116,000 FORDS
FORFEBRUARY
ACUTE SITUATION CERTAIN AS
6,009 CARS A DAY PROOUC
• TION FAILS TO MEBL" THE
INCREASED DEMAND
"""" w. fj» ' '•-*
DETROIT, Mich., Apr. 1«. With
116,000 Ford cars *o'd at retail in
February, a new record for the short
est month in the year has been es
tablished. February sales exceeded
ihose of January by more than 15,000
and marked uw eleventh month in
which Ford sales have topped the 1(>0,
(•Ott line.
This sales record hears out predic
tions made at the opening of the year
that an acute shortage in Ford cars
is certain ami this shortage is ex
pected to be felt within the next two
months with t ie increased volume of
car buying which is always attendant
upon the spiln gmonths.
Even the high production sche.hlie !
set at the Ford Motor company's fac
tory here, which will reach 6,000 car*
and trucks a day, will he unable to,
meet the apparent demand for Ford
products.
Anticipating a great increase in the
demand for Ford cars during the pre -
ent year the factory here laid pla s
for increased pioduction to the 6,000
car a day schedule and since January
first had been consistently speeding u,»
manuufacture to teach this figure. De
ma»! so far has been of such great
proportions as to absorb nearly a I
production, and stocks in hands of the
dealers are at present the lowest they
have been in months.
From Ford mines down in Kentucky
anil West Virginia which send coal on
a Ford railroad to the River Rouge
plant, and from Ford forests and the
Ford mines in Northern Michigan,
sending timber and ore, there is a
constant demand for machinery ami
for locomotives. From the tractor
plant and the highland plant ard the
branches all over the world there i:
a never ending call for parts ai d ma
chinery. And the Kiver Rouge plant,
has undertaken to supply, from p.i
niary raw materials, all the needs of
this constantly expanding industry.
A power house soon will house the
World's greatest turbi? e engine, bei g
built by the Ford Mo-.or company it
Bell The locomotive rep; ir .-hip if
lapidly being expanded into a loco
motive and car building works.
Every day at River Rouge 2,000
tons of pulverized soft coal are roast
ed into 1,500 tons of coke. Lu»i yeu
the oven vapors yielded to the bioait
acres of towers, tanks, condenrint;
centrifugal, stills and decanters, 7 bil
lion cubic feet of gas, 17,766,000 lbs
of ammonium sulphate,
!ons of tar and 3,650,0(10 galldns o!
motor fuel. All these by-product*
are used in automobile making ex
cept ammonium sulphate which IVsohi
for fertilizers."
One of .the astonishing things a"
the Kiver Rouge plant is that although
22,000 men are employed there, few
are ever seen outside the buildings.
The intcrbuilding co:.veyots are co\er
ed and as invisible as the army »!
toilers.
Indeed, the scores of interlocking
and interdependent conveying system
adapted to the tremendous quantMy
production system, ire the despair of
many visiting engineers who cannot
understand how they can be set in
motion all at once, kept eternally In
motion and yet be so synchronized
that the individual de' ivories arrive
invariably at given points ia exact ac
cordance with the needs of the manu
facturing process.
The River Rouge plant as it now
stands is a mile and a half long and
three quarter* of a mile aide. «

Horton, of Williamston, county chair
man for this great humanitarian or
'|irlllll>l . —— —_
Mr. Horton pointed out tliat while
we are discarding our winter coth
ing we cau save human lives by send
ing it to the Near East relief instead
of putting it in the attic or closet
to provide a breeding ptace for moths.
Most counties of North Carolina have
just finished their financial campaign
ami the state, is reported "nearly over
the top in this respect.
Dr. E. C. Brooks, state superintend
ent of education, is clothing chairman
for the present drive and has the ac
tive assistance of Josephu.-r Daniels,
honorary state chaiiman and Col. G.
H. Bellamy, state chairman. Gover
nor Morrison has issued a proclama
tion declaring May Ist Bundle Day
and asking all true Tar Heels to semi
a bundle of warm clothing to the
Near East lelief.
Many school teachers of this coun
ty, st the request of Dr. Brooks, have,
organized their classes into corps for
collecting discarded clothing in then
respective communities. Clothing can
be turned over to Mr. Hugh G. Hor
ton, or sent to the Near East liel'cf
Clothing warehouse at Releigh.
Martin county's goal is twelve hun
dred pounds of clothing in which theie
is still some wear. I'aim beach suits
straw hats, and summer clothing can
not be used as the c imute in Armenia
closely appropriates the climate of oui
New England states. Many childie

who dragged themserves for miles suf

STANDARD IS YET SETTING
THE LAW ON GAS PKICES
One stroke of the pen raises the
price of gasoline 33 1-3 per cent in
sixty days.
It was the Standard Oil pen.
Two tuonths ago, gasoline was 18c
per gallon; ft is now 26c per gal
lon, the legislature put a 2c tax on
each gallon, 'which, if added to the
, 33 1-3 raise would make a total In
crease to the dealer of 8c per gallon,
or 44 4-9 per cent increase, yet no
body has heard of the oil wells dry
ing up.
We have often heard that supply
and demaatl ruled prices, but it wou'd
seem there is another cause in pric
ing oil.
While we ha ve« numerous independ
ent companies producing and refiniag
on their own hpok, yet in making
prices, the Standard is supreme. They
I are a law unto themselves and main
all men afraid.
They make prices all other eom-
I panies have to follow. They tare the
. "big cheese" and gosh, aint they mak
ing money by raising gas from 18c
I to 26c quicker than the wind can
shift. They I dont only own and con
trol oil and gas, they own and con
trol many old "gas bags" around
Washington.
