expert who knows that certain strains and shocks produce definite results in the structure of the steel.
 The material is first tested at it's source Steel in the great rolling mills, still in billet form, must conform to very definite requirements if it is to become a part of Ford ears. That is why. nearly every day, shipment of samples taken from each heat at the steel mills, arrives at the laboratory in Detroit to be analysed by the staff of chemists and physicists.
 The results determine the fate of the steel If tis meets the requirements in very degree the rollingmils are in structed to proceed. and the rolled pro- duct goes to forging plants sheet mills and elsewhere. From each of these points. in turn. samples travel to the home laboratory. and careful checks are made of each bit of material fur nished Anything which fails to meet the rigid specifications is not allowed to go further.
 There are chemical tests to deter mine the exact composition of stees: there are physical tests to prove what certain steels will do under varying conditions. In various ports of the | laboratory are machines of peculiar l design which provide multitude of sensations for the material under oh | servation.

ALLIES PLAN CENTRAL
PURCHASING BOARD HERE
Sir Hardman Lever Forecasts Com
mittee to Be Stationed in Capital.
Sees Germany Bankrupt.

Forecast Of a plan to form a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
made by Sir Hardman Lever, financial
expert of the British mission. in a
talk with newspaper men.
Though he was careful to state that
the negotiations were incomplete, he
pointed out why such an agency would
be essential to gain the most economi-
cal administration Of the huge credits
authorized by this country, and the
fairest distribution of supplies to the
allied nations.
The British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practi-
cally bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interests
charges would be SO great, he believed,
they would either have to repudiate
large part of their debt. which in itself
would be disastrous, or face inability
to buy the enormous quantities OF
material they would need for recon-
struction.
Allies Bills Paid.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way Ia the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out our gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by
raising loans. AS result he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in very good shape financially,
despite their enormous permanent
debts.
Sir Hardman said the financial aid of
the United States had relieved Great
Britain of load of anxiety.
THE burden which we have carried
for ourselves and our allies has been a
severe one and the relief is proportion
ate." he said. THE assistance which
sphere is so real. and must have been
so fully comprehended and apprehend-
ed by the kaiser's financial advisers.
that take it to be one of the clearest
signs of Germany's desperation, that
knowing what this help meant, she still
decided on course which was bound
to bring the United States into the lists
against her. The dollar was never SO
almighty for good.
U. S. Problem Not Difficult.
Il am convinced that the financial
test which awaits this country will be
readily solved. 1t is worth remember
ing that in assisting the allies you are
working with this great advantage
that the money which you advance is
all spent in this country and returns
to your banks. to furnish the basis for
further credits when and If necessary.
By solving the problem you will give
most real and vital aid to France Rus
sia, Italy, Belgium and Great Britain,
and with them you will be helping to
stem the tide of militarism, with which
our enemies would swamp the world"

Airplanes Greatest Need.

The country will need more airplanes
than it can possibly produce said Mr..
Coffin. The British, he said. some
times had as many as 1000 machines
in the air on a single front and kept
behind the lines from $1,000 to 10000
more machines than the Germans
possess.
More automobiles are manufactured
in the United States than the country
can use Mr. Coffin said. and he believed
it never would become necessary to
commander private cars.
Rifles are produced now at the rate
of 1900 to 10000 day. Mr.. Coffin
said, and more ammunition is being
manufactured than the whole world
can use Machine guns, he said, could
be supplied as fast as needed. Most Of
the big guns the country makes will
continue to go to the allies. he said,
although the American military forces
are in need of them. 1t will become
necessary, he said, to increase big gun
manufa acturing facilities.

America Must Use Munitions
Standard of Allies to Make
Troops Effective in Battle

America must use the munitions
standards of the allies to promote eff
cheney. American troops that go to
France must use the munitions Of the
allies. who are manufacturing them
now faster than they can turn them
against the Germans-Howard Coffin
Of the advisory commission OF tho coun-
Gil of national defense told the state
delegates yesterday. He is chairman
Of the committee to bring about stand
ardization in war equipment, especially
in aeroplane manufacture.
'If our army is to be of service
there" said Mr.. Coffin. 1T must use
European standards. To carry our
standards abroad would create endless
confusion We would have to establish
factories abroad. Allied contracts are
lapsing here now. and we can use the
output of our own factories equipped
to manufacture according to European
specifications.
Have Great Advantage.
I'VE face entry into the war with the
great advantage of having numerous
factories working on war contracts
and with thousands Of skilled men
available. This is tremendous start.
Had we entered the war two years ago
we would have had to do what England
has done-take over our factories.
The government will be able to pro-
duce its supplies with as little diver
sion of other factories to munitions
manufacture as possible. Even those
to be changed over will not lose their
normal percentage, as we hope to
change them by percentage and let
them continue to carry on their usual
business as we'll as their war business
Otherwise we would cripple Industry.
Factories can supply the government
with 25 to so per cent of their output

She supposed her husband was drunk.
She testified that ON the following morn
ing Heths finger-prints were on Vaw-
ter's neck, and that he could hardly

the matter to Vawter and convinced him
that he was wrong in accusing them of
improper conduct.
The witness stated that in June Heth
wanted to give her a pearl necklace.
When she asked her husband about the
matter he refused to allow 1t. Heth
then offered to leave his automobile
