With the growth Of the corporations

during 1921 to an average of more than
2O8,843 in 1928 has come the necessity
OF developing young men to handle
major executive positions and giving
them the requisite technical training.
What makes the wheels of industry
go around will always be men, no mat
ter how automatic the machinery may
become" is the way the idea is ex-
pressed by Alfred P. Sloan, jr., presi-
dent.
The General Motors Institute of
Technology, before 1925, was known as
the Flint Institute of Technology. 1t
was the brain child of the late Dallas
bort and was administered by the men
who worked in the factories and at
tended its classes as pupils. The late
Harry H. Bassett, while he was presi-
dent of the Buick Motor Co., became
interested In 1t and as a result of his
efforts the school was taken over by
General Motors.
The corporation maintains the building
and equipment, as well as paying the
salary of the director of the institute.
Outside of that the institution is self
supporting, many of the students being
enabled to pay their way through tech
nical courses while holding jobs in the
General Motors Corporation factories.
There are facilities for 1900 day and
evening school students. there are AZ
members of the faculty giving their en-
tire time to the work and in addition
so part-time instructors, who are men
from the plants qualifying as experts in
certain lines.
A total Of 1852 students enrolled dur
ing 1928. In March of this year there
were enrolled $500. as follows: Engi-
neering, 500; trades. So; automotive
service, 165; spare time (Fall term),
1915. In addition to these there were
1000 in what is known as the extension
course.
The building is four stories. The
ground floor is used for trade class
rooms, drawing rooms, student head
quarters and shower and locker rooms.
The first floor is devoted to automotive
service laboratories and classrooms, ma
chine shops and toolrooms. The SEC
ond floor contains general Offices, libra
ry, physical. chemical metallurgical and
electrical laboratories, assembly hall and

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, April 20.-Despite
faint .rumblings of doubt that have
been heard in the last week, automobile
manufacturing apparently is sustaining
the huge volume destined to make the
year 1929 the first on record In which
the total OF cars and trucks will exceed
100000. In the light of reports from
key authorities that continue to be
made, the stories that all is not right
with the industry gain little credence
| Several days ago in Toledo, the
Great Lakes regional advisory board,
a cooperative industrial body whose
aim Is to expedite and regulate freight
movement in the Middle West, listened
to reports forecasting a SO per cent
business increase during April, May and
June over the corresponding period of
| last year.
In connection with this, an estimate
| prepared by the traffic division of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce was submitted, showing that
plants would be $500 cars greater this
year than last, the total as calculated
reaching 164,791.
This. it is pointed out, indicates that
the March total of $4,000 cars and
| trucks registering the 20 per cent
greater than the best previous period
Of the same length Is certain to be
beaten in April and also indicates that
the grand total of 1,154,857 for Janu-
airy, February and March, the first
quarter, may be eclipsed by the end of
June.
Chevrolet Co. Figures.
Some idea of what the record volume
in automobile production means is con-
veyed in figures issued by the Chevrolet
Motor Co., which show that during
1928 the 16 plants producing the cars
handled required $46,000,000 worth of
materials This total was $11 900, 900
greater than that of 1927. In 1923 the
Chevrolet organization received 272,-
1868 carloads of freight, comprising
commodities of all kinds used for pro-
duction purposes. In dead weight this
represented movement of pounds run
ming into billions-7 ,968, 600, 900 being
the approximate figure.
These figures were the basis of the
production by Chevrolet of 1891 24
units shipped to dealers during the IL
months of 1928.
For this year the scheduled produc-
ton Of Chevrolet was first set at $780,
600 and has since been boosted to
1,350.000 cars and trucks.
Volume of Chrysler Corporation
plants, according TO- Walter P. Chrysler,
president, reached a total of 122,758
units in the first quarter of this year, as
compared with 112,977 in 1928. The in
crease in Chrysler and Dodge shipments
combined was about 10 per cent over
the combined shipments in the same
period of last year. Plymouth sales for
the three months were 1886, as against
23.076 last year.
Dodge sales are referred to as spec
tacular." In January. February and
March AZ 900 cars were shipped, 10000
being shipped in March.

In arriving at these figures, those in

during the six months trips-at 6 am,
IL noon, 6 pm. and IL midnight. Aver

During the same periods tread wear
is measured every thousand miles with
dial depth gauges, which record wear

In doing this 1t has been found that
