as Father Damien, was born. He
was educated for a business career,
but when he was 10 years old he en-
tered holy orders, and Is years later,
in October 1868, went to Honolulu as
a missionary in the stead of his
brother. In 1864 he was ordained a
priest, and during the nine years that
followed he was frequently struck in
his parochial work with the pitiful
condition of the Hawaiian lepers. In
1873, he volunteered to take up his
residence on the Island of Molokai,
to which at that time all lepers were
deported, and there he remained un-
til his death on April Is, 1889. He
gave evidence in 1885 of having con-
tracted leprosy from the u~nfortunates
committed to his care, but he con-
tinued his labors.
Leprosy is a contagious, infectious
disease, which is believed to be d.
rectly communicable from n per-
son to another person. 1t is believed
to be caused by a microscopic vege-
table parasite shaped somewhat like
a small curved stick. This bacillus
was discovered by Hansen in 1874.
In mar the disease appears in sew
eral different forms, attacking almost
any organ in the body, destroying any
or all of the senses, and finally pro-
ducing death. There is a disease
among rats which closely Stimulates
human leprosy, and the bacillus which
causes it resembles that found in hu-
man leprosy.
It is not definitely known just
how the leprosy bacillus enters the
body. 1t may be through wounds of
the skin or the lining membrane of
the nose and throat, and possibly it
may be taken into the body with food.
1t is pretty definitely proven that
no particular article of diet, such as
fish, causes the disease. 1t has been
thought that some insect may act as
the agent which transfers the germs
from sick people to we'll people. This
is not proven.
Whatever the exact mechanism in
the transference of the leprosy bacil.

SYSTEM OF INSPECTION.

Did you ever have a chance to look
at a scrap heap of ar automobile
plant in the early days of the in
dustry?
If you did the number Of parts in
advanced stages of construction that
had been thrown away would have
impressed itself upon your memory.
There generally was little inspec-
ton of these parts in the earlier
operations. A defective part could
go from n department to another
increasing manufacturing costs, only
to have the finished part discarded.
The inspection systems now en-
ployed at many of the bigger au-
tomobile factories insure accuracy
and save manufacturing costs by pre-
venting parts that fail to measure
up to specifications from passing a
single operation.
At The Willys-O Overland company,
Of Toledo, Ohio, for example, from
the time the engineers drawings are
made, the inspection system is in full
force.
When material is ordered definite
specifications are laid down. A por.
ton of each consignment, as soon as
it reaches the factory, is taken into
the laboratories and tested.
The engineers specifications must
be met, or the shipment is turned
back.
Heat treating, machining ant
grinding follow, the inspection worl
being carried on rigidly after eacl
operation.
Armed with micrometers, "feelers'
or thickness gauges and various othe,

disease is spread mainly by direct
contact, and is most prevalent where
people are dirty and overcrowded.
There is no evidence that leprosy is
hereditary.
Practical experience has shown that
segregation is the only practicable
means of controlling the disease. A
bill appropriating $25o,oo0 for the
purpose of establishing a national
home for lepers passed the house of
representatives on May 4, 1916, and
was passed by the senate on Janu-
airy 25, 1917. This provides a ma
tional institution for the care and
treatment of the u~nfortunates af-
flicted with this g1uesome disease
and solves the problem of preventing
its spread in the United States.

can measure a thousandth part of
an inch, or with sceleroscopes to
gauge the hardness of the metal,
these inspectors examine different
parts to make sure that the speci-
fications are carried out to the let
ter.
In the assembly of the Overland
Light Model alone, 88 inspectors are
employed. These men watch the as
sembling of the different sections of
the car, and the final joining Of the
chassis and body.
For instance, a head inspector and
three aides watch the assembly of
push rods and timing of the motors.
Another man inspects the trimming
of cr~ankshaft bearings to exact size.
Another inspects the fitting of the
crankshaft bearings to the crankshaft.
Connecting rod bearings, piston rings,
assembling pistons to connecting
rods, oil lines, line up of pedals, start
ing and lighting systems, steering
posts, speed control-no detail is too
minute for the most thorough ex-
animation.
These inspection methods and in
struments of inspection stand as one
of the fascinating features of the
modern motor car construction.
While such systems would be pos
; sible only at great cost per TAI to
smaller automobile manufactures;
