ncers were instructed TO begin expe-
slant research, which took into con-
sideration the many different eli
mates in which the Ford car is used,
together with the factors of size and
weight and an adaptability to guam
tty production, % trial jobs were
built These were tested in many
different ways. Mr.. Ford himself
used one on his car for year Still
the engineers continued their expert
ments and improvements.
Then came the order from the gov
eminent for $4,000 three-ton tanks,
each one of which was to be equipped
with two synchroniZed Ford motors.
A starter was essential, 50 the one
now being installed on Ford cars was
evolved. But only one starter and
generator was used to turn over the
two Ford cars in each tank.
January /, 1919, the Ford Motor
company began equipping enclosed
cars with this new starting and light
ing system. Ford engineers say that
although the entire system-starter
and generator weighs one 81
pounds, it produces higher torque

pound for pound than any other sys-
tenn on the market.
When the department for building
the starting and lighting systems first
began production SO hours labor was
charged to each unit, but now that
machinery and equipment have been
installed the time per unit is 4 hours.
Two huge armature impregnating
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
for this one operation.
The power from the starter to the
motor is applied through the well
known Bendix drive. which automat-
ically engages the starter and then,
once the motor is started, the starter

equipped with oilless bearings and
needs practically no attention.
Within another 80 days or six
weeks the Ford company expects to
be making enough starters so that
every Ford car will be equipped with
the new electric starting and lighting
system.

How Machine Guns Work

An automatic machine gun can dis
charge $50 cartridges of fully load
ed belt in less than % seconds. The
loading of the cartridge belts is, in
comparison, a leisurely occupation. To
slip 250 separate cartridges, by hand,
into their individual loops in the car
fridge belt is tedious and expensive,
To expedite matters, a little loading
device has been evolved.
Layers of cartridges, as they are re-
moved from the standard box Of car
tridges, are slipped into the vertical
guide, the belt entered between feed
wheels of the loading device and the
crank, turned, just as one would OPP
crate the handle of an ice cream ma
chine. The cartridge belt issues on
the near side with cartridge prop
erly inserted in each successive belt
loop. In a very few minutes the belt
is fitted with it's complement of 25O
cartridges and is ready for imme-
diate use.

WHY
MARRIAGE Is Bad Medicine
For Willful Spirits

In most reyues and musical comedies
young couple meet in some hotel
garden, fall in love-" and are married
in the last act, writes w. L. George in
Harper's. Charge me not with lack of
humor if / suggest that many mar
riages are SO made. In my notebook
are several confessions. Among them
is that of a young girl who pledged
her hand on board liner because
there was nothing else to do. (She
was wrong; she could have jumped
overboard.) People do marry as casu-
ally as they learn to play golf; but
they take more pains with golf. In
that negligence hides the nightmare
that shall haunt them; they blunder
into marriage; they think to conduct
it without travail or diplomacy into
the detachment of mature years.
Therein they go astray, for marriage
is a tool with many edges, and none
shall use it with impunity that treat
it without regard. For it may close
uo llldIy uOOl 90 II Suh OpChs
That marriage can close doors none
should deny, and it is folly to over
look it's limitations, notably those
which bear an individual freedom. No
skill or tolerance can make of mar
riage state akin to celibacy, and it
is well to agree that the married are
not free people in the sense of the
uhwed; this is not reflection on the
conjugal condition, for freedom is a
i word, and Silvio Pellico in the Spiel
/ berg found wings for his spirit that
no Austrian peasant could fasten to
| his shoulders. To be free is sometimes
| to be derelict, and as in marriage such
| dereliction seldom arises, the loss is
| undamning to the state. But the mar
| ried must, after the ceremony, realize
"that they have this day lit candle
which cannot be put OUT" accepting a
new condition, they must be ready to
adopt new manners, which is not easy
when creatures are adult, differently
bred and nurtured, perhaps rooted out
Of dissimilar social strata, even
brought together across continents.
They must abandon the idea that they
may, unchecked, change their dwelling,
their occupation, the circles of their
friendships; all these things they may
still do, but only in consultation. Or II
they do not consult, if one imposes
upon the other his will or the thrall
| Of a nagging tongue, then shall victory
turn as dust and ashes in his mouth.

How to Use sIaa on Roads.

Blast furnace Stag for number of
years past has been used in the coun-
try districts and manufacturing towns
Of England FOR the construction of
roads and as a matchmaking agent
If properly selected it forms very good
foundation, but should be placed at an
incline in such manner as to hold
each lump upon it's adjacent lump to
prevent rocking, and then should be
covered over with fine blast Stag and
properly rolled and consolidated after
ward.
1t is also successfully used with tai
and other bituminous materials for
footway and sidewalk paving.
When once set, concrete made from
blast furnace Stag is very tenacious
and it is almost impossible to break II

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July
and october 10 we shipped 65,9S0,305
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour In terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There Is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the com
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep
steady stream Of wheat and flour mov-
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
20,00O,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
Of the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional 49,
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed
The response Of the American peo-
pie was W. 100000 bushels safely deliv-
cred Oh Gas between January / and
July L. Out of a harvest which gave
us only 100000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,000,000 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

How Waste of Light Is Prevented.

How Clothing is Standardized.

AS matter Of fact, the great num-
Der of us nowadays do wear stand
ardized" clothing-hats, suits, shirts,
shoes, all turned out by factories re-
peating the same cut and the same
pattern million times over. We know
this, but we do not want to be told 1t,
and the wise advertiser announces his
styles as ''teeming with individuality"
as "cIothes that are different" cannily
up "the personal touch with
which his garments are most certainly
not endowed. But even though the
purchaser knows in his heart these
things are not true, even though he
may meet his hat or his necktie ten
times in a 10-minute walk down a
crowded avenue, he is content. 1t is
NOT the fact, it is the feeling that mat
tiers, and who, we ask the reader,
who could be comfortable in what has
been noised throughout the length and
breadth of England as standardized

Why He SOUGHT Penitentiary.

five years old, Of Portland, Ore, sham
bled up to a sergeant and begged to
be sent to the penitentiary at Jackson,
Mich.
The man had "done" 90 years on a
charge he never recognized. His
'home" around which moved his only
thoughts of shelter and of food, was
within the stern walls of the peniten.
tiary at Jackson.
Peterson, when given his liberty
desperately strained to regain his lost
art of living, but, snatched from a
former generation at his prime, he
could not keep step with the "mechan.
ical age,"' SO he turned in bewilder
ment back to the penitentiary.

PAST STILL VITAL IN JAPAN
Why Ancient Heroes Are Able to Ex-

No wonder that Japan's past is liv-

Asia Magazine. The ancient heroes
are not dead, but exert their subtle
influence through the intimate contacts
of the daily life Of the people. One
meets them under thousand guises-
as legends imprinted on the common

people wipe their hands, as the ever
