AROUND EARTH IN "a
HOURS IS PREDICTION

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-Develop-
ments in aeronautical science which
may give to airplanes a speed of 300
to 400 miles an hour and make pos
sible crossing of the Atlantic in six
or seven hours and around the world
flights in almost a day are predicted
by Brigadier General William Mitch
ell, chief of training and operations in
the American air service.
Speaking at a dinner of the Ameri-
can Flying Club, the general an
lounced that among the devices on
which the-sengineeringa section was
working were carburetor attach
ment known as the turbo- booster. and
a variable pitch propeller which to-
gether, he sasid, might produce the
high speed he mentioned.
Among other devices developed, he
said. arc a parachute. which is even
more sure in its actions than the or
dinary life preserver at sea- a land
ing gear that permits alighting on
water, ice or snow" and a cannon
which may be fired from an airplane.
"A Tmored airplanes are in the
course of construction that are really
flying tanks" he continued. I'VE are
perfectly certain that if a moderately
efficient system of development for
rs aeronautic resources is adopted by
.he United States and on account of
our mechanical ability, raw materials !
which are available in this country, |
reans Of manufacture. and splendid
climate for aeronautics. we can lead !
he world in that science
The dependence OF this country at
present On foreign nations for its air
planes was deplored by the speaker.

gress TO allow the importation OF
Chinese coolle labor into the United
States on the plea that such labor
would bring down the cost OF neces-
stiles. The measure failed. 1t was
fought by patriotic citizen organiza-
tions and the united labor forces.
The movement started by Mr.. Jor-
dan looks like an attempt to reduce
the standard OF labor and place tho
American worker in direct competi.
tion with the Chinese. This would
be a blow at Americanism. There are
plenty OF men and women in the
United States at present to operate
the Industries and I cannot see any
demand for the importation OF un-
labor"

FORD ELECTRIC STARTER
IS OUTCOME OF EIGHT
YEARS. EXPERIMENTING
Ten Months Ago Motor Com
pany Was Not Manufactur-
ing Starting Device; Today
Output is Greatest of ALI.

Ten months age the Ford Motor
company was not manufacturing
electric starters; today the output
of it's starter department is greater
than that of any other manufacturer
of electric starting devices in the
world. It's nearest competitor makes
100 a day. whereas the Ford com
pany's output is fast approaching
the 5000 mark. 1881 already having
been manufactured in one day.
The Ford starter-and generator
for II is really tive separate units-is
mot the result Of n new idea or sudden
decision. More than eight years ago
Henry Ford's vision saw the need. and
his electrical engineers were instructed
to begin experimenting. After seven
years Of constant research. which took
into consideration the many different
climates In which the Ford car is used
together with the factors in size and
weight and an adaptibility to quantity
production, 23 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 experiments and inn
provements.
Call for $1,000 Trucks
Then came the order from the gov
ernment for $4,000 three ton trucks,
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
evolved. But only one starter and
generator was used to turn over the
two Ford motors in each tank. Janu-
airy /, 1919 the Ford Motor COMPANY
BEGAN equipping inclosed cars with
this new starting and lighting system
Ford engineers say that although the
entire system-starter and generator
weighs only 81 pounds. 1t produces
a higher torque output Constant ro-
tary motionD pound for pound, than
anv ether system 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
7'ach'nerv and quipTnent have been
Installed the time per unit is four
hours. Two huge armature impreg-
mating ovens have heen installed. each
with capac'ty 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 oDeration.
The power from the starter to the
m otor Is arplied through the well I
known Bendix drive. which auto
nat'callv engages the starter and then, 4
once the motor is started the starter
disengaoes. IT is euuir-
pod with oilless bearings and needs
no attention.
Within another 80 days or six weeks
he Fcrd COMPANY expects to be maxi
40 enough starters so that every

inches in depth Even with the best

six months. About three months ago
medical authorities recommended
that his leg be amputated below the

today. After the dinner, President
r. L. Given provided the association
members with a splendid program
during which Brigadier General
Rhinow and Colonel Woolnough gave
some interesting talks.
1--WE have decided to give ,Bemidji
an infantry unit" said the general,
"and it will be necessary for every
business man to stand behind, not
only during the work Of organiza-
tion, but boost for it after such or
ganization is effected.
'tI understand that Bemidji ex-
poets, also, to organize a naval mill
tia, and from what I have been told
and what ! have seen, I believe that
Bemidji is capable of supporting
infantry company and rs men for the
naval militia, and you should have
no trouble in putting it over.
State Will Cooperate.
"Bemidji will receive every sup
port possible from the state depart
ment and 1t remains for you business
men and others to do your part. If
you only do half as we'll as did those
men who you sent to the fire swept
zone, I will be more than satisfied.
They certainly did themselves proud.
When you have completed your or
ganization work. I hope again to
have the privilege of inspecting your
city and company"
Enemies Abroad-At Home.
Colonel Woolnough directed his
thought toward the need of state
guards and national army.
"We need men for this work right
now" said the colonel and indica-
tions are that Bemidji will make
good in such organization work.
''Our enemy across the seas has
been routed, and the enemy we have
right at home is just as dangerous as
the one just subdued. It takes an
armed organization to quell lawless-
ness. and from what we read and
hear, we will have such an enemy to
combat.
II feel certain that Bemidji will
arise to the occasion and effect an
