During the brief time he was in Wash

place as the central figure in one Of the
most important conferences held at the
Presidents invitation during the present
administration. but he was sought out by
scores Of men prominent in public life
who were anxious to meet him.
Mr.. Ford was the house guest of Sen
ator William Alden Smith during most
of the time that he was in Washington
and at the night session OF the Senate
Thursday the prominent Detroiter who
went 10 the Capitol to see the legis-
lative wheels go round. was pulled into
the marble room and compelled to hold
an impromptu reception. during which
practically all of the senators present of
both parties were introduced to him.
Our company's profit-sharing plan has
worked out successfully in every way"
said Mr.. Ford. in answer to acquestion.

After he was rested Mr.. Ford talked
with his friend, Senator Smith. and was
invited to become the senator's house

One of the interesting incidents of Mr.

of small car to Senator Smith. his
