EccENrRlclrlEs OF Mr.. FORD.

Since MI. Henry Ford, of peace fame
at any price, who manufactures a lit
tie go-cart that he now supplies to
the public at $500 a go, has brought
suit against a Chicago paper for al
legged damages to reputation in the
sum of half a million dollars, we APP
proach Mr.. Ford with some degree
of trepidation-with a sort of fear and
trembling.
h latest concerning Mr..
Ford's eccentricities is that he is go
ing to run his factory twenty-four
hours of the day on six-hour shifts,
with a dollar an hour for each en-
ploye. !
Ford's profits for 1915, according to
newspaper reports, amount to fifty
million dollars, and the great man can
afford to be eccentric. We could be
eccentric on less than half such an
income4
Mr.. For!l sold in 1915, according to
the business statement of his house,
more than three hundred thousand Of
these go-carts, at $40 each. He re-
turned to the buyers aoout $50 each,
to which should be added the agents
commissions, presumably FIFTEEN per
cent. or a total Of approximately $115
a car, thus leaving Mr.. Ford a net
price Of about 1925 a cart.

That the differences between the

Mr., Johnson cannot understand why

it ought to be good for another.

they have been allowed to depart

The object is to lessen the number

unfortunately never know when they

or London, for instance, any person
can obtain stimulants without let or
hindrance, but. knowing the danger,
they drink at their own risk, and
should they appear in the streets
showing the effects Of liquor they are
taken in custody, locked up and fined.
