 SEVEN DOLLARS

DETROIT, July 1I.-(P)-Employ- ees of Henry Ford are now wearing the smile that won't come off," It is being consistently rumored that Ford will soon raise his minimum wage scale to seven dollars per day. A few years ago Ford startled the in dustrial world by establishing mini mum wage of five dollars day in his automobile factory.

 The Ford family is now buying all the outlying stock in the Ford indus trial enterprises, including both the Ford Motor company and the new Fordson tractor company. It is the intention of Henry Ford to have the companies owned exclusively by members of his family.

 SUDDEN DEATH

SEATTLE. July 11.-(P)-Govern ment agents are. now Investigating the sudden death of F. A. Dowsey, SC cret service officer, which occur. red here on May 2. The investiga. tion is being conducted at the re- quest of the coroner who fears foul play was connected with the death of Dowsey. Notwithstanding the fact that the coroner's jury brot in a verdict of death by apoplexy, the coroner himself was not thOroly satis. fled and asked the secret service to investigate closely into the case.
