FORD RICHEST MAN IN UNITED
STATES

Henry Ford begins the new year
with the greatest amount of cash in
bank that any human being ever had.
A few years ago Russell Sage, with
ten or fifteen millions in ready cash,
used to have that distinction. Two
days ago the General Motors Co. an
nounced it had in bank SAL 900, 900.
Henry Ford's bank balance today is
in excess of $121, 100000. He himself
does not know within $5,0O0,00O or
s1O,OOO,00O of how much actual cash
he has at the, moment, because he
has not taken the trouble to inquire OF
his son, Edsel, the treasurer, since the
foregoing figures were given to him
few weeks ago. "Our balance today"
said Mr.. Ford, "is probably between
$135,OO0,O 1000 and $14O,000,OO0."
Henry Ford is billionaire. In re-
ply to a question, he said that he had
no doubt that his holdings, based upon
their earnings, could be capitalized
and sold for a billion dollars. Mr..
Ford gave this information because he
was asked for it. Neither his mind
nor his conversation runs to money.
Money means less to him than to any
other rich man.
Said Mr.. Ford: "a big balance is re-
quired to keep our wheels going. We
pay wages amounting to $5OO,OOO
day, and our materials cost US $780,
600 a day. Our bank balance is
therefore sufficient to pay our oper-
ating expenses for only about lou
days. All the money that comes to
me goes into new industries. l never
invest money in bonds or anything OF
the kind. What l want is to make
this better country for all of us to
live in"

The Magic of Chemistry Which Makes Compound

No. VII
(ToId In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
WAR AND PEACE

The art of warfare is as old as the
race itself. Warfare at first consisted
of throwing stones at the enemy or
hitting him with club.
The art slowly progressed. The
catapult was used for hurling good
sized rocks and the bow and arrow
served its purpose in stand-ott COM
bats. Thus it went for many CEN
turies. Warfare consisted OF ninety
per cent hand to hand work and per-
haps ten per cent of shooting from a
distance.
Along about l345 an old monk found
that gunpowder when properly ignited,
gave vent to a pretty good sized noise.
England and France were at war and
the new invention was tried out at
the battle of Crecy with the result that
the horses became frightened at the
"noise like thunder" Losses were heavy
and gunpowder was voted 4 success.
Warfare didn't advance greatly for
centuries. To be sure many improve
ments in guns and explosives were
made but the basic principle remained
the only way to put an enemy out
OF commission was to hit him with
projectile.
On the morning of April p, 1915,
warfare was revolutioniZed when a
cloud of Chlorine gas was sent over
The Allied trenches wiping out whole
-egiments. This experiment proved
so successful that the war, opening as
did, 100 per cent explosive, ended
IS per cent chemical.
These war gases are of particular in
crest to the student of chemistry

Influenza has always been widely
mysterious in its operations. Long
ago one of our warships was off the

vanced from the shore and swept over
the vessel. All the men on deck at
the time were stricken down with the
"fiu"; and little later the remainder
Of the men and officers were attacked.
The ship was at once ordered home,
and, though many Of the cases were
complicated with pneumonia and bron-
chitis, none, luckily, proved fatal. The
patients were treated with cnchona
bark and ammonia, which was then a
recognized formula for maarial fe-
yers.
During the devastating epidemic of
"fiu," the Turks in Europe escaped be-

their turbans. The medical faculty of
Vienna officially declared that infu-
enza was largely due to the practice
Of doffing hats in the streets. In sup
port OF this contention, It was point
ed out that the great majority Of the
victims We're Of the male sex.
A traveller found influenza to be un-
usually severe in Mexico. where. as
he remarked, there Is so much hat

It may be the case, however, that
such large proportion Of males are

"Time after time since the outbreak
OF the world war, the Armenians have
made q brave attempt to cultivate their

disorder has prevented them from gather.

"After two years OF American relief

be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care OF the children we

then came the new invasion, crops were
trampled down in the fields, live stock

were driven from their homes.

Dinitrophenol was supplied to the
French High Commission as an ex-

in making dyes, including the Ameri-

interesting because it finds wide ap-
plcation in dyeing such articles as
hosiery and was one of the dyes that
Germany was confident America

learn from textile manufacturers that
American sulphur black is at least

Chlorine was the first toxic gas

it is used in the publication of water

Napthaenc was used in making our
wartime daylight signal rockets. Now
it is used in making such beautiful
dyes as indigo and orange.
From these few examples it will be
readily seen why it is SO simple a
matter to convert dye plant into a
wartime production plant and why so
many other industries are directly de-
pendent upon dyes.

That word "Pigeon- English"

To the Chinese we owe the COM
pound word, English" the
childish dialect in use at Chinese ports
between natives and American and
English traders.
The Chinese use the word pigeon
or 'pidgin" to supply the place of
English nouns unknown to them.
Those ingenious orientals call con-
cert "sng-song pidgin" and con-
versation ."talkee pidgin."
With the increasing intercourse be-
tween the Chinese and English speak
ing persons, and with the progress Of
education In China, real English Is
taking the place of the 'pidgin"
variety. But 'pigeon-English" still
survives, especially in fiction and on
