Henry Ford Continues His Philanthropic Desire
 To Employ A Million Men

of nuts and bolts and another to screws.
 "It is common thing for one of the workers in these factories to say what time he wants to lay off for a day or so to dig his potatoes and harvest his wheat. We always let them off and are glad to do it. because, contrary to the common belief, our nen do not spend their lives doing the same thing. We are constantly shifting them about so that each man knows how to do many things. It is, therefore, no trouble to let any body off at any time because we have plenty of men train ed to take his place."
 Do you believe other manufactur- CTS would be willing to let their men off to dig potatoes % I asked MT. Ford.
 "Oh, the ones would not who want to go to heaven by themselves" he raplied. But manufacturers will soon accommo odate themselves to the new idea.
 The farmers day is just about to dawn. Farmers, in the very near future, will live in villages and have homes in which will be all the mod ern comforts and convenienceS. The old isolated life, with a farm house here and another one away off down There Is no longer any reason why each family should live on their own farm. So long as a farmer has an automobile whae difference does II his farm? It Is only a pleasant lit tie ride to go 20 miles. Another thing the modern farm CT will do if he has even d creek on his farm-he will dam it, put in a water wheel and get enough power perhaps to light and heat his house, cook his food and operate as feed grinders and other machinery gro get back to Muscle Shoals. I am not interested in it because want to make money. I am interested in it only because I want a chance to work. I want to show the south and the whole country, for that matter, what can be done with one of the many water powers that are now go-
 ing waste"

For the first time In several weeks,
the Public Employment Bureau to-
day was able to refer as many as IT
men to possible positions. While

were placed. or given permanent

ROYAL MARRIAGE
SOON TO PASS
Inside Story of Motives Be,
hind Romances of Prince
And Princess
BY MILTON BRoNNER.

LONDON-Loveless marriages.
hatched by, groups OF wizened dip
lomats behind the barred doors OF
council chambers, are gone forever
so far as British royalty is con-
cerned.
That's the only conclusion to be
drawn from the inside story Of two
royal romances which have set
England agog.
The latest to become public is
that OF the Prince of Wales and
Lady Rachel Cavendish, daughter
OF the Duke Of Devonshire. Their
engagement will be announced as
soon as the Prince gets back from
India, 1t is unohicially reported.
The other is that of Princess
Mary, only daughter OF King
George and Queen Mary, and Wis
count Lascelles. Their engagement
already has been officially an
nounced.
Both romances have these points
in common:
Iuel re love udlcneS.
In both cases, the mate picked
by a member OF the royal family is
Briton-and wealthy.
Both Lady Rachel and Lascelles
are OF rank far beneath that which
a scion OF the royal family former
ly has expected to marry.
What does that mean?
Just this-that the British reign
ing family doesn't dare marry its
children to the offspring OF decad
ent royal families abroad who may
by chance, sometime be enemies OF
Britain.
A diplomatic marriage OF the old
type made a British princess the
