FORD STARTING AND
LIGHTING PLANT IS
LARGEST IN WORLD


Henry Ford tested the Ford starting
and lighting system on his own car for
one year.
Ten months ago the Ford Motor
company was not manufacturing cleo
trio starters; today the output of its
starter department is greater than that
of any other manufacturer Of electric
starting devices in the world. Its
nearest competitor makes one thous-
and day, whereas the Ford COM
pany's output is fast approaching the
three thousand mark, two thousand
eight hundred and eighty one already
having been manufactured in one day
The Ford starter-and generator, for
1t is really two separate units--is not
the result of new idea or of a sud-
den decision. More than eight years
ago Henry Ford's vision saw the need,
and his electrical engineers were M-
structed to begin experimenting At
ter seven years of constant research,
which took into consideration the
many different climates in which the
Ford car is used. together with the
factors of size and weight and an ad-
aptibility to quantity production, 23
trial jobs were built These were tested
in many different ways Mr.. Ford him
self used one on his car for year,
Still the engineers continued their eS-
lperiments and improvements.
Then came the order from the gov
ernment for 5000 three ton tanks.
each one of which was to be equipped
with two synchronized Ford motors. A
starter was essential, so the one now
being installed on Ford cars was ev-
lclved But, only one starter and gene
rator was used to turn over the two
Ford motors in each tank. January
/ 1, 1919 the Ford Motor company be-
gan equipping enclosed cars with this
new starting and lighting system.
Ford engineers say that although the
entire system-starter and generator
weighs and only 81 pounds, it pro-
duces a higher torque output Constant
I rotary motion) pound for pound, than
any other system on the market.
When the department for building
4 the starting and lighting systems first
began production, fifty hours labor
was charged to each unit, but now that
machinery and equipment have beer
Installed the time per unit is four
hours. Two huge armature impreg-
mating ovens have been installed, each
with capacity of 1900 every eight
hours. In these ovens the armatures
are dried, soaked in varnish and dried
again. Eight hours time is required fol
this one operation.
The power from the starter to the
motor is applied through the we'll
known Bendix drive, which automati.
oally engages the starter and then
once the motor is started, the starter
Immediately disengages. 1t is equipped
with oilless bearings and needs practi-
cally no attention.

BILL OF PROTECTION
now Up TOCONCRESS


Federal provision for public protee-
lion of maternity and infancy as pro-
posed in bill introduced in congress
nv senator Sheppard of Texas is given
the hearty approval Of Governor Oh
colt.
SIT is my understanding that mater
nal deaths and infant deaths from
maternal causes are not decreasing in
the United States as mothers do not
have skilled care and advice that they
need" stated Governor oicott today
in expressing his approval of the Shep-
pard bill. 81 know of nothing more
important to the present welfare of
The state and nation as well as to its
future welfare than the health of the
mothers and children of our country.
This bill seems to be designated TO do
n magnificent work along the lines con
femplatcd and as governor Of the state
IL is my intention to use what efforts
can to see that Oregon joins in on this
move, providing the federal govern
sment inaugurates 1t by the passage OF
this bill or one covering the same
ground
The Sheppard bill contemplates the
appropriation Of $4,000. 900 at this time
TO be apportioned among the states in
proportion to population for the pur-
pose of affording public protection for
mothers and children. States receiv-
ing this aid would be expected to meet
the government dollar for dollar The
federal act would be administered by
a federal board of maternal and infant
hygiene to consist of the secretary of
labor. chairman the chief Of the chill
6ren's bureau, executive officer ne
surgeon general of the United States
public health service and the United
States commissioner of education.
Plans for state work would be sub
mitted to and approved by this board.
The administration of the act in the
several states would be in the hands of
n specially created board OF maternal
and infant hygiene of the state board
Of health In those state having child
WELFARE or child hygiene division in
connection with that board.
The federal board may require the
Ce-operating state boards to appoint
advisory committees both state and To-
cal to assist in carrying out the pro-
visions Of the act. At least half Of the
members of thee committees must be
women.
The work done under the act must
include instruction in the hygiene of
maternity and infancy through public
health nurses, consultation centers
and other suitable methods and the
provision of medical and nursing care
for mothers and infants at home or at
hospital when necessary, especially
in remote regions The act provides
for the cooperation of the state board
with the state universities or land
grant colleges in furnishing popular,
untechnicai instruction in the hygience
OF maternity and infancy and kindred
subjects.

INDEPENDENT INSTALLS
WONDERFUL MACHINE
New Miller Automatic Press Feeder
Has Been Received Which is
Marvel

The independents job department
this week installed a new Miller auto
matte press feeder, regarded as one
of the most wonderful inventions of
the age.
Orval Williams of Pittsburg, Pa,
representative Of the company, was
here several days. installing the ma
chine and it works far better than
we anticipated.
The machine feeds the job of le:-
terheads, cards, or whatever form
may be put on the press with speed
and precision that eclipses any hum
an endeavor. It has fountain Or
self mixing apparatus, a counter and
when the job is completed, rings a
bell. The pressman may set the ma :
chine in motion and go about his other
work, stopping occasionally to put il
more stock and take the printed work
away. 1t will run as rapidly as one
dares to speed up press and each
sheet is lifted and fed into the press
by suction process. When the sheet
is printed, two little fingers reach
down and lift the sheet away, deliver
ing it on the pile of stock that has
already been run: Many people
have called to see the greatest ma
chine of the age in operation.
Our printers have already given it
a name - "Cascarets'' because it
works while they sleep.
