Working Pull Blast. Automobile factories are now turn ing out new motors to.be mounted in aeroplanes; tire companies are fur nishing the material for balloons and aeroplane wings; numerous accessory factories are turning out ignition, car buretion and self-starting mechan isms for the fighters in the skies. All of the foreign motors manu factured tinder license in this country have been used on the battle front for a long time, and aeroplanes equipped with them have been shot down and have fallen into the enemy's hands, so - that engineering features of the allies' machines are largely known by the Germani, and vice versa, for the al lies have brought down every type of German and Austrian machine. Some of the enginei of these have been in this country for tome time, and were studied by the committee responsible for the Liberty motor, which it to be built in Detroit.

Fortunately, at the time of the government's injunction, the company had just acquired a large tract of land surrounding a lake that was to be nucleus of a large reser voir to furnish the factory's water upp-y. . ... bo a larae tract was planted with vegetables and grains, and a portion of the resulting crop utilized by the company's three restaurants for em ployes, and the remainder sold to the employes, at less than market prices. ButJthe co-operative efforts ol the company did not end here, for a new departure in experimentation to show the way to lower costs of living wal launched in the inauguration of the oodvear Diet Sauad. The snuad consisted of 12 employes, six men and six women, each representing a dif ferent weight class, who conducted the test to determine whether or not living costi could be reduced and bodily health maintained, through' a more systematic choice or foods. tot the first week the squad was allowed no choice in the selection of food. The company's dietician had worked out a series of menus, based on the calorific value of the foods used. There was no appeal from this menu. At the end of the first week each individual was weighed and general physical condition noted. Then the quad was turned loose for the sec ond week to select whatever foods looked best- At the end of the sec ond week the weights and physical condition were again taken and com pared with thosi of the first week, and the results announced, that other Goodyear, employes might adopt the menus used, and thereby reduce their food costs, and at the 6ame time con serve the nation s food supply. Ihe test oroved a comolete .vindi cation for the application "of conser vation methods, from the standpoint Of both health and economy. A com pilation of results showed, that dur ing the first week with the food pre scribed by the dietician, the squad gained In iweight and maintained nor mal health, at a cost of $3.25 per per son. At the end of the eecond week, with each person (electing his own food, the squad lost in weight, at a cost of .$4i8 per person. So the test demonstrated that Goodyear employes may Teduce their food costs more than $1 a week, through a wiser thoice of foods, with no impairment of health, and aid greatly in food conservation. Chalmers Sales Increase 200 Per Cent (n Sixty Days Detroit, Nov. 24,The great white winged Chalmers plant is today in the wakening stage of a big push that is sounding echoes in every nook and corner of the country. Steadily overcoming difficulties, en thusiastically adapting itself to the progressive spirit of a new-born man agement, and buoyed with a quickened pulse of confidence; the Chalmers or ganization is sweeping forward in a tide of great activity.

Toner, director of sales, m a broad, straightforward manner, presented the claims and necessities of the management and at the same time solicited the suggestions and counsel of the men that market the car.
