Rev. w. J. Sims Center of Marriage Mix-up, Out of Which Fred ArnistcaG Emerges With Brid e After Agonlzing Hunt

At two thirty-five' yesterday morn ing. there were but five persons awake in Phoenix-apparently those five performed one os the most interesting little ceremonies-but the story:
 The presence of Rev. w. J. Sims in the lobby of the Adams hotel, at a scandalously late hour, was eX- plained to MT. Kewpie Mitchell and Mir. George Crowder, the only wide awake chaps in the burg, and after few minutes conversation, it de- veloped that two witnesses were needed for marriage ceremony that the doctor had been retained to per form. In mistaking the hotel, the minister discovered. the witnesses. Af- ter reflecting upon the subject for some time, the three came to the conclusion that MT. Armistead, who had secured the license the day be- fore, might be waiting in an agonized manner over at the Commercial hotel. So the party proceeded thither. iitb Al iIllSttdu Ol AdSd and Miss Dura Jane Springer of Ala : meda were determined to be we'd Miss Springer was coming on the Southern Pacific train. and Armis- tead had proceeded to Maricopa to meet his bride.

 So, finally, in the presence of just the two Showmen, who happened to 1 be telling each other what good ac- tors the other was in a moment of relaxation in the lobby. Dr. Sims pro- nounced the couple man and wife. Now, Crowder proceeds to tell the story:
 l T had never seen a wedding ex- cept in moving pictures And that wedding was a movie ceremony all right. MT. Armistead was naturally nervous-I would have been so under | the same circumstances-and he lost l the ring.

Great Detroit Motor Gar Manufacturer Breaks h. to Public Print With Unique Ideas on Labor Conditions

It is a fact significant of the mira dustry that the most prominent fig ure today in the United States gov ernments efforts to reconcile capital and labor should be a motor car manufacturer. That man is Henry Ford of Detroit. And the testimony which he recently gave to the Federal Industrial Commission. was easily the most impressing and convincing that has ever been offered. A burst of applause swept through the alder manic chamber in the old New York city hall when Mr Ford. testifying said quietly: We will guarantee to take every man out of Sing Sing and make man of him
 In explaining the purposes and the actual results of the stupendous Ford Profit Sharing Plan, MT Ford said: If employers of labor have il genu- inc interest in the improvement of the condition of labor. no conditions that are irllsome or distasteful will be laid upon the men, This is even more to the point. We cannot ex- pect man to give us his best ef- forts when he is in debt and has not enough to keep his family on.'
 IL is interesting to see how that estimate of the increased efficiency between 15 and 20 per cent, is born out in the production of Ford cars Last year the Ford Motor company manufactured and delivered 294,34s cars. This year. between Aug ust 1st, 1914. and August lst 1s15, 300.000 F'ords will be manufactured and sold at retail. and, that accomp- lished, Ford purchasers will share in Ford profits. To reach the 300, 900 mark means an increase of about 20 per cent over last years production. Ford production for August. Septem- Der. October and November showed an increase of just about 100 per cent over the corresponding period of last year. In other words. the Ford schedule for fulfillment of the 300. 900 production has a margin of nearly so per cent. Also. it is clear that Ford efficiency one year of the profit sharing plan-has in- creased between l. and 20 per cent. as Mir. Ford conservatively stated to the Federal Industrial Commission.
