ELECTRIC CSYSTEMFOR
 FORD CARS

The Ford electric starting and light ing system has stood the test of the Ford Motor company. The system must be right or it never could have received the stamp of approval of Ford en- gincers
 Only the enclosed models. the coupe let and sedan, V ill .be equipped with the starting and lighting system. The starter will he furnished on these two models at an additional cost
 It will be impracticable to install the starter on old Ford cars because such a change would necessitate re- placing the front cylinder cover. trans mission cover, fly wheel and timer gears.
 The starter is of the two-unit type consisting of a generator. starting mo- tor and storage battery. It is extreme ly compact. light, efficient and access ible.
 The generator is driven by small spiral gear off of thelarge timer gear No chains or belts are required. The starting motor engages with the fly wheel through a Rendix drive and the teeth cut on the rim of the fly wheel
 All enclosed cars supplied with starters will hereafter also be equipped with an instrument board on which will be placed thecoil switch ammeter. primer, and light switch. Side and tail oil lamps will be discarded. In place Of the side lamps combination head lamp be discarded. This head light contains two bulgs for furnishing bright and dim light
 A six volt. so ampere. three cell bat tery of standard construction will be furnished, the battery will be housed in metal box carried on the left run ming board Because the number of batteries required is so great il is prob able that several well known manufac- turers. maintaining service stations throughout the country, will supply demand.
 When it is considered that the Ford Motor company will produce more closed cars in the next year than most Of the largest manufacturers have ever produced of all models in any one year, then it can he appreciated what tremendous problem has been handed to the Ford production man. agers
 under such circumstances the start Ing an lighting equipment will of ne- cessity be confined to the closed cars for some time at least
 Those contemplating the purchase or open passenger cars who feel that they must have a starter. need mol turn from their first choice. for they can equip their Ford cars with electric starters which are now manufactured by independent companies. --O-

DESTROYER LIFE
 IS NO SINECURE
Scientific Aner;canl

fernapS the most trying feature of life aboard a destroyer is the excessive rolling to which these craft are sub Ject. It IS not unusual. in certain con- ditlons of the sea. for these boats to roll through complete angle of 90 de- grees; and since the period of roll is about five second, it can be under stood that anywhere in these boats. particularly on the bridge, this swift motion is exceedingly trying not mere ly to the stomach but to the nerves and the whole muscular system.
 As a matter of fact. if destroyer is caught in a gale that lasts, say from "A to 36 hours, the crew at the end of that time will be a pretty tired lot and thoroughly muscle sore.
 Except for the forecastle deck. the free board of a destroyer is quite low. although in the latest ships which are now under construction, this has been raised considerably. Consequently. in certain conditions of the weather it is a risky matter to walk along the main deck. Destroyers are therefore equipped with the rough weather troll ley line, which consists of a light cable stretched about six to seven feet above the deck, whom which hangs a trolley pole" in the shape of a length of rope with an eye in it's upper end which en- gages the cable. With a good grip on the pole" the seaman may walk the length of the deck with some assur- ance of his not being blown or washed OverbOard

 American industry has been upheld and operated smoothly through foreign labor at least 70 per cent of which could not read nor talk the English language. This condition was unfair both Co workman and the industry Il gave the former little opportunity to learn what the latter meant. outside Of a hread-and- butter existence. It gave the latter little chance to observe whatever intelligence might have been hidden unIcr the foreign exterior of the man.
 lt is in full knowledge of this that Akron industrial concerns have taken up the proccjt Of AmericaniZation among foreign WCrkmcn.

MOTORISTS WARNED
 7. ID PROTECT TUBES

Nine tenths of the motor car drivers who carry spare inner tubes in their cars do not keep them properly pro- tected, said C. F. Mercy, of Vans Tire House yesterday. They carry their extra inner tubes without a protective cover when anything. even an old shirt will do to protect the rubber from ex posture. knicks and bruises.
 An inner tube that is allowed to remain exposed to the weather soon deteriorates and the rubber cracks. Without a suitable covering, such as box or cloth bag. the tube is shunted from one eide of the car to another and in the process receives many hard knocks and often is punctured out right by an accidental blow from the sharp end of a screw driver or other accessory.
 By properly covering and packing their spare inner tubes in their motor cars. and by seeing to it that they are placed in a place where they will not be showed from one side of the car to another. motorists should save a great deal of worry and expense. There can he nothing more eXasperating than to discover that the spare" you thought you had under the back seat has been ruined. either by a rupture or by de- terioration de to exposure" -O--
