Hydraulic Press CrUshes Old
Autos into Scrap Packages

LOS ANGELES.-What is claimed
to be the worlds largest hydraulic
press went into operation to help
relieve the shortage of scrap iron
among the Pacific Coasts booming
steel mills.
The machine, which looks like an
elaborated guillotine, will crush an
entire automobile into a solid mass
of metal two feet square and four
feet high.
Set up at the plant of Jerry Will
liams, a salvage dealer in suburban
Southgate, the press was developed
to help handle the unprecedented
quantities of postwar scrap coming
in from the Pacific and other
sources.
The machine was two years in
design and construction, and cost
over $100, 900.
While there are in operation a
number of presses that will flat
ten an entire automobile, Williams
raj unable to locate one that would
crush and bale simultaneously.
His specifications were a press
that would take a mass of scrap
sixteen and one-half feet long, six
feet wide and five feet high and
reduce it to bale size.
This called for a pressure of 500
tons. AS finally designed, the
machine itself weighs $50 tons, and
has a foundation extending 30 feet
into the ground. 1t is now demolish-
ing a small mountain of old cars
and everything else from bedsteads
to water heaters. which is one of
the principal scrap sources of
southern California mills.

to pick. The areas trees succumb-
ed to an unseasonal freeze in the

them had this year attained full

A Pocket

HOWDY FOLKS:
When it takes you twice as long
to rest and half as long to get tired
you're getting old.
The years pass silently, but
old age creaks up on us.
Some don't have any respect for
old age, unless it's in bottle form.
Of course if you want to
make light of your age, put the
correct number of candles on
your birthday cake.
Men and women differ on the sub
ject of years. A man hopes his lean
are behind him, while a wo-
man hopes hers r ahead.
Old g brings experience, but
some experiences bring old age.
Old or young, we would like to
have you as a customer.
You have a standing invita-
ton to drop in and get ac-
quainted.

Preventing Cattle BIoat

To keep bloating in check, hungry
cows should never be turned into a
flush clover pasture without first
feeding them all the nutritious hay
they will eat just before turning into
pasture. This can be accomplished by
taking cattle off pasture early in ev-
ening and feeding hay next morning
before allowing on pasture.
