new SHOPS FOR
JEFFERY firm
Two Big Buildings Will Be
Erected This Summer at
Kenosha (Wis.) Plant.
LATEST DEVICES PLANNED
Tnpled Demand for Popular Motor
Car Causes Company to
Enlarge Factory.

AS a result of the tripled demand for
Jeffery motor cars and trucks the Thorn
as b. Jeffery Company will add two big,
ultra-modern shop buildings to their huge
plant at Kenosha, Wis, this summer
Plans for the new structures are being
rushed through to completion by a firm
of Chicago architects
Work will be started first on a new
foundry. This building will measure 125x
600 feet, will be one-story high and of re-
enforced concrete. Nothing will be left
undone in the way of equipment, and
when the building is finished It will be
second to none OF its kind in the country.
1t will provide another splendid unit in
the organization under whose roof is
made 90 per cent OF every Jeffery car put
on the market.
The architects combed the country for
advanced ideas of foundry construction
The roof of the big building will be, for
example, so constructed as to make
smoke and gases a negligible quantity
inside. 1t will be built sawtooth style,
with the windows so arranged as to open
automatically every so often and clear
the air inside. The Jerfery Company has
ever gone the limit in safeguarding the
health and safety of their employees
All the latest and very best devices to
be found in any factory will be installed
III lne lie" duulIlOn 10 the JeHery WORKS
Castings Of gray iron, aluminium. and
bronze will be produced.
The ither building planned by the JEFF
fiery Company will be five stories high
and constructed of concrete. It will be
devoted exclusively to the manufacture
OF car bodies. and WILL contain the most
modern kilns for seasoning the lumber
used. Jeffery is one of the few compa-
MES that manufactures its own bodies
Just now the Jcffery plant Is straining
its every facility. with day and night
shifts working, in an effort to keep pace
with the countrywide demand-not to
mention orders from foreign countries
for the new Jeffery Six and Jerfery -Four
The Jeffery Six Is the car that, intro
duced at the New York and Chicago
shows with scarcely a line of advertising,
literally sold itself. 1t won immediate at
tention by its combined features of beau
ty and smooth power, and became the
talk OF the whole automobile industry It
is doubtful II any other car ever met such
instantaneous success
The Jeffery Company has $3.50 men on
its payroll, and that this big force will
be increased soon is inevitable. at pres
ent the Jetfery plant occupies 1O1 acres
Of ground area, OF which twenty-six
acres are under roof.

With Federal good roads legislation
disposed of, and the Senate and House
measures in the hands of the conferees,
the American Automobile Association will
now devote its efforts toward securing
the passage OF the Adamson bill before
the conclusion of the present Congress.
Nearly three million users of aUtomo-
biles have an interest in the Adamson
open-door policy. which briefly gives the
self-pro PEELED vehicle the same Interstate
rights as are now possessed by horse
drawn wagons and carriages; in fact 1t

HAS BUILT CARS
FOR l9 YEARS
James G. Heaslet, of Stude-
baker Corporation, a
Pioneer Designer.
A MAN OF BIG VISION
Has Made Specially of Manufacturing
Machines that Will Not Become
Obsolete in Year.

James G. Heaslet, vice president OF
charge of engineering and production OF
the Studebaker Corporation. belongs to
the limited few who have been in the au-
tomobile industry practically since its in
ception.
Due to Mr.. Heaslet's modesty more
than to any other single factor. it is not
generally known outside the automobile
industry, and particularly among the old
timers. that he first designed an auto
mobile some nineteen years ago-when
the automobile industry was ''in its
swaddling clothes" But now that he has
developed the Studebaker product up to
the point where this year 10000 Stude-
baker cars must be built to meet the de-
mand, 1t Is a difficult matter for him to
hide his light under a busheP' any
longer
1t is a far cry from the first horseless
carriage which Mr.. Heaslet designed to
the present highly developed Series II
Studebaker four-cylinder and six-cylin-
der models. Yet through all the years
he has never deviated from his policy OF
adhering to a dignined design Of the
product for which he was responsible; Of
so designing a car, for instance, that the
owner would not find his automobile be-
coming obsolete in a year.
1t is doubtful II any business has held
out greater temptations to engineers to
change from a well-defned ideal to a
whlm of the moment than has the auto
mobile industry. 1t has been an industry
of Aladdin-like changes and meteoric
growth; an industry where things happen
so fast as to make men engaged in It
lose sight of the biggest ideals, or at
least sink those ideals behind some trend
OF the moment
Tha- Mr.. Heaslet. through all the years
OF his association with the automobile
industry. has been a man of vision is
more apparent today than ever before
History shows that the ideas, untried
and experimental. which he refused to be
swsyed by sprang into existence only to
disappear again.
Mr. Heaslet is an engineer by profess
sion, yet he combines his ability to design
with rare appreciation of what sort of
automobile the people want and will buy
1t Is my experience that people have
changed in their ideas Of what counts for
most in an automobile" says Mr.. Heas-
let. They are no longer swayed by
unique or novel design, but by real worth.
They want the car that offers the most
all-around value for the amount of money
they are willing to spend, and they use
common-sense methods in determining
that value. They look for power. dieni.
ned design, roomy comfort easy-ridfne
quality, good looks that do not become
obsolete IN year, and the ability of the
car TO stand up under hard usage. The
great majority OF buyers will choose a
car that is A well-balanced unit rather
than car Of faddish design or one that
Is over-developed in one or two points

Dramatists own Library Now on
View in London.

London, April 25.-At the London Ii
brary there is to be seen a small collec-
ton OF what may be described as Shake
speare's books-books read and used by
the great dramatist One Of them
is Sir Edward Sullivan's copy Of the
first edition of Guazzo's "Civie Conver-
sation," 1881. Shakespeare's indebted
ness to this guide to elegant manners
and dignified conversation is well known
to students.
Hollinshed's Chronicles" 1877, is one
Of the cornerstones of every Shakespeare
library. Esop's Fables is another well
known Shakespeare book of which nine
editions were issued between 1893 and
l641, most of which now only survive
In unique copies. Stoves edition of
Chaucer's 'Woorkes," 1851. and Covers
De Cornerstone Amantis," 1854, are also
shown, as well as a copy Of the third
edition of Sir Phillip Sidney's Arcadia, /"
1898
No copy of the first edition except q
fragment, is known Of the Hero and
Leander" of NARROW and Chapman, and
all early editions are of the greatest
rarity, and so a copy of the 1922 has
been lent by DR.. Cox who also lends the
"Poeticall Essayes' of Samuel Daniel
1899 in which is included The Complaint
Of Rosamond." The very fine copy of
Puttenham's "Arte of English Poesie"

Soldiers wives Have Unpleasant
Surprise at Frankfort Theater.

Paris, May 2O.-"Married women whose
husbands are at the front have only to
present themselves at the box office on
their way out to obtain repayment Of
the sum paid for their seats
All the Frankfort camera houses last
Saturday, the Figaro says, flashed this
sentence on their screens at the first in
termssion of the show and thereby pro-
duced a rush to the office. There a sec
ond surprise met the women, who ha d
hoped that the management wished to
show sympathy with those whom the
war had deprived Of their husbands, for
they were met by a police sergeant and
several policemen who marched them all
to the station.
There they were told that as they had
enough money to go to the movies it
was evident that they did not need the
allowance made to them owing to their
husbands absence and therefore their
allowance would be suppressed.
PerAdious proceedings, comments the
Figaro, dishonest, but not entirely justi-
fed.

WOMEN RUN WAR HOSPITAL
Constitute Whole Stan from SUR

London, May ga hospital in which
only the patients are men is one ~
the war time innovations IN London
II is In Endell street near Covent Gar
den Market and the entire stafr, from
cooks to surgeons are women The in
stitution is the oUtgrowth Of a movement
known as the Women's Hospital Corps
A little body OF women left England
for France in the early stages of the
war to nurse the wounded soldiers, but
later they were called back. as they were
needed even more urgently to care for
the many wounded soldiers brought home
to England.
From this small beginning the hospi-
tai. which will accommodate 800 wounded
soldiers, sprang. The wounded soldier is
considerably surprised, If he is well
enough to take notice to be brought to
the hospital and see only women order
lies on the corridors, and women sur
geons and Physicians to attend him.
The medical staff consist of eight sur
geons under the direction Of a chief
surgeon, a dental surgeon, an apthalmic
surgeon, a pathologist. an X-ray opera
tor an anaesthetist and a number of
physicians In addition, women medical
students visit the hospital, and the en-
tire administrative supervision of the
hospital is in women's hands.

testing of our common materials to
ascertain whether there is adultera-
ton or not. A vast field of knowledge
is discovered and with great interest
the astonished girl learns these new
lessons and realizes the possibilities
of scientific knowledge.
AS practice leads to perfection, the
girls knowledge of the sewing art is
tested in the making of a gingham
and lingerie dress. Fitting and cut
ting are carefully studied, and it is
found that great art lies in these ac-
accomplishments.
The entire course of study is tenn
ing with interest for every girl, rich
or poor, great or small. In the
Ocala High School, this topic, old, yet
ever new, has peculiar fascinating
charm for all the girls. AS the true
poet delights in his thoughts of the
beautiful, as the scientist leaps for joy
at his new discovery, so the modern
girl is set afre with new enthusi-
asm when she discovers the wonders in
the domestic world.
Great results shall come forth in
the life of the girls who have be-
come interested in this wonderful
work of home economics. They learn
that home is place of peace; the
shelter, not only from all injury, but
from terror, doubt and division. Inso-
far as it is not this, it is not home;
SC far as the anxieties of the outer
world penetrate into it, it ceases to
be home; it is then only part of
that outer world which you have
rooted over and lighted fire in. But
SO far as it is sacred place, vestal
temple, temple of the hearth, watch
ed over by household Gods, so far as
it is this, it vindicates the name and
fulflls the praise of home.
| May more equipment be added to
this department, and more interest be
taken in this work, which teaches the
girls the real significance of home
life. If the interest begun continues
and encouragement is given to the
lgirls, great results shall come forth
from their efforts.

work, as an architect delights in his
occupation, so does school girl be-
come enthusiastic in her part of the
worlds work. A new light shines up
on the woman's part, it's the light OF
scientific knowledge, and this CLEAN of
golden sunlight grows brighter and
brighter as it guides her in her daily
path of duty, making her tolls light
er and more agreeable.
Another purpose of the economics
course is the teaching of sanitation in
the home. Cleanliness is next to
Goodness. What would our nation
be without it? The ESSENTIAL value of
sanitation is taught in a very com
prehensive manner to the girls, and
by the study of the conditions in the
sweat shops, an enthusiasm is arous-
ed in the heart of every girl to i'm
prove the now existing conditions of
our country.
The first years course is begun with
study of the elementary stitches,
This part of the two years course is
of utmost Importance for the reason
that each stitch must be called into
use in later progress. Then thorough
study of the growth, manufacture and
use of cotton is taken up. This topic
proves very interesting from the study
Of the tiny seed to it's growth into
the final product.
How, by the agency of labor-saving
devices, cotton is transformed into
thread and thence into mans clothing
seems indeed very wonderful ac-
complishment, and subject of end
less, charm. Samples are brought to
school, and garments of cotton ma
terial are made by the pupils.
Each girl learns that she must wear
comfortable clothing, which is suited
to the climate. The Union label league
stamp, which shows that material has
been prepared under proper condi-
tions, is fixed firmly in the mind of
the pupil and thereby a step is taken
toward the prevention of fraud by
merchants.
Next in the first years course comes
a study of linen, including the growth
of the plant, the process of prepare
ton for manufacture and the final
product of the machine. Many of our
own native land are not acquainted
with the preparation of their linen
materials. Samples are brought to
school, and simple skirts are made in
class. A study of wool is carried on
in similar manner, and this con-
cluded our first years course.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
first years course is of great benefit
and enjoyment, the second year is
even more so. Our first topic is silk,
the study of its production and manu-
facture. Samples are brought to
school and the best and most durable
kinds of silk are learned, together
with the prices which should be de-
manded for them.
Next, winter hats are made and
trimmed. This part of our work is
very beneficial and aids the girls in
becoming more economical. Silk
blouses are then our subject of work
and much care is taken that the girls
may learn to be neat and perfect in
every detail.
A division of our study during the
second years course which is of much
practical value to the girls is the
