Shriners Party Big Success
The social dancing season reached
Its height last night at the second
annual Christmas party and frolic
given by the Mankato Shrine club at
the Arnory, attended by over four
hundred couples. It was by far the
most joyial, gayest and elaborate
function held in Mankato during the
year 1923.
Scores of out Of town guests were
in attendance at the party, a great
many coming with parties OF local
people. The large spacious armory
danicng space was most beautifully
decorated. Brightly colored strean1ers
of Shriners' colors were stretched
over the entire floor making gayly
colored canopy over the dancers.
This canopy was augmented later
in the evening by hundreds Of more
streamers~ which were hurled out to-
ward the dancers by spectators In
the galleries.
A frolicking spirit prevailed every
where on the huge dance floor. Gaily
colored toy balloons waved jauntly
adding q touch of color to further
the riot Of colors. .
All Shriners wore their fezes and
small paper caps Of red and white
were given to the guests which was
another attractive feature of the at
fair. The large orchestra OF twelve
pieces furnished wonderful music.
They intermingled slow, lifting
waltz music with the more poppy fox
trots, thus satisfying the various
types Of dancers attending the al
The height OF hilarity was reach
ed late in the evening when Shrin-
ers began to hurl packages Of con-
fetti among the dancers from the
balconies. Soon the large dance floor
was completely covered with the
speckled paper-and beautifully
gowned women were trying to shake
the stuff from their coiffeurs.
Pote Stein, this morning was ex.
ceedingly happy over the pronounc-
ed success achieved last night, as
nothing but terms of praise are
heard today from those who at.
tended. It was a happy community
affair and will be recorded among
the most enjoyable ever given In
Mankato. It was a wonderful party
Just as was predicted by Pote Stein
when arrangements were underway.

MILLION CARS THIS YEAR
SAYS JOE ROTHMAN.

Domestic production of Ford cars
and Trucks for 1928 reached one
million Friday, July goth, it is just
announced at the offices of the Ford
Motor Company, says Joe Rothman.
Under the growing demand for
Ford products since the first of the
year, production has been steadily
increased and the million mark was
reached between two and three
months earlier this year than in
1922.
The first millionth car was pro-
duced in 1915, approximately IL
years after the company started.
To meet the increasing demand since
that time production has every
year been stepped up until now
manufacturing facilities are so enor-
nous as to permit the company to
produce million Cars and Trucks
in the remarkably short period of a
few days over six months.
Converting of four car loads of
steel into $4,000 springs every day
is one of the interesting manufac-
turing operations of the Ford Com
pany at its Highland Park plant
and the department at present en-
ploys 600 men to bring forth this
duction.
Of particular interest are the
extraordinary tests to which the
steel is subjected in order to prove
its strength before it is permitted to
enter the manufacturing process.
Before acceptance from the mills,
samples of the steel are made into
trial springs and these are placed in
special apparatus where they are
subjected to 10000 continuous vib-
rations of 1850 pounds to each
stroke. In actual use, it isn't often
that auto springs receive such
enormous pressure, and the quality
of genuine Ford springs is striking
ly shown by the fact that so-called
Ford" springs made by outside
companies break before 10000 of
these vibrations.
