When a manufacturing plan! =
carrying on a heavy production,
bit is a matter of considerable
difficulty to move a large portion
of machinery from one place to
another. Yes this is just what
is being done at the Lincoln plant
and without the least halt in out
put.
In fact, with the steadily in
|creasine demand which the Lin
coin is enjoying, prodI ction,
through the introduction of
greater facilities, has been moved
up and a new output record was
established in August with ship
ments of 897 cars during the
month, a gain of 81 over July.
During the eleven months of
Ford ownership in 1922 Lincoln
car shipments totaled 5,242,
while so far this wear 5.273 Lin.

Moving of the several depart
ments into the new addition,
which increases the Plant floor
space 81, 900 square feet. is be-
ing effected under a highly scien-
tifc arrangement. The plan
provides that raw materials and
stock shall enter one end of the
receiving room and gradually
pass through the manufacturing
process to emerge at the other
end of the building as finished
products.
CoDveyor systems, new and inn
proved machinery and many
other facilities are being installed
to bring greater quality and re-
finement to Lincoln Motor caas.

TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT

1t is rather difficult to follow the reasoning of Russell E.
Watson in his letter to the county tax board asking on behalf of the
firm of johnson & johnson, of New Brunswick, that new appraisals
be made of all manufacturing plans in the county "in the same
manner that the city of New Brunswick did," Mr.. Watson asks
the county tax board to do the very thing that he claims was unfair
for the New Brunswick assessors to do. He asks that the appraise-
ment be made on the manufacturing plants-alone, yet he says in
his letter than when this was first proposed in New Brunswick his
clients protested against limiting the appraisement to manufacture
ing plants.
After stating that the Board of Commissioners of the city Of
New Brunswick caused an actual appraisal of all the manufacture
ing and industrial buildings in that city upon which tax assess
ments were based, he says the manufacturers of the city oppose the
procedure. 'They agreed that the theory of it was sound, % he
says in his letter to the county tax board, 'but protested that it
hould be applied to all classes of taxpayers, and was discriminatory
because it applied only to manufacturers.
The fact that the city commissioners Of New Brunswick
ignored the protest of the manufacturers and proceeded with this
discriminatory appraisal does not make it any the less discrimina-
tory when applied to the whole county. Two wrongs do not make
a right, and i Fl it was wrong for New Brunswick to single out the
manufacturing interests to make their appraisal, and Mr.. Watson
In his letter says il was, it must be equally wrong for the county
board to single out the manufacturing plants of the county for a
special appraisal. 49, n. Y ~

WHAT YOU EAT

Do people acquire the characteristics of what they eati
Yes, according to one scientific theory supported by many
vegetarians. A lot Of us have the same notion lurking in the
back of our heads-as, for instance, the popular belief that
feeding raw steak to a prize fighter makes him ferociously ag-
gressive.
Possibly this theory will explain the sad, resigned facial
expressions of so many of the patrons of the buttermilk bars.
On the other hand, last night in a restaurant wy observed
a frail, timid-appearing little woman industriouslv attacking
a huge steak, French fries. salad, pie and the like. Over in the
corner sat a big bruser of a man, picture of health. He was
eating crackers and milk.
Considerable sensation has recently been caused among
the worlds anthropologists by F. P. Armitage's book which
presents the theory that racial characteristics are determined
by the diet consumed over many generations.
Armitage claims that racial fermentation or coloring is
controlled by the amount of salt habitually consumed with
food. His theory is that the dark races could bleach them
selves considerably by eating more salt for many generations.
And so on, Armitage arguing that all the physical charac-
terbics, peculiar to the various races and nationalties, are the
result Of ancestors diet.
If he's right, the eventual absence of alcohol fromSthe
American diet may work some startling changes in our de-
scendants' appearances.

YOUR HEALTH
PAIN IN THE BACK
BY DIR. Clifford C.. Robinson
BY DR.. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON

Thousands of persons are af-
hicted from time to time. and many
others almost constantly, by what
lis commonly called backache. 1t is
a favorite theme of the patent me-
dicine "barkers." You are almost
convinced by their literature in spite
OF your own good common sense,
that something is surely the mat
ter with you.
There are times when certain
wasting diseases, severe attacks of
colds OIL downright WEAKNESS of
body cause pain in some degree or
other, in your back. Careless, in
different. slouching posture will often
cause back-muscles to weaken and
ache to such an extent that some
mechanical support is necessary.
But don't get scared or imagine
every time you get a "crick'' in your
back or the nerves, ml1cles and
ligaments seem to be so tired you
can hardly stand, that something is
surely wrong. 1t is usually the strain
OF the sacro-illiac joints (the joints
OF the hip bone and sacrum, at the
base of the spine) that causes a
large number of backaches and not
rheumatism, sciatica (whatever that
Isl. kidney trouble or locomotor at
aka.
Pains in the back, 1umbago. rheu-
matism and misery" may be due to
bad sitting or posture. In correct
standing learn to acquire a poise
so that your line of gravity will be
a straight line. The body should be
held erect, with heels about six
inches apart and toes straight for
ward.
The weight-bearing line should
pass from the hips, through the
knee caps, shin. ankle and between
the second and third toes. If you
learn to stand and sit inA a real
hygienic posture, you will lessen
your trouble of backache and back
strain to a marked degree.
Ignorance and slavish following
of fashions and footwear often
cause severe backache by the
wearer being compelled through
foot strain and pinching pains to
walk in a most unnatural way. This
causes intense nervous strain in the
upper leg and back muscles.
1t is no wonder, such a person
wearing such shoes. exclaims on
reaching home, 81 am ready to drop,
my back is killing me-"

State Auto Problem
Solution Considered

TRENTON, Oct. 24-The prac-
tice of individual state departments
maintaining automobiles for their
own use is likely to be abolished. If
the scheme propounded to the State
House Commission by Governor Sill
ger bears any fruit.
At a meeting yesterday of the
commission the governor asked that
q committee be appointed to prepare
a plan for doing away with separate
motor cars for each state depart
ment ana to substitute for that a
central garage with enough auto
mobiles and chauffeurs to care for
any state officials requiring motor
transportation.
The committee appointed by the
State House Commission to study
the project consists OF State Comp
troller Newton A. K. Bugbee , a
member of the commission; State
Budget Commissioner John A. Red
dan and State Highway Commits
sioner Abraham Jelin. Commission
err Jelin's department has such a
central transportation plan already
in operation.
The governor suggested a taxi
system" for the state after he had
information to the effect that the
coSt OF Hpkeep or the various state
automobiles totalled 100000 year.
This figure in some quarters, how
ever has been placed at only $780,
600 annually or half what the gov
ernor believes 1t to be.
1t is believed that IN the event
that such a scheme is deemed ad-
visa BILE, the state House Commission
will be compelled to GO before the
next legislature and ask legislation
which will enable it to carry the
plan into execution.
If the scheme is carried to COM
pletion it is probable that a con-
tract will be made by the State
House Commission with tho State
Highway Department for the use OF
the latter's garage and repair SER
. vice. The highway department has
a large garage located near the state
house, which it is thought could
take care of the remaining state
cars.
1t was cited at the State House
Commission meeting yesterday that
both Pittsburgh and Chicago have a
tax service for city employees. and
the former city. at least, reports
a large saving through the central
transportation system over the old
practice.
