i Ford Motor company was announced
Friday by Edsel B. Ford, president of
the company. Under the new plan the
factories will be closed on Saturday
Sand Sunday and about 5000 will be
added to the force. The, change will
affect approximately $4,000 employees,
who will continue to receive the mini

daily, the pre-war scale. In making

-efS.the army. The .arst public demon
stration of the new wired wireless
was held in the signal corps headquarZ

sisted merely Of removing a bulb from
"a lamp on General Squier's desk, in

manner Jas the electric fans, vacuum
cleaners and fiat irons have been at

casting station, it was explained, was
connected with the lighting circuit
through a lamp receiver at another

signal corps officers to ofrer great
utility to owners Of electric lamps ev,
erywhere and the general said coulo

Hoover recently called upon the ma

not been attempted as yet. The idea
was conceived less than a week ago.
