God forbid. Why Henry Ford has
scarcely read book in his life. He
doesn't know that France is a republic.
Besides. he is an anarchist"
1t will be gratifying to New England
to know that there are people west of
the Palisades of the Hudson, Just beyond
which the sun sets every night who
think and feel Just as New England does
about the threatening anarchy of West
ern ideals and about Henry Ford, the
arch anarch.
But accompanying this qualification
should be the knowledge that the rank
and file of the Western people respond
naturally to the Ford idealism. About
the poorest employment in the world IS
that Of going out to view the skies
after we have scratched out both our
eyes for spite. This is popularity known
as kidding ourselves" SO let us get
this right about Henry Ford and the

NEW ENGLAND WILL BREATHE

THAT NOT ALL THE
WEST LOVES FORD.

The West remembers that the very
best people almost succeeded in saving
the country from the ignorant rail-split-
ter. Lincoln, whom Europe loved to carl
cature as a giraffe and whom New York
venomously despised. And the West is
convinced that Messrs. Root, Lodge and
Butler have never really forgiven Lin
coin for the impossible demagoguery in
that phrase Of his. "A government Of
the people, for the people and by the peo-
pie" SO it turns to Henry Ford with re-
newed zeal after each blow which Henry

The Middle West. the great womb of

its own ideals. It breeds Missionaries be-
cause it itself is visionary Sentimental

THE BATTLING PART OF FORD is
HIS COMPOUNDED HONESTY.

He can indulge his broad humanities
to the full; he can make joke of them;
he can lose an industrial empire for
them. much to the chagrin Of his fellow
stockholders; he can advertise them
cheaply and unconventionally, or eXpen-
sively and regularly. But with all his
adventures in wonderland he remains
the sincere humanitarian.
Doubtless Ford is bit intoxicated
with the power that has come to him.

not prevent him from being dynamic
with ideas nor from dreaming great
dreams for mankind.
This is a nation of industrial barons.
But what industrial baron has ever be-
fore become a popular hero? Certainly
not Rockefeller, not Carnegie, not West
inghouse. not Schwab, nor Armour But
Henry Ford wears the nimbus of popu-
lar hero-worShip. And he wears it be-
cause he is in his heart the man of the
people. the gentle fool who lives and
feels and believes with common man.
The very things that the East laughs
at the West appla1ds.
The West likes Henry Ford because he
is illterate, because he is not versed in
the diplomacies OF Machiaveli, Beth
mann-Hollweg or Grey, because he is
stranger to hypocrisy and completely.
Scarcely less childlike and simple is
the faith of the American Workmen and
farmers Of the plains than is Ford him
self. While the sophisticated East con
graduated itself that it understood Eu-
rope and the war better than this knight
errant in his Holy Ghost and Thou
emprise. and pitied the folly of it, the
very common people of the West put a
light in the window each night for the
seataring Henry.
Is Henry Ford sincere. or is he merely
advertising himself like any vulgar,
bourgeois, newly-omnscient American
god? Let us be sincere. Henry Ford
is regarded by those who know him init
mately as being beautifully sincere and
sane, captivating in his fundamental
simplicity. modeSty and sincerity The
trouble with us is that we cannot afford
TO be quite so confoundedIy honest.

QuiXotic advertising assault upon the

Then came Nebraska. The wine of
popular applause has made the sanest

fesses to his soul and to the world that
he would accept the kingly crown if
called but thrice.
Nebraska caught the infection from
Michigan. Michigan re-catches 1t from
Nebraska. Henry Ford is to-day being

Ninety per cent of the people OF

Give the West leader. And if the West
can secure such leader from among its
skilled statesmen, it will feel good deal
safer. And Ford will not sulk in his
tent. 1t is immaterial to him personal
~. without doubt.
Let us not overlook several distinct
factors. The Ford peace mission.
launched at a time when the Allies pro-
hibited prayers for peace, won for him
the bitter antagonism of the numerous
British hyphenates in the Mississippi
Valley, and especially, along the Great
Lakes border.
At the same time the almost equally
numerous German hyphenates applaud
ed the coincidence Of his peace mission
with their prayers for peace.
All OF which was a complete surprise
to Henry in Wonderland who was UNI
conscious of hyphenate preiudices. All
these issues were far too complex for
his unsophsticated mind. Nevertheless.
the German vote is undoubtedly 10 per
cent factor in the present Ford phc-
nOmenOn.
Politicians Of both parties observe
these manifestations with alarm. Tn,
Ford evangelical movement is almos
equally disturbing to both parties. For.
if it rebukes Roosevelt and Gardner. it
rebukes also the President whose West
ern Napoleonic tour has borne such
Nazarene fruit.
The West perplexed itself by setting
Up Ford and turning down Bryan. But
Why bubble on majoritieS? Bryan
polled large vote in Nebraska with
policy opposed to that of the head of his
party.
The Bryan detection in Nebraska and
the Ford detection in Nebraska AMI
Michigan are things to regard with
alarm. even if they amount only to ro-
bust defections. The East can never.
never understand its thousand political
failures until it consents to measure the
West in its totals.

AN UNUSUAL NEW
BLOUSE

Here is pictured blouse which
contrives to be unusual merely by
means CT its odd construction. Its
designer has taken his cue from those
who have made coats this season 30
successfully by departing from all
precedent in cutting them. In this
blouse Of lace, with raised flowers in
velvet, the sleeves and back are in
one piece. 1t is lined, with white chif-
fon, and draped. collared, and cuffed
with black satin.
Very much the same effect would
result If the blouse were cut with a
regulation raglan sleeve, and the
model suggests the effectiveness Of
printed chiffons made up in this way.
The deep cuffs and drapery Of satin
will prove useful in harmonizing the
blouse with a part cuiar skirt. or they
may be Of black. whatever the colors
in the chiffon.
The blouse as pictured is worn with
a skirt OF black taffeta. It is one Of
many in which two materials are COM

blouse when the fabrics are trsmspar-
ent. A combination of plain crepe
georgette and plaid taffeta, or one OF
satin and crepe is more to be desire
than a blouse of one material, since
combinations of two or more fabrics
are characteristic Of the present s0a-
son.
A pretty import was made with q
yoke having round neck of taffeta.
This yoke was trimmed into points
over the sleeves, and In the middle of
the front and back, midway between
the points in the front, It was extend
ed into two tabs. The remainder Of the
blouse was Of georgette crepe lfid in
fine tucks where 1t was set onto thu
yoke. The tabs OF taffeta were slipped
through slashes cut in the crepe. juEt
over the bust. Their ends were point

Very deep cuffs of taffeta finished

Where one has never made the ex-

learn something about It by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is pleasant way
