SUCCESSFUL MEN
CYRUS H. X. CURTIS.

A passage in a story Rudyard Kipling
was writing for Mr.. Curtis referred to
the hero, in his excitement and despair,
gulping down a glass of brandy. AS
Mr.. Curtis objects to any reference to in
toxicating liquors in his publications.. he
telegraphed to Mr.. Kipling asking him
to change the passage. He received the
following reply. "Strike out brandy
and insert Mellins Food"
Curtis first adventure in the publishing
business was made on borrowed capital.
but his determination to push ahead and
ability to hold on soon enabled him to get
out Of debt and place his magazine
among the leaders.
His ability to build is clearly shown In
his efforts with the Saturday Evening
Post When he purchased 1t, 1t was In
a deplorabe condition with a circulation
not over a hundred and scarcely no ad-
vertising. One editor was all Il could
boast but through his untiring efforts and
shrewd business management II now
boasts thirty editors and million and
a half circulation.
He is determined enterprising, and
thoroughly self-reiIent ABSOLUTE honesty
In all thinJs is his motto.
The protection of his renders in the
nefarious advertisements Is a matter OF
history In the publishing world.

A UNIQUE POLICY
AT FORD PLANT
Guides Always Available to Visi.
tors at Highland Park Plant of
Ford Auto Co.

Detroit, Mich, April LIST, 1914. The
policy of the Ford Motor Company is
rather unique in one respect in that
every effort is made to welcome and en-
courage visitors. In Europe and in
some of the eastern automobile factories
it IS impossible to gain entrance under
any pretext.. Visitors come to the Ford
IN great numbers from all over the
United States and Europe and they av-
erage about $50 a day. For their recep-
ton and guidance a staff of from 25 to
30 guides is available and a good portion
OF these are on the job constantly. They
take the visitors around the plant in
small groups and over a regular route,
much as a cooks touring party is shown
the high spots of a foreign country. OF
course summer. when visitors to Detroit
are most numerous. sees the largest
crowds at the Highland Park plant, but
the number of sightseers keeps up pretty

and address of every visitor is kept in a

tional fame are at the plant they are

Two hundred and fifty Michigan edi-
tors and printers, at a meeting of the
State Press association i n Detroit, visited
the plant of the Ford Motor Company
recently and were taken on a tour of in
spectlon through the great Highland
Park factories. The visiting journalists
were given an intimate view of all the
various operations necessary in the man
ufacture of Ford cars and got some idea
OF the system that makes the huge Ford
production possible. They were taken
to the motion picture theatre IN the
Ford plant and shown several reels of
film which illustrate interesting phases
of Ford manufacture.
The visitors were delegates to a con
vention which represented several state
bodies OF newspaper workers, including
the Michigan Woman's Press Associa-
ton, the Michigan Press Association and
the Wolverine Press Association. The
purpose of their gathering in Detroit was
to amalgamate.

braids must depend upon the length Of
the hair If it is very long they will
be coiled and pinned down at the back

feature to be noted in this coiffure
especially is the fact that the hair
is brought forward so that the braids
begin above the ears.
To dress the hair in this way sue
