the right side. To switch a bulb is
but the work of a minute or two and
means the avoidance Of both danger
and annoyance. The whole problem
is a bit reminiscent of the battered
darkie in an A. E. F. hospital, who
explained: "Ah went to ride between
two m~otahcycle lights, but it was an
army truck" 1t is to be feared that
the folks who don't carry two lights
may encounter the same kind Of trou-
bic 1t would be too bad for a motor

 BUSINESS IS FORD'S SUGGESTION

From Babson Institute. exclusively 10 the Herald. locally.
 Wellesley Hills. Mass. Dee. 9. - Last week while Henry Ford was vis- Hing the Babson Institute, he discuss cd the business situation and pre- scribed a common sense dose for Am erican business. This man whose daily ipcomes runs Into six figures, stated plainly that all this money was incidental--a by-product. His remarks created so much interest that, today, ne issued the following statement:
 The trouble with most business men," said MT. Ford, lis the fact that they so into business to make money to mako as much as they can, as quickly as they can. They have a hard time of 1t because they are try ing to get something that someone else has The principal Is wrong and even If it weren't, 1t would be pretty nard because there are so many of they trying to,.get' that the competi- ton is terrific.

plies also to the entire country. A
 nation grows as it serves. as its peo- pie give the most they can to others whether in the form of labor, material or distribution. We arc now in a per- iod when this is very important. Business Is doing it's best to come back but we must encourage 1t in coming back by holding down prices. espe- cially prices of the raw materials which go into our manufactured pro- ducts. l. have in mind coal, iron, lumber. cement, bricks, etc. It is a great mistake for manufacturers to say that they do not care what they pay as long as all other manufactur- CTS must pay the same price. We do wrong in paying higher prices simply because we can pass it along to some- one else.
 Most manufacturers" continued Mir Ford, begin at the wrong end. They ask the production department how much 1t costs to make the arti- cle, then they add selling cost and q profit. Next they call in the sales department and say, Here's the arti- cle and this is the price. go out and get it!' At Detroit we have always figured from the other end. We be- gan with human need. that we want ed to give just as much as we could

 right. 1t must give service. so I ex
 perimented and tested for II year.
 before we were sure the product wal
 as good as we could build 1t. Ther
 we began to figure out ways to make
 1t more efficiently--to give more fol the dollar.
 When sales slow up we don't drive the sales force and try to force folks to buy. we cut the price. then more of them can and do buy. When the price is cut 1t is usually cut below the cost to manufacture at the time, Then the production department has to figure out new economies. new short cuts that will deliver the same car for less money--and they've al- ways done 1t!
 The more you give people for n dollar the more there are of them who can buy The larger your production, the more you can give"
 Here we have the rule that has built up one Of the greatest commer- cial successes of our day-the organi- zation that has supplied cheap. eff cient transportation to every country round the world.
 Things are coming along very we'll" added Mir. Ford. commenting on current business recovery, and If they will only keep from jumping prices there's no reason why the inn provement can't continue. Hold down prices and raise up business
 "If the merchants and manufactur- CTS begin boosting, then costs of living will go up, wages will try to keep pace and we'll all go on another grand scramble of Getting" only to land in the ditch as we did in 1920.
 Maybe I am wrong but I believe these words demand the earnest con- sideration of every business man. We certainly do not want to repeat the experiences of 1920 and early 1921."
 In connection with this statement the Babson experts have been check ing up commodity prices and find that in 1915 prices were travelling side wise near that more or less famous 1914 level Under the steady pressure of Eur opean buying the trend turned upward in October of that year and continued to climb steadily for two years. After a brief reaction the climb started again and for another year prices scared.
 A temporary decline came on the heels of the armistice but this was by speculative orgy and prices 'skyrocketed' once more to the peak which was reached in July 1920. At this point prices were 140% above pre-war levels. What had cost $1.00 now cost $40.
 Then prices broke and we exper- fenced the most radical commodity decline in history. During the next 12 months July 1920 to July l921-prices dropped to a point but 45Go above 1914. By January of 1922 they had worked down to about i0To. Since then prices have climbed | about 209s So that the average level ;oday is 60ea above pre-war levels. If prices hold at around this level with a gradual adjustment - lower materials and higher farm is no reason why inn orovement should not continue If, however, grasping business interests ny to raise prices on the strength of increased activity, business will have mother setback.
