100000 Fords
Turned Out In
6-Month Period

When the first six months of the
Ford Motor Company fiscal year
ended January S1st, more than half
"a million of the sturdy little Fords
had left the factory to join their
three and a half million brothers and
sisters on the worlds highways. And
Ford officials express confidence in
their ability to turn loose the other
half of the million by July S1st, when
their year ends.
However, they say that a million a
year is far from the ultimate in motor
car manufacturing; and that with the
completion of the blast furnace and
body plants which Henry Ford is now
building in Detroit, the yearly output
capacity is bound to assume larger
dimensions. The present capacity is
1900, 900.
The blast furnace project on which
Mr.. Ford has been working for the
past three years will enable the Ford
company to make Ford parts direct
from the iron ore instead Of buying
the iron ingots and then melting them
present time there are approximately
$4,000 men engaged at the blast fur
naces and in the new body plant. But
1t is quite probable that that number
will be more than doubled once the
steel mills-which will be the lar
gest in America--begin to operate
Ford men do not attempt to place
any estimate on what the produce
ton of cars will be in the future, but
point to the fact that they have not
been able to supply the demand for
the past ten years and that at the
present time there are some 100000
untitled orders on file.

Glaring Light
Problem Solved
On Lexingtons

There is one great basic essential
that has not kept pace with the motor
car proper. That is in the matter of
headlights. An automobile must have
lights that the driver may see where
he is going. 1t must have lights for
protection, for safety. but so design
ed as to protect other cars on the
road.
First there were oil lamps, then
gas lamps. then electric lamps. With
the advent of electricity. the ten
dency in automobile lighting was to
greater candle power. Today, on the
modern automobile, lights have reach
ed almost search-light intensity. Con-
sequently they have been a constant
menace to other cars on the road,
so great a menace that of the 5000
persons killed annually in automo-
bile accidents, it is estimated SO per
cent are the result of binding head
lights.
As a direct result Of the glare
menace, the headlamp DINNER, num-
erous reflectors and lenses were de-
signed. But the DINNER, because /
does not give sufficient candle pow
er for the driver to see clearly ahead,
especially In the country, to avoid
road hazards, has not solved the
question, o have the numerous other
devices.
Two States Scientific.
With almost prophetic vision, the
Society of Illuminating Engineers
composed of the worlds greatest
authorities on illumination. after ar
exhaustive study of the problem
made a report in which the results
obtained by the tilted or comfortable
reflector were held to offer the only
ideal solution bf the problem. In 'thi:
report, recommendations were made
that were Incorporated in the New
York anti-glare law, the only scien
tifically drawn law in the nation with
the sole exception. of that of Califor-
MIA.
And the Society of Illuminating
Engineers is the authority that gave
America its present uniform railroad
headlamp regulatory laws.
Two big automobile companies
whose engineers have been constant
ly working on the glazing headlamr
problem. have perfected devices which
represent the farthest advance in the
way of anti-glare devices. They are

LARRY D. STONE
By Bill Breitenstein.

DhAA
Before the readers of the Larry's
Lessons column hear the auto words
of wisdom from Larry d. Stone hini.
self, it will be well. to say a word
about Stone and tell just how and
why he is qualified to teach lessons
and answer the auto queries which he
will do from week to reek.
Stone in his day has been an indie
pendent race driver. an A. A. A. race
driver and a licensed pile in the In
ternational Motor Contests association,
the latter being the governing body
of practically all the dirt track races
in America.
Much of stones practical expert
ence which has made him. such a
figure among auto engineers is due to
his early training with the Knox and
Alec firms in the days when cars OF
that make were popular. AS a test
ing engineer Stone had many exper-
fences that were both exciting and IL,
structive. His participation in Var
ious "hiIl-climbs'' of more or less
ancient auto history, he was always
a leading figure.
Stone has piloted or superintendent
the driving of many cars on long
hard grinds, which were part of fac
tory tests. He has been the skipper
of trail trains through the desert
sands of Nevada, along the precipi-
tous slopes of southwestern Montana
in the Big Hole country: had charge
OF one of the first army truck trains
SEN into Mexico in the Villa pursuit
and for a time was in charge Of trav-
cling mission, in which a complete
miniature church was taken from
place to place on wheels. According
to Stone, his chief diet at that time
was raw "Billy-Goat" meat.

RAcE DAVIS.

The Capital Journal. starting with
this issue. is inaugurating a series Of
educational articles on automotive
subjects entitled "Larry's Lessons"
They are being conducted by Larry
Stone. one of the leading ace driv-
ers of the country. but better known
as an automotive engineer. having
been rated as among the ten lead-
ing automotive genii of the day.
Racing automobiles. because Of
their special and delicate mechanism
demand the attention of the best en-
gineers and mechanics. Years of SER
vice on the race track. many hours
of hard study in the shop and exper-
fence on hard tests, have taught Lar
ry Stone many lessons which may be
of benefit to the readers.
In the next of this series, the read
ers # the Capital Journal will b. CIV
en- an idea Of the life and experience
of Larry Stone which will show how
he is fitted to be a teacher for many
readers of the auto section.
This article will be by Bill Briten-
stein, well known writer in sporting
and racing circles, who will cite some
of the qualities which make Stone an
outstanding figure in automobile and
auto racing circles.
In each issue Stone will answer
questions which will be propounded
by readers of the auto section. The
same may deal with any auto problem
which .confronts any reader or may
deal with auto race data and dope.
The questions may be ether sent
direct to Larry d. Stone, care of
Auto Editor of the Capital Journal,
In either Ease the questions will re-
ceive the personal attention of Lar
ry Stone, who will make az effort to
answer then quickly and lntslligent-
ly.
Following the descriptive article of
the author Of this column, will BIZ the
first of 'Larry's Lessons"

During the war Stone served as an
official inspector Of airplane engines
and was sent from one to another Of
the leading factories where the Lib
rety motors were being built. Several
years before he had retired from the
auto racing game, but when the war
was over Stone re-entered the racing
game and was quite a prominent fig
ure in the 1918 dirt track races.
Among some of tho big events in
which he participated were the auto
races at the Iowa State Fair at Des
Moines, the Wisconsin State Fair at
Milwaukee; the Labor Day Motor
Derby at Quincy; the Wichita Inter-
national Sweepstakes and the Dallas
American Legion Races. During prae-
tically the entire 1919 season he drove
the famous Minerva race car and in
one instance, at Burlington. Iowa,
narrowly escaped death when he went
over the 20 foot ~banked-up turn.
through three fences and landed in a
pickle field. This was attributed to
unnecessary recklessness and Sto ~
drew down a three months suspension
and had his racing license revoked
for 90 days. But Stone still followed
the race game. Ross Marine, the
Chicago millionaire, owner of the
speedy Peugeot Blue, hired him to De
chief engineer Of his string Of speed
cars for a period and Ralph Hankin-
son, the auto polo king, who also
owns the famous Jumbo Benz, en-
ployed Stone as mechanical super
visor until the daring driver could ge.
back into the ace game again.
Stone has the reputation of being
better acquainted with more race cars
than any other auto expert. During
the winter months he has been at
Kansas City overhauling the famous
Fiat-Golden for a fast season on tfe
dirt tracks. Starting this month In
Texas Stone will race throughout the
season as a licensed pilot in the In
ternational Motor Contests association
lille will keep in constant touch with
his headquarters in Kansas City and
will answer all auto questions sent
through the Auto Editor.

Car Care Should
Be Habitual Is
Dealers Claim

The care Of an automobile is real
" no care at all if it is done in the
right way" says F. G. Delano. OF the
Salem Automobile Company. local
dealer in Chevrolet passenger and
commercial cars.
Motor car trouble usually results
from putting off adjustments that
should be regularly attended to. In
most eases the cause can be traced to
the carelessness Of the owner and
could easily have been prevented.
Proper care begins with the pur-
chase. A car should be chosen whose
weight is so nicely balanced that there
is no undue strain on any vital part
The materials should be light but
strong, Springs should have ample
play to protect all mechanical units
from the shock of the road.
above all it is important that the
motor has ample power to move any
load that may be put in the body and
to take it wherever necessary.
such a car as this is easy to take
care of because hard use does not
affect it. But even so it should have
regular and intelligent attention from
those who depend upon its service.
Just as a horseback rider runs
his eye and hand over his animal be-
fore he mounts, so the automobile
driver should inspect his machine. a
glance under the hood with the motor
running, attention to any sound that
is not in tune, a measurement Of gas.
water and oil, and a test Of wiring
and even tires, should all become .
matter of habit.
These are just a few high spots
the careful owner takes into consider
alton. He always gives them his at
~tention al the start. Making sure that
they are. right In the beginning soon
becomes second nature.
THE practice Of a rapid inspection
of vital units costs nothing and saves
all unnecessary annoyance and ex-
pense in the end"
