engineer of the firm, sees further
automotive revolution in light cars
of all types.
The war brought with ii new

Detroit'S auto engines-the ones
you'll get in your first postwar
carS-have not yet caught up with
them. When the engines and the
gas finally get together your car
will have greater compression,
more horse power in less space
and be from i 10 Is per cent
easier on your purse.
In the meantime, Detroits
manufacturer are investing mil
lions of dollars in the Job of re-
moving the clutter of war produc-
tion and turning out autos and
trucks. They will be first class
cars, and the public will buy -.
but the trade warily watches

may be a disruptive change.

'Hiqh-Gradinq'

Not the least OF the problem
faced by the mines is high
grading, or the stealing OF the
better pieces OF ore by workers.
Mcintyre estimates It's annual
loss in excess of 100000 and IL
undoubtedly runs higher az
Dome. A native said that II was
his firm conviction that one in
every three homes in Timmins
was built from hlgh-grading
profits
To combat this menace. the
miners change clothes upon en-
tering the works. take a shower
and switch 10 work clothes. A
like procedure is followed as
they leave. Nevertheless. they
manage 10 conceal nuggets in
their ears, noses, between the
toes, in their mouth, etc. There's
apparently no way to stop the
practice.
However. the mines still run
profitably, and il seems 20 be a
necessary evil and accepted as
such.
