NEW FORD PROJECT
 IN IRON MINING IS
 BELIEVED IMPORTANT

MICHIGAMME, Mich Marking what is believed here to be the start of a great development program by Henry Ford, the frs shipment of iron ore from MT. Ford's mine here has been sent to River Rouge, near Detroit, for conversion into iron and steel that next will be seen in auto mobiles and tractors.
 About 800 tons of ore is being sent daily to Escanaba by rail and there dumped on an ore boat for the De- troit district. At River Rouge the ore will be put through the Ford blast furnaces. The only break in the pro- cession from the Ford owned mine to the Ford produced automobiles, is in the railroad and boat lines necessary to carry tke ore. MT. Ford has not yet attained control of these trans portation facilities.
 The mine, known as the Imperial will supply buta small percentage of the iron needed in the Ford industries but it is believed here other similar developments will follow, the manu- facturer owning 100000 acres of and in the upper Michigan peninsula and rich deposits of ore are believed bv experts to underlie at least part of this vast tract.
 Operation of the Ford mine nea, here is as similar to the other indus. tries carried on by the manufacturer as is permissible. Working condi. tions for the men are revolutionary mining men say. When the workers come out of the mine they remove their working clothes, stand under warm shower baths, don street cloth, ing, and then go to their homes. The wage is $6 day for older employees and $5 day for those more recently added to the payroll. The eight houl day prevails.
 The rooms in which the miners change their clothing is as carefully maintained as is the locker room of a club or university gymnasium. MT. Ford also has changed the style of buildings at the mouth of the mine Most mine structures are corrugated iron over wooden frames. The Fore buildings are fmetal lath and plas. ter. The manufacturer also is laying pans to buid stucco homes for his workers. Twelve of the structures are to go up this year.
 The Ford plan so far has had little effect on working conditions in mines throughout the peninsula, as his mine employs but 160 men of the total o1 15,00O on the Michigan ranges.
 The Imperial is an old mine ac quired by MT. Ford in property deal | Several months were required to put it in shape for operation. Mining operations were started last December and a pile of ore amounting to 500, 900 tons had been accumulated up te the mine that orders from Detroit sent steam shovel biting into the mass.

AN IMPORTANT DUTY

Do not fail to put a wrench on every important nut and bolt on the car at least once month. Nuts held by cotter pins may be passed by in spection, but those held by loose wash CTS will need to be tried with a wrench. A loose part may easily wreck a car and cause loss of life.

IMPROVED MUDGUARDs

When planning to install canvas mudguards, the material should be doubled and scanned, then soaked in linseed oil to make it waterproof. The cloth guards, about eight inches in width, afford all the protection the driver requires; they are noiseless, and reduce the weight to a minimum.

PROPER OPERATION OF SPARK

The spark should be advanced when engine speed is increased to gain max imum power fro meach explosion with the minimum of fuel. Retarded spark at high engine speeds also causes car bon deposit in the cylinders, consump- tion of more fuel, and in extreme cases overheating.
