concerns 10 a user of machine tools.
IL can be readily seen that the
machine tool men have been doing
some business.
A tour OF Detroits automobile fac
tories will reveal some OF the largest
and best-equipped machine shops IN
the country, or in the world, for that
matter. for Detroit leads the world In
auto production. These constitute the
very heart of the industry, for here
the various parts are fashioned, and
an automobile is no better than It's
weakest part. Hence the necessity TOT
absolute precision and perfectly
clean work, which can be obtained
only by the use OF machine tools
Then, too, II would be impossible to
turn out automobiles by hand, even
II Il were practicable, and keep pace
with the popular demand. Without
machine tools, therefore, the develop
ment OF the automobile to its present
proportions would have been a physi'
cal impossibility.
AS one result Of this remarkable
expansion in Detroit there has been
attracted TO this city vast army OF
skilled mechanics In fact, II 10 claim
ed that Detroit numbers among her
working hosts a higher grade OF
mechanics than Is found In any other
city in the country, and this has been
brought about largely through the In
creased use OF machine tools.

YEARLY SALES IN
TOOLS, 100000
And All Bought From Outside
Boston Firm Coming Here Is
First in Field.

Ten years ago the sale OF machine
tools in Detroit did not exceed 100000
annually. In the years 1903 and 1910
between 100000 and 100000
worth of these products were purchas-
ed by local manufacturers, principal
ly makers of motor cars, SO that the
yearly sales are now somewhere in
the neighborhood OF 100000.
In view of this showing and the
additional fact that Detroit Is the
recognized center OF the automobile
industry in America, II seems rather
singular that practically no machine
tools are manufactured in this city,
There are a few concerns making
special tools, but these are only "a
drop in the bucket" Nearly all of

The best electric vehicle made Is
just as good as the batteries upon
which 1t is dependent. The wheels
will not turn" unless the power is
right, and this fact has been driven
home many times in the experience
of the man who didn't go because
the wheels didn't move"

electric vehicles has Witnessed the
growth and Improvement OF batteries,

and grinding machines and other
varieties Of machine tools that have
been so large a factor in the work
OF supplying the phenomenal demand
for Detroit-made motor cars, have
been shipped in from outside and dis
tributed through the local jobbers.
II will not be long, however, before
Detroit will have machine tool
plant OF It's own, and one of the finest
In the country. Several months ago.
through the efforts OF the Detroit
Board OF Commerce, a large eastern
concern became interested in Detroit
as a manufacturing center and, after
looking over the ground thoroughly,
has decided TO locate here. The com.
pany Is now negotiating for a site and
expects to start moving not later than
June J. BY next fall. and perhaps
earlier, the new plant will be in full
operation.
Before the advent of the motor car,
machine tools were found principally
In the general machine shops. The
rapid development of the automobile
naturally created a new market and
the manufacturers soon found II
necessary TO increase their facilities
in order to keep pace with the de-
mand. When 1t Is considered that In

INSULATED WIRE-ONE OF DE-
TROIT'S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES

Insulated wire is an article which
has been much In demand OF late
years, principally becaus OF the ten
dency towards the use OF electricity
for the lighting of dwellings and office
buildings. Few homes are built in
Detroit nowadays without being wired
for electric lighting, with the result
that Detroit insulated wire works are
kept busy. The wire used for such
work Is insulated with rubber, and
the insulation Is regarded as an abso-
lutte safeguard against danger from
shock. Detroiters are given unusual
ly good protection In this regard, for
the reason that all wiring Is carefully
inspected by representative of the
public lighting commission before be-
ing approved for use.
Ii Is a mistake, however, for one to
harbor the idea that street wires are
safe because they are insulated. These
wires carry heavy voltage and the In
sulation, which consists or three
braids of cotton, saturated with a COM
position of pitch and other substances,
is not regarded by electricians AZ a
solute protection. AS a matter OF fact,
no trained electrician will work about
charged wires without first separating
himself and the wires by means OF q
rubber sheet and seeing to II that his
feet are resting on dry wood. Rubber
is no longer used for insulating street
wires because OF the advance In price
of the commodity. Rubber tape which
used to cost 81 a pound, now costs >5.
Relative to the dangers surrounding
electric wires, Frank r. Mistersky,
general superintendent OF the public
lighting commission, gives some
wholesale advice.
The Times can do the public q
good service by pointing out the dan
ger connected with electric wires,
said Mr.. Mistersky. First OF all, tell
the public not TO NEEDLE with loose
wire, which may be considered dead.
II is Just as liable TO be charged as
II is TO be dead, although II may be
apparently disconnected with an cleo
trio current. II may be charged by a
live wire crossing II at some point.
Ny advice TO my own children and
wife is to never touch wire Of any
kind

HOW TO AVOID TIRE TROUBLE.
Here Are a Few Hints, Based On
Long Experience.


The following rules have been for
mulated from many years experience
In the manufacture and repair OF COM
mercial motor vehicle tires. The worst
foes OF tire economy are the overload
ing and overspeeding OF vehicles.
These instructions should prove help
full to vehicle drivers who have the
interests Of their vehicle at heart.
Do not overload or overspeed your
vehicle. as this will be harmful to
both the mechanism and the tires. A
good rubber tire has a certain amount
OF life" and persistent overwork
greatly reduces its length of service.
Brakes should be kept working
equally, and the axles and wheels
and wear on the vehicle and prevents
an abnormal stress on any one OF Its
tires.
OIL or grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on rubber tires because
this eventually causes them to disin-
tegrate.
Rubber tires should not be exposed
To unnecessary heat, which destroys
the wear-resisting properties OF the
rubber
Start the vehicle before turning the
steering wheel. The act OF turning
the front wheels when the car Is
standing still, places a heavy stress
upon the tires.
Vehicles should be started and
stopped gradually and jerky motions
avoided as much as possible.
Vehicles should not be habitually
run along street car rails as that
grinds of the edges OF the tires.
Wherever possible choose a smooth
pathway, avoiding obstacles and road
Irregularities and cross car tracks pre-
ferably at an angle. This is especial
ly Important when the vehicle is car
rying a load.
AS merely resetting or repairing a
tire will In many cases double Its life,
prompt attention should be given to
injuries In order to get the greatest
length OF service from the tires.
To prevent Earring of batteries and
mechanism of the car. select the most
resilient tires you can get, other
things being equal.

Farmers Use Them Extensively For

The fact that the practice OF deliv-

towns and cities has been done away
