From December to March the stats

STRIFE IN MEXICO
BY PROVIDING WORK
fRv Associated Pressl

DETROIT, July 25.-Development
Of Mexico industrially and agricultur-
ally to point where it will take its
place as one of the leading powers OF
the world is the plan of Henry Ford.
This has been learned by The Asso-
ciated Press from sources close to
the manufacturer Mr.. Ford, it was
learned, proposes to end forever the
internal strife in the southern repub-
lie by putting the people TO work,
as he expresses it, by making 1t pos
sible for the poems to obtain educa-
lions, and by devious ways eleVating
the masses in the country to the high
est possible standard.
The motor manufacturer wants to
keep the hands and minds of the
Mexican common people occupied so
they will have no time for fighting.
This, it became known, is the sub
stance of Mr. Ford's theory, one that
he hopes to carry out in the near fut-
ure by erection of a number of fac.
tories throughout the more important
states. In short, it was said. he hopes
to reveal to the people of Mexico how
they can help themselves.
First Step Soon
The first step in this program may
be taken soon with establishment OF

state of Coahuila, probably in Saltlllo

ment program Immediately upon cree
ton of the necessary factory build
: ings. Similar enterprises would be
established by Mr.. Ford in other parts
of the country if the plan is carried
out, it was intimated.
Mr. Ford is said TO believe that i
the Mexicans once are taught the val
ue of industry, better methods of az
riculture and their possibilities indi
vidually and as a nation, the advances
of the country will prove to be one
of the most notable in history.

interview given by Miss Beatrice Grim

equality and independence have never
reached them. There they do all the
heavy work and their husbands kill
them at will, sometimes eating them
afterwards.

Miss Grimshaw explained. THE pig IS

ical flowers in their brilliant variegated
colors. The villa is frescoed with brick
work and stone work on the outside.
The interior with its stone walls, some
of them beautifully frescoed, and its
lovely tile floors, is typically Italian.
