STRAW UTILIZED ON
HENRY FORD FARM

Detroit, Mich, May 1S.-Invisible,
yet daily gripped in the hands of mil
lions of persons, straw from the farm
of Henry Ford is literally scattered to
the four corners of the earth.
Strange as this statement may seem
1t is true.
On the Ford farm at Dearborn,
Mich, operated entirely by Fordson
Tractor power, there was no use for
the great loads OF straw annually har-
vested there with the grain until the
Ford Motor Company, given to doing
unusual things. found a use for it.
The straw is used as an ingredient
in the composition of Fordite, ma
terial of flint-like hardness and
development of the Ford Motor Com
pany, from which steering wheels are
made, and the Fordite plant at High
land Park supplies these steering
wheels for all Ford cars and Trucks,
wherever assembled throughout the
world-in the United States, Canada
and abroad-and also for the use on
Fordson Tractors.
The Fordite plant, begun about four
years ago something as an expert
ment, is at present producing an av.
erage of $500 of these steering
wheels daily under the manufacturing
schedule of three eight-hour working
shifts six days a week. Subjected to
the most minute inspection and given
strongest and most durable steering
the most exacting tests, they are the
wheels produced, of everwearing
quality. a bright lustrous black and
superior in many ways to wooden
steering wheels.

bers Of organized labor by Brother
Reese Of the Bakers. Started is all,
because every one present took the
floor; in fact, President Johnson had
hard time maintaining order be-
cause of the fact that every one of the
delegates tried to get the floor at the
same time, Curtis bobbing up and
down like a cork in the water. Being

education was very necessary II or
ganized labor is to continue making
progress. Secretary Brackinread was
instructed to get further information
from the Workers Education Bureau,
of which Matthew Woll is chairman,
with the idea Of starting a class In
Aberdeen. Quite a number expressed
great willingness to take up the work.
Pure Foods.
Brother McLain of the Typographi-
cal union stated that he was opposed
to the intent Of the petition now being
circulated which If enacted into law
would make it unlawful for oleomar-
garine and other shortcomings of this
character to be sold. This petition is
backed by the dairy product dealers
and dairymen. Some Supported the
intent Of the petition and hot debate
resulted. The sides were about even
~ divided, and as no vote was taken
on the question. 1t would be hard to
decide just who got the best OF the
argument.
Brother McLain did not oppose the
petition because he favored using
substitute for butter and other foods
but because he did not think it was
right to state what the public shall or
shall not eat.

''Pawned" is from a story by Frank

The tale is frankly melodrama, but
melodrama done in such a way as to
make the picture stand out among the

The title comes from a series of
pledges, either willingly or unwilling
ly, made by the principal characters.
One pawns his life to the service Of
an international gambler. Another
pawns his soul to drugs, another to
drink. and the heroine pledges her
hand in marriage as a loveless bride
