Through Anticipated In

Henry and Edsel Ford. in associa-

Leland, who originally founded the
Lincoln Motor company. took over the
entire plants and equipment of that
company month ago.
This is believed to be the beginning

out million or more motor vehicles a
year and on the other end the Leland-

Ford's almost limitless resources, and
lack of finances was the only handicap
the Lincoln Motor company had ever
experienced. It also brings together
two men who are recognized as unques-

Ford as the master manufacturer in
quantity production and Henry NJ Le-
land as the master of the finest things
mechanical.

CONTRACTOR USES
DODGE CAR To SAW
LUMBER FOR HOUSES
Los Angeles Man Saves Four
Workmen's Time by Utiliz-
ing Automobile.

Making a Dodge Brothers business
car take the place of four carpenters
is a job that would puzzle many an
engineer or efficiency expert. II has
been accomplished, however. by g. G..
Martin, Los Angeles building con
tractor. who simply hooked up the rear
wheel of his car to lumber saving
attachment And unlike the four men
replaced. the contrivance is totally in
different to the little problems some
times involved in union Ards and the
S-hour day.
Mr.. Martin took out the right rear
axle of his car. pulled the left rear axle
out about four inches, ran short shaft
entirely through the differential. and
attached split pulley to the shaft.
He then lacked up one wheel and his
saving machine was ready for opera
ton. The car is run at speed equiva-
lent to II miles an hour. and averages
about 80 miles of saving. SO to speak,
to the gallon of gasoline.
Recently when the Dodge Brothers
car was put to the test it sawed all
the lumber required in the erection of
q seven room bungalow in ! hour and
40 minutes. using less than a gallon
Of gasoline. Besides the saving in labor.
a great deal Of time was gained in con-
struction.
According to Mr.. Martin. who has
driven Dodge Brothers cars for seven
years and is thoroughly familiar with
them, his attachment does not impair
The cars efficiency in the slightest

competition in the truck industry this
movement of trucks is welcomed as an
indication of the return of normal con-
ditions.
G. A. Urquhart, Pacific coast man
ager for the White company, in speak
ing of the marked activity nthe truck
field since the first Of the year, said:
I'VE have felt soft, upward move
ment in the truck industry through the
last four months but only in the last
80 days have orders promised the first
real return to prosperity. Our train
load Of trucks was prompted by our
present shortage-our untitled orders
and with only second thought on the
publicity the White company would re-
ceive By bringing the first trainload
of trucks to the coast since the war.
I'VE are looking for 1922 to be the
biggest year the White company has
ever had on the coast. Not exactly an
other 192O-because in 1920 we could
have sold 100 per cent more White
trucks on the Pacific coast than we
were able to deliver. But this year we
expect to actually deliver more trucks
on the coast than ever before. In fact
we have placed orders with our factory
for enough trucks to make up a sec
ond trainload and with business hitting
the stride it is now we will need more. .

INCREASES HEARING
RANGE Of RADIO SET
WITH NEW BATTERY
Willard Company Has Built
Special Type for Air
Telephony.

According to an executive of one of
the companies most extensively inter-
ested in the new art of giving enter
tainment, instruction and news by
means of the wireless telephone, one
of the commonest Of questions is:
Over how great distance can this
music be heard?"
I'VE all admit said this experienced
radio man. that there is much we do
not know about radio telephony, and
the distance our concerts travel with
out becoming inaudible is one of them.
1t is a good deal the same as if you
were to stand on the edge of q large
and very still pond, and toss small
pebble out into the middle. You could
see quite plainly that there was cir
Gle of waves surrounding the spot
where the pebble struck. You could
also see that at the edges Of the pond
there were no waves perceptlble. But
you could not pick out any particular
spot and say "On this side there are
waves visible. and on the other side
they are not visible"
Receiving instrument Important.
There is much the same situation in
receiving wireless messages with this
important difference-the distance at
which messages are audible depends to
a great extent on the senstiveness Of
the receiving instrument. Because Of
this fact. concert entire inaudible on
one receiving set might be very clearly
heard by another.
For example. the concerts sent out
from Newark, n. j., are quite plainly
heard by some radio amateurs in Cleve
land. O., and not heard at all by others.
While part of the difference is due
to the different hook ups used, the
degree of amplifications employed and
the sensitiveness of the phones. great
deal of it is in the batteries employed
to supply current to the set.
Increases Heavy Range.
Because of the great Importance of
the battery in this field there have
been special types of batteries built,
which are as different from the ordi
nary automobile storage battery as the
automobile battery is different from
one used to supply current for the
lighting of Pullman cars. One of these
special radio batteries known as the
allrubber battery is the product of the
Willard Storage Battery company.
This battery is entirely contained in
one pieced rubber ease, which effect
lively prevents the leakage of current
and therefore stops all ground noises.
The insulators between the plates are
Of the we'll known threaded rubber
type, which permit each part of every
plate to do an equal portion Of the
work of supplying current and thereby
prevent what is known as sporting"
or the wearing out Of one portion
while the rest of the plate is in good
condition. Because Of these improve
ments and the consequent addition to
quiet operation. the hearing range Of
radio receiving set is considerably in
creased.

Overland Car Sales
Jump as Result Of
Price Reductions

So great is the demand for Overland
and WHY'S Knight cars, following Nor
days smashing price reduction, that
dealers are going to the Toledo fac
tory and driving away cars rather than
wait for railroad deliveries.
The number of dealers taking deliy-
cry at the factory is increasing daily.
j; is stated. One day last week scores
of cars left by road for cities and
towns within 5OO-mile radius Of To-
ledo
The volume Of orders. according to
Why's Knight officials, has surpassed
all expectations. Every day since Mon
Gay has shown an increase with indi-
cations OF still being far from the peak.
One noteworthy feature of the in
creased business is the number Of large
orders from small towns.
Rencrts irom the company S branches
IN the larger cities refer to ''sales bet
ter than any time in the past five
years.
Reductions range from $40 on the
Overland and from 1925 to $500 on the
WHY'S Knight.
