NOBODY KNOWS BUT MOTHER.
Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together,
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knows—but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes,
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's pained by naughty blows,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears,
Lest darlings may not weather
The storm of life in after years,
Nobody knows—but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father
For that sweetest gift—a mother’s love!
Nobody can—but mother.

HOW AN AUTOMOBILE
IS ASSEMBLED.
There are as many ways of assem-
bling an automobile as there are of
figuring a problem in interest. When
1 say that an automobile is assembled
I do not mean that always the parts
are brought from many different fac-
tories and assembled in one place.
That may be true and it may not be.
Some plants have their own found-
ries and forge rooms and some do not.
But, whether the parts are made in
the factory or outside, the automobile
must be assembled; that is, all the
parts must be brought together and
put in their proper piaces.
In two things all manufacturers
seem to be agreed; they all assemble
the auto in three large parts, the
body, the engine, and the chassis and
they all arrange their work in such a
manner that one man does but one
thing and does that well. Many au-
tomobiles pass him in a day on each
of which he does one little piece of
work. ;
The axles are the usual starting
point in assembling a car. In some
factories these are mounted on a con-
veyor on which they move along in
front of the workmen. Running per-
pendicular to this conveyor are many
“lines of construction” which end near
the conveyor. On these lines of con-
struction, individual parts are being
finished—wheels, fenders, lamps, ete.
They reach the conveyor at just the
right point to be attached to the car
as it passes.
In another type of construction, the
parts to be attached are all assembled
first on a triangular-shaped rack. This
is done on the second floor. The rack
is then set on a slanting conveyor
which carries it to the floor below, in
front of a pair of axles all ready to
be unloaded. The conveyor passes
slowly along and, as it comes to a cer-
tain workman, he takes on a part from
the rack and attaches it to the car.
One by one every part is put into
place; at a certain spot the body
comes sailing down through a hole in
the ceiling and at another, the engine
makes its appearance. At last when
the rack is empty the car is pushed
from the conveyor, a perfect automo-
bile, and the rack, which has carried
the parts round the circle, is sent back
upstairs for another load.
Other manufacturers, merely mount
the axles on a four-wheel truck and
push this truck from place to place
gathering up the parts as it goes
along.
It is very interesting to watch the
workmen as they do the particular
task assigned to them. Practically
nothing is done by hand. Are there
some burs to tighten? You hear a
strange whir and see an electrical
wrench tighten first one then another
and another with lightning speed. Is
there a rivet to be hammered down?
You hear a rat-tat-tat and see an elec-
tric riveter doing the work with char-
. acteristic speed. If the wheels are to
be painted, a needle-brush is used.
This shoots a fine spray of paint over
each wheel, after which the wheel
moves slowly, so slowly that you can
hardly see it go, through a furnace
which dries it by the time it comes
out on the other side.
The bodies of the cars are usually
assembled on an upper floor, from
which they can be lowered to the chas-
sis later. The upholstering of the
better grade of automobiles, uires
the services of very highly-skilled
workmen. In this, as in every other
department, every scrap of material
is saved and carefully divided into
classes. Small scraps of the leather
go to New York where they are made
into pocketbooks.
Throughout the entire factory
everything moves with the precision
of clock-work. Nothing is left to guess
work. Small dial machines which
measure variations to one-one-thous-
andth of an inch are put on every bit
of shafting to test the accuracy of its
grinding. Before it is used, every
piece of steel is tested by a machine
which submits it to a great pressure.
If the machine makes a dent on the
steel, larger than a circle drawn on a
magnifying glass set in the proper
place to allow a tester to examine it,
the steel is rejected. It is by such
methods as these that the American
automobile is coming to have a name
for service and perfection the world
round.
When the car is assembled, it does
not then go out of the factory at once
but is set up on rollers and is “driv-
en” some hundreds of miles on these
rollers until it is determined that
everything is working perfectly. Of
course while the car is being tested,
it does not move from the spot where
it stands, Only the rollers, on which
it stands move. But even this energy
is not wasted, for shaftings are at-
tached to the rollers and while the car
is being tested it is turning wheels in
the factory which are assisting in the
manufacture of other automobiles.
The boy who finds himself obliged
to work for a living is fortunate if he
secures a position in an up-to-date
automobile factory, for if he is a
bright boy, and willing to learn there
is almost no branch of science or in-
dustry which he may not in time use
in that very factory. There is an op-
portunity to use all the knowledge of
physics which he can master. There
is the engineering room, the photo-
graphic department, the art room of
the advertising department, the chem-
ical laboratory, where accurate tests
of steel are made, and many other
problems are solved; in fact there is
almost no branch of science in which
a boy may be interested, but he will
find a place for the use of his talents

SPRAY NOW FOR
BETTER APPLES.
An imperative warning to Pennsyl-
vania apple growers to save their
crops from partial destruction by the
worst epidemic of scab the State has
experienced in years, has been issued
by Pennsylvania State College exten-
sion plant disease specialists. Unless
apple men spray immediately to con-
trol the disease, great losses will re-
sult.
The reason for alarm is based upon
the recent and excessive rainfall that
came just at apple blossoming time.
The rain has made conditions ideal for
the rapid spreading of scab infection
into the blossoms, a sure sign of ser-
ious trouble, according to Professor
E. L. Nixon, extension plant patholo-
gist at the college. :
“This week is all that is left to save
the crop by application of the ‘pink
spray’ to the susceptible varieties,”
Professor Nixon said after summariz-
ing the reports of conditions from all
parts of the State. “Growers in
south eastern counties must spray at
once. Those in central and northern
MEDICAL.
A Bellefonte Man
Gives Evidence
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Bellefonte Reader.
The value of local evidence is indis-
putable. It is the kind of evidence we
accept as true because we know we
can prove it for ourselves. There has
been plenty of such evidence in the
Bellefonte papers lately, and this
straighaforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Bellefonte people that will not be ea-
sily shaken.
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I suf-
fered for a long time with backache
and kidney complaint. My back ached
so badly I could hardly keep on the
job. It was hard for me to do heavy
lifting or sawing. My kidneys acted
too often at times and the secretions
were scanty and” highly colored. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills from the
Parrish Pharmacy and they helped me
so much that I kept on using them. My
back is now well and strong and I am
free from the trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Alters had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 56 17
counties should spray next week. The
stage is set for one of the worst epi-
demics of apple scab ever known in
the State, if the wet weather contin-
ues. There is a tremendous source of
infection from the old leaves of last
year. It cannot be controlled with all
the rain we have had unless the ‘pink
spray’ of lime-sulphur is applied at
once, which is four days ahead of the
usual schedule. Facing serious loss-
es, the growers must act immediately,
even if the work must be done in ear-
ly morning or late evening, or
tween showers.”
Practically all the more prominent
varieties are susceptible except the
York Imperial. Those to be sprayed
include Staymen. Rome Beauty: Black
Twig, Mackintosh, Delicious, Baldwin,
and Greenings.
