FORD TESTS HIS
STARTER A YEAR
BEFORE USING

Generator. '
Henry Ford tested the Ford start
ing and-4ighting system on his own
car for one year.
Ten months ago the Ford Motor
company was not manufacturing
electric starters; today the output of
its starter department is greater
than that of any other m'anufa.cturer
oX electric starting devices in the
world. Its nearest competitor
makes 1,000 a day. whereas the Ford
company's output is fast approach
;ng the 3,000 mark. 2,881 already
having been manufactured one
day. '
The Ford starter and generator,
for it is really two separate units
i not the result of a new idea or
of a sudden decision. More than
eight years as;o Henry Ford's vision
saw the need, and his electrical en
gineers were instructed to begin ex
perimenting: Aftei seven years of
constant research, which took into
consideration the manv different
climates in which the Ford caris
used, togetlien with the factors of

were built. These twere tested in
many different ways. Mr. Ford
himself used one on his car for a
year., Still the engineers continued
their experiments and improve
ments. '

Then came the 'order from the
government for 15,000 three-ton
tanks, each one of which was to be
equipped with two synchronized

stalled on Ford cars, was evolved.
But only one starter and generator
was used to turn over the two Ford
motors in each tank. , January 1,
1919, the Ford Motor company be
gan equipping enclosed cars with
this new starting and lighting sys
tem. Ford engineers say that al
though the entire system starter
ind generator weighs only 31
pounds, it produces a highertorque
output (constant rotary motion)
pound for pound, than any other
system on the market. ,

ing the starting and lighting sys
tems first began production, 50 hours
labor was charged to each unit, but
now that machinery and equipment
have been installed, the time per
unit is Yours -hours. Two huge ar
mature impregnating ovens have
been installed, each with a capacity
of 1,700 every eight hours. In' these
ovens the armatures are dried,
soaked in varnish and dried again.
Eight hours time is required for this
one operation.
The power from the starter to
the motor is applied through the
the well known Bendix drive, which
automatically engages the starter
and then, once the motor is started,
the starter immediately disengages.
It is equipped with oilless bearings
and needs practically no attention.
Within another 30 -days or six
weeks, the Ford compapy expects
to be making enough starters so
that every Ford car will be equipped
with the new electric starting. and
lighting system.

love affairs would be to -my mind
more apt to cause that 'tired loos'
than too great a number.
"It is absolutely true that the girl
with many suitors looks happier and
healthier than the 'neglected, unat
tractive young woman. The un
sought girl suffers an agony o.f un
appreciation that reflects itself in
her unhappy look. It is not at air
silly for a girl to be made happy By
masculine attentions. It is the nor
mal state, it is involuntary and in
stinctive and has nothing to do
with reason or logic.
"Yet the girl who plays and trifles
with men is simply behaving in an
immature, actually infantile manner.
She carries intOjadult life a condi
tion acceptable only in the life of
the child. S
'Such a youns: woman is keeoins
herself in the stats of minii nf
child, and physically her condition ii
one ot nope deferred maketh the
heart sick.' She clays with one
young man and another, but npne
of these loves reaches fulfilment,
its natural object.
"Before we criticise the eirl who is
attracted by many men we must al
ways discover what her aim is. Then
we can possibly understand her. She
is a 'seeker' and we do not know
what 'motivation' causes her various
quests., The 'seeker' tvne of indi
vidual often is looking for an ideal,
and places his or her own halo on
each new acquaintance, only to find
it does not fit. Then he or she trans
fers it to the next.
Held Back By Ideal.
"She is often held back from a
sensible choice by the impossibly
high ideal that has been held before
her both in literature and in the
home. She cannot find this ideal
man, for he does not exist. She re
jects one good man after another
and has not gained her object.
''There is great good in the world
ly wisdom that urges a girl to marry
Some suitable worthy man who de
sires her for his wife. But shenouts
I don t love him so very much and
then refuses. You see, she has in
her mind that ideal and the man
hardly approaches it.
"Now and then great and intense
attractions spring up. They come
into being suddenly and go out just
as suddenly, v -
Intense Passion Burns Out. .
"Any psychologist will tell you
that these intense passions bum out
quickly. A solid and satisfying re
lation is oie based on substantial
qualitie.
"J-et us teach the facts and the
psychology of life, to the young girl,
leaving out the old-fashioned ideal
of perfection. A girl who h consid
ering a young man's attentions
should try to understand him, his
needs, his temperament. She should
try to see his good qualities and not
expect him to be impossibly perfect
I believe much of our trouble
with the problems of girls is due to
our stern Puritanism in not being
LOST WAR GAINED
FORTUNE TRYING
TO OUTDO FORDS
Frenchman's Efforts to Manu

bile, a-la American "Liz
zie," Fail Miserably. '
By BASIL D. WOON,
I'nlveroal Service Staff Correspondent.
Paris, Nov. 8. America is the
only place, in the world that can
turn out a Ford. England tried and
England failed, and now France has
chalked "failure" across the ambi
tious "Citroen enterprise."
Andre Citroen was one of the
war get-rich-quicks. He made mu
nitions. When the armistice came L
he decided a low-priced automobile
was what France needed and set
about making it. But Fords were
still coming into the Boraux as?
sembling factory, and wlu.e Fords
could be bought in France Andre
wasn't sure he couldn't sell "Citro
nades." as his jitney was dubbed.
A few days later, therefore, an
embargo on American automobiles
was announced.X Pressure of public
opinion forced the lifting of the em
bargo last July, but, not to be out
done, the French finance minister
slapped an ostensible 75 per cent tax
on all foreign" cars, which works out
the French doing the valuing at
about ISO per cent duty. v
Citroen's next step was to an
nounce "quantity production" on
Ford lines. He announced he would
make 50 cars a day. He could only
make 35 a day, Until he went broke
because no one would buy them be
cause of an alleged defect in the
carburetor ,and the feed. Citroen
cars are passed up by the auto buyer
at 12,000 francs, but let an ancient
rebuilt 1910 Ford, appear on the
scene and its pwner can get 10,000
francs for it the first day.
The Citroen factory is now being
operated by another company. An
dre of the Ford idea is out in the
cold bemoaning the loss of his mu
nitions fortune and hoping that one
day somebody will give him a job.
Women Purchase Rock
Candy In Place of Sugar
Williamsport, Pa.,' Nov. 8. Wil
iamsporters, mostly women, who
"just can't drink coffee without
sugar," are paying 50 cents a pound
for their sweetening.
During the past few weeks since
the sugar shortage rock candy sales
have been unusually large. Rock
candy Sells for 50 cents a pound.
In former years the call for rock
candjj, except for "rock and rye,"
was small. Hence, the present run
caused some suspicion.
In Drilling.
Kerosene should be used in drill
ing, reaming or turning malleable
iron or aluminum. On the other
hand, turpsntine should be used in
stead of the oil for drilling hard
steel, as it will enable rapid drill
ing of the metal.

"So much of our teaching and our
literature is idealistic, unpractical,
and, therefore, seriously detrimental

Calls Cocoanut the
Perfect Food, Has.100
Disciples In the U. S.
LondonrNov.8. The "Apostle, of
the Cocoanut," who claims to have
100 disciples in Anterica, has just
been unearthed in German New
Guinea by the j correspondent of
Country Life. - '
The apostle. Auguste Englehardt.
35, wealthy and handsome, contends
that the cocoanut is the original food
of man, and should continue to be
so, as all other foods are responsible
for" the bad passions in the heart and
mind of man. Now that the war is
over, he intends to leave his island
home of 15 years, return to Europe
and proclaim his teachings.
Englehardt lives-on the island of
Kabason and is also a sun-worshiper.
He adopted the simple dress
of the natives, consisting merely of
a loin cJoth,,and when he receives
visitors this "outfit is completed by
the addition of a wrist watch, and a
walking stick. He speaks fluent
English and quotes Shakespeare.
He lives entirely on the cocoanut
and sleeps on a bed of sand. His

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Every Ford Owner Should Know
Just what Ford Service is, and why it is different from ordinary garage serv
' ice, and why it is more profitable to patronize the Authorized Ford Dealer. The
Ford Dealer is a part of the Big Eord Family. He carries a large stock of genuine '
Ford parts for repairs and replacements, so you don't have to wait while he sends for
them, And he uses only genuine parts because he knows the imitation parts aren't
d&pendable and don't wear, - , 1 '
He has a thoroughly equipped up-to-the-minute garage with tools that enable
his Ford Mechanics to efficiently and properly make any repairs from a minor ad
justmenlMo a complete overhaul. And when the work is finished, his bill represents
the reasonable, standard Ford prices.
i '
, Now, we are Authorized Ford Dealers a part qf the great Ford Service or-,
ganization which was formed chiefly to put within each community a dealer who,
"would have more than a passing interest in Ford repairs and adjustments. We are
prepared and equipped to render prompt, careful Ford service. Drive in or 'phone
