MASTER CARBURETER ON

said Sales Manager w. M. jenkins
of the Master Carbureter corporation,
after the Detroit meet, I'VE do like
to know that racing drivers recog-
nize In our product an instrument
that will add to the efficiency of
their cars and also add to the econ

tories. but we have also won other
victories, silent as 1t were, In the in.
stallation Of our carbureters ON cars
fitted with more prosaic motors than
those on the big racing cars. The
growth Of our business has been
phenomenal and has been due to our
success In outfittings on pleasure and
commercial cars. The recent s00-mile
truck run in California Is an instance,
for In this run majority of the sue.

PREMIER-NEIDELY MOTOR

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP OF

The thermo-syphon system Of cool.

tempt is made to cut down the selling
price of car, but II seems to me
that It Is not the most reliable system
to meet all the conditions that the
motor car II subjected to-" said Paul
r. McKenney. OF the McKenney-Dev-
lin Co.. distributors, In this territory
for the Haynes, Americas First Car.
The thermo-syphon system de-
ponds directly upon the difference
In temperatures OF the water at
different points Of the system.
As the motor warns UP, the hot
water rises to the top and flows
to the highest point Of the system
which should be the top of the radiat-
or, and the cooler water flows In from
the bottom of the radiator and up
through the water Jacket of the motor
to take the place OF the hot water.
"This action is due to the difference
in density of warm and hot water
hot water Is lighter and rises to the
top, while cold water Is heavier than
warm water and sinks to the bottom.
or course, this system Is the cheap

ARMY OF PEACE in
FORDMOTOR PLANT
Big Representations From War
ring European Nations Work
Side by Side

The fact that the factory is more
than 10000 cars behind orders Tor
immediate delivery, offers rather
striking proof that the Ford Motor
Co.. like other great purely American
institutions. Is not feeling the effects
OF the great war. SO far AS the Ameri-
can market IL concerned.
However, war news Is being fol-
lowed with tremendous interest in
the huge shops At Highland Park.
There IL very human reason for
this. as the following interesting fg.
ures will demonstrate.
In the enormous army of Ford EN-.
ployes the Triple Alliance 10 repre-
scented by COG Germans. 269 Hungar-
ians. $50 Roumanians. 3SS Austrians
and $50 Syrians. There are also 81
Turks and $50 Italians and Sicilians.
The Triple Entente, on the other
hand. has among the Ford workmen
$50 English. 1873 Scotch. LAB Irish. 226
Canadians, three Australians, 2,016
Russians. 2.677 Poles, % Lithuanians,
Is Creations. 55 Fronchmen. 81 Danes,
six Belgians, rs Hollanders, three
Japanese and 210 Servians.
|. Aside from their heart-interest In
the fate OF their co,intrymen and rel
atives and former homes, these new
Americans are In no way involved In
the great European struggle. Few OF
them are obligated to military duty.
Practically all OF them are more than
content to keep the freedom and
prosperity and content of the new
country of their adoption. Also. they
are becoming American citizens very
rapidly, these children OF troubled
fatherlands. About rs Ford employees
are taking out naturalization papers
every week In Highland Park.
There are more than 1000 Ford
workmen enrolled In classes which
meet four days week in the factory
from 1880 to p. m. Here English
Is taught by Ford teachers. This. too
Is q tremendous factor in the Ameri-
canization Of the Ford army.
The reason assigned why there are
SO many Russians and Poles In the
Ford factory, 2,016 and 2,877, respec-
lively, is also Interesting. These new
Americans, coming from such oppres-
sion and poverty and discomfort, and
so delighted with their newsfound
liberty and opportunity, invariably
write home over the seas to their
kindred and even advance them
money to Join them In the wonderful
new world. Also, the Russians and
Poles are among the most ambitious
and alert In the Ford army OF peace.
