FORD GOES INTO
 WIRE BUSINESS

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 4.-Becauss outside manufacturers failed to meet Specifications for wire used in wind ing armatures of starter generators 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 insulated cop per wire.
 The making of $500 generator units daily calls for the absolute standardization of parts, particularly wire size. If the wire winding on the armatures is slightly off size, or if the insulating cover is & bit thick or irregular, either the winding will not fit in the armature segments or lower generator efficiency will re- suit.
 So, wteh outside wire net giving full satisfaction. the company doter--- mined to make it's own improvements and simplification of standard wire making machinery have placed this plant ahead of almost any others in quality and economy.
 One interesting drawing operation is where the wire passes through eight diamonds each reducing the size s thousandth of an inch. The cost of each diamond may run as high as $500 and 1t takes several days of continuous drilling with dia- mond dust in order to piece one. Theyy can be used aout six months without appreciab1e wear.
 Cotton, used for the wire covering. is also made by the company and Is spun form fine cotton imported from England.
 The new wire, which in every way meets the high standards of Ford has brought 6 general improvement in the production of starter generators.

of holding their foot on the starter too long when starting the motor. The best way, according to officials of the Wofford company, is to turn over the motor a time or two and then if the motor has not fired, take the foot off the starter. Then press ing the starter again will cause the motor to fire almost immediately. This is more efficient and more economical than turning the motor over and over again waiting for 1t to fire.
 More than ever in wintry weather do motorists save money and motor by wocomobiling," says the Wofford company.

IS CALLED 'CONQUEROR'
Only Three Turks Since 1453 Have
 Borno Title Of 'GhazP

Ordinarily Mustapha KemaI IS re- ferred to in Angora by the proleta- riat as "the Pasha." The educated Turk. however, invariably gives him his later title of "Ghazi," voted by the assembly. which is the Turkish word for "Conqueror."
 Since that Hateful day in 1a53 when Mohammed the Conqueror battered down the gates of Constantinople and the Moslem era on the Bosporus be- gan the proud title has been con ferred on only three men. One was Topal Osman Pasha. the hero of Plevna; the second was Mukhtar Pasha, the conqueror of the Greeks in the late sos, while the third was Mustapha Kemal.-Isaac F.

WITH the announcement that Wade Killifer

in place of Harry Woverton Saturday also broke
the news that 500 shares of the Seattle stock had
been sold to X. c. Harvey, Wichita, Kan, oil
magnate. The significance of the latter announce
ment is almost lost in the glamor caused by the
change in management, but it is far more impor-

And now he and Killifer sell cut the controll-
ing interest TO an outsider. Are they weakening
under fire, and do they intend to sell out alto
gether? That's what Seattle fans want TO know,
and they're entitled TO an answer.
There is a vast difference between baseball
and other kinds Of commercialized amusement.
Each city takes a civic interest in its baseball
team. Making the Seattle franchise a political
football and having it tainted with syndicate
charges is dangerous business.
Seattle fans will refuse to support baseball
unless the present owners come clean and lay
their cards on the table

look like the president of the league may be on
the right track in his charges of syndicate base
ball here.
Unless Lockard and Killifer are planning to
sell out altogether their present action is a big
surprise; as the way things now stand they no
longer control the destinies of the Seattle club.
In bringing more outside money into the Seattle
layout the present owners are making football
out of the Seattle franchise.
There have been charges and counter charges
about William Wrigley being behind the Seattle
ball club. Lockard took the case into the federal
court and lost his fight to be seated as director
of the league. Mccarthy won this point.
