Workmen At Standard Wh°eel Co. Are Doing Their Bit Building Escort Wagon Wheels.

A government escort wagon is a horse drawn vehicle used for carrying ammunitions, baggage and other supplies. An order for 60,000 such wagons was sent out from Washington recently. The Standard wheel works received Its share of the big order. To fill it, about 1&0 men were added to the force. "This number will be sufficient to take care of the work," Mr. Car', D. Fischer, president of the company, said "We also have added a new department where needed iron parts may be made. In this way, we make the wheel complete in our own factory.

In the wood working department, where the government's work is being done, three shifts of men are working day and night. They are using automatic machinery. A number of employes in this department are young men who have had training in the boys' vocational school. "They are fine workmen," Mr. Fischer said. "I want to say that the vocational school Is the finest thing that has* ever been done for the boys of this country."

Mr. Fischer aaid the government work was being done in strict accordance with specifications sent out by it. He said that an Inspector had visited the factory this week and had passed on all the work that had oeen done All wheels—and they're some wheels, too, about three and fbur feet in diameter—will be Inspected before they leave the factory.
