THE HELENA DAILY INDEPENDENT TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 11, 1926. I DIES OF SPOTTED FEVER AT BONITA Mftfl "If There? Anybody Doubts What This Medicine Kahiak Will Do Ill Convince Them, Declares Nor. Pacific Trainman. Missoula, May 10. Curtis Hutchins, rancher of Bonita, died at a local hospital yesterday from spotted fever.

Hutchins, who was 48 years of age, was brought' to the hospital Wednesday from his home. He had been at a camp three miles up Rock Creek and returned to his home two weeks ago. He took sick a week ago Saturday and when his condition became worse was brought to the hospital. Two years ago a brother, James Hutchins, who had been at the eame camp on the Rock creek, developed spotted fever and died. Mr.

Hutchins Is survived by his wife, three sons and three daughters. They are Mrs. E. Smith, Ruth and Ella Hutchins of Bonita and Elmer, Ralph and Albert Hutchins ot Bonita. Dont deceive yourself.

Learning from Waate. If one used, nothing then onetvould waste nothing. That seems, plain enough. Bui look at it from another angle. If we use nothing at all, is not thin tlie waste total? Is it conservation or waste to withdraw a public resource wholly from use? If a man skimps himself through all the best years of his life in order to provide for his old age, has he conserved his resource or has he wasted them? Has he been constructively or destructively thrifty? How are we to reckon waste? Usually we count waste in terms ol materials.

If a housewife buys twice as much food as her family cats and throws the rest away, she is considered wasteful. But on the other hand, is the house-wife who gives her family only half enough to. eat thrifty? Not at all. She is even more wasteful than the firft housewife, for she is wasting human lives. She is withdrawing Jrom her family the strength which they need to do their work in the world.

Materials are less important thari human brings although we have not yet copie quite around to thinking in that fashion. Once upon a time, society hung a man for stealing a loaf, of bread. Now society treats such an offense differently. It takes that man, puts him in a prison, withdraws the benefit of an amount of labor which might make thousands of loaves of bread, and then actually feeds him many times as much bread as he stole 1 We not only waste this mans productive power, but also we call on our other producers to give up a part of their production to support him. That Is flagrant' waste.

It is necessary and will be necessary to put men in jail until the news gets about that the profits of dishonesty do not compare with the profits of honesty, but there is no reason for thinking of a jail as a tomb for the living. Under first-class, non. political management, every jail in the country could be turned into an industrial unit, pay higher wages to the men than they could earn in outside industry, provide them with good food and reasonable hours ot labor, and then turn over an excellent profit to the state. We already have prison labor, but most of it is ill-directed, degrading labor. A criminal is a non-producer, but Kolor-Bak has the added virtues of a tonic.

He can surely be turned into a producer and probably into a man.

Yet, because we value human time so lightly and materials so highly, we do not heat fhuch about thb waste of tnan power in prisons nor do wi hear much of the terrible waste of withdrawing support from the families ot the convicts and throwing them on the community. Conserving our natural resources by withdrawing them from use is not a service to the community. Thjt is holding to the old theory that a thing is more important than, a man. Our natural resources are ample for all our present needs. We do not have to bother about them as resources.

What we do have to bother about is the waste of liuniai labor. Take a vein of coal in a mine. As long as it remains in the mine, it is of no importance, but when a chunk of that coal has been mined and set down in Detroit, it becomes a thing of importance, because then it represents a certain amount of the labor of men used in its niiping and transportation. If we waste that bit of coal which is another' way of saying if we do not put it to its full use then we waste the time and energy of men. A man cannot be paid much for producing somehing which is to be wasted.

My theory of waste goes back of the thing itself into the labor of.pro-diicing it. We want to get full value out of labor so that we may be able to pay it full value. It is use not conservation that interests us. We want to use material to its utmost in order that the time of men may not be lost. Material costs nothing.

It is of no account until it comes into the hands, of management. Saving material because it is material, and saving material because it represents labor might seem to amount to the same thing. But the approach makes a deal of difference. We will use material more carefully if we think of it as labor. For instance, we will not so lightly waste material simply because we can reclaim it for salvage involves labor.

The ideal is to have nothing to salvage. We have a large salvage department, which apparently earns for us twenty or more million dollars a year. Something of it will be told later in this chapter. But as that department, grew and became more important and more strikingly valuable, we began to ask ourselves: Why should we have so much to salvage? Are we. not giving more attention to reclaiming than to not wasting? And with that thought in mind, we set out to examine all our processes.

A little of what we do in the way of saving man power by extending machinery has already been told, and what we are doing with coal, wood, power, and transportation will be told in later chapters. This has to do only with what was waste. Our studies and investigations up to date have result iri the saving of pounds of steel a year that formerly went into scrap and had to be reworked with the expenditure of This amounts to about three million dollars a year, or, to put it in a better way, to the, unnecessary labor on our scale of wages of upward of two thousand men. And all of that saving was accomplished so simply that our present wonder is why we did not do it before. Here are a few examples We formerly cut our crank cases out ot trimmed steel plate exactly the width and length of the case.

That' steel cost $.0335 per pound because it had in it a good deal of labor. Now we buy an untriinnied sheet 150 inches long at $.028 per pound, shear it to 109 inches the sheared portion going to make another part and on thq remaining plate we can 'lay our five crank which are cut in pne operation. This saves four million pounds of steel scrap a year, and the whole saving amounts to nearly half a million dollars. The windshield bracket is somewhat irregularly shaped, and we formerly cut it from 18x32 inch rectangular steel sheets. A sheet gave us six brackets and a quantity of scrap.

Now, by taking stock 15'Ax32'j inches cut at a seven-degree angle, we get six 1 windshield brackets as before, but 'also in the same operation we get ten other blanks for small parts. This saves a million and a half pounds of steel a year. The oil-can holder is in the shape of a cross, and we formerly stamped it out of steel with great waste at a cost of $.0635 each. Now we cut the two parts of the cross separately with almost no scrap and weld them together, and they now cost $.0478 each. The bushing on the steering gear, which is made of bronze, was formerly .127 inches thick.

Ve found that it could be half as thick and do its work quite as well which saves us 130,000 pounds of bronze a year, or more than thirty thousand dollars. The head lamp bracket pad is a cross, measuring 7YiVi inches, and we used to rut fourteen of them out of a sheet 6x35 inches. We reduced the size of the bracket to 7 Hi by 3lA inches and now get the same number as before out of a sheet 5x35 inches which saves more than a hundred thousand pounds ol steel a year. We formerly cut the fan-drive pulley out of new stock. Now we cut it out of the salvage from the hand door stock which saves nearly three hundred thousand pounds of steel a year.

By making very, slight changes in twelve small brass items, we are saving nearly half a million pounds of brass a year. On nineteen items cut from bars or tubing we have, by changing the cutting tools and multiples and the length of the stock; saved 'more than a million pounds of steel a year. For instance on one part we used a bar 143 inches long and got eighteen pieces per bar we found that we could get the same number of pieces out of a bar 140 9-32 inches long thus saving more than two inches per bar. On many small parts which were formerly cold rolled, we have changed to hot rolling. This, on sixteen little items, saves about three hundred thpusand dollars a year.

This general policy has been extended in a great number of directions. We found that in many plates and bars, bought according to standard sizes or to specifications, we were not only paying for the $hear-ing and the scrap at the steel mill, but we were actually losing serviceable metal both in getting fewer parts out of the steel and also increasing 'our own scrap. Thus, there was a waste all around. We have been working on this only a yeai and have hardly had a start on what can be done. Scrap, we take it, is something to be avoided and not ot be remeited until no other course remains.

We had considered the worn steel rails from the railroad as scrap steel to be remeited. Now we pass them through a roll which separates the head, the web, and the foot which gives us excellent steel bars which can be tised for a number of purposes. This idea also is going to be carried further. On the other hand, such steel as we at present must consider as scrap amounts to a thou For 6 Days Only PARCHEN DRUG CO.

We had been selling this scrap to Pittsburgh and buying it back again as steel-paying transportation charges both ways. Now we have erected at the River Rouge a series of electric furnaces and a large rolling mill, so that we can convert the scrap ourselves and save this item of double transportation. If we cannot avoid all of this scrap and some of it is hardly avoidable we can at least save the waste of human labor in handling and transportation.

The salvage of materials about the shops has developed into a large industry, which is uncommonly important because it employs sub-standard men men who could not work in production. We can use men otherwise unemployable to salvage the labor of other men. The and classification of tools and machinery described in the last chapter have greatly aided in the salvage every part of an industry should fit into every other part. Thousands of broken tools and damaged plant equipment come in for reclamation every 24 hours. The value of the belting sent to the salvage department amounts to more than a thousand dollars a day.

This is all repaired and reworked, the smaller scraps going to make life belts for window washers or to the cobbler shop to he used for soles or patches. Broken tools of all kinds pliers, wrenches, shears, braces, bits, hammers, drills, gauges, chucks, planes, saws, dies, jiggs, and fixtures are Repaired and returned to stock, These repairs are not patchwork. The tools are actually rebuilt according to the original blue print and come up to specifications in every particular. 1 The department has a record of every machine operation in the industry and just what kind and size of tools are required. It can instantly tell what can be done with a damaged tool.

Generally it can be profitably reworked to smaller size, there being several machines which can use a drill even less than an inch in length. If a drill, a broach, or a reamer is worn out, it is cut down to a smaller size, always in aecor dance with the original blue print Cold-heading difcs are all reworked to the next size, and so on down through the entire list of tools, AH tool steel is classified and sorted before reworking. Tool handles of all kinds are salvaged; a broken shovel handle may make several screw driver or chisel handles. Picks, rakes, spades, crowbars, mops, brooms, and similar implements are all salvaged its long as it is profitable. Two men spend most of their time in repairing mop pails.
