Young Men Are Heads of
Overland Organization

A point that occasioned as much
comment from the visiting delega-
tons to the Overland Dealers con-
vention, which took place recently at
the Toledo plant of the Willys-Over-
land company, as the size and scope
Of. the factory and the completeness
OF the line for the coming season,
was the fact that the executives and
department heads, almost without ex-
ception, are young men. John N,
WHY'S, president OF the institution,
who is only 43 years OF age, is one
OF the Oldest men in the organization.
1t is this fact which has contributed
not little to the phenomenal success
Of this automobile company.
"The automobile industry" said
John N. WHY'S when the subject of
the youth OF his aides was brought
up to him, sis essentially business
OF young ideas, vigor, Imagination
and originality.
THE older generation cannot yet
entirely understand the automobile.
The young men, however, grow up
with il and have none OF the doubts
that their elders might have about it"

1.-The Quality Goes Clear
THROUGH" Goes for bort

The bort Motor Car company has
copyrighted the phrase THE Quality
Goes Clear Through" to describe that
feature in which it is claimed all
Dorts excel The selection OF this
wording came about through bort
owners expressing approval Of their
cars. Quality clear through every
part Of the chassis and body, the COM
pany states, is the basis on which
every car in its line is built.
In discussing the quality feature OF
the bort, Ralph bort, advertising
manager, said: 1--WE have put quality
into the chassis in many places where
only motor car engineer could find
it. 1t has been our experience, how.
ever, that this has paid, for you will
seldom find a bort owner who does
not firmly believe he has secured
more for his money than he could
obtain in any other car for the same
amount, or even slightly more
money"

preaching motorists. but positively
dangerous, and which has caused so
many accidents, has been the subject
OF deep study for more than a year
by a committee of members OF the So
ciety OF Automobile Engineers. At the
conclusion OF its Investigations the
committee made recommendations for
a Standard headlight which would
throw a concentrated beam OF light
for a distance OF 200 feet and yet with
its highest point not more than forty
two inches from the ground.
THE solution is to set the lamp so
that the upper edge of this beam,
which if the lamp is a good one is
clearly defined, will be parallel to
the ground. When the lamp is set
square, the center line OF the beam is
parallel to the ground, but the dis
lance between the edges Of the beam
grows greater as. the distance from
the lamp grows greater"

End Of War viii Not
Hurt the Auto Industry

Motor car manufacture has reached
the stage where the automobile plant
must be entirely distinctive from all
other kinds of factories. The eff
cisncy engineer has applied his ideas
to the building of model motor car
factories in which the laborer. by la
bor-saving machinery and ingenious
location OF departments, is enabled to
do much more work, with much less
labor, than ever before. Production
OF automobiles has been reduced to
an exact science" says George S.
Waite, sales manager OF the Grast
Motor Car corporation.
And so we have the spectacle OF
young industry--for the motor car
industry Is still young despite its
great growth--setting other industries
an example OF efficiency, in saving OF
protection cost.
1T is partly because the leaders in
the motor car field today are using
the wisdom OF the efficiency engineer
to reduce the cost Of the motor car
that | have such great faith in the
future OF the industry, which is being
placed on rock foundation OF solid
worth.
Our corporation had experience in
the new order OF things, in the build
ing OF a new factory, in which we

Psychology and the War,

Prof. G. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject Of applied psychology on a
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
whatever system has been en-
ployed, it is evident that applied
psychology has produced results In
this war which it was never possible
TO attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more herolsm
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
Vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible In former wars
without provoking a panic. This has
unquestionably been due to the sys-
TEN of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as we'll think
of going to war without f1rst-class mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge of applied psychology. The coun-
Gil of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re-
search council within that body will.
