who sits on the bench.
To see these four men in a crit
teal game is liberal education in
baseball skin and strategy. With the
bat they are q quadruple menace to
the opposing team. In the field they
ring the diamond like a wall: and 1t
is a lucky batter who can find a
breach in their flashing defense.
Above all, they play with their heads.
Cool, confident, masters of their sci
ence and of themselves, they coop
crate in attack and resistance with
the deadly precision of a machine,
yet with the suppleness OF finely
trained intelligence.
And one of the happiest features
of their supremacy Is their youth.
Barring accidents. they will dazzle

Lubrication Is

Soap and Water

DETROIT, MICH, March 14.--Lu-
IRRIGATION ami sanitation take on ~ new
Significance when applied to a
plant that turns out approximately
q thousand cars a day and employs
about $4,000 men. With the Ford
Motor company these two necessities
involve an extraordinary amount of
material and labor. For example,
there are 500 men, a force large
enough to run many a factory, in
the main Ford plant at Highland
Park, Detroit, who do nothing but
scrub. These men are employed ip
seven days week. Their work il
the main feature OF the labor neces-
sary to keep the Ford plant tidy.
When the average person thinks OF
fabrication, he naturally thinks of
oil. However, a great deal OF lu-
brication at the Ford plant Ia achiev-
ed with coed old soap and water.
That Is to say, the work OF grinding
machines. for example. Is conducted
with q cutting compound, the main
ingredients of which are soft soap
and water. The factory uses 5000
gallons Of this compound daily. It
Is made from 2,500 pounds OF soft
soap, ESQ gallons of OIL and $500
gallons Of water. It ii cooked with
steam in three tanks. each hav:ng q
capacity of 500 gallonA There are
Ave miles Of pipe used to convey this
cutting compound through the fac
tory.
