FIGURES.

The Ford Motor Company in its Off
cial bulletin, 1.-THE Ford Times, esti-
mates its production for the fiscal
year ending July 31st, 1917, to be
600 900 cars. In this connection it is
interesting to compare the figures for
material used in the production of
these ears as showing the immensely
of this business in comparison with
other lines of manufacturing and in
dustrial achievement.
About $50, 900 tons of steel will be
used in the production of these 100000
cars. This is enough to furnish all
the steel required to make steel ran
ges for every kitchen in New York
City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Columbus, st.
Paul, Savannah, Richmond and Louis
vile.
2,450,000 square feet of plate glass
are used in a year in making Ford
windshields; enough to fill 100000
windows, or to give ample light to
1000 average homes.
Four carloads of Spark Plugs are
used every month.
30,000,000 square feet of upholster-
ing in 100000 Ford cars. This would
make 1.S75,000 fve-piece parlor suits.
Il, 800, $40 pounds of hair are used in
the upholstering. This would make
997,396 of the regulation hair matt
resses, enough to sleep 997,396 per-
sons each night.
6~9,267,000 square feet of rubber
cloth material are used in the making
of tops. If made into raincoats it
would supply n each for $500, 900
men.
100000 lamps are required and
400. 900 each of wheels and tires.
The electric headlights in a years out
put of Ford ears represents a total of
10, 1000, 900 candle power. equal to 49,
200 ordinary arc street lights. This
is enough to illuminate a city of 81
square miles area, or a population of
loo, 900. The city of Detroit with a
population of nearly 100000 has but
400 arc lights.
1t will require 10000 freight cars
to bring in the supplies and carry
away the manufactured product for
this years operation of the Ford fac
tory. 10000 of these freight cars will
be outgoing, equal to 1880 trains of
fifty cars each, or the departure daily
of a loaded train every hour and a
half.
Running in line two hundred (200)
feet apart, this years output of Ford
cars would encircle the world (25, 900
miles) and every driver would be
within hail of the car ahead.
And so we might go on with facts
and figures of this most wonderful
enterprise and still be far short of a
proper conception of the magnitude of
its daily operations.
One fact alone stands out clearly to
anyone giving these figures the
thought to which they are entitled
this ~stupendous growth could not be
possible if the product had not been
satisfactory.

my recent trip to the Far East, Granted
that there are exceptions. the large ma
1ority of the women In the Orient are
either toys or drudges.
In British North Borneo l saw large
crowds of women with stolid expressions,
crushing stones in the quarries, or doing
pick-and-shovel work in the streets un-
der the tropical sun. They all wore black
cotton coats and trousers, and large, per-
fectly fiat hats of cane. with black cot

called Haki women. Their husbands In
the majority of cases, dreamt their days
