Says a Few Kind
Words for Hendrix

Marty O'Toole cost Barney Dreyfus
owner OF the Pittsburg club. $50, 500.
IL Dreyfus didn't really pay $22.s0o
no paid enough. That's . ctnch.
Claude Hendrix Joined the Pirates
upon receipt OF q railway ticket.
Hendrix arrived without the press
agenting which preceded the highest
priced pitcher on earth. and when
the curtain fell on the season of 1919
he was credited with twenty-five
games won and rine lost
Which 10 a helnva sight better re-
cord than OToole made.
Hendrix was one OF the reasons
why the Pirates finished so high In
the league race. In addition to cop
ping twenty-five games. he helped
O'Toole and others win games by re-
lteving them when the Smelling became
too heavy.
Manager Clark never favored Hen
dirk. He worked him in turn avery
fourth game, and Hendrix perform
ed equally well against all Corners.
Hans Wagner says he In sure to be-
come u great pitcher.

OUT 10000
AUTOS ON TIME
Remarkable Record Made in
Year by Cadillac
Company.

1t is a difficult matter to grasp the
significance of an Industrial achieve
ment which involves the manufae-
ture and marketing of 1000 high
grade automobiles in one veal on
schedule time. The lay mind cannot
at once appreciate the perfection
system and the perfect cooperation
necessary to bring this about. The
schedule is too big, the figures too
large and the details too multitudin-
Gus to understand unless one has
been through such a manufacturing
campaign and assisted in bringing
1t to a successful termination.
Recently the Cadillac Motor Car
Company finished its manufacturing
season. The occasion was marked by
the fact hat it mad beaten by a few
hours it's schedule for the year. A
year ago the executives mapped out
their plans to manufacture and mar
ket 1900 Cadillacs. The schedule
called for completing that number on
June %, 1912. On hat very day at
3 o'clock the last of the 1900 cars
passed through the assembling de-
partment, so the years schedule had
two and one-half hours to spare.
Plans made a year before. involving
this vas undertaking. were carried

NEW ROUTES FOR
TOURISTS OPENED
Hundreds of Miles in New
York State TO Be
Charted.

Thousands of tourists who are in
search of a new touring ground in
the East viii follow with interest al
announcement from the Touring Club
of America regarding the opening up
to motorists of hundreds of miles Of
new routes, hitherto moi charted in
the Automobile Blue Book, through
out the Champlain Valley. the most
remote sections of the Adirondack
Mountains and the st. Lawrence Val
ley.
One of the official Automobile Blue
Book Thomas Sc. cars has just left
New York on the most extensive pio-
neering trip ever planned in this de-
Hghtful touring country. Hundreds
of miles of roads will be carefully
charted for the benefit of those who
wish to tour in these sections where
heretofore only the main travelled
highways, which al often not the
most alluring to the tourist. have
been known
In connection with this mission
the clubs representatives will confer
with the officers of the boards of
trade. chambers of commerce, good
roads associations and State and
county highway authorities with a
view to boosting the "better-roads-

out to the dot. which is exaellent evil
dence of efficiency, both in the depart
mento Of production and of sales. Only
the most rigid and intelligent of sys-
TENS could achieve results of this ma
ture-results which involve an enor-
nous physical undertaking and ex-
ceptional executive ability.
, The manufacturing system is too
involved and technical to permit of
ready explanation. but a glimpse of
the distribution idea a be given
briefly. When the Cadillac plans for
manufacture and distribution were
formulated three dealers were each
allotted a certain number of cars, TO
be shipped in monthly instruments
The dealer. therefore. knows just
what he can depend upon and sells
against his allotments.
This season completes ten years CT
motorcar manufacturing by the Cal
lilac Company. and this is the fourth
year in succession that the company
has made an absolute cleanup of its
product on schedule time, avoiding
the necessity of carrying a single
car over into the succeeding year.
During the ten years of production
the Cadillac Company's output has
reached a sales value of approx
mately ninety millions of dollars.
Manufacturing and sales efficiency
are due largely to perfect cooperation
and is dependent on no single de-
partment or on any special official.
Undue dominance would spoil the
unity of the plan. the smoothness of
the fast-running machine.
The Cadillac, plant is in operation
fifty weeks in the year. The other
two weeks are devoted to vacation,
inventory. overhauling machinery
and the like.
After the 1912 vacation the plant
reopened on July Is and work COM
menced on a largely increased pro-
duction for 1918.

child's play, and if upon the particu-
lar morning on which you were to be

met with a fine drizzling rain, as II

before the various officers We're very
mysterious and had many whispered

the morrow.
An effort was made to learn soms-
thing about the commercial vehicle
invasion, as the Blue and, Red armies
were moving most of the heaviest
camp material on motor trucks.
The baggage train of an army is
about as precious to it as the honey
sack is to the bee. The outposts OF
the Red and Blue in one particular
camp vas loaded upon seventeen or
eighteen motor trucks of various
sizes and capacities-mostly of the
three-ton. After a drizzling rain of
from three to four hours conditions
are NOT exactly ideal for motor trucks

MONUMENT ERECTION
AT VALLEY FORGE

Arrangements have been completed
for the erection at Valley Forge, of
the monument in honor of the posi-
tion held by the New Jersey Brigade
under the command of Brigadier Gen.
eral William Maxwell during the
memorable siege of 1777-1778.
The monument is the product of the
stone works Of the @. J. Hammel
Company at Pleasantville, where it
has been designed and chiseled. The
memorial monument is ten feet, six
inches square, rising to the height of
thirty-fye feet. Four granite bases
form the foundation and bear the
bronze tablet, above which will be a
bronze reproduction of the colonial
coat-of-arms used by the State. The
shaft, also of granite, is to be sur
mounted by figure of Colonial
Soldier standing in his bronze still
ness, eight feet in height. The legis-
lature has appropriated $4,000 for
this monument, all Of which will be
utilized in its erection.
A handsome colonial arch being
erected by the Government at a cost
of 100000 and the new station of the
Reading Railroad, all parts of the
scheme for the Identification of Val
ley Forge, are near the New Jersey
monument.
The Camden Lodge of Elks has
been selected to lay the cornerstone
Of this shaft on November IL. Other
New Jersey lodges of this order will
receive invitations to attend.
