FORD F|DD[|NCs
 FROM FORDV|LLE

Immediate orders will have prompt attention, but delay in buying at this time may cause you to wait several months for your car Such is the in- formation contained in an announce merit from the Ford Motor Company. which is being published in all parts of the country by the company and it's agents. The announcement goes fur ther, and explains that the distribu- ton of Ford cars will be confined to such agents as have orders for im- mediate delivery to retail customers, said Ed. Rudolph of this city yoster- day.
 While the Ford Motor Company is prepared. at the present time to fill all orders calling for immediate deliv- cry of cars. disappointment is fore seen for great many people who in- tend ordering Fords later. in tue e..- pectation of being able 10 get their cars when they are ready to usc them.
 The publication of this announce ment reveals an unusual state of af- fairs and supplies an explanation of the scarcity of motor cars on the market.
 Since August l, 1916. the Ford Motor Company alone has placed close to $50, 900 new cars in the hands of retail
 
 factory and it's branches has been in- creased tn 5000 finished cars per day. Even with this unparalleled produc- ton, the Ford company is just keeping abreast of demands.
 The principle reason for the present situation is the increase in cold weather drivers as compared with pre- vious years. This winter, as never be- fore, the motor-buying public has ap- preciated the all-season utility of Ford cars and. as a result has taken all the cars as fast as they could be produced.
 In former years, there has usually been slackening of the demand in the winter months during which agents could stock surplus cars in an- ticipation Of heavy buying during the spring and summer months Now. however, while the later demands are likely to be greater than before, the storerooms are barc-the agents have no surplus cars to store. They can se- cure just enough cars to keep up with current orders. Hence the company's advice to buy now and be sure of get ting your car when yaU want it."

that every individual part is under constant observation. The average of inspectors to output is carefully main tained which means that should the daily output of cars be doubled. the number of inspectors would also be doubled
 Many ingenious devices have been worked out by Ford engineers to in- sure not only rapid but rigid inspec- ton. One of these is used in the in- spection of piston rings. These rings must show a tension of l3 pounds be- fore the inspector can pass them. For merly inspectors used specially con- structed scales in which each ring Wa placed in order to determine it's ten sion. This plan, however was found too slow. In it's place simple chute, slightly wedge shaped was constructed in such way that as the rings pass through they cause small electric lamp to flash if the tension is 13 pounds. If not. the light fails to re- sDond ard the defective ring is thrown out. In this way 75.000 rings are in- spccted every l6 hours

mufus, wnere II Is alowed TO cool into
large solid cylindrical or corrugated
blocks. After cooling these are reheat-
ed and reduced In size by pounding
them with big steel hammers and
squeezing them in rolls until at last
the steel is pressed into long barrel

This long skeleton OF the inside of q
gun must be bored out from one end

the muzzle and causes it to fly straight
the lower or muzzle end OF the gun is
made larger This may be accomplish
ed In one or two ways. Either addi-
tional shorter steel tubes are placed
over the main inner tube, or the main
tube is wound with wire and finished
with an outer tube. The wire wound
guns are usually the heavier and are
used ON board ship.
The gun bound with wire is really

How the Big Guns Are Made.
There are two classes of guns naval

they can be manipulated more easily
than those of ship, land guns are the
heavier The largest naval gun is the
fifteen inch gun, and the largest land
gun is the German howit2er, or 1875

OF the two the naval gun fires q shell

other fires a projectile a ton In weight.

How these huge pieces are made is
described as follows by the Popular

is freed of its impurities and convert

Result Of Shortening the Day In a

Result of Shortening the Day In a
Philadelphia Teol Factory.
The following Is statement made
by John NJ. Williams, secretary OF
Fayette r. Plumb, Inc, of Philadel
phia, firm manufacturing tools:
During the period when men were
so hard 10 get we tried to analyze the
cause for men either not hiring with
US or not staying with US, and the EN-
ployment department made the follow
ing report as to one of the contributing
causes-viz:
Our work from It's very nature Is
hard and laborious, firing men out
compared with work In the average
factory.
We figure that in order to hold our
men and make our plant attractive to
new men 1t is necessary to reduce our
week from fifty-seven and one-half
hours to hfty-two and one.haf hours,
with no reduction In pay
We figure that 1t will not decrease
our production, but viii raise it.
after some discussion their report
was adopted, anu on Dec. 4, 1910, ali
day rates We're raised SO that the pay
eQualed or slightly bettered on a fifty
two and one-half hour basis the old
pay on fifty-seven and one-half hour
basis.
"All piece rates were carefully ana
lyzed and adjusted in every case where
the shorter hours affected the pay of
the producers.
''The results speak for themselves
The men felt better and appreciated
our action 1t is much easier to hire
men than before.
'"The weekly production in one of
our worst departments In spite Of the
shorter hours has increased 1874 per
cent and in the entire plant 10 per
cent"-The Survey.
