Auto Executive ‘“Socked” Boss By Mistake; Describes
Experiences as Machinist's Apprentice
Philadelphia, June 24—Walter P. Chrysler, the automobile maker, tells how
as a machinist’s apprentice, he mistakenly ‘socked’ his boss in the face with
a wad of grease-soaked waste and lost his job on the spot.
IMr. Chrysler, in the second of a series of articles called “Life of an Ameri-
can Workman,” relates in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post
the tragedy of his error and the lesson it taught him.
A fellow -worker in the railroad shop
at Ellis, Kansas, had provoked young
Walter's anger hy a rough practical
joke. Thinking he had cornered his
tormentor, Chrysler attacked instead
the shop foreman, Gus Neubert.
Mr. Chrysler says: “I felt as if I
had been banished from earth. I was
sick. Nothing in the world was half
so important as my apprenticeship.”
Later, “I went to Mr. Neubert. I beg-
ged his pardon while tears splashed on
my chest.”
After a severe dressing down Mr.
Chrysler was permitted to return to
his job. “Today,” he says, “out in
Kansas City, on our payroll, there is
the name of a gentleman, a friend of
mine, now quite old—the name is Neu-
bert.” i
After that fright the young man
“really settled down to learn” because
he knew just how much he loved me-
chanics. He made his own tools, .as
was the custom at that time. His first
venture was a pair of calipers. Others
followed and many of .them helped him
to be assigned to jobs, which more ad-
equately satisfied his passion to learn
about machines. - The tools he made
may be seen in a glass case on the
seventy-first story, the observatory
floor, of the Chrysler tower in New
York City.
Today Mr. Chrysler says: “I see
that mainly we owe the tremendous
advances of the physical aspects of
eur civilization to new and better tools
. .. How can anyone be so shortsight-
ed as to suppose that opportunities
now are fewer? In a world that offers
not only new and wonderful tools but
likewise astonishing new materials . . .
pew human needs and bigger human
' problems are being revealed faster
than a single human mind can ever
eount them.”
At the end of his four years’ ap-
prenticeship young Chrysler knew all
that the Ellis shops could teach him.
His superiors considered him one of
their best machinists. But the confi-
dent young man thought to himself,
“Gosh! Here I am already twenty-two
and still in Ellis.” It was not just
wanderlust; he wanted to learn more
about machines, so he went to Well-
ington, Kansas, to work fer the Santa
Fe.
Life in Ellis was not all work how-
ever. There was the band! “In all
the small towns I knew,’ Mr. Chrysler
writes, “band practice was first of all
a device for fun; it gave an excuse for
getting out at night, and hence a
chance to meet the other boys and
girls of other parents just as strict
as yours.”
‘And, of course, there was a girl
named Della Forker (Mrs. Chrysler).
‘The element of romance had a marked
influence on young Walter. It fired his
desire to seek greater opportunity. It
gave him patience to endure piano
lessons. (Della took them from the
sa me teacher), led him to master the
family organ, and finally caused him
to forsake the snare drum for a clari-
net and later a tuba.
ler’'s words, “I had become a good |
«drummer but . . . Hell, you could not
serenade a girl with a drum!” For|
that matter love has sweeter voices
than the tuba, but the auto man ex-
plains, “It made a big noise, and I
liked it.’ In short, “It was swell to be
a member of the band.
Mr. Chrysler points out that he work-
ed in the shop not less than sixty
hours every! week.

of any hay means getting it sufficient-
ly dry to keep well with the least pos-
sible loss of leaves and the minimum
exposure to dew, rain, and sun bleach.
After it is about half cured, clover and
alfalfa will dry just about as rapidly
raked up in small windrowse as in the
swath, say Penn State agronomists.
Help Seeds to Grow—After seeding,
one or several rains often occur which
make the surface hard and crusty. If
there are no rains for another week
the crust becomes too hard and dry
for the seedlings to penetrate and the
germinating seels die. Keep the sur-
face soft and moist. Penn State veg-
etable gardeners recommend.
Make War on Moths __Everybody is
interested in keeping the moths out of
clothing. Woolens, furs, and feathers
are their diet. Circular 150, ‘“House-
hold Insects,” tells how to control
these pests. ‘Ask your county agent
for a copy or send to the Agricultural
Mailing Room, State College, Pa.
