JIMMIE" FERRIS is
NOW big BOSS. :"
Assistant superintendent of Simmons
Company Succeeds Otto Rudd as
General Head of Manufacturing.

There was change in the official
directors of Simmons Company this
morning when formal announcement
was made that James G.. Ferris had
been named as general superintendent
Of the big plant, succeeding Otto
Rudd, who is named as second vice
president and general superintendent
of physical properties of the company.
Mr.. Rudd will have charge of the real
estate and factory buildings of the COM
pany in various parts of the country.
The advancement Of "Jim'' Ferris
to the high position of general super
intendent Of the biggest bed making
plant in the world, is of particular in
terest in Kenosha. 1t was only a few
years ago that Jim Ferris was work
ing at the bench in the old plant of
the Simmons Manufacturing Company
and the fact that he did things just q
little better than some of the other
men singled him out for promotion.
He had knack of doing things just a
little better and this knack finally put
him right at the head of the big cor.
pany employing considerable over
three thousand men and women and
turning out daily more beds than any
half dozen competing companies.
"Made in Kenosha" is just stamp
ed all over the anatomy of the new
general superintendent Of the Simmons
plant. He learned how to work in the
Simmons factory and he also learned
a lot about manufacturing which he
never could have learned at a technical
school. Fourteen months ago Ferris
was taken from one of the spring bed
departments where he made good and
made assistant general superintendent
of the company. Then he just natural
ly worked into the larger position. The
advance Of Ferris in his profession as
manufacturer is one that is going
to be an example for lot of men who
are now working under him.
Mr. Ferris has established real
reputation as producer and his sue
cess has been largely due to the fact
that he knows how to handle men.
While he is in command of the largest
army of men connected with any in
dustrial plant in Kenosha and Of an
army of as high paid men as are to
be found in any industry in the
United States, it is interesting to know
that his success as "climberO has
been a matter of personal interest and
personal satisfaction to every member
Of his big army. Ferris is a general
favorite with the men Of the Simmons
Company and the order today placing
him in the position Of general super
intendent brought great rejoicing.

Mrs. Bradford in surveying the adj

educated man is Of more use to his

EYE STRUCTURE.
Why We See Better In a Moderate
Light.

Light.
An observant chauffeur passing an
automobile with garing headlights
noted that objects ut the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out OF sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better in "A little light than
in no light he wondered why one can
not see better in bright light than in
moderate light.
The answer is, paradoxically, that the
less light there is the better one sees,
for the brighter the object the less eff.
cient is the eyesight. If after we have
been in darkness we suddenly turn on
a bright light and look at our eyes in
the mirror we can see the pupil of the
eye rapidly growing smaller If we
reduce the light the pupil dilates again.
What happens is the same as in the
camera when we adjust the shutter to
the intensity Of the light.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter. 1t consists
chiefly of muscle which as the light
increases is stimulated to contract,
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some of the superfiuous light. 1t
usually takes a few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the iris can shut out
some of the light from the eyes.
