Charges of Lax Work
On Ships To Be Probed
Allegations Made by Thomas A.
Purtell Will Be Subject of
an Investigation
Netp York Tribune
WdshtuukOn R,sreou


WASHINGTON, July s.-Charges that
ships being built for the United States
Shipping Board were inspected and
passed although unfit to put to sea
owing to improper riveting, which
Thomas A. Purtell, government hull
inspector, says he pointed out in vain.
Will be taken up shortly, probably by
the House Committee on Merchant Ma
rlne and Fisheries, it was stated to-day
by Representative Greene, of Massa-
chusetts. chairman of the committee.
furtell, who was discharged last fall,
has not only charged grave faults in
the construction of hull No. 13. at the
Standard Ship Building CORPORATIONS
yard at Shooters Island, but also made
the assertion that the famous twenty
nlne-day ship never completed its
maiden voyage owing to faults in con-
struction.
Purtell's charges finally were brought
TO the attention of President Wilson
through his sending a box of rivets to
the White House, which, he claimed,
were so loosely put into a hull. that
ne was able to knock them out with a
mallet during noon hour
Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
board', after investigating Purtell's
case. has declared that proper steps
were taken to look into the charges
made, and that, in his opinion, Purtell
had allowed himself to become obsessed
with the idea that he had grievance.
Purtell recently renewed his charges.
which have now covered "a period of
nearly. year, by sending to Repre-
sentative La Guardia, of New York, a
copy of letter signed by six other in
spectors protesting against superior
who is alleged to have allowed poor
work to pass inspection. Purtell also
claims he is being "blackballed" from
work in shipyards under the Shipping
boards supervision because he pro-
tested against lax inSnection

Motors and Motorists

An estimate that the present pro-
duction of automobiles is 1000, 900 cars
short of the public demand is made by
Edward s. Jordan, president of the
Jordan Motor Car Company. In the
first quarter of 1919, he states, 1l5
manufacturers produced only $4,000
cars. In the last preceding complete
production year, 1917, there were built
and sold 100000 cars.
Mr.. Jordan gives as his opinion that
prices will undoubtedly go higher and
that the public by buying quickly will
avoid paying more for all kinds of
merchandise. 1t does appear that a
great many persons who figured last
autumn that automobile prices would
go down when the spring opened and
who later on decided that prices which
hadn't dropped would surely fall this
autumn will run into next spring with
every likelihood Of paying more for
motor cars than ever before. Until
such time as production really gets
going there is not mucn hope Of lower
prices.
An interesting analysis of the
American market for motor cars is
made by Mr.. Jordan as follows:
There are 27,3O4,172 family groups
in America. Fifteen million people
have incomes enabling them to pur-
chase car selling from $500 to $500.
Three million people may be con-
sldered prospects for a car from $500
to $1,000.
1.-TWO million people are in the class
between $1,1O0 to $1,4OO.
Give hundred thousand people can
buy between 81 500 and $4,000.
"One hundred thousand people can
buy anything they want"
Excessive oiling of a magnetic can
do nearly as much hurm as insufficient
lubrication. One thing it does is to
cause the surplus oil to be thrown into
the distributor, where it works all
kinds of mischief. 1t gets between the
brush and the contacts and either in
sulates them from each other entirely,
causing missing, or it causes arcing.
Arcing, in turn, burns the oil and
forms SCOT which soon gums things up
badly, and 1T also produces heat which
disintegrates the carbon brush and
causes it to crumble in time
All magnetic manufacturers make
their distributors so that they may
be removed easily and wiped clean
with dry, clean cloth. Dixie mag
netos, FOR instance, have their distrib-
uters held on by three little clips. re-
tanned by three thumb r.uts. These
may be loosened by hand, the clips
turned aside and the distributor cover
comes off in the hand. Other Dixies
Fave three screws to retain the cover.
Some have central revolving brush
and stationary contacts in the cover
and others revolving contact and in
dlvldual stationary contacts in the
cover. The brushes in either case are
attached to small springs and may be
slipped into or out of their sockets by

in Territories Assigned by
Treaty to Poland

PARIS. July (By The Associated
Press'.--Word has just been received in
peace conferences circles of a project
for the organization of a republic in
the eastern territories Of Germany,
which the treaty assigned to Poland.
After an active propaganda in these
territories, the project advanced so far
that provisional President was select
ed in the person of Adolph Won Batocki,
the former Food Minister. The argu-
nent was presented that it would be
better for the inhabitants to govern
themselves under republican, rule and
that they. should be under the dominion
of Poland.
