If in connection with the rapid de-
velopment of his business Henry Ford
had pursued the common plan of re-
sorting to borrowing for the purpose
of expansion, he would now be fit
subject for the bankruptcy court. But
Ford would not resort to the common
method. He was content to pay as he
went, and not develop until he was
able to pay. His business success has
been phenomenal, ofscourse,t and he
has never allowed himself to get into
a position where he could be pinched
That is the principal quarrel that the
money barons of Wall Street have
with him.

The shutting down of the Ford Mo-

will throw one hundred and five thou
sand men out Of employment. This
includes the men working in the fac
tories and at the various assembling
plants throughout the country. 1t is
estimated that in all more than a mil

whole or in part from the Ford activ-
tiles will be affected. Mr.. Ford says
that he is now making and selling
$500 day and that he can sell $500

any real economic justification for

PICKING IhE WINNERS.

There has been quite lot of inter
est in The Yorl,vile Enquirer's offer
OF s. for the best guess on the result
of the voting in the county election
yesterday, and number Of contest
ants sent in their guesses within the
time prescribed
OF course it is not practicable to
make an award at this late hour, be-
cause to do so would involve more
comparisons and calculations than can
be made in the time now available.
For the present there is little that
can lie done beyond the giving of the
names of the contestants with the
guess of the total vote Of each. These
names are presented below with the
suggestion that interested readers may
refer to the figures printed elsewhere
to learn which has come closest. 1t is
to be understood, however, that the
awarding of the S. depends upon the
best all around guess, of which the to-
tai vote is only a small part.

passed by the chamber OF deputies,

buy property in France without a

upon ali foreigners of whatever ma
tionality who now own real estate
here to declare their holdings within
six months or be forced to sell out.
This affects thousands of American
