The year just passed witnessed some
remarkable strides in the automobile
industry. The Franklin Automobile
Company, for instance, reports that
1919. the transitional year between
war and peace, broke all production
records at the big Syracuse factory
9I73 cars being shipped. The previous
year was in 1917, when the total num-
Der of cars shipped aggregated 1897.
On January 1 Of this year, there
were 5000 untitled orders on the books
OF the franklin Company. despite the
fact that the factory is employing the
largest number of persons in its his

of the institution is evident from the array of conveyances used by the clientele. Delivery trucks. sumptuous- ly equipped motor cars, bicycles, Fords they are all there, lined up around the school building while night school is in session. The owners of the cos mopolitan array of vehicles can be found in the various classes stripped of all distinction of wealth or social status by the pursuit of knowledge.
 At the present, IT different subjects are taught in the night school. Span ish. typewriting and machine shop work seem to be the most popular courses offered. as they attract the greatest number of students. But all classes in the following additional sub jects are well filled: mechanical draw ing, telegraphy, millinery, short stories, geometry, algebra, clements of busi- ness salesmanship, business English commercial arithmetic, computing ma chine work, bookkeeping and penman- ship.
 Munitions Machines In Use
 The advice to turn "swords into plowshares," is being followed almost literally in the machine shop. There may be found lathes which were used for turning out explosive shells during the war now whirring briskly along on chisels, butcher knives, automobile parts or tools. All these lathes were brought to the shops and retooled by the students under the direction of w s. Gregg, principal of the depart ment. In securing the present equip ment of the machine shop Mir. Gregg made an extensive trip through the

east and through the provisions of the Caldwell bill was enabled to purchase government machinery at Is per cent of its original cost Under these con ditions he was enabled to buy $30,000 worth of equipment for S3.000. The purchasing trip extended over a period Of 52 days and carried MT. Gregg into more than one-half the states of the union
 Munition machinery was not exact ly suited to the manufacture of those things which the students in a ma chine school can use in a practical way, so lathe centers were changed and put through a general tooling up process by members of the classes.
 Work of a very exacting nature is now being produced in the shops. In one class last night local jeweler fin ished an intricate sterling silver hasp. Not more than dozen feet from him two ranchers worked over forges pounding a piece of farm machinery into shape. At another part of the shop student mechanics worked over auto mobile parts. MT. Gregg exhibited a hunting knife of unusual pattern which is nearly completed. The handle is of red celluloid encircled with rings of silver and copper. All buffing welding, and brazing was done in the shop as well as all the work on the exception ally long blade.

ods are proving to be efficient and ef- fective. E. J. Killeen, instructor in the opportunity school last year. be- lieves thoroughly in the conversational method of teaching Spanish and the results he obtains would seem to war rant his method. Jacob w. Wabenick finds the text book very satisfactory. His pupils advance rapidly in their studies and make room for the con- stant stream of applicants who desire to learn the language of our southern ne1ghborS.
 Walter B. Christy. principal of the commercial department of the Tempe Normal school, divides his time with students of commercial arithmetic, salesmanship and elements of business. The latter course exerts abroad appeal to the average man who would under stand the ordinary methods used in general business transactions. These three business courses are all brief and to the point and the classes are all well filled.
 Miss Katherine Moore serves as a most efficient guide to the students of the night school who would delve into the intricacies of algebra and geometry Her students range from the school girl trying to catch up'' to the pro- fessional man who wants to "brush up" on the manuevers of the elusive x
