HENRY FORD'S EXAMPLE FOR
RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

4 college professor of transporta-
ton may reasonably be expected 10
be competent and impartial in his
discussion of railway problems. Leg
islative authorities have shown APP
probation of this fact in recent years
by summoning such men as Ripley Of
Harvard to inform them about the
conditions of American railways Ac-
cordingly. when H. f. Hoagland, pro-
lessor of transportation at the Uni
versity of Ohio. writes on "Ford's
Revolutionary Railroading." the puo-
lie turns a willing ear to his account
Of the automobile magnate's new
methods
Henry Ford, it has become general
ly known. in May of 1920 bought a
streak of rust $50 miles long known
as the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton rail-
road. 1t had for years gone through
bankruptcies, receiverships and reor-
carnations. Operating results in 1919
had been so discouraging that the
owners of the securities of the road
fairly tumbled over themselves to sell
cut. despite poor prices. to the then
unknown purchaser. The line runs a
most entirely through rural districts.
and was composed Of obsolete grading
and ballast. light rails and Inadequate
equipment.
Mr.. Ford has already rehabilitated
the road. More and better ballast
has been laid down, s5-pound rails
have been substituted for 56-pouni
rails, grades reduced. terminals i'm
proved, and new mileage built to ad
strategic connections to those already
existing. which are numerous and val
liable
Since Mr.. Ford became president of
the road last March the reconstruction
has become subject of thought
among railway interests. They ask
how he manages to maintain mini
mum wage of Sc far an eight-hour
day. reduce local rates 20 per cent and
run the road with an effectiveness
seldom equaled by any company"
Professor Hoagland answers:
One of President Ford's first
acts was the dismissal of all but
one Of the officials and higher-up
employees Of the old regime. Then
he turned the operation of the
road over TO men in the Ford Mo
tor company. These men had no
railway routine 10 unlearn and
they had for years been studying
the weaknesses of railroad organ
ization. They operate the road as
Mr.. Ford operates his factories.
They work for the welfare Of the
shippers and passengers, the pub
lie, the owners and the employees.
Their theory is that the users
are entitled to the best service
that is compatible with reason
able rates.
The most radical changes appear
in the relation between the president
Of the road and is employees. None
Is allowed TO work more than POS
hours a month. The eight-hour day
and the Sunday rest are the standard.
The result is that the employees are
happy in their work and Jealous IN

LOAN AGENCY FINDS
NONE DESIRING FUNDS

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 21.-Sixty
million dollars TO lend and no takers.
Such is the situation of the agricul-
tural loan agency of the war finance
corporation for the state of Ohio
When the agency had been function
ing for a month in Ohio, not an appli-
cation for funds had been filed. J. L..
Hamilton. Columbus, chairman of the
committee in charge, estimates there
is between $50,000,00 and S60,000,000
available for Ohio farmers. The
amount, he said, would depend on just
how much is wanted
According to the operation of the
war finance corporation, act, passed
by congres<, bankers make applica
tons for the loans, which in turn are
to be lent to farmer clients in need OF
money. All transactions are carried
on through the banks. When a bank
applies for loan from the fund, the
state committee either recommends or
rejects it, and in the former instance,
the application is sent on to Wash
ington with the recommendation.
Congress has appropriated $1,000
100000, for this purpose.

Vocational Glasses Teach
Clerks Retail Selling

COLUMBUS. O., Nov 21-The
curricula of schools. being conducted
over the state by the state board for
vocational education, cont; i. on the
face of them, some peculiar studies.
For instance students are taught:
How to approach a woman and gain
her interest.
How to make a woman talk.
However, the schools are teaching
retail selling, and are not fostering
class for ''flirts' as one might sup
pose.
Hundreds of persons in the leading
Ohio cities are taking advantage OF
the courses. The work is under the
direction of E L. Heusch, supervisor
of trades and industries for the vo-
cational education board.
Learn more to earn more" is the
slogan of these schools, and hun
dreds of retail clerks are taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to i'm
prove themselves by spending an
early morning hour in these classes.
The teachers are recruited from the
public schools.

Veterinarians Busy as Euer

mand Medical Attention Horses Increasing in
Wayne-Dogs Are Favorite Pet

Richmond veterinarians, according
TO their own testimony, still are able
to exist in spite of recent, widely
heralded growth in the tractor and
automobile population, which the en-
thusiastic manufacturers expected to
drive the horse into extinction as
complete as the dinosaur
While it is true that the number
of horses has decreased greatly in
the city, ana slightly in the country.

narians are more frequently called.
has kept them busily employed. and
even horses. according to most of the
evidence. are on the increase again
in Wayne county.
We have better bred animals now"
said one veterinary. explaining why
the present day veterinary enjoys
even better practice than his father,
the horse doctor, ever did. Farmers
can make more profits with three pur-
breds than with five scrubs, and they
naturally think more of their stock
and take better care of it. This means
we are consulted oftener than we
used to be.
Epidemcs Not Profitable.
Contrary to common belief, It IA
not epidemics that bring greatest
profits to the veterinary. Given his
choice, he would prefer to do away
with epidemics altogether. They
overwork him, increase his expenses
on account of a rush of business
which must be handled on time, re-
CARELESS of costs, and reduce his pro
portion of successful cases because
the disease so often gets the start
of his treatment. With no epidemics
and with farmers following preventive
measures, the veterinary sees cases
! before they have gone too far; he
has the opportunity to visit them at
his convenience, and he can give
better care to severe cases.
Perhaps few people realize how
completely the horse doctor has beer
eclipsed. Horses in fact, are a small
part of any veterinarians business
