You and I think of inventors as geniuses who suddenly are hit by a brilliant idea from out the air and forthwith patent it in workable form. We picture them as eccentric fellows who for the most part sit around wait ing for a stroke of inspiration.

Henry Ford's present plans are to celebrate the payment of the debt by declaring the new wage scale and mak- ing a still further reduction in the price of his car and tractor.
 No other capitalist ever has at tempted single handed ownership of such holdings as Ford already has. Up until last summer, of the 10000 shares of Ford stock, Henry Ford and Edsel owned 11.700. There are II other stock holders, chief among them being the Dodge brothers, once his partners, now his bitter opponents. and Mayor James Couzens of Detroit, a former assiciate.
 Ford Himself Was Only Security
 Mayor Couzens was the last to ac cede to Henry Ford's persuasion to sell, but it is understood he has agreed to part with 2.100 shares for S25,000.000.
 The loan was floated by a syndicate of Kew York bankers.
