through the plant, walked my legs
off and stared my eyes out, and
didn't see tenth of what was
going on.
We started in at the railroad
yards, where the bodies and frames
and rough iron castings come in
from other plants. We followed
each part on through until they
drove the whole mass off the end
OF the line-a motor car.
The most interesting thing to
me was the evolution of the
crankshaft 1t comes from the
foundry just a rough, ugly hunk
of steel in the general outline of
crankshaft. 1t is then fooled
through 400 separate processes of
grinding, honing, weighing and
inspecting, each by different

overhead, and stuff is travelling
on them constantly. You see end

hooks and moving slowly along.

wheels, of headlights, of radiators,

You can't see where they come
from, or where they're going.
Almost every line is double line.
one going in one direction, the
other going back the other way
right alongside of it.
The funniest thing was the line
of black steel frames. 1t seemed
to be everywhere, winding all
over the factory, and we never
saw anybody take one off or pay
any attention to them. We would
come out of one section and go
into another, and one of us
would look up and say, There
go those damn frames again." 1t
got to be a joke.
Most of the workmen were men.
but there were hundreds of women
too, in blue overalls, doing
machine work. There was never
a second to rest. The people
hardly ever said anything to each
other. There wasn't time. Once
in while somebody would get be-
hind, and they would have to stop
the line few seconds.
l kept looking at the peoples
faces, and they seemed pretty
good faces to me, many of them
obviously foreign. They didn't
look bored. Most of them looked
really interested in what they
were doing.
THE final assembly line is a
l. fascinating thing
AT the beginning, there is only
the bare frame; no motor, no
wheels, body or anything. Twenty
minutes later, and about a quarter
of a mile away. man in long
white coat actully climbs in. steps
on the starter, and drives the
thing away under its own power,
ready for sale.
It Is inconceivable to me that.
with a thousand different things
to be connected, the car would
actually start the very first time
you tried it.
Seems you ought to have to
tinker with it awhile, and coax it.
But it always starts. In fact, one
started by itself the other day,
ran off the end Of the line and
into couple of other cars, and
finally wound up against a ce-
nent pillar.

that a horse which has been

for the present it will be only this: That the bull is

Washington Is still sorrovful and always
will be over the men who went from this city
to the World War and gave their lives or suf-
fered injury on the battlefield We paid a
heavy toll as city in that war.
But the city lost only 1O2 men killed in
action in the war. We killed thirty three
more than that in traffic last year.
~
Four hundred and sixty eight men from
this city were wounded in action in the World
War. Eight times more than that number
were wounded in the traffic action here last
year.
And all this by less than ten per cent of
the drivers.
These wanton drivers must be stopped.

was seventeen, and continued for
more than fifty years. He retired with
a record that has never been equalled:
that of setting three world records -
and the last one twenty-six years
after the first.
Another great driver with long
and brilliant career, and with a name
perhaps more familiar to most people
nowadays. was Edward Franklin

known to thousands. He began driving

Harness racing has had its ups and
downs; and is only now beginning to
recover from the blows dealt it by the
depression. Looking back over a long
period of time, however, one sees an
amazing development not only in the
trotting horse, but in the way in
which the sport as whole has been
organized.
Nowadays harness racing ranks
second to nothing in organization and
careful, intelligent supervision -
whether the racing is on County
Fair track or on one of the big tracks
of the Grand Circuit. But it was not
always so - not by a very great deal.
In the old days. especially in the boom
towns of the West, racing was a rough.
hit-or-miss business. In this connec-
ton there is an amusing story told on
himself by Dell Mclean, one of the
oldtime drivers, regarding what took
place in an Oklahoma boom town of

shen. N. Y, and the Hambletonian OF
1895. What horse will win this tenth
running of the great race on Wednes-
day? One might even ask: What
horses will start in the race?
At this writing, those questions are
hard to answer. Which ones will start
is still uncertain; and as to Their
ability - one must rely almost en-
tirely on their last years, or two
year-old form. and that is deceptive.
However DOC" Parshall, lead
ing driver of the last half-dozen years
and winner of the 1884 race with Lord
Jim, is training Lawrence Hanover,

trotted in 202 last autumn, the

To do so, he will have to beat the
only two grays ever entered in a
Hambletonian. both of which were
outstanding last year - Greyhound,
driven by Sep Palm. and Silver King,
now in the hands of Ben White, who
drove Mary Reynolds in 1888. Fred
Egan has lilly Tonka; and Prince
John, fast horse last year, is being
trained by Walter Cox.

too gentle to handle the hard-boiled
crew that raced there.
However, he managed to handle
them. Mclean noticed that the other
drivers seemed to be making it easy
for this new starter, but thought
nothing of it; and when he himself
was badly left at the start of the
first heat, he told the starter what he
thought of him in no uncertain lam
guage. Having done so, he logged
back to the stable and announced to
friend that he had told off the new
starter, and done it thoroughly.
The friend smiled. Know the

down to the start for the next heat,
he sent the horse on with the groom;
he himself walked, with the gun in his
hip pocket.
AS he approached the Judges
Stand, Frank James came slowly down
the stairs. Mclean put a shaking
hand on his gun.
Frank James paid no attention. He
walked up quietly. and said in a low,

weakly - and left the gun with the
clerk of the scales. :.

Don't put up with ugly, dull, spotted teeth and
flabby gums. Change your tooth paste to one
that really does something for you. Three days
trial will convince you.
In Listerine Tooth Paste there is special
combination Of costly cleansing and polishing
agents-20% more than in ordinary pastes.
They get results few can match-and people
everywhere are finding it out.
Hard-to-clean teeth show immediate i'm
provement. Stains disappear like magic. Dull,
lack-lustre teeth take on new sheen and bril-
lance. Unpleasant tongue coatings are actually
swept away when the tongue is brushed-as it
should be. Lastly, flabby gums are stimulated

massage.

the body cavity with soft cloth wrung

Duty and JOY

It is the law of God that wherever
there is duty there is also possible joy.
Just as the man who sees foliage
knows that somewhere there must be
water, although his eyes or ears can
not discern 1t, and the trees seem to
grow out Of the sand so the man who
is sure that In any spot there is a
duty for him to do, knows that there
Is happiness for him somewhere In
the doing of that duty, even though for
the present Il seems to be q dreadful
drudgery.
