GREAT ACTIVITY AT
FORD ROUGE PLANT

DETROIT, Mich, May 13.--With
production of the Ford Motor Com
pany in full swing, the big Rouge
plant at Dearborn, the largest manu-
featuring establishment in the world
has become the scene of the greatest
activity in it's history.
Reports covering a months opera
tions show the receipt Of 5000 car
loads of material and the shipment of
8,797 carloads of products from the
plant.
Incoming shipments consist largely
of coal, iron ore, the latter being un-
loaded from lake vessels at the Ford
docks ON the Rouge river, limestone,
and sand, with numerous consign-
ments Of materials used in smaller
quantities, while the Rouge plant sends
out for sale not only automobiles and
automobile parts, but also coke, ce-
ment, scrap and various other by
products saved through manufactur-
ing efficiency.
Within the Rouge factory enclos-
ure are 90 miles of railway, on which
an average of 1000 cars are handled
daily, including those used for intra-
factory movements. Approximately
$50 freight cars carry products from
thi factory each day The bulk of
these shipments Is composed of auto
mobile parts consigned to so other
assembly plants in the United States
and to foreign plants. Model A Ford
automobiles assembled at the Rouge
plant are delivered to dealers under
their own power, as the plant assem-
bles automobiles only for the Detroit
area.
For the Rouge and Highland Park
plants combined, 1924 carloads of
material were received in the month
and IL, 100 carloads Of products went
out from these factories.
The volume of spring orders and
the addition of new body types to the
line of Model A Ford cars has caused
general stimulation TO production
throughout the organization and the
output of passenger cars and COM
mercial vehicles is now averaging ap-
proxmately 800 day. There has
been consistent forward movement
in both production and sales ever
since the Model A car was developed.

THERE is MUCH NEED FOR
IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION

Africa's Mediterranean ports, once
pirate strongholds, are where Ameri-
can crime waves often begin, says a
letter from the IMMIGRATION Study
Commission of Sacramento, Calf The
narrow streets of the native quarters
long have sheltered the scum of south
Europe, of the Levant. Periodic po-
lice roundups here were followed by
optional Jail or America" Such pass
ports to New York have saved Euro
pean taxpayers millions. Thus we
drained the criminals from a low
power population mass whose begin
nings run back to the dregs of the
old Roman Empire.
The origins of these cutthroats who
become our bootleggers, vicemasters,
narcotic vendors, gangsters make
nasty reading. Slave-hungry Rome for
centuries was the cesspool of the
socially inadequates of Africa, Asia
Minor Even many highpower Romans
crossed their blood with slave concu-
bines. The present day descendants
of these show gangster lists of Chi
cago, New York.
DllIerentlal Dlrth rates constitute
the danger herein Consider the one
immigrant who applied to an Ameri-
can shelter for charity for his 80
daughters and sons. Should this rate
continue, he will become progenitor
of 1889 grandchildren. His competi-
tor, the old-stock Anglo Saxon Ameri-
can father, who finds he must hustle
to feed, clothe and educate his brood
of 3, can expect at his rate, grand
babies. 1889 to is, of course an ex-
IRENE case. Anyone however, who will
project forward the differential birth
rates of, say, even an 8-child Medi-
terranean and 3-child Nordic family
will obtain results positively discom-
forting. The Great Wars mental tests
showed our intelligent citizenry
comes overwhelmingly from north
western Europe. We must perfect the
immigration quota act herein.

The foregoing quotation may be APP
propriate in view of the recent en-
thusiastic reception by Europe of the
disarmament proposal of the United
States.
WhT Edmund Burke said about the
time$the Thirteen Colonies were be-
ginning to struggle against what they
thought was oppression, is just as
true today, and every diplomat in
Europe knows it.
Disarmament, however, cannot be
attained even in small degree unless
the spirit Of the negotiators is right.
This has been proven time and time
again. The Gilbert proposals, made
in spirit of international good will
and cooperation, and apparently re-
ceived in the same spirit, may do
much to advance the cause of peace
Certainly there is no single subject
upon which the views of all peoples
in the world coincide so completely as
that of peace. And the literal beating
of "sWerds into pleughsharesn is the
first great step toward the realization
of that aim.

the investigation of the Albany
baseball pool last summer, was re-
turned yesterday by the federal
grand jury before Federal Judge

on the Indictment is served.
All three of the men are now in

serving sentences of a year each,

Otto has been frequently before the
grand jury in its most recent in
quiry into the Albany baseball pool.
The announced object of the in

hitting it to operate. Fraudulent

Real Interest OF Harlem

The theme offers material for
powerful social satire. The open
ing stages of the play Harlem"
(by William .Jourdan Rapp and
Wallace Thur ~s-Apollo Theatre)
express in a measure the confusion
Of Negro family, thrown into a
struggle for existence in the
crowded city which is just as brutal
izing, just as degrading as the
Southern life from The implications
of which they hoped to escape. Pa
Williams finds that the much vaunt-
ed broad boulevards of the "Black
Belt" are reserved for those who
pay regular rent. He makes the
bitter discovery that for the Negro
worker in the city of "emancipa-
ton" wages are so low that rent
can be paid only by conducting rent
parties.
As the play proceeds, however, the
rebellious note dies. Like some of
their characters, the authors see
apparently only the thrill of the
gin party in which the "lost chill
dren" attempt to drown their sor-
rows. And, even though there is
an interesting superstructure of
Harlem jazz life, the play declines
to an approved Willard Mack gun
fight.
The guns are introduced by Kid
Vam4 Ernest r. Whitman), a
former pugilist, who has graduated
to the more lucrative practice of
bootlegging. He pulls the gun be-
