Sets Navigation
Record for 1910
Longest Season by 2
Weeks Brings Mark
of 3,613,583 Tons

Vessels OF the Ford Motor COM
pany lake fleet have just con.
cluded the longest navigation sea-
son In their history, operating
into and out of the big River
Rouge plant two weeks longer
than any previous season.
Transporting cargo that totaled
3,613,563 tons during the 1910 sea-
son, the Ford fleet continued to
ply between the Rouge and Great
Lakes ports even after the early
Winter storms brought general
lakes navigation to a virtual stand
still. Final weeks of the Ford
record season were restricted TO
short trips.
The fleet also came near break
ing its total tonnage record for a
single season. The amount OF raw
materials brought TO the Rouge
and finished parts transported by
water to Ford assembly branches
came within only 16,470 tons OF
reaching the all-time Ford fleet
record Of 3.e3o.o53 tons, set in
1887.
Compared to the 1899 Ford
navigation season, the 1910 tom
mage was 922. 1886 greater.
Half of Cargo Coal
Nearly half of the cargo arriv-
ing at the Rouge docks was coal.
of which the company uses APP
proximately 5000 tons a day dur
ing normal operations. The 1910
coal shipments by water amounted
to 1,690,450 tons, or 81 $50 tons
more than Ford boats unloaded at
the home docks in 1899
Iron ore from the Ford Blue
berry mine in Upper Michigan and
from the MenUminee and Mesaba
ranges made up the second largest
portion of the years total cargo.
Ore shipments were 70l,916 tons,

New Rating Plan
For Motor Trucks

A new plan for rating motor

recommended for use by all motor

Plane Fuel Tanks SeIf-Sealing Under Fire
Absolute Protection AGAINST Shots but Reduce Hazards

must be insoluble in gasoline, in
capable OF being shattered into de-
bris which would clog the fuel
lines, and swell with sufficient
rapidIty upon being pierced to
form a positive sealing element,
closing the holes and preventing
loss of gasoline. 1t must be
capable OF sealing instantly single
and multiple holes made by bursts
from both light and heavy machine
guns.
A machine gun slug usually
makes a clean entry hole. After
the first impact it often goes
further and rips a jagged hole 3
inches or more in diameter in the
far side of the tank.
Stated conservatively, self-seal-
ing tanks do not assure absolute
protection against all shots. They
do. however, reduce the hazard OF
all shots and are effective in ac-
complishing complete sealing to a
very high percentage. Self-sealing
tanks have been improved more in
the past year than in all OF the
preceding 20 years combined, but
to offset that fact greater use OF
heavier guns in aircraft can be
consistently expected. Specialized
air corps engineers and chemical
engineers Of the major rubber
companies are, therefore, continu-
ing research and development
work on an intensive schedule.

The wide diversity Of military
tasks being performed by today's

port.
These ultra modern d Tense
units being produced by General
Motors Truck perform thousands
of important tasks In the military
world-just as commercial trucks
play a necessary part in the civil
ian life of every individual. They
also serve as concrete examples of
the part being played by the auto
motive industry in providing this
country with an army properly
equipped to move swiftly over
rough terrain as well as on paved
highways.
Foremost and best known among
these GMC army vehicles is the
unit commonly known TO arm y
men as the two and a half, six by
six" This truck. as the term i'm

700 Acres tObein
Austrian Peas
in Benton County
More than 500 acres
near KenneWick al
ready signed for crop

Approximately TOO acres in Ben
ton county viii be planted to Aus
TRAN pea seed this year, according
to a report made this noon by Har-
ry Fleming Of the Benton County
Agricultural committee. OF this
amount 541 acres are in the Kenne-
wick district, he said, with 80 acres
at Benton City and 81 acres in the
Prosser district. A trial patch of Is
acres will be tried ON dry land in
the west end also, he reported.
If the peas turn out as well as ex-
pected, the total net profit on the
500 acres in this end of the county
was estimated at $4,000 by Mr..
Fleming. He also said that all Of
the seed aIlocated to this county
had already been taken and the
acreage is completely signed up. The
seed was purchased with the under
standing that the government can
purchase the bulk of the crop at a
stated price.
Growth of the pea crop is of great
benefit to the land, Mr.. Fleming
states, the value being almost equal
to the cash received from the sale
of the crop. p.

Previously the children were
