Henry Ford has offered an annual
rental Of s1.5o0.000 for 100 years. was
the chief problem considered to-day at

that the Government would be able for

DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts. head of the
International Reform Bureau, got back
to Washington to-day with enough re-
forms to keep him busy all through the
present session of Congress and then
some. Returning from tour of twenty
eight States. he painted a gloomy pic
ture of what must be done about ma
tonal morals. In the opinion of DR..
Crafts there is good deal wrong with
them.
The reformer. who attracted so much
attention few months ago by backing
the movement for the Sunday blue
laws" seemed much disturbed over con-
ditions. He admitted that he had been
working as reformer for fifty-five
years and that things instead of becom-
Ing better are getting much worse.
The things to which DR.. Crafts is
now taking particular exception in
ciude:
The Arbuckle case.
Divorce.
Vampire films.
Pugilism.
