant, detail not apparent
at once will be mentioned. In order
to accommodate the factory, half
mile OF railroad siding has been con-
structed. In days that are gone, this
siding would have been laid at the
track level. In fact, that Is the
almost universal practice, but this is
not the case at the Dodge plant. There
a trench about four feet deep has
been dug and the sidetrack built in
this, which means that the doors of
the cars will be on level with the
floors OF the shop. so that no plat
forms will be necessary, but goods can
be trucked directly into the cars. This
is small thing. II Is true, but Il Is
In. portant In that 1t shows how well
details have been worked out.
"MovINo DAY."
To move factory involves consid.
cradle difficulty, especially II that fac.
tory happens to have a bunch OF or.
ders ahead and has to keep going all
the time In order to prevent conges-
ton. For that reason, there cannot be
a sudden move, but various depart.
ments must be transferred and the
wheels kept whirling The forge
building at the new plant Is now In
full operation, while some Of the
machines on the various floors OF the
main building are also going. but II
will be fully two months yet before
the Monroe avenue establishment will
be deserted. After the move is com.
plete, the Monroe avenue factory Will
be closed and very probably will be
sold.

A most enjoyable social evening
was spent by the members of Eureka
lodge, No. 1928. of the New England
Order of Protection and invited guests
at the lodge rooms, G. A. r. hall. on
Tuesday evening, January "a. After
the regular session of the lodge the
doors were thrown open and the
guests invited In and a social time en-
Joyed. Boxes of refreshments had
been provided by the ladies'. Not the
least of the enjoyment of the evening
was the sale of boxes which were put
up and auctioned off, M. B. Heselton
acting as auctioneer. The bidding
was lively and goodly sum was real
lied from the sale. Fortunately there
was a box and lady for each gent
(but none to spare), who not only had
the pleasure of partaking of the re-
freshments with the lady whose box
he had purchased but also had the
pleasure of dancing Lady of the Lake,
the first dance after intermission with
the same lady. Music for the even
ing was furnished by Mr.. Nutting and
Mrs. Borden. Much credit for the
success of the affair is due Vice War
den Leslie Shepley, who had full
charge of the arrangement of the ev-
ening's entertainment. At the next
meeting of the lodge Tuesday even
ing. Feb. ID, class initiation will
be held at which time a number of
initiates will be admitted.
