During the year | had told many
business men throughout the coun-
try how Ford had apparently turn
ed last years S76,0O0,O00,0 pro-
fits into a $10,000,000 deficit by re-
ducing the prices of his products,
and as one man declared that, in
another manufacturer it would
seem an act of insanity. This is
how Ford explained it me:
In fixing the price of anything
Wa manufacture he said, I'VE also
fix price that is below cost at
the time it is made The first thing
that happens is that everybody is
thereby put on his tiptoes. The
most important effort, however, is
the enormous broadening of the
market that follows. We are driv-
en- to capacity and more today be-
cause We cut prices to less than
what was the cost a year ago. But
our prices are no longer less than
cost because we have refined our
methods of production and are al
so able to buy our raw materials
for less because we can buy in
even larger quantities. As l said,
we have reduced costs so much by
reducing selling prices that We are
making more cars and more trac-

principles could not be applied to

MANY THEATERS ARE
COLOR LIGHTED TO
PLAY ON EMOTIONS

Color lighting which has been
employed for some time to good
advantage on the theater stage Is
now being used in special way
to produce very attractive effects
In the theater and auditorium.
These effects are very noticeable
in moving picture theaters as
many of them are new and fitted
with latest equipment OF the light
ing art.
With each change on the pro-
gram the auditorium is bathed in
the tint or soft glow of light best
suited to accentuate the feeling of
the moment. The color and char
acter OF the interior decorations
thus change with the different
lighting effects, The magic of
these ever changing color har.
monies is often secured through n
system of lighting from concealed
sources with all lights operated
through DINNERS.
A series of powerful reflectors
fitted out with clear bulb electric
lamps Is built in the cove. Colored
screens, red, blue and green are
alternated over the reflectors to
produce color lighting. Every
fourth reflector in the series is
without a color screen, this being
used to give the clear white light.

ACTUAL SAFETY
IN ELECTRICITY
is BIG FACTOR

The safety which attends the use
OF electrical devices in the home is
of far more importance than either
labor saving or time saving, and
yet 1t is factor that is seldom
emphasized,
1t is a regrettable fact that dam
age by fire is not measured by the
size of the spark that starts the
conflagration, q fact that only
emphasizes the importance of
launching safety first" cam
paign in connection with the per-
Torrance of these minor household
tasks.
II household tasks can be per-
formed the easy way and the quick
way, we do not seem to care wheth-
er or not they are performed the
safe way, and accordingly we con-
tinue to carry lighted candles into
cupboards. curl hair, seal letters,
illuminate Christmas trees and
similar homely tasks in the old
fashioned way although we may
insist that our washing, ironing and
cleaning shall be done the modern
way or. in other words, the electric
way.
Placing an fashioned curling
iron over a lighted gas plate or in
the chimney Of a kerosene lamp
has been the cause of numberless
fires and at the same time has
proved to be the most unsatisfac-
tory method of hair-curling. Hence
the almost universal use of electric
curling irons in beauty parlors and
hotels, as we'll as in the home.
1t is but reasonable to expect
that in the near future insurance
premiums will be gagged by the
number of safety appliances in the
home and that underwriters will
demand that every policy holder
have in his possession at least one
electric flashlight. This would
serve to lessen if not to entirely
eliminate the number of fires
which are annually attributed to
the use of kerosene lamps and
lighted candles in the home.

So while Nurse Jane hurried
over to Aunt Lettie's, Uncle Wig

the fire had gone out. And while
Uncle Wiggily was standing thus,
with his head inside the chimney,
along came the Bob Cat, skin
ping along on the ground below.
"Ah, hal" snarled the Bob Cat.
There's Uncle Wiggily up on the

head down in that red thing from
which smoke sometimes comes. I

the bunny. He pulled his head

A grand march may start the
affair. Partners for this can be
chosen by asking the ladies to
draw torn half-heart from one
basket and the men to draw a half
heart from another basket. The
lady and gentleman whose heart
halves fit together perfectly, when
matched, are partners. When all
are paired off in this way, circle
is formed and someone strikes up
march on the piano. Whenever
the music stops all the ladies stand
still while the men move up one.
This goes on until every lady has
had a different partner; and, when
the original partner comes round
again there is grand march, with
