for the drawings and save the time in
designing? Here enters the metric
system as a retarder Of war, or let us
put it the other way and a it is the
absence of the metric system in this
country. Our workmen, Il machines,
are not adapted to the metric system.
To translate the metric system into
our system would take time and then
it would result In awkward decimal
fractions. We might, of course, have
prepared for war by having our de-
signs worked out n the machines.
tools, jigs, dies and fixtures, etc,
already made. But before the war
we would not have had the advantage
OF the French artillery designs.
Coming Through.
Ford is making caissons for 4.7-inch
and 155-millimeter guns, 1000 Of the
former n 5000 Of the latter. Except
the wheels. they are entirely Of steel
and parts of them are Of armor steel
to afford protection to the men
hasdling the ammunition in battle.
Ths French type uses considerable
woUd and has n mechanical dump ar
rangement which we have discarded
in order to simplify and hasten pro-
duction. Production should have
started April /, but the navy and air
craft had the priority in materials
and machines, so Ford has only begun
production in quantity now. Never
theless, the whole order will be COM
pleted on time, September 1, which
means $500 or better a month, and
100 q day.
Ford Technique.
Here again Ford applies the auto
mobile method. The building parts
move along in a regular sequence of
completion and then the completed
parts flow methodically into he fin
ished whole. Some of the parts are
duplicated in the two different types.
but there are, nevertheless, 404 sep
arate parts to be made, assembled into
units and then collected into wholes.
The contract involves about $4,000
900, so. roughly, the first 1900 cais-
sons will cos $4,000 apiece. But
when they are done the equipment
will be ready to go on indefinitely
with $500 caissons q month.
The Germans wanted q machine war
and they are getting 1t. Our kind of
machine var a war of machines made
by machines, takes time to start, but
1t is strong at the finish.

Successful investors. whose fortune we
hear about from time to, time, deal In

them on their backs from the camp with
the greatest tenderness. but who are not
allowed to remain with them. The sick
appeared to be tended by the sick, and
the dying by the dying. There are no
nurses, and the men are literally dying
hourly because the medical staff of the
British army has forgotten that old rags
OF linen are necessary for the dressing Of
wounds"
In IAN Orkney Maid we read that a
trumpet CALI in the Times asked who
among the women of England were
ready to go to Scutari hospital to COM
fort and help the men dying for England.
The Son of God goes forth to war!
Who follows in his train?"
In six days Florence Nightingale and
her group Of trained nurses, most Of
whom were from the Roman Catholic
Sisters of Mercy and st. Johns Protest
ant House, had left England for Scutari.
The prudery of the English middle class
was shocked at the idea of young women
nursing in military hospitals. They con-
sidered 1t highly improper"

MOBILE HOSPITALS
FOR THE WAR ZONE

Washington, d. C.-Mobile hospitals,
mounted on motor trucks and trailers,
and equipped with nurses who will eat
and sleep on the road, and every other
facility necessary to bring the operat-
ing room to the wounded men. are
being organized by the army medical
department. Miss Dora T.. Thompson,
chief of the army nurse corps, is or
ganizing stats of so nurses for each
unit who will go up TO within five
miles of fighting when their caravan
responds to the emergency calls 1t Is
designed to meet.
Each unit is planned to be equivalent
to an evacuation hospital, and besides
living quarters for the nurses and
transport space for their supplies, the
five sections of motor trucks and trail
ers will be in themselves temporary
hospitals. The nurses, each given the
field kit of an officer, will be prepared
TO camp where night finds them, or
dine from the trailer kitchens as they
go along the road. Ten OF them will
be assigned to each section of the unit,
and the sections, put together, will
constitute every detail of an operating
hospital, from sterilization plant to
X-ray equipment.
Miss Thompson now places the total
enrolment Of the army nurse corps at
10000, and anticipates that the number
will pass 20, 1000 before the end of the
wear. There are 5000 now wearing the
uniform abroad, and more in every
camp, cantonment, n embarkation
point in the United States. In addition.
one group OF "a are on duty in dis
pensaries maintained at Washington,

employees whose number now runs TO

found necessary.

Tempe Is Located In The Heart of The Cotton Sec- ton of Arizona.

Tempe was the original sec tion to produce cotton on a commercial scale and ever since has been one of the leaders in the production of the very fine cotton grown not only in the Salt River Valley, but in America. All the Tempe cotton fields are in perfect condition. Tempe farmers and Tempe mer- chants are cooperating, and Tempe farmers will have millions of dollars as the re- turns of their labor in the cotton fields. Tempe mer- chants carry every fine line at as low price as can be obtained anywhere and they solicit the full patronage of the Tempe district.

OBITUARY

John Martin Graves, was born
in Iowa Jan 20. 1888, and died at
Arapahoe, Colo. July 3, 1918.
The cause of his death was caus-
ed by fall down the cellar stairs
which, in his enfeebled condition
was too great a shock for one of
his years. Mr.. Graves joined the
Christian church in early life and
was a devout and earnest believ-
er to the end. The family had
moved to Arapahee last fall, the
burial was near McPherson, Kan
sas. where several of the family
still reside. A widow and six
children survive him. The SYM
pathy of the community goes out
to the family in their affection.
