MOTOR co. ENTERS
WIRE MAKING BUSINESS

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 14.-Be-
cause outside manufacturers failed
to meet specifications for wire used
in winding armatures of starter gen.
orators used on Ford cars the Ford
Motor Company has itself gone into
the wire manufacturing business.
This new industry at the Highland
Park plant, though not yet in full
production, is at present turning out
every day some 70 miles of fine in
sulated copper wire.
The making of $500 generator
units daily calls for the absolute
Standardization of parts, particularly
wire size. If the wire winding on
the armature is slightly off size, or
il the insulating V is a bit thick
or irregular, either the winding will
not fit in the armature segments or
lower generator efficiency will result.
So, with outside wire not giving
full satisfaction, the company deter
mined to make its own and improve
ments and application of standard
wire making machinery have placed
ahead of almost any others in quail
ity and economy.
One interesting drawing opera
ton is where the wire passes through
eight diamonds each reducing the
size a few thousands of an inch.
The cost of each diamond may run
as high as $500 and it takes several
days of continuous drilling with dia-
mond dust in order to pierce one.
They can be used about six months
without appreciable wear.
Cotton, used for the wire over
ing, is also made by the company
and is spun from fine cotton i'm
ported from England.

DEMOCRATS To
SEEK TAX JOB
Thomas Mckinley, Leader,
Favored to Fill Tax Com
missioner Post

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 14:-Demo-
cratic politicians throughout the Dor
ough of Richmond are specializing as
who is to be the next commissioner
of taxes to succeed Aiming S. Prall,
who was elected congressman from
the eleventh congressional district
that includes all of Staten Island
and the lower section of Manhattan
at the recent election. Mr.. Prall is
to succeed the late Daniel J. Rior-
dan, who held the office for a num-
Der of years. The position of tax
commissioner is filled by appoint
ment by the mayor for an indefinite
term and the present salary is $1,000
a year while the 1924 budget per-
mits an increase for next year of
$1,000.
While it is known that there are
many seeking the job made vacant
by the election of Mr.. Prall to con-
gress, the only name that is promi-
nently mentioned is that of the pres
ent Democratic leader, Thomas r.
mckinley, deputy park commissioner
for the borough of Richmond. Mr..
Mckinley is at present receiving
$4,000 a year, while an increase of
$500 is provided for in TIE next
budget, so that the appointment to
the tax department 1ould be accept
able to the local leader. He has
made no announcement as yet
whether he would accept the APP
pointment if offered to him, but his
friends are known to favor the move.
In view of the complete victory of
the Democratic organization at the
election a week ago it is believed
that Mayor Hylan will favor the ap-
pointment of Mckinley to the post in
the tax department which is now va
can't.

These kites were sent up in the
hope that they would catch the popu-

that time President Gompefs returned

their plan.
IL wonder who will be chosen as

those behind this American Fascist
