FURNAGE DUST ‘TS GONSERVED Ford Company Piles Up Mountain at River Rouge Plant. DETROIT, “‘Mich., Feb. 33—For more than three “years the *Ford Motor Company at {ts River Rogue plant here has heen saving dust until today aq veritable mountain. of it, containing at least 50,000 tons, stands out in imposing proportions at one place on the plant grounds. Of course it ien’t dust in the or- dinarily necepted terms, but a much more valuable. property. It is blast furnace dust, a fine. sand-like substance which {s b'own from the furnaces in the blast and utterly worthless in that state, but valuable because fifty per cent of it is iron ore. _ The other fifty per cent is coke dust, So the Ford Motor company has been saving ft until the time came when the iron ore could be re claimed. and tn examples of the value of ttle savings this certainly stands out @s among the most strik- ine. “X"monent’s figuring will show it. Of the 50,000 tans in the dust moun- tain at River Rogue, 60 per cent or 25,000 tons is iron ore in dust form. The Vord Model T cylinder casting when finished weighs 82 pounds, and reclaiming of the 25,000 tons of iron ore dust means sufficient iron for more than 600,000 cylinder. cast- ings. The company now has started to sintering plant which has just be- reclaim this dust through the new gun operations and which forms an- other highly Interesting feature of River Rogue activities, The Sintering Plant, a model of efficienty, is erected in close prox- imity to the two big blast furnaces and joins the giant ore bins from which the furnaces are fed. The furnace dust, caught up in suction conveyors, is carried direct- ly to the Sintering Plant and there mixed with cast iron borings gath- ered from the various Ford manu- facturing units. Conveyors also carry the mixed dust to the plant and dump the mixture into the Sintering pan which is of three ton capacity.

J. Neph'er, general sales manager of the Oakland Motor Car company. The striking fact of the low price of automobiles today has been brought out through fikures sup- plied by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, which show that automobiles, tires and gasoline actually cost less today than before tee war, “Today you can purchase 111 cents worth of automobile, 101 cents worth of gasoline and 123 cents worth of es with your 1913 dollar, despite Overheating Of Crankcase Is Discussed It sometimes happens with a new machine that the crankcase of the engine becomes abnormally heated after a short run. The usual cause of this is leakage past the piston rings, which allows the hot gases in the combustion chamber to en- ter the crankcase and heat it, The moment th's trouble mani- fests itself the cylinders should be removed and an inspection made of the rings, The slots may have worked round until they are in line, or one of tHe rings may be cracked or broken. A discolored patch de- notes a Jeak. but If the rings appear to be in good order the caune must be sought for elsewhere. The mix- ture may be too rich, but this wou'd result in overheating of the cylinders as well. It is quite within the bound of possibility that the bearings are at fault; they may be a shade tight, and thus become hot after the engine has been run- ning some time. on the other hand; they may not be getting proper lubrication. It would, therefore, be ‘advisable to overoil the engine for some time and the trouble may disappear. But if the engine is stiff to pull round a seizure may be imminent, so it should be taken down and the bear- ings examined. All engine de- rangements should be attended to the moment they mantf-st them- selves. If abnormal heating oc- curs, pour oll in.—Automobile Di- gest. the fact that you can get only 61 cents worth of general necessities “Today you can purchase 140 cents worth of Oakland with the 1913 dollar, as the models we put out then were 40 per cent higher in price than the greatly improved new Oakland. “The pre-war dollar is worth to- day only 51.6 cents in clothing, 68.5 cents in food, 61.2 cents in rent. 45 cents im frame and 46.3 cents in brick buildings, “Furthermore, the current mod- e's of motor vehicles and the present type of tires are far better than 10 year ago., even at the lower prices prevailing today. “The motor car industry has met the problem of higher t»bor mater- ials and tax expenditure by the econ- omies of large scale production, re- ducing prices in confidence that the public would respond to the excep- tonal value. That ths public has actually Gone so is a mutter of au tomotive history. WALTER P. CHRYSLER MADE PRESIDENT — OF Bc MOTOR §COMPANY Detroit, Feb. 23—According to an announcement issued yesterday, Walter P. Chrysler has been elected president of the Maxwell-Chrysler- Chalmers companies, and will in the future serve in that capacity as well as continuing as chairman of the board of directors. To those familiar with the Maxwell-Chrysler- Chalmers situation, the move occa- sioned no surprise. For the past six months, since the installation of new machine: in the Chrysler plant for the manu- facture of the Chrysler car was be- gun, Mr. Chrysler has taken an in- creasingly ive. part in the affairs of the companies. More than half of his time during that period has been spent in Detroit. It is expected that his future activities as president will bring him in even closer touch with the com- plete Maxwell-Chrysler-Chalmers or. ganization, In fact, it is stated that his desire to become more closely connected with the. dealer organization since the introduction of the motor car bearing the Chrysler name, was one influencing factor in his acceptance of this new post.

ROYLE (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, >. 23—The auto mobile has become a tremendous factor in the industrial and business fe of the United States and the way In which automotive traffic is regulated is bearing strongly on real estate values, the prosperity of public utilities, factory output and other factors In the economic situ- ation. Nowhere is this more ap. parent than in Detrolt. The question “where shall we park today” is acute in the motor manufacturing center yet the pollce department there seems not to have reached the end of its resources in finding a way to permit free use of automobiles. Instead of abso- lutely prohibiting parking, there is scarcely a block in that city where it is not permissable to park for a few minutes at least, But motor. ists who abuse the privilege are apt to find the’ ars missing. The police have a “dog wagon” equipped with towing lines, jacks and all parapher: quickly moving @ parked car to the “pound” where it is stored until the owner pays the prescribed fine for overtime park- ing.
