FORD PLANNING TO MAKE
AUTOS PARTLY OF COTTON
Tells Roger Babson He Is Testing
Amazing Process to Produce
Lighter Machines.

NEW YORK. December 26.-The
New York Times prints the following
dispatch from Bosten:, Roger Babson,
tAck from visit with Henry Ford
at the latter's laboratories. asserts
that he saw Ford at work on a proc
ess for the making of automobile
bodies out of composition consisting
mainly of cotton. Babson says he
saw a mound of d sticky. putty-like
substance in the Detroit experimental
establishment.
What is that stuff?' he says he
asked Ford.
THAT is mixture of formaldehyde.
glue and cotton. was the reply.
"And what are you Intending to do
with it?
Automobiles was the answer
1T is Ford's purpose to make a
lighter and a cheaper automobile, -
Mri Babson asserted. so he goes to
cotton. He works out mixture for
cottonoid. durable. tough. long
wearing material If he is success
full. he will in time block out auto
mobiles much after the manner that
a cook stamps out doughnuts. He
believes his ideas will result in a
greater revolution of the automobile
industry than has the fiivver.
The Statistician says Mr.. Ford dis
closed to him the belief that the day
of heavy automobiles is about over.
His complaint is that an engine is
forced 10 carry at all times a great
superf1uous load. a constant waste
II was in Detroit at Thanksgiving
time said MIR. Babson. Before din
ner was served. Ford said to his
wife:
i" Remember seventeen years ago.
when you and I trambed the streets
TO get a chicken for our Thanksgiv-
ing dinner and not a store would
trust us?'
'.And after a moment he continued,
and l paid the United States govern
ment $76.OO0.O00 in taxes last year :"
Ford wouldn't be surprised, he is
quoted as saying. if people lived in
cottonoid houses. rode in cottonoid
trains and worked in cottonoid shops
seventeen years from now.
Every one thinks Ford wants
Nussel Shoals to produce fertilizer
says Babson. 1T is my opinion that
he wants il to turn out constituents
for the making of aluminium for GER
tain parts of automobiles"

CELEBRATION OF HOLIDAY
ORDERLY, POLICE REPORT
Great Contrast to Christmas Eve
Condition Before the Advent
of Prohibition.

Inspector sullivan. acting superln-
tendent of police. on duty this morn
ing. was pleased with reports from
the several captains showing the hoil
day celebration to have passed on
quietly. Older officials of the de-
partment recalled the difference be-
tween conditions saturday nlght ana
yesterday and similar periods during
the time the indiScriminate sale VI
liquor was permitted.
1t was not an unusual thing ror all
police stations to he crowded CHRIST
mas eve. they stated. and even then
the reports failed to indicate the
amount of drunkenness during the
holiday season. Years ago there was
no law against drunkenness. II is
stated and only the more fragrant
cases were handled by the police.
"DrunkS We're merely locked up
until sober police captain re-
marked. "and on many occasions A
single cell held several intoxicated
persons.
Drunkenness was made an OfenSe
under the provisions of the dry law,
however, and it is believed very few
intoxicated persons escaped the vigi-
lance of the police.
During the eight hours ended
at o'clock this morning the police
made 4 total of PA arrests. Victims
of John Barleycorn" arrested for in
toxication numbered sixtf-seyen. Two
persons were arrested for driving au-

CRISIS IN FIGHT FOR FREE
INDIA BELIEVED AT HAND
Message From America Express
ing Sympathy Will Be Posted
Throughout the Country.

The crisis in the fight of the ma
tionalists in India against British rule
will probably be reached with the at
tempted meeting today of the all
India congress at Ahmedabad. In
giving this opinion last night Sai1en-
dra n. Chose. director of the Ameri-
can commission to promote self-gov
ernment in India, declared the meet
ing will take place despite the nu-
merouS arrests of nationalist leaders
within the past week. OF the mem-
bers OF the executive committee still
at liberty. he said. more than 10 per
cent have been instructed by thtir
constituents to vote for Il declaration
of independence for India.
Mr.. Chose made public last night Il
Christmas message signed by num-
her of American officials and publi- :
cists extending sympathy to the peo-
pie of India and pledginG American
support to the nationalist campaign.
The message Mr.. Chose said would
appear throughout India today on
posters.
THE United States of America has
never failed to extend sympathy and
support TO all peoples who were
struggling for freedom the mes
,ge said.
a short time ago our Army re-
turned from overseas after having
brought victory to the allied cause.
Our entrance into the great struggle
was predicated upon the principle
that the just powers of government
are derived from the consent of the
governed and our aid was accepted
by the allies upon the theory that at
the close of the war peoples every
where should be permitted to dieter
mine for themselves that character
of government under which they shall
hive. Our right not only to sympa-
thize with the people of India and
Ireland and Egypt who are struggling
for the right of ton
but to give them active support is
conceded by the promises of our as
sociates in the great war and sealed
by the blood of our soldiers.
Accordingly we sent our sympathy
to the people of India, and our as
surance that We will do all We may
to promote the success of their strug-
gle"
Among the names signed to the
message We're: Senators David |.

APPEALS TO PARISHIoNERS.
Bishop Browne Urges Public Meet
ings to Force Treaty Acceptance.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CLOYNE, Ireland. December 25.-In
all the churches of the forty-seven
parishes of the diocese of Cloyne a
letter from Bishop Browne was read
Today. recommending that public
meetings be held as soon as possible
by those approving the peace treaty
with Great Britain. The purpose of
these meetings. the letter said, should
he to indorse acceptance OF the treaty
and demand that the representatives
IN the dali eireann obey their con-
StltuentS mandate.
You know it is contrary to my
principles and practice to introduce
a mere political subject into the
cathedral pulpit he declared in his
own church. but this matter is in
the highest sense national. The peo-
pie are the source of national au-
thority and their representatives, in
the government are expected To voice
the sentiments and convictions of the
majority of their constituents, and.
by providential arrangement, the
people have been given the oppor-
tunity of expressing their views as
TO whether the treaty. which raises
Ireland to the status of free state,
shall be accepted or rejected"
The bishop analyzed the treaty and
lad stress on the powers it gives TO
the Irish people. He then discussed
the alternative to acceptance, saying:
Are we to go back to the hideous
conditions of the past two or three
y.ars-to the tyranny. bondage and
slavery which our forefathers suffered
or become Il free state with our
own parliament. invested with fun
powers to rule ireland for Ireland $
welfare. 1t is for the people 10
choose"
In his opinion 95 per cent of the
people of Queenstown favored ratif-
cation and he said also that Ireland s
friends throughout the world were
strongly for the treaty.
If there were any among the con-
gregation who did not approve of
he treaty, concluded the bishop. they
had an equal right to follow their
convictions.
