11 I UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, CA., JUNE 7, 1»2« TbisWeek y Arthur Brwbauc ‘ NOGUCHI BRAVE MAN. LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. THE AUTOMATIC MACHINE. SHE WEIGHED 240 POUNDS. The death of Dr. Noguchi, a cour agvous Japanese scientist, is a great lo»* to the world. Backed by the Rockefeller In- a.itute, Noguchi was a leader in th« war against disease, and poverty ami misery born of disease. Yellow fever killed him at last, ns he sought for more knowledge in the African yellow fever regions. Some bronze burdit on horseback should give his high place to Noguchi, whose memory reully deserve* honor. America is the country oi oppor- thcn What everybody kno table. For instance, consider the baby carriage business that C. J. Smith managed in Milwuakee up to 1887. Fifty thousand dollars would have bought it. A. O. Smith inherited it and made bicycle parts. In 1004, the A. O. Smith Corpora tion was formed and L. R. Smith, grandson of C. J., took charge. His father put $80,000 and others put $00,000 more into the corporation. L. R. Smith did new things, making frames for automobile*, keeping up with the times, and ahead of them. Time passed, and in 1923 J. E. Uihlein advised this writer and other friends, "buy stock in the A. O. Smith Corporation. A very able man, with new ideas, is running." The stock sold then at $13 a share. A little later it sold at $523 a share, and five shares were given for one. The baby carriage business that you could have bought in 1887 for $50,000, or in 1023 for $1,300,000. now sells on the Stock Exchange at $40,000,000. The ablest American manufactur ers could learn about mass produc tion and labor saving in L. R. Smith’s plant r One of his mills, making 35,000 automobile frames a week for Chevrolet ■clou machinery, does with 220 men work that requires 2,000 men in other plants. One automatic machine, changing steel sheets into uteel frames, is 350 fe t long. In on replace machinery and thirty-four men handle 14.000 wide bars ad 30.000 crossbars and drive 1,000,0(10 rivets per day. Machines do the work, men look on. From the floe- below, heavy steel rivets are blown up through . pin. hand frames and fixed thi touching anything. There you see solved the probl. raised by inadequc! e immiglhtu You wonder that marvellously effi cient long lusting automobiles sold at present price*, but ren for one item that painting ai mobile frame, baking it so that it comes out with a beautiful OPTOMETRY brilliant black enamel, costs, for human labor, one and a ''.alf cents, and the labor is highly paid, if any pay can be called high for labor pro ducing Ruch results. Mr. Smith's institution, r volution- izing important branches of Amer ican industry, is one of the many such pl-nts throughout the nation. Our manufacturers, using their brains, relying on new- methods, not on l<>w wages, can undersell Europe and Asia. The thinking brain and the automatic machine are the real wealth producers. Weight has its advantages, Falstaff to the contrary notwithHtunding. Mrs. Myra Huddleston, of Mattoon, III.. has swimming. She swam fifty hours, beating any other woman's record by an entire day. and beating the best masculine record by four hours. Mrs. Huddleston weighed 240 pounds when she started. 20 pounds less when she finished.
