As is Quaternary wben taking oyer
the manufacture of a. new {product,
Ford haa applied bis own principles

Tbe Ford continuous conveyor system features the operation* so tbat
from tbe time tbe glass leaves tbe
furnace nntll ic becomes a polished

' Glass making, when .viewed in tbe
Ford plant, looks to be very simple.
Tbe raw materials are introduced into the furnace where they become a
molten mass. Drawn from tbe furnace in a aemi-iiquid state, tbe glass
passes under a roller, wbicb gives it
width* and tbfekne-a. and onto a
moving conveyor. Tbis carries it for
464 feet thru a gradually cooling furnace. At tbe end, it is cut and placed on another, conveyor which curries It through tbe grlndine and

certificate of injaryf Within one.year v
from the date ot separation  from tbe
service or  prior  to   Aogbst 9,   1922.
Tbe Director of the Veterans' Bureau  desires to Inform    the? persona
who may have sustained an Injury or
disease in the service, likely to result
In death or disability, as to their right
to certificate of injury-end also as to,
tbe limitations of tbe   statute  wbicb  '
make it  imperative tbat  tbey  bave
such   a certificate   if    compensation
should be payable  for disability  resulting,from such injury.     '.<.'-'
It is not necessary to   file  a claim
for pompensatlon or to  take any formal action other than  tbe   writing of
a letter totbe Director, United States
Veterans*   Bureau,   Washington,   D.
O , giving tbe name, rank, organisation, date of enlistment and discbarge
and stating the circumstances  nnder
which the disease or  injury   in-question was incurred.'   -     :-?-
. Heretofore not very much emphasis'
has been,placed on Section 306 of the ,
Act, tbe reason  being  tbat  tbe five
years mentioned therein 'has  not run
for many  ot the  discharged service
men wbo desire to  claim  their right
dndsr this Act rather than under the
Pension Law.   Those who were  discharged  between  April' 0,  1017 and
October 1917 have an optical right,
that is tbey can either  apply  to the
Pension Bureau or to  the  Veterans*""
Bureau If tbey apply within tbe statutory   period    namely,    within    five
years.    Persons discharged after October 6, 1917, will have no right whatever   unless   they    make claim   five ,
years from  date of'their  discbarge.
An example of tbat is:    "A man discharged from tbe Navy on a surgeon's
certificate of disability   December 1,
1917, files claim   witb- tbe   Veterans*
Bureau at any one of  the   district offices on December IS, 1922.    His claim
"must necessarily   be   disallowed because be has not applied for compensation within tbe five-year period unless  be  baa  a certificate ~of   injury,
wbicb as stated   above,   be must obtain  before August  9,    1922."     T»a
above statement also   relates to   application  for  compensation  becaust*
ot service  connected   deaths.-    Parents wbo are not receiving compensation   must 8how  dependency  within
five years after tne death of the person on account of whose service claim
is'made.    This provision of tbe Act ie
found  in   8ection   301,    sub-division
"G".   '-■-'-■ '     \..""
It might be well to mention in tbie
connection Section 315 of tbe Act.
Tbis section, of course, only covers
tbose wbo are enlisted after February
9, 1922. Sbonld a claim be filed by a
discharged man wbo enlisted after
February 9, 1922, regardless ot the
date of discharge, at tbe present time
he Is wlthont protection. Several
Acts are pending in Congress to cover such class of claimants, but. as tbe
statutes now stand tbere is no act to*
protect then., neither the Veterans*
Bureau nor tbe Pension Offloe ^a»
any jurisdiction over them.
beae facts are called to the atten-
4>f tbe ex-s*rvto« jnen  in  order
that tbey may »»«••-lose? any right or
r^virsaes under the War Bisk Inaar-
aace Act aeaarettdsd, Angaat 8, MB1.
