"Wdr After the War" Again Being Discussed In England
Committee Industrial and Commercial Policy Reports That When Peace Comes There Should Be Some Law Planned
 to Favor Overseas Dominions in Trade

London, March 10.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press3-Discussion of the policy of a commercial war after the war" and of protective tariff for Great Britain with preferential treatment for the dominions and colonies, which had has been revived by the report of the committee on commercial and industrial policy. This report is merely a prelimi- nary one. It pronounces in favor of gen eral policies, without attempting to frame details.
 It recommends also that his majesty's government should now declare their ad- herance to the principle that preference should be accorded to the products ano manufactures of the British overseas dominions in respect of any customs duties now or hereafter to be imposed on imports into the United Kingdom" It further recommends a wider range of customs duties which would be remit ted or reduced on the products and man. ufactures of the empire, and which would form the basis of commercial treaties with allied and neutral powers"
 The pronouncement of this committee had the effect of a direct challenge to the free traders. One result of the Paris conference was the formation of a par free trade committee, with Lord Beauchamp as it's chairman, to act

FORD AXLE PROVES
 ITS HIGH QUALITY

In the rapid development of the auto mobile, probably nothing has had a greater effect, mechanically, than the de- velopment of vanadium steel, and while many people speak familiarly of vana- dium steel comparatively few know just what vanadium is, why it Is used, or what it does. Ford Times contains an interesting article on the application of this wonderful metal to the construction of Ford cars, and says:
 ''Vanadium is more of a purifying agent than an alloy. Added to molten steel during the process of making, It purifies the metal by removing certain undesirable clements, and gives to the product a strength and toughness obtain able in no other way. Even in this form it is greatly superior to ordinary steel, but when heat treated by Ford methods, the good qualities of vanadium steel be- come still more pronounced.
 Leaving out the technical terms, heat treatment is a simple affair. Research has shown that, when certain metals are heated to specified temperatu lures and then cooled in various ways, they possess dis tinctive qualities, depending on the meth cd of cooling and the degree of heat ap- piled. Therein lies the secret of Ford strength.
 Every steel part of a Ford car Is spe- cially treated for the duty it is to per- form. Some parts must be hard sur faced to resist wear, others must be tough to withstand sudden or continued shocks. Still others must combine both the wearing and shock resisting proper ties.. The Ford front axle Is one of the soft tough parts designed to resist the most severe strains and wrenches likely to be encountered"

UNDER INITIATION
 IS ALWAYS COSTLY

Now that real weather is returning and the cars are getting into active serv- ice all over the country, it seems timely to give ear owners a little reminder as to tire inflation,'' says Jewell Taylor, branch manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
 "Underinflation is always costly to the tire user Underinflation is often indulged in as a luxury. Like all other luxuries, it is usually expensive. It is our desire to enable and to help, wherever possible, every Goodyear tire user to get the most miles possible from his tires We might make more sales and more profits if tires were used up as quickly as possible. but we are believers in the kind of busi- ness built on satisfactory service We urge Goodyear tire users to let Goodyear service stations help them get more miles from their tires. Our service stations are there for that purpose just as much as they are there to sell goods. Get their advice as to imitation. Submit to their inspection Start the summer driving season right"

B|G APPERSONS
 CUT THE GAS COST
Good Motors and Light Weight Are Given as the
 Explanation

Motor circles of the city have been stirred up the last week over the grow Ing frequency of reports regarding Ap- person gasoline economy.
 Among the larger cars the Apperson has stood alone in this respect. Gasoline mileage of from IS to 15 per gallon is matter of record in so many instances that 1t has come to be an accepted fact. owners say Apperson cars are producing this mileage consistently.
 As the Apperson is 13O-inch wheelbase car, these performances in the hands of private owners has occasioned wide com. ment.
 M J. A. Linder, when questioned today re- sarding these records and the cause of them said:
 think we Apperson representatives may not have told the public enough about the way the Apperson hoards gas oline The car is actually miserly about gas.
 s of course, we've had so many reports so1 from 13 to 15 miles per gallon, month sfter month, that we've gotten used to the idea. But I find the more I investi- gate that other cars of the same size are not making anything like the same rec ords.
 You ask me how the Apperson does it? Il don't know all the reasons, but I'm sure Of two of them. One is the marvellous de-

FIRESTONE MEN
 SHARE IN PROFITS

An important page of history in Amer ican business has just been made by the Firestone Tire & Rubber company, Ak ron, O.
 With the winding up of the books on the plan of stock distribution inaugurated by H. s. Firestone, president of the com pany, the records show that over 90 per cent of the employees responded heartily to the investment offer made. Out of l2.5O0 employees, 11,000 are now stockhold- CTS in the company.
 This means that they are more than profit sharers, as that terms is generally used. The Firestone company has shown their confidence to the extent that every employe subscribing under this plan inn mediately becomes a registered stock holder and as such is entitled to all the privileges of a stockholder.

ARE SPEEDING UP
 ON PRODUCTION
One Hundred Cars Day Are Now Going Through the
 Cadillac Plant

According to the statement of Sales Manager E. c. Howard, the production of eight-cylinder Cadillacs for the month of March reached a total of 2d92 cars, and April is expected to show a sub stantial increase to reach an average ot 100 cars per day" said Herbert Drennen of the Drennen Motor Car company
 During the winter months. numerous handicaps have been experienced. caused by delays in obtaining materials in spite of foresight in placing contracts long ago, and on account of railroad con gestion both in and out of Detroit.
 "The railroad situation, however. is re- ported somewhat easier, and the material situation is now so well in hand that production so far as the Cadillac factories are concerned can be pushed to the limit ''

SETS HIS WATCH
 BY CHANDLER SIX

A motorist stopped his car at a gas filling station a few miles south of Santa Barbara recently. said Sam Morris. who Is now selling Chandlers, and asked to have his tank replenished. The garage man was eranking the pump indus triously, when a touring car rushed by at high speed. He stopped operations suddenly and drew his watch from his pocket and reset it.
 How do you know the correct time for setting your watch?" the motorst asked.

Conditions in Clarke County


 To the Editor of The Age Herald
 am glad to see, through the columns of The Age-Herald, that the business men of the state have at last realized the necessity of immediate and con- certed action with regard to doing some thing toward raising fobd' for man and beast, for our country is in the most destitute condition along these lines l have ever seen it. Here in Clarke county we have thousands of acres of land that will produce great food crops. Also have a sufficient amount of labor left to do great things toward producing this crop, but large per cent is in such desti- tute condition that theys have neither food for themselves nor stock. Just living out of scanty daily wage, whenever they can get it. with no stock or feed. Laborers are willing to work faithfully to help themselves and country even if under government supervision Some thing ought to be done to relieve the condition. I believe it can be done by an organized effort I read with in- terest letters concerHing Mrs Mathis. 1 hope she can visit our county early. Best wishes. Respectfully yours
