low skeI9tSn skyward, the huge bowl
shaped arena, costing $3.50, 900 and
originally planned to seat $4,000
persons, is rapidly nearing compile
ton for the heavyweight championship
contest between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey here July a.
The arena is located in Bay View
Park, municipality owned plot of
ground sixty acres in extent and di-
rectly north four miles from the
heart of the city. Before being
turned over to Tex Rickard, promoter
of the championship contest, the park
had been used as recreation center
and the arena rests on the site of two
baseball diamonds. Encircling the
plot is road of crushed stone. The
park is 5f artificial construction,
most of it being filled ip land, but it
is ideally Situated in, every respect.
1t is perfectly flat and treeless, max
ing the work of the engineers con-
structing the arena easier than it
otherwise would have been.
Some idea of the immensity of the
arena may be obtained from the fact
that it is four times as large as the
arena in which Jack johnson bat
tered Jim Jeffries to defeat in Reno
New, and capable of seating four
times as many persons. Approximately
1,750,000 feet of lumber has been
used in the structure. Not bolt has
been used, the entire structure being
held together with nails of which two
carloads or $4,000 pounds have been
driven. All new lumber has entered
into the construction and this will
be sold after the contest.
Every effort has been made to
make it certain every ticket holder
will get the seat to which his ticket
entities him. To take care of the big
crowd there will be four grand en-
frances, one each at the north, south
east and west side of the arena. AT
each of these will be four runways,

seats, while the fourth will take care
of the $50, $40, $50 and $50 ticket
holders. In order to obtain entrance

three separate ticket takers to guard

France will act as ushers and guards

Bank clerks have been engaged by
Promoter Rickard in handling the
ticket sales at the arena and at the
downtown headquarters on the day
of the contest.
Precautions against rushing" of
the gates also have been taken. Out
side the arena eighty feet distant

tanglement, eight feet high and a
half mile long to keep the crowd

INDIGESTION

Tonic, Says Albanian.

Il got a bottle Of Ziron", writes
Marshall Rhordes, of Eufaula, Ala,
"and took it for indigestion, nervous.
ness, loss of appetite and similar trou.
bles. 1t helped me very much. My
mother-in-law suffered with the same
troubles, so l gave her a dose or two
Of Ziron, and she says it helped her
greatly. l will always keep a bottle
of ziron in the house and will sneak
good word for it whenever have
the opportunity"
Ziron is a new combination of Iron,
with the hypophosphites of lime and
soda. and other valuable tonic ingre-
dents, which have been found to
build up the enemic, weak, worn-out
system. ZirSA puts iron into your
blood when you need It. If you are
pale, weak, nervous, depressed, have no
appetite, it is probably sign that your
blood needs Iron. Take Ziron.

Use Hydraulic Moulders-
Hydraulic moulding machines are
used instead of hand patterns The
cupolas. rumblers, SLING and grind
ing machines are practically dust
less, because the dust collecting sys-
tenn used in the WOOD machine shops
is also used in the foundry. AS much
of the work as possible is done by
machines, even to the drilling.
The assembling of the stands is
done quite rapidly. Two men work
on a bench. one on each side. The
parts. black jappaned, are stacked
nearby. One man takes the center
part and one side, while the other
is moving the stand just completed
off the bench. These are put in
place as the other man brings up
his side, the screws are put in, and
small wheels in the bench are ar
ranged for each screw, so that by
turning two crankS the screws are
driven in. The machines are push
ed into a track-like arrangement
where they are '1oosened up" Elec-
trio belts connect with the driving
wheels of the stands, and the treadle
and wheel are moved more during
the Is minutes they remain there
than they will be during two years
of service in the average home.
Near this point is the room where
stands. cabinets and heads are
put together and the belts are
put on. he machines then go to
the packing room, where they are
prepared for shipment.
II is in the shipping department
and in the warehouses where the
packed up boxes are stored that one

taken Immediately after the lumber
leaves the great drying kilns. The
kilIIs deliver the woods absolutely
dry, and since the atmosphere nor
mally contains a large amount OF
moisture, the wood will naturally
swell again. SO. before the parts
are cut to size, the wood is temper
ed"-that is, allowed 10 take on a
normal supply of moisture. Then
when the wood is cut il is of exactly
the right size, and will remain that
way.

Established I'm 1868.
The Singer Manufacturing COM
pany's cabinet factory in South Bend
was esta blished here in 1868, when
this city was the center of extensive
timber lands and woodworking
industries. The factory was first
located on the east bank of, the St.
Joseph river. from which source the
engineers expected to draw all the
power required for the plant. How
ever, the growth of the industry
made necessary the installation of
an extensive steam power system,
and finally the capacity of the build
ing was outgrown. In 1900 and 1901
the present site of the sewing ma
chine plant was purchased, and the
erection of the present modern fac
tory buildings was begun.
And on the crates sent out by the
Singer Mfg. Co. the name of South
Bend, Ind, u. s. A, is carried TO the
far corners of the earth. In every
cline, in every country, in homes
throughout the world. the machines
made in South Bend carry their
message:

And as millions of women of all
colors and creeds, sew their linen or

tional costumes, or as millions Of

more, or as thousands of harness
makers or sail makers or tent max
ers ply their trade, the humming
machine which is doing the work
makes them think something like
this:
This is a good machine. It came
from South Bend. South Bend must
be a wide-awake. progressive city.
to put out a product like this"
And-it is!

outlet end OF every machine sits an
operator, who looks over the pieces
as they come out, and catches all
Of the more glazing imperfections
then and there. The machines must
undergo a rigid inspection before
they leave the plant, but the pre-
liminary inspections save the ex-
pense Of finishing up imperfect
pieces.
Room after room filled with ma
chimes are stacked with parts, as
one passes through looking over the
plant. The next building contains
the assembling rooms, where the
smaller parts are put together. Thus
drawers are put together. ready for
the complete machines and the parts
which go to make up the framework
of the cabinet are also dovetailed

These, too, are coated with glue.

then glued on to flat boards. When
finished the product looks as
though someone had taken the time
to carve the figures. which appear
in relief.
After the respective pieces are
completed they are inspected care
fully, and then sent to another build
ing. where the stain and varnish are
applied. The system of vanishing
is especially unique. In order 10
avoid the leaving of brush marks on
the polished surfaces, the varnish is
applied in a fine spray under air
pressure. The pieces are set up in
side a covered framework arrange
ment at the rear of which Is an
electric fan. The varnish is applied
by an airbrush, and the surplus var
nish is drawn out by the suction of
the fan. Each Of these vanishing
outfits is capable of doing the work
