 Shadows
 A slill picture of Henry Ford is impossible. for the simple reason that there is something in him that Is never still He thinks quickly and he acts quickly, and he is always thinking and acting. His normal state seems to be that of mental agitation, and 1t is an agitation that is contagious. In his presence no one is ever entirely at his ease-at least that is true of his employees You come to feel certain of but one thing, and that is that with any work which he has to do the un- expected Is bound to happen There is about him the fascination of an unlimited uncertainty. No living be- ing knows what he Is likely to say or do next.
 The outward man reveals what Is within. The ever changing expres- sion of his face, the constant play upon 1t of lights and shadows refleeting his rapidly changing thoughts and moods. are the subject of remark on the part of those who see Mir. Ford daily.
 Photographers complain that he Is nara to get. 1ntIG hTe snap SuOls of him a-plenty. Each looks as he looks at times. But no one of them reveals him as he is. No satisfac- tory photograph of him, so far as know, has ever been taken. No life like portrait of him has ever been painted, that l have seen, and l ven- ture to say none revealing the in- ward man ever will be. There Is something in his face too elusive either for camera or brush. just as ttere is something deep within him SO complex, so contradictory, so elu- sive as to defy description. It is a face that reveals an extraordinary alertness rather than depth of thought. Poise and reposs are not present to any marked degree.
 The face of Henry Ford is the mirror of his mind One is as diffi- cult to photograph as the other. Mental snap shots there are of him in abundance, but anything approach ing a true mental portrait of him has never yet been made. Henry Ford to be known must be seen In action, not once or twice, but many times The only mental picture of him possible is moving mental picture, a series of impressions. of sketches made on the spot. reveal ing him swayed. as he Is, by various and conflicting thoughts and emo tions.
 Widely Differing Moods
 1t has been my privilege to ob- serve him in his widely differing moods, to study him under variety of circumsSanees. and to discuss with him many things. In addition to this I know many Of his execu- tives-past and present-and have talked over with them often and at length the impressions he has made on them. and in this way l have

what startled Vermonters this week. For
a long time economy has been the watch
word in the campaigns of those seeking
election to the legislature. Economy
must now be more than a watchword- 1t
must be fact. The direct tax has been
jumping by leaps and bounds and still the
state funds are not adequate to keep pace
with the expenditures. The Auditor has
issued a fair warning. The next leeisla-
ture must be selected with a guarantee to
the voters that talk about retrenchment
will be positively changed to retrench.
