Detroit manufacturer of automo-. bile carburetors has achieved the re- markabIe mechanical result, of pro- iucing a carburetor every 22.1 second Dn the average This is record pro- auction which is Astounding when it Is considered that the firm produces these in two small buildings, one a shree-story structure and the other a ground-door addition. The total floor space is approximately 50,000 sq- fit.
 The output mentioned above took into consideration the production of i've consecutive weeks. and not that of some specfaId ally run This was a record produetfom and was reve- 1ation to the management, because. they thought they were formerly working at maximum efficiency and were surprised to find that there were still greater possibilities without re sorting to night work.

AXEL RAHM WRITES
OF EUROPEAN WAR

Axel Rahm, son-in-law Of Robert
Rand. who with his wife is now resid'
ing at Helsingborg, Sweden. his native
land, but who for many years lived in
Hood River. where he has many friends.
writes the following letter concerning
conditions in Europe at the present
time. when conditions chaotic in nature
are existing on account Of the war.
Editor Glacier: Never before in the
history of the world have such utterly
chaotic conditions existed on the Euro
pean or any other continent. When
you look at map of Europe and OBJ
serve how closely the different nations,
countries and races are packed together
and consider how intimately connected
they are by international comunica-
tions, by financial relations, by postal
service. by social intercourse. by mutu-
al discoveries and scientific researches,
by marriage and by everything that
usually makes one nation what it is,
you may be able to imagine what the
situation is now, after hell broke loose
yes, | said hell
1t is no wonder that the Adventists
in America, as newspaper dispatches
from that country inform US, declare
the end of the world is at hand. One
would almost be tempted to turn Ad-
ventist, or believe as they do, so as not
to be considered being behind the times
in knowledge as to what might seem
quite appropriate.
We have heard much about and per-
haps felt little proud over the old
European civilization and culture, its
learning and scientific achievements,
its discoveries and inventions. Al
though the birth of Christianity is not
accredited direct to Europe, yet there
it was Graded, fostered and brought to
maturity in all its different variations.
There it is where Christian thoughts.
Christian brotherhood and Christian in
tluence have been inculcated, by fair
means or foul, for nigh sonto two
thousand years. True, these facts have
not served to maintain any particular
good will among the different races
and nations; rather the opposite,
should say. Still, it was in Europe the
first movement towards eternal peace
was started. by the proposal Of the
Gar of Holy Russia to establish per-
manent international court of arbitra-
tion, where all differences arising be-
tween the civilized nations could and
should be settled. To this proposal
most nations willingly consented with
the exception of Germany, who grudg-
ingly agreed to be present at a prelim-
mary conference. That country has
ever since been more or less hostile to

Traction Expert, Yielding to

of Rails and Gives Results

ASSERTS STEEL is
OUT OF ALIGNMENT
One Rail Higher Than Other and
Conditions Generally Likely
To Cause Accident

pert. having yielded TO repeated re-
quests TO examine the tracks on Oak

on, May .. striking a south-bound
Fourteenth car and causing a wreck
in which two men were killed, testi-
fed in Coroner Rothacher's inquest,
Monday morning. that the wreck was
caused by poor track.
Mr. Bancroft examined the track
for 100 feet south OF Philadelphia
ave. He found that the track on
which the Victor car was travelling
is out or alignment as much as 1l/l6
OF an inch. and that the deviation
is as much on one side OF straight
line as on the other Further, he
found that the rails are not parallel
In their deviations. Third. he found
that the west rail is little higher
than the east rail, except at one
point. where II dips about a quarter
OF an inch below the level OF the
east rail. Fourth, he found the lip
OF the girder groove-faii worn and
in some places broken.
All these conditions, Mr. Bancroft
testified, are likely TO produce an os-
lcillating movement of a car, which,
when the car strikes a broken place
in the track groove, may cause the
| lip OF the track to act as a switch
point, throwing the car on the rails
| Mr.. Bancroft declined TO fix the
exact spot at which the car went of
the track; but, questioned by Assis-
tant Corporation Counsel Tarsney.
he said that a man living near the
corner OF Philadelphia and Oak
land-aves., had seen him inspecting
the track. and had shown him a
piece OF steel, about five inches long.
A which he said he had picked up at
the spot where the Victor car had
left the track. The ms fitted this
piece into the lip OF the girder

The net increase in assessed valua-
ton amounts TO S34542,43O. OF which
about $32,0O0,000 represents real es-
tate and the balance personal prop
erty. The increase in the value or
the city's real estate reached the ex-
pectations OF the experts, but che
falling of In personals was sur.
prise. The assessors explain that the
new tax law on mortgages and bank
stock will mean steady loss in per
sonals from year TO year. The big
gest loss was In the downtown wards
