AVOIDING MATERIAL FAULTS

Much has been said of the great
care used by Dodge Brothers in Sc
lecting materials, but there is still a
great deal 10 be told of the tests to
which all material is subjected.
For instance, all brass and bronze
used in Dodge Brothers cars is care
fully tested to ascertain the amount of
copper and lead and if the quantity
is such that it might prove injurious,
the entire consignment of metal is re.
jected.
The method of testing was devel.
oped in the Dodge Brothers labora.
tories.
The process Of determining the "un.
desirable elements" is similar to the
ordinary electroplating. The brass or
bronze under test is dissolved in acid
and into this solution are placed two
electrodes, consisting of platinum
gauzes. A direct current is applied
and the resultant electrolytic action
causes the copper to be deposited on

Presumably he had a good time at

faux pas, which means a false step.
He slipped on the sidewalk and sat
down on that perfectly good silk hat.
He was good and mad. The hat was
new, and fitted him perfectly. He
swore with great bitterness and for
several minutes. But that did him no
good. 1t was after he had ceased to
curse that bright thought struck him.
He looked at the bum lid closely. He

He sneaked back into the house he

arrayed has sought to impose its Will
upon the world by force. To this end
it has increased armament until it
has changed the face of war. In the
sense in which we have been wont to
think of armies there are no armies
in this struggle. There are entire ma
tons armed. Thus, the men who re-
main to till the soil and man the fac
tories are no less a part of the army
that is in France than the men beneath
the battle flags. 1t must be so with
us. 1t is not an army that we must
shape and train for war; it is a ma
ton. To this end our people must
against a common foe. But this can
not be if each man pursues a private
purpose. All must pursue one pur-
pose.
THE nation needs all men, but it
needs each man, not in the field that
will most pleasure him, but in the en-
deavor that will best serve the COM
mon good.

sin, will be manufactured elsewhere
zens who are interested in the traffic
will lose their investments, without
helping the cause of temperance or
prohibition anywhere.
There is another phase of this Ques-
ton which we must consider. The
beer brewing and distilling interests
of the state employ approximately 15,-
600 people, directly or indirectly. The
men thus employed are receiving good
wages. The industry is thoroughly
unionized and the working conditions,
I am told, are the best for the men
that have thus far been obtained in
any of the industries of the state.
These men protest against the destruc-
ton of their employment, and in view
of the present high cost of living, and
the possible difficulties in securing re-
munerative employment as we become
further involved in war presents Sc
rious question, and one which you, gen.
tlemen of the legislature, must take
into account.
Caring for 5000.
I wish to ask the question: What
assurance can you give $4,000 work
ingmen, whose wages are now secured
by contract, that they shall have re-
munerative employment after these in
dustries are closed?
Inasmuch as the continuance of
these industries for the purpose of
manufacturing for people beyond the
borders of the state of Wisconsin can
not and does not enter into the ques-
ton of prohibition in this state, the
taking away of this employment must
be considered nothing more nor less
than the exercise of an arbitrary pow
er by the state without cause or rea-
son, because the production is not for
our consumption and therefore does
nor will it reduce the consumption of
liquor in other sections where the sale
is permitted
There is another aspect of this prop
osition that we must not lose sight Of.
The liquor manufacturing institutions
of the state are among our largest tax
payers. If we close the doors of these
institutions they become practically
worthless and the citizens will be
called upon to pay many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in taxes that are
now being paid by the brewers and
distillers. The income tax which these
people pay would be entirely lost to
the state, which last year amounted to
approximately $250,000, nearly all of
which can be saved if we will permit
them to manufacture and ship out of
the state, even though we forbid the
sale of their product in the state.
submit that this is not good time to
needlessly reduce the taxable property
of the state.
