Under Way

Ground has been broken ut the big
Detroit plant of Dodge Bros. for ad-
ditions to their already extensive
group OF factory buildings. At pres

Is acres Of floor space and with the
addition OF the new buildings, Ave
more acres OF manufacturing space
viii De added TO the factory.
The largest OF the new buildings
will be known as the pressed steel
shop. This building will be 400 feet
long, ~ feet wide and four stories
high. though the walls and founda-
tion sre designed with strength TO
carry ultimately six stories.
To give access to the new buildings
from the new assembling plant, the
latter will be extended 1S9 feet at its
east end. giving II q total length OF
about 1,065 feet. A wing will be built
from II spanning the loading platform,
railroad tracks and driveways to con-
meet with the south end OF the press
ed steel shop.
The pressed steel shop will have an
area OF about 10000 90. feet while
there will be about $4,000 50. feet
In the extension to the assembling
building and the wing. On the east
side of the building about one-Quarter
It's length from each end are two
wings, 25x52 feet. In each of which
there will be an elevator 12.Sx24 feet,
while on each floor Of these wings
will be toilet, wash and locker rooms
stairways and halls.
Steel frame construction covered
with concrete will be used through.
out the first and second stories Of the
pressed steel shop, while the remain
der Of II and all the addition to the
assembling building with the joining
wing will be OF reinforced concrete
construction.
The exterior Ii to harmonic In de.

glazed doors will be OF steel unit sash
glazed with the best quality Of ribbed
factory glass. Hard maple flooring
dipped In parahne oil will be used to
finish the main floors Of each story.
The large shipping platform along
the assembling building will be ex.
tended the full length of the addition
and provision made for extension of
the electric crane tracks. At the north
end OF the pressed steel shop will be
a covered unloading platform with
necessary crane equipment. Extend
ing the full length inside of the new
building are to be two crane runways
jus. under the third floor so that mate
rial can be handled both to and from
the first and second floors.
Additions to the office building of
Dodge Bros. will make that structure
nearly eight times larger than for.
merly. At present the ONCE building
Is two-story structure, 116x52 feet.
Alterations under way will make II q
four-story building 320x72 feet at q
cost Of about 100000.
II IL estimated the cost OF the
pressed steel shop and ONCE building
will be about S660,000. With the new

For "Chidren's day" on Belle Isle
more than 10000 Detroit youngsters
were recently transported across the
great bridge that connects the city

considerable task about 1000 motor
car owners OF Detroit offered their
services. or these 1000 cars about

Ford owners who have children, and
love children, turned out en- masse.
They not only took the children to
the picnic, but they came back for
them when the shadows we're begin
ming to lengthen and the 'sandman's'
approach was evident.
The venerable guardian of the Belle
Isle bridge offers some interesting
comments on the phenomenon.

been the favored guest.

In view Of the road and the land

From any points OF view, the ideal

passengers could ride abreast Ia de-

The staggered seat is also an adj

vided with fully as much conven-
fence and freedom, as they would re-

Takes More Than One
Season to Develop
NeiU Style of Attack

While some few Of the eastern
schools, notably Yale. have succeeded
In doing wonders with the forward
pass, the east Is beginning to enter
tain the conviction that II will take
more than one season TO fully de-
velop the new open style Of attack.
The chief trouble seems to be in
developing q hasty defense that will
prevent long runs and touchdowns IN
case q pass goes wrong, and some
sort OF play that will permit the
team with the ball to do something
else II the Opposition seems to be in
position to break up the proposed
pass.
OF course there Is always an ele-
ment OF chance with every pass, but
Yale has succeeded very wen, for the
first year, In eliminating much OF the
danger element, and eastern mentors
believe that another years expert
ment will do much along that line.
But the majority Of them already are
convinced that 1t will take more than
year to do the work.

non AZ well as the philosophy Of twist
ed balls. Multitudes of fans" who
have always supposed that the banning
qualities Of a straight pitched ball
were due simply to. its swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case In this way:
Consider very smooth ball which Is
moving through still water without
spinning. There IL certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump to
the right than to the left. Therefore It
must continue to move straight for
ward. That Is good logic. But such
bali IL no more subject to logic than is
q sharp stick. The fact u that the ball
does jump sidewise and in a most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble in q Jar
Of still water. The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly a
smooth baseball Jumps sidewise irreg-
ularly as It moves through the air II
the ball In not spinning.
The explanation lies in the fact that
rapidly moving stream Of air splits
when 1t flows past ball with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets. The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward,
now downward. The condition Is the
same when the ball splits the air and
is shunted in a gianciag manner past
the bat. The only requisite for this
bafiiing effect is power In the pitchers
arm.
