Much Special Equipment

Seventy-five per cent of the 1,809 electrically-driven precision machines which make parts for the engines of the Oakland Eight and the Pontiac Six are especially designed to specifications worked out by the engineers of the Oakland Motor Car Company.

“Thousands of jigs, tools and fixtures also are built exclusively for the company in order to meet the exacting ioaklalndrPontiac standards -of precision. KEven the 284 test stands used to test Oakland and Pontiac engines be fore installation in the cars are of special design. On these stands the engines are hooked up “in tandem” An engine which already has been “run in” provides power 5. “run in” a new engine fresh from the motor assembly lines. [Later, this second engine performs the same service for a third. : More than 600 machines using special tools and fixtures con tribute toward the accuracy with which Oakland and Pontiac axles are built operations held to such close limits that they are comparable to the method used in the manufacture of fine watches. .

Special die, costing hundreds of thouands of dollars are used in the immense sheet metal department where ponderous presses, exerting hundreds of tonss of pressure stamp out fenders and similar parts. - This policy of using special equipment includes even the 470 fixtures on the Oakland- Pontiac engine assembly conveyor lines which carry production parts to the point of assembly.

Taken. Over. by, Bandits Mount Lushap, one, of the twelve sacred- mountaims of Ching, famed alike for the piety of its monks and for the beauty of its scenery, has been entirely pre-empted by bandits. The once sacred grottos, formerly given over to the contemplation of immense carved images of Buddha, or to. the rites of Taoist priests, are now used as prisons. Ancient Chinese writings declare that Mount Dushan was “10 miles high and 240 miles in circumference.” Tgday Lushan rises only a little more than 4,000 feet, but it affords an unsurpased view southward over the gulf of Pechili and eastward toward the Liaotung peninsula, on which the.Russians built Port Arthur and on which the Japanese now occupy Dairen, Lushan is very rugged, and in olden times every cliff was ornamented with a temple. Yeh}ituyu, the famous Chitan who rose to pewer under Genghis Khan, was an especial devotee of Luskan and legends have it that he selected this mountain to be “the eternal trustee of wisdom.” Aceordingly he is supposed to have buried 10,000 sacred books in a cavern under the peak of the mountain, and then to have erected over his repository the temple which today Is a bleak ruin.

Old English Custom of Wassailing Apple Trees

During the month of January, Somerset (England) farmers participate in the time-honored custom of “wassailing” the apple trees so as to insure a bumper. apple crop. The ceremony takes place at night by the flickering and uncertain light of a lantern.. The villagers- gather in each orchard in turn, round the largest apple trees they can find. A bucket of cider accompanies them, in which a small piece of toast is dipped and placed in the branches. Then an old chant is sung, starting: “Old apple-tree, old apple-tree, we've come to wassall thee.” This song concludes with an exhortation to the tree to: L

grow apples enow;

Hats full, caps full, three bushel bags full, : : Big barn floors full, and a little heap under the stair,

Then guns are fired and the villagers drink the health of the trees in cider. It is a quaint custom, and has been kept up for centuries. Ly a

Fertile Nile Valley

The waters of the Nile, which attain their greatest height in September, commence to recede in October, leaving behind them a rich, fertile soil, which first appears in the form of islands. To these the canny Egyptians row out at the earliest possib®: moment to plant melon-seeds, so that the melon-plans may mature, and fruit ripen, before the waters begin to rise again in June. One of the commonest sights in Egypt in 'the spring is a long string of camels roped nose-to-tail, and led by a small boy; each animal bearing on its back a huge netful of round green watermelons, ; *Til Next Time Although she has an assortment ef hats, she wants a new one.

Trees in United States The number of tree species varies enormously throughout the world, says Forests and Mankind. Over that great stretch covered by north Russia, Sweden, and Norway, the forests contain only about half a dozen tree species. In the hardwood forests of the East, one can find ten times that many in an afternoon’s walk, Tropical forests have thousands of known species and perhaps hundreds more not yet discovered. About eight hundred different tree species grow in the United’ States. Words Changed by Time A “heathen” originally was a dweller on g heath, The early Christians were mostly persons living in cities or walled towns; and the wild, half-sav-age dwellers of the mooriand heaths were among the last to abandon their old gods. In England the letter “e”, was formerly pronounced like *“a,” and because the village clergyman was usually the most socially prominent individual in the place he became ‘“the person.” We still preserve the old pronunciation and call him the parson. .

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA. ~—

- MUST NOT BILOCK ROADS. : : - Traffic, , The state highway commission has taken a positive stand against the tem porary blocking of arterial highways in small towns by band stands, carnival outfits and the like, announcing that it will not consent to detouring traffic for such purposes. Each year several small towns stage carnivals or shows of some sort, and generally wish to place the outfits on their main street, which in most cases is the route of travel of the state road through thé town. Promoters ask permission o detour traffic for a few days or a week, and when it is not granted, occasionally will establish a ‘blockade regardless of commission approval. The result is much confusion and inconvenience for through traffic until the commission hears of it and adjusts matters. o Unusually heavy traffic on all state highways make such a procedure impossible, it is pointed out, and promoters of street fairs and other amusements using the streets for show grounds should, in the interest of safety, likewise to:expedite traffic, set up their outfits on side streets. The unofficial closing of state roads through small towns for such enterprises as aforementioned, has more than any other reason advanced, caus ed the motoring public to request the commission to reroute important highways to the edge of the town.
