How Women Help
In Big Auto Plant

Nearly 1000 men having been called
TO the colors from among the Pseksfd
Motor Car Compsny's employees, II has
been necessary TO introduce vomen
workers into the factory to maintsh
production OF motor carriages, 70
gether with an increased production
of trucks IN response 10 government
demand.
In line with Packard thoroughnes''
a school has been established 70 tran
women in upholstering, trimming ana
other work calling for skilled open'
tiyes. =.
In numerous departments OF the
factory women are taking the place
Of men who have gone 20 the front or
are in some way serving the nation.
Most Of the women employed are "
the carriage division, as their nstursi
ability can be utilized 10 better Sd
vantage in that department.
Women are now making tops ana
curtains, doing all sorts Of lnspee'io,,,
work and handling various smsn
chassis parts. A large number are
operating drill presses and automste
screw machines. Clerical work, susa
as keeping time cards and dong the
routine Office work of the various
factory departments, is now Largely
done by women.
Frank Cheske, labor supervisor, says
he is greatly pleased with the way ~
which women take Up wors IN tne
factory. He says they learn as quies'
IL as men, and he believes that in sons
departments they are more erieiehs
than men, although these departments
have been employing men eAelusiVey
for years. Women workers take
great deal Of pride in being able
DO as much work as their brothers
and being able TO do IL as thorough!
and accurately.
Many of the women have bad pre-,
vious factory experience. some y.
them have come TO Detroit from '''
East.
In certain parts Of the earriss.
division the work OF women n.'
actually made for increased prod's
tion. :.
For the duration Of the war II y :,
believed that the employment ~
women may be an increasing factor "
enabling the Packard company TO mes
TIE demand for motor carriages, whlss
have been and are a greater eeohoms
influence on the efficiency Of Amen"
in the war than many realize. 49,.
The Safety First Department, IN w
factory has prescribed costumes ~.
the women workers. These may "
either loose overalls or Jumpers, "
bungalow aprons made OF khaki "
overall material. Women must See

As to a GOODYEAR Roller

The double transcontinental tour OF
the old Buick. known as the Hyatt
Roller, having been finished. complet-
ing a total Of 272,962 miles travelled
since it's initial trip. in 1907, Goodyear
rises to remark that its tires have
played an important part in this old
cars career. During the ten years that
this car was pilng up the longest mile
age ever rolled by single car il has
run principally on these tires. On the
last tour, covering il,l63 miles, the
four original Goodyear Cords rolled

spectively, in particularly severe ser.

ONE MAN POWER.

The situation in Russia continues
to afford an object lesson in social
philosophy and evolution. In the alb
aggressive movement calamity led by
Kerensky failed of support. and the
influences for disintegration again OBJ
tanned the upper hand.
The situation has been extremely
critical. but in the last extremity his
tory repeats itself, says a bulletin on
the war situation issued by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. The
common sense of people recognizes
sooner or later that there must be or
der and government in society; and
when wrangling assemblies do moth
ing public opinion turns instinctively
to some one man strong enough to be
the leader and to dominate the situa-
ton. In this manner society evolved
its primitive forms of government
and in the presence of anarchy it goes
back to first principles. 1t is an in
formal choice, and the powers granted
or assumed are sweeping. Theories
of individual equality are laid aside,
and yet the principle of action is fun
iamentally sound for the purpose is
to obtain unity in the state.
II there be no escape from anarchy
except by a dictator the most demo-
cratic society will choose the latter.
The will of one man leading to action
is preferred to interminable debate
while the nation drifts TO ruin. If the
man chosen can command the conf
dence and support of the country. and
