New York Comment.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Newspapers
today had little space for the Ford
Motor company's profit sharing plan
two newspapers commenting as fol
lows:
World-The Ford Motor company
of Detroit has "cut melon for its en-
ployes.'-"A melon of rare order.
But 1t is more than that 1t is step
toward the stewardship of industrial
welfare on the part of employers OF
an interesting and significant kind.
Press-Perhaps never before was
such a profit sharing scheme tried,
even on a small scale as the Ford
Motor company announced 1t would
put into effect Immediately. This high
stimulation might very easily revolu-
tionize the automobile industry and
perhaps many others as web.

some one who enjoys music. preferably to
a shut-in. / myself am i'll great deal of

is not asking too much il ! could get a
piano some one wants taken care Of. |
would also like to say that | would be glad
to pay the transportation charges on the
graphophone. Mrs. j. l.. r .
This strikes me as an offer which pretty
well balances the request. | have no
uncertainty as to the prompttudc with
which application will be made for the
graphophone; | hope that some one will
display equal alacrity in offering her the
piano for the winter. at least. have her
address.
