Ford Substitutes
Replace Metals
Vital for War

Because of the threatened short
age in certain vital war materials.
the Ford Motor Company has been
engaged in studying the $1,000
parts in the Ford VS. and has de-
veloped means to save large per-
centages of these critical" mate
rails for the defense program,
Henry Ford said today.
Changes. already mapped will
mean a saving of so per cent in
nickel. 50 per cent in aluminium
and so per cent in zinc. or 5000
tons a year of the latter metal, II
was estimated. In some cases the
strategic metals are being replaced
by metals in which there is no
shortage and in other cases by
plastics.
II was emphasized that the new
parts.-far from being inferior, are
in many cases distinctly better.
Research engineers pointed out
that the threatened shortage in
aluminium. which will affect many
auto manufacturers who use the
metal for pistons, will not affect
Ford as the company started using
steel pistons six years ago.
Research engineers said that re-
placements are planned as follows
In place of nickel. straight chro-
MUM steel; in place of aluminium,
iron or other ferrous material; in
place of zinc. steel. and in place
of of many other small metal parts,
Dlastics.

One of the most inspirational of
Easter sunrise services is the one
held annually at Mirror Lake in
Yosemite Valley. The unusual
character of this service attracts
thousands to worship in Yosemite's

will take place at 21 minutes past
o'clock in the morning, the time
when the rays of the sun first be-
come visible 20 those assembled
The lateneSS of the sunrise is due
to the fact that the sun must climb
above Half Dome, the great domed
mountain that dominates the east

its rays can be seen. Half Dome
rises almost perpendicularly 1892

located at its foot.

'Round-WorId Trip
Held Quickest Way
To Get a Husband
Woman Insurance
Agent Tried 1t, but
Remained Single
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 8.-The
quickest way to get a husband is
to take a trip around the world,
says Elsie Mumma, who has just
spent five years girdling the globe
/ in the unfeminine pursuit of SELL
! ing several million dollars worth of
insurance.
The husband-hunter dosent need
to be either good-looking or young
to find one on a 'round-the-world
VOYAGE. she says. No woman with
the faintest claim to charm can
fail to get proposals from eligible
men.
Her first matrimonial overture
on the trip, Miss Mumma recalls,
came from an Alaskan sourdough
on Yukon river wheeler
cache of dried salmon he kept at
his side and tossed at intervals
to his malamute team running
along the river bank in pursuit Of
the boat.
Other proposals, less colorful. but
promising more in the way of con-
ventional rose-covered cottage. Miss
Mumma is too modest to total
She Avoided Altar, However.
Indian Ocean steamers are known
as fishing boats" for marriage
bent girls from Australia, other
British colonies and America who
travel about from one port to
another in search Of Prince Charm
inc she says.
They hope to find him among
unattached travellers from Singa-
pore, Bali Bombay, Burma-Eng-
/ lish planters and bank officials,
Dutch business men, Americans
whose way of life has cut them off
from the matrimonial opportuni-
ties of the average man.
Her f1ve-year exposure to all
these romantic possibilities failed
to ensnare Miss Mumma, however,
although she is an attractive
brunette.
She undertook her 'round-the-
world trip on the advice of her
doctor, never planned on marriage"
and stuck to her original ideas Of
staying single, seeing the world,
and selling insurance.
With the aid of interpreters she
has peddled policies in a dozen
languages, payable in everything
from yen to rupees to lire and
pounds.
Old Folks Cautious.
The oldest son of the Oriental Is
his straight life insurance, says
Miss Mumma, and, therefore, en-
| dowment policies are most popular
| through the Far East. The old
folks prefer seeing return on their
payments while they are alive and,
unlike the Anglo few at
tempt to carry the financial pro-
lection of their families beyond
the grave.
AS soon as papa is gone the first
born boy traditionally takes over
the task of caring for his mother
and younger brother and sisters,
whether he is married or not.
Miss Mumma's customers in Asia
and the East Indies included not
only Oriental merchants, but mis-
sionaries, teachers, cotton brokers,
oil firm employees, import and ex-
port men, bankers and members of
the diplomatic, foreign and consular
services of a dozen nationalities.

The plant is Chinese lotus, SCI
