WHY HENRY FORD WAS
FORCED TO PURCHASE
AN AUTO In Lon

The theft of Henry Ford's car in
Detroit aud the discovery that the
stolen car was a Ford, recalls an
incident in London some years ago
when Mr.. Ford bought his first Rolls
Royce. The Rolls-Royce people were
naturally much edited. They decided
there was real advertising value in
the sale. And so the London papers
came out one morning with cards
announcing that Henry Ford, the
greatest manufacturer OF automobiles
in all the world. had purchased for
his own discriminating use a Rolls
Royce.
Mr.. Ford's London manager smiled
when he saw the lad" The following

Car Loadings Less

Loading of revenue freight during
the week ended May showed loss
compared with the previous week OF
1851 cars, total loadings on that date
amounting to 755,749 cars. The de-
crease was caused by declines in the
loading of forest products. merchan-
disc and miscellaneous freight and
ore. Coal and coke loadings, despite
the continuance OF the strike, showed
increases bearing out recent forecasts
of railway officials that gains were
expected this month. The increase in
col ke loadings was 172 cars, while coal
cars loaded were 222 more than in
the preceding week. Compared by
districts increases in the total loading
of all commodities were reported in
only the eastern and central western
districts, while all reported increases
over the corresponding week last year
except the Allegheny and southwestern
districts

Foreign Investments in Russia

The State Department, according 20
"The Index published by the New
York Trust Company, has only few
figures representing the losses claimed
by Americans who made private in
vestments in Russia, but, informally,
it's officials are inclined to accept an
estimate recently made of between
s7oOoo0,0oo and $1,000, ,ooo.o 900 as being
a fairly accurate approximation Of
American private capital invested in
Russia. The most complete figures
place the corresponding French in
terest at more than ls.0o0.o00 900
francs, the bank says. while a British
estimate Of Belgium's total private in
vestment in Russia gives the amount
as about s95.0oo,0o0. Germany is
thought to have an interest in Russian
industrial enterprises amounting to
i17 100000. AS to the British interest,
no official determination has ever been
made.
