an exact fit for the son. They may prove little oversize in length meaning by that that the sons stride may not be quite so swift and daring, but little more deliberate, little more conservative. than the stride of the father. And l would not be sur prised If the son should find the fathers shoes a little undersize in by that that the son has more of a reasoned than an in- tuitive method of arriving at conclu- sions; that credit him with an intel Iectual breadth and balance, with a sympathy and tolerance of mind, an understanding heart. a less ruthless manner of putting down his foot. than l credit to the father. The son is composite in whom is to be found much of the fathers ability, broad humanitarian impulses. together With certain elements of strength inherited from his mother to whom MT. Ford attributes. and justly so. much of his success. So 1t may be that slight al- terations may have to be made in the fathers shoes in order to make them comfortable fit for the son, but what Is lost in length will be gained in breadth. and the area of the sole in contact with the ground will be no less in the second generation than in the first. 1 can see no reason to fear that the House of Ford will suffer at the hands of the son.
