Profits for Consumers.

In an era of everlasting prices,
there is a ray of hope for the ulti-
mate consumer. Henry Ford maker
of automobiles for the millions, has
come forward to give the buying pub
lie, the most significant recognition
yet accorded by any industry. The
innovation is perhaps equal in i'm
por.ance to Mr.. Ford's performance
last winter in adding s1O,OOO,0OO a
year to the wages of the men who
make his cars. Now he extends his
aprofitlsharing bounty to those who
buy them. Every purchaser is to
get $40 if the sales amount to 3O0,-
600 cars for the year. Inasmuch as
that figure seems assured when the
proposal was announced, it can hard
ly be looked upon as a mere piece of
clever advertising. Both workmen
and consumersi are to share in the
philanthropy of a man who does not
want to take for himself alone the
immense profits made possible by his
business genius. The principle is
not absolutely new. The N. O.. Mel
son Manufacturing company of ST.
Louis, makers of engines and boilers,
since 1905 havetbeen sharing profits
with their customers. After deduct
ing six per cent as interest on their
capital, they divide the rest between
their employees and their patrons,
each customer receiving proportion
of the whole in accordance with the
gross profits on his purchases. There
is a significant difference, however.
in the fact that the Nelson customers
and workmen are paid in stock, while

An exchange suggests that the

farmers clamoring Tor workers. But
the idle men of the cities would ra-

adopt the eight-hour rule, allowing
the city fellow to begin work at 8

Says Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
head of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance: 'This war proves
one thing-men are more hysterical
than women. Or they show hysteria
in different way, When women are
hysterical they weep; when men are
hysterical they fight. When enough
men are historical, a nation goes to
war. Europe is simply suffering
from the collective hysteria of men,"
That will probably hold the Powers
for a while.
