[ [ | i 'FORD'S SALVAGING OF 199 SHIPS ' NEARS COMPLETION AT DETROIT| Even Short Pieces of | DETROIT, December 26.—The last chapter is nearing its close in another lof the unique vet soundly economic ventures of Henry Ford. It is the chapter on scrapping Government ships. hxgle at ancher after the war were 858 ships of steel, ordered by the Gov- ernment, but never used. The Shipping Board wanted to_sal- | vage what it could, and Henry Ford | put down his check for $1,697.470 for |199 of these ships, “as where is.” The country at large took his pur- chase as a fine gesture of hatefulness of war and all that war invites. But Mr. Ford hates waste as hates dirt. And he is a business man. ! He believed the ships could be turned |into use with a fair showing on the credit side, though he stated that he |would be content if he struck even on e deal. IlhAll of the vessels he bought, except | 18 lake type, have been scrapped at the docks of the Fordson plant of the Ford Motor Co. Three were converted into ocean steamers; 5 were converted into barges for the Great Lakes; 10 still are held, probably to be converted into uses in the development of the | new Ford rubber industry in Brazi | some for ocean steamers, others for barges. ‘The bringing of the ships to Detrolt and the process of dismantling and | scrapping were organized with the clocklike precision and regularity of movement characteristic of Ford pro- duction. | Everything Was Saved. | Everything was saved. Pleces of | wood less than 6 inches long were kept to start furnace fires. Larger pleces were found useful somewhere in the plants and shipping of the in- dustry. Expensive unused boilers and triple- expansion marine engines were pla neatly in line at one side of the yards. Some were installed at once in the Ford industries. Two of the bollers were installed in the Ford Motor Co. plant in Paris. Four of the engines were put to work in the company's plant at Chester, Pa., and two were installed in the Ford lumber mills at Iron Mountain, Mich. Six bollers have been installed in the open-hearth plant at Fordson to convert waste heat into steam. Steam from the ship boilers operated the 1.000-ton shears which cut scrap steel plates ke jackstraws into pleces small enough for furnace charging | boxes i One of the ship engines and boller | are producing power in the by-prod- | ucts plan at Fordson and supplies most of the power for this plant.

Many steam injectors were retained. Most of the galley stoses, in poor condition, were sent to the furnaces. Steam and ofl gauges have been reconditioned. Some ventilators have been used, others sent to the tin shops of the company for scrap. Br: scuff-plates and ladderways were saved, also en- gine room control machinery, winches and windlasses, pumps, cable and tow- ing hawsers, some of the latter un stranded and used for twine. This work of converting hawsers into twine was given to crippled workmen. ome of the deckhouses of the ships were removed intact and are being used as tool cribs, fire houses and oil stations. Asbestos and magnesium from pipes and boilers were shredded and re packed for use. Good cork from ice boxes was sent to Iron Mountain for dry kiln insulation. A large qualtity of ofl in the fuel and ol tanks and in the storm oil compartments was put through the Ford ofl plant for refinement. Pipe and condult in great quantity were salvaged. A new department was installed for straightening crooked pipe and for electric welding of short lengths into standard lengths—a new process in pipe salvage. Pipe fittings, pulleys, lanterns and all of the small stuff that makes a modern ship livable and usable came out of the dismantling work in great numbers and varieties. On the face of it it does not appear that Mr. Ford will profit greatly by the purchase of the ships. In fact, he did not expect to. He has kept approximately 800 men at work for 18 months on_the di mantling and scrapping. He must pay an additional $16,470 for each ship he retains for his own use or $298,460 for the 18 reserved. But the labor bill the original purchase price of the 199 ships, On the other side of the ledger is the value of the power plants, ap- proximately $50,000 each—if they can be used. But it is not certain how many can be used economically in the Ford industries. There is also on the | credit side the value of the scrap and plate steel, about $699,000. Then there are the assets of ship's crews and dismantling crews, prob- ably better trained in this type of | transportation and work than any other men in the world. Ford and his officials hold that highly trained men are one of the greatest of industrial | assets. Some of the men who started | with the crews bringing in the pur- chased ships and breaking them up have grown so rapidly in knowledge and abflity in the matter of naviga. tion and in unmaking and remaking ships that they have risen to p tions of great responsibility in the Ford organization, (Copyright. 1627. fn all e orS American NestvpaperATence)) .

ROME.—Undeterred by the present | high cost of living In Italy, bachelors, | bachelor maids, widowers and widows | continue to flood the matrlmonifl‘ want-ad columns in the Roman and provincial newspapers. A “distinguished and likable” young | man of 29, for example, now in the army aviation service, would “‘willingly espouse a signorina or a widow, affectionate, pleasant and po: sessed of a dowry.” The aspiring avi- ator adds that even if she were from the province instead of the capital, it would make no difference in his ardor. A miss of 30, whe describes herself as ‘“‘cultured, distinguished, symba- thetic and possessed of a dowry” {s looking for a gentleman between 35 and 45. He must, according to her requirements, be equally ‘“distin- guished,” but may be either a profes- sional man or business man for all she cares, provided he is “possessed” of sufficlent money. The young lady launches her ad “with the utmost se- riousness.” Nothing but “a diplomat of independ- ent means” will satisfy the propri- etress of a drug store in a certain health resort. He must be between 35 and 40, and it is “indispensable” that the lady have his photograph before going further into correspondence.

Speclal to The Star and North American Newspaper Alliance. JOLN, Neb: murals for Nebraska's new Cap be unveiled New Year day make the governor's reception room one of the finest in the country, just as the Capitol itself, designed by Bertram G. Goodhue, is attracting the attention of the architectural world. The murals are by Augustus Vin- cent Tack. The reception room is a barrel vault 26 feet high, 40 feet long and 22 feet wide. The room divides itself into three parts, side walls, upper and lower vaults. The ideas expressed in these areas refer to the State, its citi- zens and the fundamental activities of lite. On the hood over the fireplace, rep- resenting the State, is the primitive pioneer head of a womay, done in “grisaille” and surrounded by a ath suggestive of prosperity and This is surmounted by the , “Equality before the law. Portrayed as Protection. On the left of this mantel the State is represented as the protector of the sick in its hospitals, and the helpless in its asylums. On the other side of the mantel the State appears as the provider of learning, and this 1s sym- bolized by figures representing phi- losophy, science and art. A youth stands before them to make his choice of one or all. On the wall are four small panels, the two in the center representing the State, the guardian of the dignity of marriage and the sacredness of moth- erhood. Two smaller panels, which also are repeated on the opposite wall, comprising the four corners of the room, contain groups of children, these signifying that the four corners are upheld by its youth, the future of the State. & On the long wall opposite the win- dows are the three guarantees of the State, liberty of speech, liberty of divine worship, the rights of suffrage. In the center panel appears a sentence from the Book of Revelations: “The volce of God is as the sound of many waters.” The group comprising this panel are listening to this voice. To | the left is a group expressing the ef- | fects of liberty of speech. The panel on the right of the center expresses the idea of rights of suffrage. Attributes Represented. On the east wall opposite the fire- place is an allegorical group of three | figures representing the divine attri- butes of understanding, justice and mercy, directly over the door which leads into the governor's private room. On either side of this center are figures representing the various con- ditions of human life, old age, the fam- ily, motherhood, the rich and poor, strgng and weak, and all form part of a continuous processional emphasiz- ing the meaning of the motto of the State, “Equality Before the Law." In the upper section of this end wall the civilizations from which we have derived our culture and our codes of law are represented. These are India, Babylonia, Judea, Egypt, Greece, Rome, France and England, and above this group is one sentence from the Declaration of Independence, “All men are endowed by their Creator with cer- tain inalienable rights, among these are lite, liberty and the pursuit of | happiness.’ - The pendentives contain motives ex- preasing the virtues of citizenship, such as hospitality, friendship, char: ity and honesty, solidarity, concord, Iabor and hope. 'In the soffits of the penetrations are six medallions sur- rounded by decorative borders and they bear the names of six great citi- zens of the United States. In the place of honor s the name of Lincoln. On the opposite wall is the name of Washington_and on either side the names of Jefferson and Hamilton. On either side of Lincoln are Franklin and Marshall. Agriculture and Industry. In the vault ftself the ideas of agri- culture and industry are expressed. The center of the vault is represented by the four primitive elements, earth, Alr, fire and water. These are inclosed in a decorative circle in the center of which is a square panel. This square in the circle is an_ancient symbol of time in eternity. On the right of this center is Ceres ens, the symbol of the productivity and fertility of the earth. Balancing this figure fs Vulcan, who represents industry and the activity of life. Young men pay tribute to him. On this side are fire and water, be. cause they are the chief aids of indus- try.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. NEW YORK.—Unpasteurized, dirty milk constitutes a menace to the health of the 25,000,000 people living in the so-called small towns of the United States, a survey completed by the American Child Association indi- cates. “If we may use milk supply control as an indication of sanitary develop- ment,” says Dr. Samuel J. Crumbine, general executive of the association, “health department practice of the small town is still in its infancy. Its milk supply is little better in sanitary quality than it would have been if the process of pasteurization had never been discovered. The initial high bac- terial count of the milk is increased by fallure to ice the suppl tection of danger from infection by men and cattle is not prevented by pasteurization.” Data on Small Towns. Dr. Crumbine and Dr. Dorothy F. Holland, a staff associate, obtained in- formation on the milk supplies of 142 small towns and cities regarded as rep. resentative of the entire country. Ninety-seven of the 117 communities giving data on the extent of pasteur- ization reported that they were taking no such precauion. None had 40 per cent or more of its milk supply pas- teurized. “The results of the bacteriological yses indicate immediate need for ctive milk control,” Dr. Crumbine asserts. “An average of 25 per cent of the supplies’ examined contained 200 000 or more bacteria per cubic centi- meter; an average of 40 per cent of the supplies examined contained 100,- 000 or more bacteria per cubic centi- meter. Fifty-one cities gave a positive test for the bacteria present in cow manure in 50 per cent or more, 21 cities a positive test in 75 per cent or more of their supplies examined. “The milk supplies were on the whole dirty, according to physical standards. In only 2 of the towns and cities tested were 75 per cent or more of the supplies subjected to the | sediment test found to be ‘clean’ or ‘fairly clean.’ Only 19. cities had §0 per cent or more of their supplies ‘clean’ or ‘fairly clean.’ Lack of Ice Noted. “In 109 of the towns and cities sur- veyed none of the supplies examined was jced. Only 9 cities had 50 per cent or more of their supplies iced, |ard in 71 citles more than half of the |milk was being delivered at tempera- tures of over 556 degrees Fahrenheit. | “The condition in large cities pre- sents a striking contrast. Thirty of |61 cities of over 100,000 population re- | ported 90 per cent or more of their |supplies pasteurized. But even the |large city falls short of the goal—100 {per cent pasterization—which must | be attained If we are to have a safe milk suppl: ‘“The danger of infection of consum- ers by tuberculosis cattle is a real one {in the places covered by the survey,” | Pr. Crumbine declares. “Only 43 per |cent of the cities reported that the fcattle supplying their milk ha tuberculin tested within a year. . ‘\ Elevator Operator Gets $10,000. | SPOKANE, Wash, December 2§ | #).—Friendly interest of a physician |in the ambitious young elevator oper- ator in his office building had borne fruit today In a $10,000 legacy to help the youth obtain a medical education.
