READ FORD FACTORY FACTS. >
II Going to Detroit Is ImpossibIe
Ask for Booklet.

In August the Ford plant at Detroit
entertained precisely 17,271 visitors. and
that breaks even the Ford record for any
single month.
For the benefit Of the visitors and also
for those who are unable to visit the
plant, the company has issued a sixty
four-page illustrated book called Ford
Factory Facts" This little book gives a
complete description of the great factory
the reader following about the same
route that the guides use in conducting
visitors through the factory. 1t contains
some marvellous facts and. while filled
with statistics, 1t is interesting as a piece
of fiction.
The latest edition OF Ford Factory

counts of the mammoth new power plant

sharing plan and the Making of Amer
icans.' by the sociological department.

Night motion photography in the
most inaccessible places, those places
where artificial light has heretofore
been unknown. has been made Dos
sible by means of an independent
travelling power plant. the fruit of the
fertile brain of Romaine Fielding.
erstwhile Lubin star and now feature
director of the Lubip Arizona Com
pany. with headquarters in Phoenix,
Ariz.
That this portable plant made out
of one of Fielding's big Mitchell mo-
tor cars. will be found invaluable for
field work where ii is impractical BILE
to run wires for miles in order to
get night photography. is the belief
of Mr.. Fielding. Not only that, but he
has completed arrangements to trans
port his entire company and a host of
properties" to Northern Arizona,
where this fall he expects to stage
pictures in the Grand Canyon, and by
means of the light from his portable
plant. to delve into the depths of the
caverns of the great crevass and to
utilize for his purpose the dark re-
cesses. caves and trails. 1t will be
the first time where the canyon has
actually been employed as stage
for the pictured drama.
The outfit, besides providing equip
ment for running wires, is also equip
ped with a powerful twelve-inch navy
searchlight of the protector type. This
is mounted on the seat beside the
driver and may be operated either
while the car is moving or standing
still. The capacity of the searchlight
is 100000 candle power and when
in operation requires 25 per cent of
the full power of the engine.
The first big picture in which the
plant will be thoroughly tested will
be The Great Divide" This will be
one of the biggest features ever at
tempted. A part of it will be taken in
and around Phoenix and the remainder
in the neighborhood of the Grand Cam
yon, using that wonderful place for
back grounds. 1t will be a twelve-reel
drama with Henry Miller and Mar
garst Anglin in the leading roles

NEW STUDEBAKER FOUR
CLIMBS HILLS EASILY
FIexibility of Motor Permits Driving
Anywhere Anytime Without Shift
ing of Its Gears.

The great power, the smoothness OF
the motor in the 1916 Studebaker Four.
with the cars roada bility have contrib
the year. Another cause for satisfac-
ton found by owners of the new -Four"
is its fieXiblity for a four-cylinder mo-
tor permitting, as it does, driving for
miles over hills and through heavy coun-
try roads, or throttling down to walk
ing speed and picking up again on city
streets. without shifting gears. Under
all circumstances and conditions the car
goes about its business like the perfect
machine it was designed and has proven
to be.
The power of the -Four seems to flow
like a liquid. so that when the foot IS
pressed upon the accelerator, it gently
picks up speed, without sputtering or
jerking. gliding along with all that per-
feet ease which lends Zest and exhilira-
ton to motoring. So perfect Is the bal
ance of the car that there is no sway
ing as it moves along. even at top speed.
1t drives straight an arrow. and so
easily that just two fingers on the wheel
is enough to keep the car in the road.
The performance of the new Stude-
baker Four has been such that it
might be easily mistaken for car with
o greater number of cylinders. Harry w.
Blevins, of Toledo. who recently made a
trip from that city to Cincinnati, aver

studebaker First to Climb Peak.

The first motor car to reach the top
Of Sacramento Mountain in New Mexico
was a Studebaker. The peak. which has
an altitude of 5000 feet, is known as
Cloudcroft 1.-The top of the world ~
Although the route lay over rough,
stony and in places trails that were
hardly broken. the Studebaker made the
upward climb of more than two miles
without the least trouble. So remark
able was the achievement that souvenir
post cards have been made from a
photograph Of the car taken at the
mountain top. The wild setting. backed
by shapely evergreens. forms an attrac-
tive picture.

How long will il be before trains can

The late Lincoln Beachey, the famous
aviator. believed this problem would be
solved successfully by engineers within
a decade. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Beachey made numerous aeronautic ex-
periments bearing upon this subject.
especially in relation to air pressure. He
believed there was a direct and important

Beachey collected is likely to be publish

The practical workout of aeroplanes in
connection with the European war and
the enormous volume of business that is
being handled in this country at the
present time in the manufacture of aero
planes has brought the subject of aero
nautics sharply to the attention of me-
Chanical engineers. 1t is believed, there

with considerable interest.

No Physical Sign Of Diseased Mind

this year, was insane when he COM

though not today. The general i'm
preston prevails, however. that the
reference of the case TO the Lunacy
Commission was the last hope for Da-
Wis, and that its adverse report means
that he must pay the extreme penalty
The date of the execution was fixed
for October 10, and he was reprieved
until Friday of this week by Governor
Goldsborough. Unless further action
is taken, Davis must hang on that date
All the circumstances relied upon to
indicate Davis's insanity were discuss
ed fully in the report submitted to the
Governor, the conclusion is:
In view of the fact that there
are no physical signs of a diseased
nervous system, that at the pres
ent time there are no signs of men
tai impairment. that there is moth
ing in the testimony of the case to
indicate that the prisoner was in
sane at the time of the murder and
that no valid testimony has been
presented to indicate that the pris-
oner ever has been insane, we are
of the opinion that Benjamin Il.
Davis is of sound mind, and was.
