 The directors of the company on June 4, 1915, increased the capital stock from $2,000,0O0 to $100,O0G, 900. Of this $4S,0O0,00O was to be distri- buted among the eight shareholders as stock dividend. The remainder was to be reserved in the company $ treasury for exigencies.

HURRICANE HITS BRITISH |SLAND;
 FIFTY ARE DEAD

St. Thomas, D. W. l., Sept. Fifty lives were lost in a hurricane which struck the British West Indian island of Dominica last Monday night. The barometer fell to 29.10 and the wind reached a velocity of more than 70 miles.
 Rivers in the island rose to unpre- cedented heights and carried away bridges and culverts. Some of the streams changed their courses and swept through fields and villages, car rying away houses with their occu- pants
 The number of houses. schools, churches and other buildings wreck ed or seriously damaged exceeds 200. Many local craft were lost. The tele- phone and electric light systems suf- fered greatly as a result of the storm. The lime crop was considerably dam aged and some of the other crops were wiped out.

MILLION A WEEK IS FORD PROFIT
 FOR PAST YEAR

Detroit Sept. 1-According to its annual statement, issued yesterday, the Ford Motor Go. made a profit of $59,994,11S in the fiscal year ending July 31, or more than $1,000,0OO a week. If the company had sold 46 more cars, | it's profits would have passed the $6O,000,00O mark. As it was, it manufactured more than 5OO,- 900 automobiles, and did gross bus mess of $206,S67,347.47. Of the 49,- 87O employees of the Ford Company throughout the world, "A per cent. shared in the profits. Some of the de- tails of the report follow:

 s5a day or more ..... s6,626
 When we announced our profit sharing plan there were hundreds of manufacturers who said it couldn't be done," said Henry Ford in review ing the statement. They declared 1t wouldn't work. Our statement shows whether it has worked or not. We had a wonderful year and it will en- able us to give employment to stead fly increasing number of men.
 My ambition is to employ still more men. To do this we are putting the greater share of our profits back into the business"
 The largest contract ever made by the company was signed recently. It Is for half of the company's three year supply of tires and is for $34,- 000.000.
 When a reorganization of the Ford Motor Co. was effected on Oct. 13, 1915, it was announced that the com pany had $44,00O,0 900 in cash and had made profits exceeding $27,000.000 in the preceding 10 months. The reor- ganization was due to the withdrawal from the companye of James Couzens, the general manager and treasurer, after a disagreement with MT. Ford over his peace and preparedness views.
 It was in January, 1914, that MT. Ford announced his prof1t-sharing plan by which the company was to ] distribute $10.000,o0o annually to its

EUROPEAN war has sown the
r. seed of an American Art Re-
naissance of farreaching i'm
port.
Manufacturers in the industrial arts,
heretofore slavishly dependent upon the
Old World for ideas, motifs in design,
forced by war to rely upon their own re-
sourcefulness, have awakened to and
are proftably utilizing the undreamed
wealth of the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art.
Significant in this art industrial Re
naissance irony of fate is the Riggs col
lection of ancient arms and armor,
which came to the Museums possession
almost simultaneously with the World
War. The collections adaptability to in
dustrial design is largely the discovery

ISOLATION of ideas far-fctched,' says the
thoughtless layman, who takes MS
cravat as he does the Museum OF Art
on face value. But medieval arms and
armor. as this world-famOus collection
reveals. are the master work Of renowned
ayt artisans. What they forged in steel,
erabellished with gold, silver, emboss-
ment, tracery, etching, carving OF eX-
quisite delicacy and beauty raised their
work to ObjetS Dart, with ceramics,
enamels, bronzes, if not with paintings.
II is from the delicately engraved orna-
ments of a knights coat Of mail; the
exquisite tracery or embossed design on
sword hilt helmet, breastplate, sheath,
wheel-lock of a pistol or the blanket
covering of war charger that the
American cravat designer takes his
motif.
Bashford Dean, the Museums cura-
tor of arms and armor, was no less sur
prised than delighted when this far-see-
ing manufacturer came with sketch
artist and textile colorist intelligently
to study the collection and select his
material. Seventeen designs were made
from this collection alone. Each design
was reproduced in silk by domestic
silk mill in color combinations of rich
and varied hue. Each cravat scarf when
put upon the market-not one is to be
had now for love or money, so rapid was
their sale-carried a dainty tag with
etched facsimile of the Metropolitan

two thousand years ago found that even
