they never saw Fuchs any longer. They

heard Fuchs denounce Koenig as a

and they learned that koenig had dis
charged him. They worked with Fuchs
and finally succeeded in breaking hin
down. Whereupon they led him to Capt.

turned him over to the Department OF

BRUSH GIVES WAY TO SPRAY IN PAINTING
 THE PAIGE CLASSIC
One of Progressive Innovations at Large Plant in Detroit-Saves
 Time and Adds to Quality

How the motor car industry has re- placed the older method of manufacture with modern and more scientifically ef- flcient ideas can be illustrated in 100 ways in many of the larger Detroit automobile plants.
 One of the progressive innovations that always is especially interesting to visitors at the factory of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company is the method of painting the chassis. wheels, tanks and other parts Most laymen would imagine that slapping the paint on with brush would do for these parts of the car. for in the minds of most people the fine finishing and painting Is confined to the body.
 With the Paige cars, however, this is not so. The paint is applied to the chassis, wheels. gasoline tanks, etc., by means of spray through which the paint Is forced by power The advantages of this method are numerous and import ant. In the first place. 1t applies the paint in far more effective way than is possible by brush. resulting in quail ity tha, is distinctive because of its even l ness end durability. A chassis painted in this manner not only looks better, but the finish lasts longer and by preventing the possibility of rust getting under the paint adds to the life of the car. This system is also more efficient and econom- ical, saving great deal of time over the old method and increasing production as well as improving on the quality. | This paint spraying system is but one of the features of the new and improved l efficiency methods being installed in the
 Paige plant. For over year this progress | sive organization has been working on | the development of their plant to secure
 100 per cent efficiency from every de-
 partment Considerable progress has al-
 ready been made in the quality and
 quantity of production. hut this is only a i small step towards the ultimate end. Before the beginning of the new year , the Paige company's facilities which in- |clude an addition to the plant costing
 $aOo0o0 and most modern mechanical equipment in the shops. will enable them
 to turn out 125 Paige ''sixes'' every work I ing day.

Marvels of Big Guns

From the time the ingots of steel, some of which are nearly 100 tons in weight. from which big guns are manufactured, are taken from the steel foundry where they are cast as octagonal masses, when, as complete weapon, the gun is tested to prove its power and accuracy, scores of intricate processes are gone through;
 mass of steel Is dealt with by the ma chine shop, where a hole is made in each ingot in what Is known as 2 repanning machine. Under a hydraulic prosN of 10, 600 tons power. 1t is next forged to reduce to g tube or jacket of the required length and thickness of metal, whereupon 1t is passed to one of the large machine shops. there to be finished to internal and ex- ternal diameters in machines ranging ur to 1S0 feet in length. The tube Is next re-heated and tempered or hardened in oil batha which are under the ground level and of great depth, 70 that the tube may be suspended vertically in bath while the heat ie steadily maintained al the required temperature by carefully controlled gas jeta,
 The tube is lowered into and lifted out of these baths by "Goliath'' cranes capa. ble of dealing with weights of 100 tont and with tubes 76 feet in length The same plant Is used>l the suhseQuent oper' ation of building up by the shrinking or process the various tubes or Jackets re quired to form the complete gun, the out CT tubes being heated before being fitted over the inner tubes, so that with th' subsequent contraction due to the reduc ton of temperature the outer tube tightly fits the inner.
 Tn some eases the guns are built uI entirely of tubes thus shrunk on; in otheI instances the strength of the tube is re inforced by tho winding of wire upon 1 and the fitting over all of the outer tube which is shrunk on.
