preliminary steps, the cylinder blocks
parallel to each other. Equally long
lines of men stand on either side of
the conveyors to perform the different
operations to which they are assigned.
Over their heads, and running at right
angles to the conveyors at which the
men work, are other co%nveyors carry
ing crank shafts, cam shafts, pistons,
cylinder heads, etc. AS the assembly
progresses, these different pieces are
taken from the c%onyeyors above and
put in their proper positions in the
motors.
after the internal parts have been
installed in the motors, oiled and
worked in" the crank cases, trans
mission covers, cylinder heads, mani
folds and other parts are set in place,
and when the crank case has been sup
piled with oil, the motors are ready
to go into the test room. Each assem-
bly, line handles about 120 motors per
hour when working at full speed. That
is, about one. motor each 80 seconds
passes from the assembly line to the
collecting c%onveyor. Approximately
120 men handle each motor as it pass
es down the line. An average time of
2 hours, % minutes and IS seconds
is consumed in passing the motor
through the complete assembly line.
With slightly over 800 men in the
Motor Assembly Department, it may
be said that 3.5 motors per man are
assembled each day in this depart
ment."

FORD PLANT A WONDER PLACE.

In speaking of the distinctive fea-
lures of the marvellous Ford Plant,
Mr.. G. S. Piercey, Ford representative
in this territory, recently stated:
"The Ford Motor Company's factory
at Highland Park is truly a place of
many wonders. among the greatest Of
which is the Motor Assembly Depart
ment that might be voted most won
derful of all. In this department, bare
cylinder blocks enter at one point and
after passing through what at first
seems like a hopelessly confused mass
of men and moving parts, they come
out completely transformed into fin
ished Ford Motors.
Studying the arrangement of this
department for a few moments, it is
plain that instead of being all confus-
aon, it is in reality an amazingly we'll
developed organization with every man
and every piece of machinery and con
yeyor system assigned to some def
mite work or part in the process Of
assembly. 1t is only because of this
highly efficient organization that it is
possible to do something at which the
whole world marvels-produce 5000
perfectly built motors each working
day.
"Yet the entire process is one of
simplicity. After going through a few

HENS ASSESSED
AT R EGGS

An example of German methods of
securing food is seen in the new regu-
lations of the Bavarian Egg Supply
Office. Poultry keepers are required
to deliver to the government 40 eggs
for each hen kept. The 1918 quota Is
due in September at a fixed price of 4
cents per egg.
Measures of this character help to
explain the ability of the German fed
eral states to feed the population when
food products fail to reach the mar
kets In sufficient quantities as a result
of voluntary sales by producers.

FOODSTUFF

New government food orders in Hun
gary provide for confiscation of hidden
boards without payment and also for
punishment of hoarders. For the
fourth time this year the Food Minis
ter has ordered a general requisition
of foodstuffs from consumers and pro-
ducerS alike.
Except for a sufficient home supply
to last until the first part of August,
wheat, oats, maize, potatoes, millet nd
fat will be seized.

THE CLOSING ORDER.

Keokuk, Fort Madison, Burlington, Daven-
port, Clinton and Dubuque are up against it,
and will be for several Mondays to come, Just
because they are river towns, and also
complaints are made that marked injustice is
being DONE so says Charles Webster, United
States fuel administrator for Iowa, ''to Illinois
towns along the Mississippi river on account OF
the Monday closing order Therefore, under
the seal of his authority from the United States
fuel administration, Mr.. Webster directs that
all stores in the six populous cities OF Iowa be
closed on Monday of each week until further
notice." and places of amusement are directed
to darken their houses ON Tuesdays.
The action of the Iowa fuel administrator
seems ill-advised from almost every point OF
view and not such solution of the problem as
practical men of affairs would have found; but

IMPORT CHINESE FARMERS.

Senator Gallinger's resolution calling on the
committee of agriculture and forestry to IN
vestigate the advisability of legislation to per
NIT the importation of Chinese farmers under
proper restrictions appears to have elected a
chorus of approving comment on the Paclflc
coast. Fruit farmers in particular and the
newspaper organs of that industry commend
the plan as pressing war measure; and some OF
them declare that it will be impossible to har-
vest the California crop without the help OF
foreign labor.
The statement is made on what appears re-
liable authority that there are seventeen thou
sand, two hundred Chinese farmers in this. coun-
try at present, distributed among forty-fve
states; and it is not apparent that any harm has
come to the country from their employment.
They are not coolie laborers but genuine farm
ers skilled at their work; and many times that
number of them could undoubtedly be used to
advantage now when so much depends upon
the maximum production of food. Wellington
Koo, the Chinese minister at Washington,
stated recently that more than one hundred
thousand Chinese workmen had been brought
in the last three years to England and France,
releasing that many citizens for military service
or war work in other lines We must raise more
food in the next few years if the cost Of living
is not to rise still higher than it is; and China
stands ready to lend us farmers for this purpose
if congress will let them come

During this training the men are

time they are ready for the range the
rifle is well understood. Then fol-
lows the art of maintaining correct
shooting positions and the judging of
distance, each man being coached by
an individual instructor. Young Reid

Would Do More Harm Than Good.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
There Is constant talk about clos
ing the Keokuk schools on account
of score and more cases of scarlet
fever in town.
Every sanitarian who knows any
thing about preventing epidemics
knows that closing the schools in
creases the number of cases-on ac-
count of turning out the children to
roam around and spread the conta-
gion instead of keeping them under
observation.
Ii the authorities allow themselves
to be guided by lot of laymen
ignorant of germ diseases, they ought
to be enjoined from closing the
schools--they might as well order
sick children to be treated by their
grandmothers instead of by doctors
of medicine.
Let the school board stand against
superstition and lay control of medi-
cal matters. and for modern scien-
tific medicine.
