FORD AUTO POLICY
 WILL BE FOLLOWED
 BY SH|PBU|LDERS

In order to obtain an idea of the progressive system to be used in the construction of concrete ships and submarine chasers, as designed by Henry Ford and approved by the U. s. Ship Building committee, Ed. Ru- dolph gives an outline of the Ford system of progressive manufacture and assembly.
 The trend of Ford's policy is that factories in various parts of the country will manufacture the parts for the ships and submarine chasers. All the assembly units will then meet the assembly conveyor at the point where they are needed. At the Ford factory a front axle unit, as sembled in the department, rear axle unit and frame unit are combined. This assembly is then started in motion by means of a chain conveyor, and as it moves down the room at a constant speed, each man adds one part to the growing car or does one operation which is

thereby cutting short his stay in town when longer visit is desirable. His automobile is guarantee of reaching home safely and in quick time.
 In addition, the automobile has helped cities and towns to expand more quickly in proportion to their growth and population than would have been possible through any other means. Through the dependability and uninterrupted performance which the automobile of today insures own CTS, homes are now built five ten, fifteen miles out of town. Whether the railroads go in their direction or not makes no difference. The au- tomobile furnishes them an inde- pendent means of transportation, a fact that real estate men and lovers of country life are quick to recog- nize.
 That the automobile will soon be as common today as horses were years ago, is now practically an as sured fact. In most every city the number of automobiles is now greatly in excess of horses, and that these will be even greater in the near future, is proven by the agitation now under way to prohibit horses from certain parts of the city where quicker and more dependable trans portation vehicles are a necessity to keep the flow of traffic uninterrupt ed. It is my opinion that the auto mobile will be recognized, if it is not already, as much a necessity in the home equipment as the sewing machine, electric lights and electrical household appliances. Indications point strongly that way

MOTOR LAR B|G FACTOR IN DEVELOPMENT
 IF NATIONAL SOCIAL AND BUSINESS LIFE

Never in the history of the busi- ness and social world, as we'll as in the agricultural and suburban sec lions, have methods of work and con- ditions of living been changed more rapidly than since the advent of the automobile. Its application has brought about new and quicker methods. making possible short cuts resulting in an economy of time and an increased personal efficiency.
 To business and professional men, through the saving of time which the automobile makes possible, they are able to do more work in shorter time, and with a less expenditure of energy-in other words. they are able to do two hours work in the same period of time that it took them to do one.
 The unlimited power of the auto mobile, it's fleXibility when traversing crowded streets. enables owners to cover three blocks in the same space that it used to take them to cover one. This economy of time has in q great many instances, made possible men having a multitude of interests, due to doubling the number of minutes in their working hours.
 This is what the automobile has done for business men and women. and it has been a natural result that the business world would expand with if. l lay a great deal of the rapid growth of the country during the last five years to the fact that people have been able, through the automobile, to accomplish more in a shorter period of time. as the growth of any concern or city depends upon the activities of it's employees or population.
 In the home or social world, the operation of the automobile has been reduced 10 such simplicity that it is now regarded as d safe vehicle for women to drive. This is evidenced by the multiplicity of women and girls, as well as elderly people sitting behlns the driving wheel of the fam fly car While heretofore the wife has had 10 do her shopping either on foot or trust to the uncertainty of public conveyances, today she can accomplish nearly twice as much and traverse nearly twice the distance in her automobile.
 And just as the automobile has become an efficiency utility and necessity to the business and social world, SD it has accomplished won ders in agricultural and suburban life and work. The farmer, or rancher can now get to a town in about one-third of the time it took his brother of yesterday. He is able to get about his land in greater comfort; he is able 10 give his family en- ioyable trips, thereby breaking up the numdrum life on the farm" He now keeps abreast of the interests of the city, state, nation, because a trip ;o town is now a matter of minutes instead of hours.
 The sdburbanite no longer has to worry about catching the last train,

FISK CYCLE CLUBS
 HOLD ANNUAL RIDE

Fisk Bicycle Clubs in many cities and towns of the United States and some parts of Canada will hold thei1, annual celebration of Paul Revere day, either on April 19, or on the fol- lowing Saturday.. April 20. More than 5000 boys, all members of the Fisk Bicycle Clubs of America, a national organization of boys which is fostered by the Fisk Rubber Co., of Chicopee, Falls, took part in a similar cele- bration a year ago. Since then the organization has more than doubled in membership and there is every indication that at least twice as many boys will have a hand in this years pageant.
 The boys are instructed through the Fisk Club News. the official magazine
Arizona republican., 1918-04-07

of the organization, how to arrange their plans for the day. They are asked to select a course over which bicycling will be easy for a distance of about IS miles. Special officers, including a historian, are elected in each club to take charge of the affair. Under the supervision of the club captain, members go out along the course a few days in advance and erect signs designating certain points of historic interest corresponding to places through which Paul Revere rode on the memorable night in 1776. The designation is marked Concord Common the place where Revere finished his journey.
 On the morning set aside, the club members, either in club regalia or costume of the period of 177e, make the journey on their wheels, stopping at each of the marked places where the historian reads to them from a prepared paper just what associations that particular place has with Re vere's ride. Lunch is eaten on the Concord Common" and the ride home taken by easy stages in the after noon.

CHARLES M ARTHUR
 RETURNS FROM FAST

One of the most peculiar phases of the automobile situation noted by MT. Charles MeArthur, of the Me Arthur Brothers Motor Car company on his trip of inspection to the east ern automobile manufacturing cen ters was the fact that in spite of a greatly increased demand for motor cars of all types deliveries will be much better. This fact speaks well for the effort automobile manufac- turers have made to do their share in speeding up business.
 MT. McArthur visited the Dodge Brothers and Packard Motor com panies of Detroit Michigan and the Nash Motors company of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Payne Smiley
 Install Plant

In an interview with MT R. C. Sauf- ley, of the firm of Payne & Saufley and proprietor of the Service Nulcanizing Co.,, he stated that the tire repair bus ines in these days is undergoing some radical changes.
 It is no longer work that could be handled efficiently as a sideline, but re- quired special equipment expert work men and should be handled as a bus mess in itself.
 War conditions and a general effort to economize is making people consider more the conserving of their tires. As a consequence of growing demands for this kind of work the Service Vulcaniz- ing Co., has installed one of the largest plants in the southwest. Recently added machinery comprises, a Giant Tread Band building machine, Miller automatic tread wrapper. three units of the new Dri- -Kure retreader, which re- treads by the mould process. Kettle and boiler equipment for retreading by wrapped tread method, complete set of moulds, tire spreader etc, etc.

Another thing MT. Crump noted in Ray was a glass receptacle on the main street in which the passer-by drops donations that are used ex- clusively for the purchase of the 'makings" for the boys lover there" He thinks this latter custom should be copied by the people of Phoenix.
 MT. Crump desires to again compli- ment the supervisors of Pinal county for their promptness in keeping their mountain roads in repair. After every rain they immediately put a force of men on the roads to fill up the ruts and cut down the high centers. With only one train each way a day good roads are not only a delight to the casual motorist, but become an import ant factor in knitting together the business and social interests Of the people i'll that part of Arizona.
 MT. Crump regrets exceedingly that he has no words of commendation or praise for the Maricopa county end of the road.

FAMOUS MANUFACTURE DIES

A few days ago the newspapers carried a short news dispatch from Geneva, Switzerland announcing the death of Emile -Jellinek- Mercedes, a wealthy automobile manufacturer.
 Few persons, however. recognized in this name the man who developed the Mercedes car and made the name synonymous with speed and endur- ance on the tracks of many countries. Jellinek perfected this car while in control, of the Daimler Motor com pany, and named it the Mercedes in honor of his daughter. The world wide success of this car caused him to have the name, Mercedes, added to his own. Ralph De Palma used a Mercedes racing car several sea sons, squipped with Goodyear tires, won many races.

assigned to him, so that when the car reaches the end of the line, it is ready to run on its own power. Each part assembly meets the final assembly line at the point where it is combined with the growing car. The same plan will be followed in the construction of concrete ships, save that every part of the work will be carried on a scale of increased magnitude. When it is realized that the conveyor line on which the ships are to be constructed is to be five miles in length, one can obtain some conception of the problems that the government will have to contend with :"
