HABIT FORMATION
BY Olive Roberts.

Mothers are often heard to say,
"My children have such untidy habits.
and ] don't seem to be able to break
them. talk all day long, but it does
Mt do any good"
No mother needs to endure her
chldren's untidy habits, or any other
undesirable habits, if she goes about
training in the right way, and is will
ing to take little trouble to carry it
out. Four simple rules based on psv-
chology, may serve to give such
mothers an insight into the means OF
forming right habits. If carried ont
faithfully, these rules cannot fai! to
produce results.
First, decide for yourself what habit
you wish to form. Then start enthusi-
astically and determinedly to break
the old and launch the new one Say
to your children, beginning today,
we are all going to hang up our wraps,
and put our books and rubbers in the
proper places when we come home
from school. Let's see who remembers
every time, and doesn't have to have
Mother tell her once about it," Arouse
as much enthusiasm as you can about
the matter. Be careful that you do
not start to break and form anew too
many habit at one time. Select one
or two habits to work one, and keep at
them until you are reasonably sure
that they are we'll fixed. Then start
on another.
Second, permit no exceptions to oc-

Detroit, March 9.-Henry Ford to-

should follow along very soon.

is just passing through ought to do

Plans for his new power project

Troy, N. Y, are being whipped into

"The worst is over" said Mr.. Ford,
with the country getting back to
work and people beginning to buy, it
will not take long for the situation TO
better. OF course, it will be different
from the condition before the war.
There will be more measures of
economy in every way, but the volume
of bushes will continually grow.
"Our factories are turning out at
present about 1900 automobiles and
200 tractors each day, which is pretty
nearly the pre-war schedule, even with
the smaller number of men employed

Estimates from a reliable source
place the number of men at work in
the Highland Park Ford plant about
$4,000 men, and at the tractor plant
about 5000 men.
