Careful to Avoid Noise That

Fifty new and spotlessly clean cots
were arranged in neat rows In one of
the dormitories OF the Ford hospital,
Hamilton and West Grand.blvds.. Mon
day night. There was also a complete
outfit in the kitchen nearby, and what
is probably more important, large
quantities of oatmeal, coffee, bread and
butter were grouped about the cab
inets.
The sleeping room and kitchen are
what Henry Ford, automobile king.
had provided as the first step OF his
plan 10 give lodging and breakfast to
homeless and tobiess men. Nh feFd
planned to setart modestiy, sto take
care OF say, about so, on the frst
night, and later, when his new charit-
able venture was running more
smoothly, increase the number To $50.
So Henry Ford left his home early
In the evening, and drove 70 the hos
pital to see how the new project start
ed. He pounded on the door for a
while, and finally the German watch
man let him in.
Mr.. Ford was led to the large sleep
ing room. Seven men snored blissful-
ly. though II was only Z o'clock in the
evening Forty-three cots went
through the night unoccupied. The
German Waterman, swinging kero-
sene lantern led the way into the
room, and headed directly towards the
beds of the sleepers. But the man who
makes autos and millions tiptoed very,
carefullq and touched his watchman
on the shoulder:
"Sh," whispered the millionaire,
Don't wake them up" Then Mr..
Ford departed. Maybe he thought
there weren't so many homeless men
in Detroit after all.
Allen Mosher has been placed in
charge OF the lodging house by Mr..
Ford The seven who were houses

AN OWL FRY.

\ fayorite amusement in Texas
away out in the Panhandle region
is an FOWL fry" Just what is
meant by an owl fry is little
difficult to determine. An owl cal
is car that runs all night, or al
least a car that runs in the early
morning. which will aid fellow
in getting to his couch just an hour
before tHe cook announces breakfast
If that is to be taken as key by
which to determine what an owl fry
is, then an owl fry is to be en-
ioycd in the small hours of the
morning and may be any kind OF a
fry.
An egg fry is an occasion when
eggs are fried; fish fry is an oc-
casion when fish are fried and if
these are to be relied upon to de
termine the meaning, then an owl
rry is an occasion where owls are
fried Whether Texas young people
have become educated to appreciate
the fine aroma of the fried owl or
not. is not known, but we have an
idea that "A good many bottles would
have to go in advance of an ap-
probation of an owl as a thing Of
