DODGE BROTHERS
 GAN WEIGH NAME
Have Apparatus That Is Called an Analytical
 Balance

How much does your name weigh? Not with the cashier at the bank but what is the actual, physical weight of the pencil marking of your signature? Think it can't be weighed, eh? Well, it can, and if it consisted of say, seven letters and two initials with periods, the weight would be aboue four tent -thousandths of a gram. And there are 453 grams in a pound. And the delicate apparatus that weighs it could weigh it if it was a thousand times as light
 Of course the analytical balance (don't call it a scale unless you want to earn the contempt of the chemisD is not ordinarily used for weighing names. It has a definite place in laboratory work and at the plant of Dodge Brothers. Detroit, it is used in the fine tests on the composition of the materials which enter into the making of motor cars.
 But the weighing of a signature is used to carry to the lay mind the deli cacy of he instrument A piece of paper is placed on the balance and ac- curately weighed and then a name is written on the paper and it is weighed again. The difference in the weights gives the weight of the name and, as in the case cited above, tse weight of a signature of nine letters with two pe- riods was four ten-thousandths of a gram

More than 400 persons were present, the invitations having included the state representatives, fair officials, and many of the business and social leaders of San Francisco.
 The entertainment given the guests was as unique as the reception idea itself and everything else that was done by the Cadillac during the 10 months of the fair There was music by the Royal Guatemalan Marimba band, refreshments were served and moving pictures were shown of the Cadallac Eight beating the Lark from Los Angeles to San Fran cisco, series of touring scenes and Cadillac day at the exposition.
 Thus the Cadillac company brought to a fitting conclusion it's activity at the exposition Its cars were the only ones with V-type engines on exhibition, and eth6 Cadillac was the only car honored with a special day at the fair. when che certificate of the medal of honor was presented by the exposition officials The crowd in the Court of Abundance on that day was the largest that gathered in this beautiful court during the exposi- ton.

Packard Trucks Are Equipped Governor Regulating Speed

Truck Sales Manager for Packard Says Many Accidents Could Be Avoided by Universal Use of Governors All
 Commercial Vehicles

With extraordinary efforts being made by city officials and citizens in all parts of the country to reduce the number of street and traffic accidents, there has come considerable agitation for a more strict regulation of motor vehicle opera tion Several newspapers and civilians claim to have discovered a remedy for a large majority of the accidents by de- manding that al! motor trucks be equipped with automatic governors to limit their speed. The Packard Motor Car company, as pointed out by c. R. Norton, truck sales manager. saw the necessity for r such a precaution away back in 1907 when their first motor truck was produced, and have since watched the motor governor control demonstrate it's wonderful value as a safety first" device.

CHALMERS FACTORY. HAS FINE QUARTERS FOR WOMEN WORKER Excellent Lighting and Ven tilatiOn Combine to Add
 to Comforts of
 Employees

That women are in any way actively connected with the manufa curing opera tions in big automobile plant, probably never occurs to the average motorist. Yet at the Detroit factory of the Chalmers Motor company some 200 girls and women earn an excellent livelihood under condi- tions that set an example to factory owners in all sections of the country.
 Women are used to superior advantages in the manufacture of side curtains for touring cars and in departments where small parts are assembled. Heads of de- partn.ents where women are employed claimed that in work requiring neatness and accuracy, women are superior to the men employees.
 Large, airy rooms, excellently lighted from three sides, and well heated during the winter months, constitute comfort able working quarters for the women em- ployed at this kind of work.
 During the noon hour and at recrea- tional periods spacious rest rooms. equipped with easy chairs. plants and victrolas, are at the service of the women employees. The rooms are in charge of a cometent matron, hose duties extend to night visits to the homes of sick women employees, and the selection of suitable roomng and boarding places for the girls under her charge.

highly desirable in many ways says MT. Norton. They provide an important eco homie device, as regards the life of the truck, by preventing speeding and con sequent excessive wear and tear. They positively eliminate truck accidents which could result from excessive speed alone. Our heavy duty trucks are linn tied, by motor governor, to maximum speed of 12 miles per hour. This governed speed, with our unusually efficient brakes, makes it easy for even the inef- ficient driver to handle his truck safely and easily in all emergencies.
 Packard truck governors have given perfect satisfaction and superior service in the hands of thousands of drivers of widely varying degrees of skill We feel that they are a necessity as a safeguard for the delicate parts of the machine and absolutely essential as a safety first de- vice. We are heartily in favor of hay ing every truck automatically, and thus positively, governed, as a measure of pro- lection for the public"
