Passengers arriving here on the
Cunarder Mauretania this week wit
nessed a mirage which provided ex
traordinary sights and thrill?.
London correspo
Times.
The mirage was observed when the
.-hip was a day out of New York. Ac
cording to Arthur Court, one of the
engineers, at 10:30 one morning
while most of the people were on
the deck enjoying the ideal morn
ing with brilliant sunshine n.rd a sea
like glam* he noticed well ahead on
•or* bo'
and
about 8.1,00 ton* with ti
with one funnei periodically -ending
out clouds of smoke. The steamer
w«- bound : n the ramo direction as
the Mauretania, and as she drew
more abeam all eyes were focused on
hir.
“Suddenly, to the amazement of
all watching.” Mr. Count continued,
“she appeared to turn turtle and all
we could see was a long rectangular
object absolutely devoid of any mast
or funnel or even smoke. A pa.'-cn-
ger who came on deck just then de
clared that it was an airplane car
rier. but as I ?aw her when she ap
peared normal and knew the condi
tion of the sea would be right for
producing a mirage I thought 1 could
afford to be amused at the different
conjectures.
“Then a woman in the group cried
‘oh. she's goneT* and sure enough
there was no sign of anything. The
woman who spoke appeared to be
badly upset, and to reassure her 1
went to my room for my prismat:cs,
thinking I could again spot the :hip
and relieve the tension. 1 focused
the glasses on where the ghostly ship
should be and felt awkward myself
when 1 could see no trace of her.
“I suppose it seemed much longer
than it really was before she - igain
turned up still as u rectangular uink,
but this in a few minutes split along
the center, and we sav- two ships, an
inverted one up in the air directly
above the ship that was behaving in
a more srber fashion. Altogether I
think that ship must have been per
forming there extraordinary tricks
for a full hour, for until she disap
peared a>tern sh<* never again—to us
—-appeared normal. While ibcam of
us she could not have been more
thnn feur miles away.”

mendous amount of attention is the
final development of the multi-range
transmission with fo’ir-speed gear-
really provided
with a choice of two high gears,
which might be called “high” and
“higher". Thc one called “high"
which is third speed is extremely
suitable for city traffic or for a
country with exceptionally steep
hills, and the other called “higher”
is suitable for nprmal, open Lountry
driving. The third speed can now be
thought of as a high gear wth a lit
tle greater gear reduction than the
fourth speed. It is comfortable to
drive and so quiet that no annoy
ance can ever be felt in using it,
even for hours at a time.
So successtul was the idea of hav
ing body and chassis men actually'
work together instead of merely
talking together about their Work,
it will no doubt become accepted
practice as far as the Chrysler or
ganization is concerned. Not only
is there no question but tha*. nil
parts will function in harmony but
there is a noteworthy ab.-enc.- of
those compromises that so often re

B ECAUSE the automobile is such an im
portant factor in the lives and pros
perity of so many people, thc pur|»ose of
the Ford Motor Company is something
more than the mere manufacture of a
motor car.
There is no service in simply setting
up a machine or a plant and letting it
tarn out goods. The service extends into
every detail of the business — design,
production, the wages paid and the sell
ing price. All are a part of the plan.
Thc Ford Motor Company looks upon
itself as charged with making an auto
mobile that will meet the needs of
millions of people and to provide it at a
low price. That is its mission. That is
its duty and ils obligation to the public.
The search for better ways of doing
things is never-ending. There is cease
less, untiring effort to find new method i
and new machines that will save steps and
time in manufacturing. The Ford plants
arc, in reality, a great mechanical uni
versity, dedicated to the advancement cf
industry. Many manufacturers come to
see and share the progress made.
The greatest progress conies by never
standing still. Today’s methods, however
successful, can never he taken as wholly
right. They represent simply ’he
lies! efforts of the moment. To
morrow must bring an improve
ment in the method.' of the day before.
Hard work usually finds the way.
Once it was thought impossible to cost
gray iron by the endless chain method.
All precedent was against it and every
previous experiment had foiled. But fair
prices to thc public demanded that waste
ful methods he eliminated. Finally the
way was found.
Abetter way of making axle shafts saved
thirty-six million dollars in four Years.
A new method of cutting crankcases re
duced the cost by 8300,000 a year. The
perfection of a new machine saved a
similar amount on such a little thing as
one holt. Then electric welding was de
veloped to make many holts unnecessary
end to increase structural-strength.
Just a little while ago, an endless chain
conveyor almost four miles long was in
stilled al the Rouge plant. This conveyor
hay a daily capacity of 300,000 parts
weighing more than 2.000.000 pounds.
By substituting thc tireless, unvarying
marliine for tasks formerly clone by hand,
it has made the day’s work easier for
thousands of workers and saved time anti
money in the manufacture of the car.
All of these things are duac in the
interest of the public —so that the
benefits of reliable, economical
transportation may lie placed
within the means of every one.
