there was in these an excess of 25.000

During the last calendar year the
Buick Motor company paid charges
for inbound shipments amounting to

Senior student* in electrical and
mechanical engineering of Iowa State
college In an Inspection of the
Kenosha factory of the Nash Motors
company on* day recently familiariz
ed themselves with th* various ele
ments that enter Into the construc
tion of an automobile that is built 9?
per cent complete within the walls of
one factory. The students visited the
Nash plant under the supervision of
Paul W. Eells, professor of mechani
cal engineering, and F. H. McLain,
professor of electrical engineering.
The inspection trip is a regular part
of th# college curriculum.
' The delegation was greeted by E.
II. McCarty, general sales manager
of the Nash Motors company, and the
college men were shown through the
plant by factory guides who explain
ed as they went along the Nash
straight line production method
wherein each operation follows an
other in logical sequence from the
time raw materials are received un
til the car Is given its final road test.
The students were shown the Nash
roller bearing plant and were told
that so far as is known Nash Motors
is th# only motor car manufacturer
that makes its hearings; they saw the
battery of crankshaft testing ma
chines with mechanism so accurate
that they will register the weight of
a human hair. The students were In
terested in th# factory laboratory
where they saw the Brinell testing
apparatus and learned that Nash
conducts a test for hardness of steel
used In Its product every day, where
in the general practice Is to test for
hardness once or twice a month.
Th# Nash open car body plant, sup
plementing the closed body plants at
Milwaukee also offered an interesting
feature in th# program laid out for
(he college men. There they saw the
Nash dry kilns, the cutting and saw
ing of choice lumber, the cutting of
leather for the upholstery and body
trim, and finally the care that is ex
ercised In the painting of Nash
bodies,'including the drying of each
cost of pstnt in electric ovens.
Iowa State college Is one of many
universities In the mlddlewest that
sends students through the Nash fac
tories each year. Other colleger who
make a first-hand study of Nash
production methods Include the Uni

Mail Carriers
Favor Overland
One U. S. Employe Removes
Upholstery for Mail—Puts
It Bark on Sundays.
Overland and WIHyS-Knlght cars
have been winning high favor with
Unci* Sam's rural mail carriers In all
parta of the country. Judging from
the number of sales which have been
reported to this class of buyers In
recent month*.
Harry Brown, rural mail carrier at
Seaford, Del., uses an Overland
Champion for hla work. He removes
all upholstery, places a single seat
back of the wheel, which leaves him
room on three sides for his mail. On
Sigidays he puts back the upholstery
and converts it into a family car.
Mr. Brown estimates that on his mall
route lie makes 160 stops In 31 miles.
Despite this handicap he is able to
cover the distance with one and one
half gallons of gasoline.
Charles David, who covers a rural
mall route near Bismarck, N. D., en
tered his mall car in a fuel economy
contest held at the Dickinson fair and
won the event with a mark of 35
miles per gallon. The car had been
driven 20,000 miles and the valves
hail not-been ground for more than
7,000 miles preceding the day of the
event. The car took part In the con
test just as it had come off 11s daily
mall route.
C. B. Mahan, mall carrier neat
Miles City, Mont., uses a AVillys
Knight touring for his work. He
covers a route of 63 miles and gen
erally carries three and a half tons
of mall, half of it being loaded on a
trailer. Despite the load and the fre
quency of hla stops he makes the
trip in little more than two hours'
time.
SAFETY SLOGAN
OF HUPP CHIEF
Safety to those In tha esr, and long
car life, ahould be prime considers
tlona In the design and construction
of every automobile.
"In view of the congested traffic
our larger elflee, and even on many
of our main state hlghwaj-s, the flrat
duty of ever motor car manufacturer
la to build hla product so staunchly
that It will perform perfectly In any
reasonable emergency." declares
Charles D. Hastings, president and
general manager of the Hupp Motor
Car corporation.
"Considerable criticism haa been di
reefed against the entire Industry re
oently because aome manufacturers,
in an tndaavor to get as much estes
appearance Into their cars as possible
and still soli them with a certain
prio* limit, have overlooked what It
a cardinal duty—that of building
their cars to provide ths utmost in
safe transportation," h* said.
"Building an automobile that la
safe generally presupposes that an
unusual margin of strength in pro
portion to known strain has been
provided at Ha vital parts; that drop
forgings, for Instance, are used In
stead of castings or stampings; that
staerlng knuckles are oversize; that
wheels are tough, genuine hickory
and gupported on staunchly built
azlea; that sven the fenders are heav
ier and more sturdy than aeems nec
essary; that brakes ara adequate In
size and will work the instant tha!
pressure Is applied to them."
