Ford Company Breaks
Production R e cOrd
Big Detroit Automobile Plant Turns
Out 1900 Cars in One
Month.

Another production record In the au-
tomobile industry was shattered last
month, when the Ford Motor Company
built and shipped from its factory more
than 1900 cars This is by far and
away the largest number Of automo-
biles ever constructed IN, one month by
any company. It is more cars than the
company built during the entire first
year of it's existence.
Since the beginning Of it's manufactur-
ing year in October. when it was an
nounced the company intended building
100 600 cars this season, this announce
ment, coming close on the heels OF that
stating the company had built more
than 10000 cars last year, proved almost
too startling for those not familiar with
this gigantic business to grasp.
When the announcement was first
made very few papers in the country
quoted II Alright. most 0f them oelieV,
ing that a pardonabie exaggeratiou had
been made, or else that the person who
wrote the figures had let hts fingers
slip and had not corrected the resultant
error.
Der. IL was announced by the company
that more cars had been built ana
shipped from the factory that single
month than had been built ana shipped
during OCTOBER, November anu DeSeH-
Der, last year. the hitherto incTeduious
began to sit up and take notice.
December, however, was only be-
ginning. Manufacture began at the Ford
factory with a rush with this new year.
From the first day Of the month until
January IS there was a rapid mounting
OF production figures. on this latter
date all previous records we're DISCOUNT
ed The company built and shipped out
IN this single day 1886 cars This figure
was not surpassed during the balance OF
the month. -.
But those closely in touch with the
situation do not think that January,
1913, win go down in history as the
banner manufacturing month Of 1913 for
the Ford Motor Company.

The Tread That
Makes the Brake
Effective
Goodrich Safety
Tread Tires
Best in the Short Stop.

0eSC In the OnOEL SLOp,
Goodrich Safety Treads not only
give you safety and sureness aHthe
time, driving, turning or stopping
They naturally give you longer Wsar
-grtafer tire Vaias.
The rows of five thick, tough rubber
fingers repeated around the usual
thick, tough Goodrich rubber tread
adddurability thesafety.
They are not separate parts-they
are made right in the tread, an
extra thickness of splendid rubber,
compounded in the Goodrich way,
which has forty three years Of
rubber experience in it.
This extra thick, tough tread is
obviously certain to give you more
mileage.
Goodrich Safety Tread tires are not
emergency propositions. They are
made for all day and all night work,
if you so wish to use them.
In addition to the safety and Sc
curity they give you it is worth
your while 10 consider the extra
value and service you secure in
them
The five thick, tough rubber fingers
of the Goodrich Safety Tread, all
the time your car is running, are
digging right down through the
mud. slush, ooze or other slipperi-
ness, and making a constantly clean
safe path.
The human hand-grip they get on
the road or street is a powerful de-
tense against any chance OF a skid.
Goodrich Safety Tread Tires are
made just as all Goodrich Tires are
aade-unit nodded construction.
The strips of fabric, pure rubber,
and thick, tough tread are literally
nodded into a unit in our single
inflammation.
This is one reason why Goodrich
treads do not strip or peel.
Your tire dealer viii show you the
Goodrich Safety Tread F; he will not
need to explain it, for its principle
And sureness are self evident.

WIFE ENDS ESTATE FIGHT
Compromises for Larger Share
of Rubeps S2.30O.OO0.

The appraisal OF the estate OF Alex
ander Rubel. retired banker. who died
June IS. 1912. was fled in the Surrogates'
Court yesterday. 1t fixed the gross value
al $3.50 7es. Debts Of g, sGs,sO5 reduced
the net value TO s2.3s3,s6l. Mr.. Rubel pro-
vided in his will that his wife should re-
ceive a life income from $4,000 The
residue he left 10 two sons and a daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Rubel filed a contest OF the will in
the Surrogates' Court, alleging that her
husband was not OF sound mind when he
executed his will and that, as he was not
a citizen OF the United States. his estate
should be distributed under the laws Of
Switzerland. Of which he was a native.
The action was compromised by each Of
the two sals Of Mrs. Rubel setting aside
from their share OF their fathers estate
trust fund of $4,000. giving their mother
the income from 5000. in addition 10 the
provision made for her in the Will. huoel
had only 25 cash on hand at tho time
Of his death. The bulk OF the estate was
in the form OF securities.
Rubel had a banking business in zurich.
Switzerland. When he came 20 New YORK
in 1902 he continued the business there
through an agent. lie kept II up to pro
vide employment for his clerks although
the business was not active.

Slaves Sold Many Times.

The outcome Of the transaction usually
is that the brides father sells his slave,
having spent most Of his money on the
wedding feast, and the child is sold and
sold again until finally he reaches some
Filipino family far distant from his native
hills.
Another cause Of slavery IS the aban-
donment. now almost complete. OF a Gus
tom 70 kill all orphans They used 10 be
considered a burden 10 society and were
disposed Of by death. Now they are sold.
In another report. M Silver tells Of the
baptism Of a Negrito girl. Practically all
Negritos are put on the parish records.
The baptism establishes ownership. as
does the registration Of a COW or horse
and also serves as an excuse for the
statement that the slave has been adopted
into the family Of the owner. a padre at
one place told Mr.. Silver that children
three years old are worth about 80 pesos.
but that prices run as high as go pesos.
The padre said that Negrito youngsters
were frequently given away between
friends. Another report tells Of the &C
QUESTION Of Negrito boy by man at
Bacolor The boy was given" 10 this
man by another person who got him from
some one else for 80 pesos.
The boy" says the report, was capt
ured wild in the hills west OF Lubao. ana
has not yet been domesticated. For THIS
reason he has 10 be penned up IN his
present owners house. So far as l bave
been able 10 learn, he has not been mis-
treated, except that he has been de-
prived OF his liberty. and that when com
PEELED 10 take bath he raises an a"fui
disturbance"
John w. Hunter, an acting chief district
auditor under Mr.. Phipps also submitted
report. He says that he has been IN
the islands since 1899 and has visited
every province. His observation has been
that the largest percentage Of real slavery
exists in provinces adjacent 10, or In part
inhabited by. hill tribes. or so-called non
Christians. He has observed that human
beings are sold quite frequently This Is
not only for servants. but there Is also
considerable traffic in girls.
When he was in Cebu last year he was
personally offered boys and girls for D.
30 and 40 pesos. The cause or II all was
the scarcity OF food. Mr.. Hunter SAYS
peonage exists in all parts OF the Islands
and in many instances practically
amounts 10 slavery The most common
method is the debt system, where natives
are placed in the debt Of some one well
TO do and kept there by various means
the rest of their lives.
A report from Iloilo says that there is
no slavery in that district, but that peon-
age IS general. and is run on the debt
system Poems are transferred from one
master to another upon the payment OF
the poems debt.
An auditor stationed in Cebu illustrates
the debt system by telling Of seeing a
peon fined "a pesos for stealing an axe
worth about pesos. The man has TO
work out the fine, which is imposed not
as punishment, but as a means OF Keep
ing him on the plantation. Other Of Mr..
Phippss agents reported slavery ana
