AUTO FRAMES ARE
STRONGLY BUILT
They Are Made From Sheets of Steel
and Process Calls for Expert
Workmanship.

When one sees the finished frame
completed running gear, il is hard
to realize that II was once nothing
more than q sheet OF Ia inch chrome
nickel steel. To those unfamiliar with
the processes of manufacturing, II
seems as IL IL might have grown in
the form in which one sees II. II II
grew that way. however. there would
not be much use for the big plants
In Detroit that are busy shaping auto
mobile frames from raw material
Like practically all the other indus
tries which have sprung up as re-
suit OF the development OF the auto
mobile. the manufacture of automo-
bile frames is centered in Detroit.
The process OF forming the frame
from the sheet of steel is exceed
ingly interesting and the problem
that had 10 be solved before this
could be done, as 1t should be, were
some of the most DIFFICULT that were
presented TO automobile engineers
In modern practice, the side rails
are shaped at one stroke of the huge
presses which have been designed
for this purpose. The early method
OF manufacture was to make a
straight channel and then TO put in
the other bends, one by one This
involved a physical strain upon the
steel which tended to make 1t crystal
ize. II was also impossible to get the
absolute accuracy, as there was a
possibility OF a difference in the plac-
ing of the tools. When the rail is
shaped at one stroke. this possibility
is avoided and absolute uniformity
can be obtained.
In order to give the steel a chance
to set, the action OF the press must
be slow and for this purpose the n.y.

The latest types of press, however,
are OF the gear type. One OF these,

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 Ia Detroit did not exceed 100000
annually. In the years 1909 and 1910
between 100000 and 100000
worth OF these products were purchas
Cd By local manufacturers, principal
" 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 q few concerns making
special tools, but these are only "a
drop In the bucket" Nearly all Of
the lathes. monitors. drilling. milling
and grinding machines and other
varieties of machine tools that have
been 80 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.
Il win not be long, however, before
Detroit will have machine tool
plant OF its own, and one of the finest
IN the country. Several months ago.

decade, and that every one OF these
concerns is a user of machine Tools
Il can be readily seen that the
machine tool men have been doing
some business.
A tour OF Detroit's automobile rae
tories will reveal some OF the largest
and best-equipped machine shops In
the country, or in the world, for tnat
matter, for Detroit leads the world In
auto production. These constitute the

STEERING GEAR
BIG AUTO FACTOR
Article Made in Detroit Is Noted for
It's Excellent Quality and Relia-
bility-0utput Large Here.

From the point Of view OF the
driver, as well as from the public
point of view, the steering gear OF an
automobile Is a mighty important
part OF the machine. II the steering
gear goes wrong, the automobile and
anybody who happens to be in IL or
in its way is pretty likely TO meet
with disaster. However else you may
economic, you cannot AFFORD to use
an unreliable steering gear.
AS in all other lines of automobile
manufacture, Detroit takes the lead
in the manufacture OF steering gear
and Detroit-made steering gear is the
steering gear that can be relied upon.
Detroit manufacturers make more OF
this apparatus than all the manufac-
turers In the rest of the country. The
output OF the city, excluding the
steering gear which Is manufactured
by automobile makers in their own
factories, runs up TO more than 10000
sets per year and is constantly in
creasing
The important things in making
good steering gear are workmanship
and material, and the saktehaon that
has been paid TO these oNactors
has made possible the success (of De-
troit manufacturers In Oils line The
abundance Of skilled labort .esp ecially
In automobile lines, has made IL pos
sible TO bring up the standard OF
workmanship TO a high point.
The rolling mills and other factor
les Of Detroit, provide an abundance
Of the right Kind of material Ali the
parts that go to make up the steer
ing gear are largely furnished by De
troit industry.
The steering gear must be con
structed to stand the constant vi
bration and strain to which IL is sub
jected, n strain which is a severe test
of the wearing qualities OF metal The
design is practically standard, all
makers OF automobiles using practi-
cally the same type. This being the
case II can be seen that IL is by
sheer superiority I'm workmanship
that Detroit manufacturers have taken
the commanding place at the head OF
this important branch Of the automo-
bile industry.

good service by pointing out the dan.

REFUSES LITTLEToN's DEMAND.
steel Committee Head viii Not Or
der Desired investigation.

Chairman Stanley, of the steel COM
miJtee, yesterday turned down Rep
resentative Martin Littleton's demand
for an investigation of the recent attacks
on the New York member growing out
of his alleged overcOrdiality for the steel
trust. Although Mr.. Littleton said last
night that he had a majority of the COM
mittee with him, and thought he could
force the investigation, it is probable he
will be forced 10 air his grievance in the
House of Representatives by making it
a matter of personal privilege.
In letter demanding an investigation
man Stanley to summon the following
editor of the New York Press; Jackson
New York Press: David Lamar, a bear
operator of Wall street; II. b. Martin,
secretary of the National Antitrust
League; Thomas A. Schulteis, counsel for
the league, and Robert w. Wooley, spe-
Cial investigator of the steel investigat-
ing committee.
Answering Representative Littleton's s
demand, Chairman Stanley yesterday aft
ernoon wrote LittletOn that he has no
power to call the steel committee to-
gether TO investigate a question of per-
sonal integrity of one of its members.
He declined to issue the subpoenas on
the ground that the committee lacked
Jurisdiction to investigate the New York
Press charges. The chairman expressed
regret, and suggested that Littleton take
the matter to the floor of the House.

JAMES r. MANN GETS
BROTHER OF TAFT BIRD
Like White HOUSE GobbIer 1t Comes from Rhode
Island and Boasts a Pedigree.

With due apologies to Colly Cibber,
am taking the liberty of paraphrasing
his sentences by writing that while II
may not be for mortals to command a
Presidential Rhode Island turkey for
Thanksgiving, yet there are folks that
do better and deserve them. That is
why there has been sent by Adams Ex-
press to-day to you. at the Highlands,
a genuine Rhode Island turkey, a brother
or sister of the fellow which has gone
to the White House by the same ex-
press
The father was wild bird from Vir-
ginia, and the mother . domestic bird
from Rhode Island. Hence, he ought to
be pretty good. because he combines the
freedom of the South with all the re-
puted culture of New England.
The Highlands will have a grand
feast" commented the minority leader.

breaking attendance at every stop made
to-day the Popes Creek farmers special
educational train, which was operated by
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Maryland Agricultural College, completed
its third annual tour of Prince George

Although a drizzling rain continued all
day many farmers came from miles
around to hear the talks and remained
with the train during the entire trip.
From the first stop to-day until after
the session here this evening the lee
turers were busily engaged in their ef-
forts to leave with the Popes Creek
farmers some few points on modern agri-
culture, which win enable them to in
crease their crops.
At Cox the principal of the public

twenty school children, came specially
