publicity medium and then another
He has managed to keep on the front
page of some Of the newspapers most
Of the time. This was not hard, in
view of tho fact that some 500 people
month drop off the train at Detroit
for the sole purpose of seeing Henry
Ford, and most of them are reporters.
So Henry could pick and choose.
True, not all his publicity was
favorable. For example, Hearst S
magazine ran a damaging series Of
articles panning him for his anu-Jew
activities But Henry kept sweet.
One curious feature of the Ford
boom is its scope. Ford seems strong
est in the South. where the agricul-
tural population halls his project for
making cheap fertilizer at the Gov
eminent water power dam at Muscle
Shoals.
Is Pulling Angle
Another puzzIng angle of this Ford
boom is the way Ford acquired his
reputation. He has seldom done any
thing for purely unselfish motives. a
possible exception was his Inflated
peace ship" Ford never gave away
money like Rockefeller and Carnegie
or other rich men. He has established
his reputation for charity out Of cold
blooded business transactions.
Labor is counted upon to support
Ford Yet, as a labor leader here in
Washington remarked a few days ago,
We don't know where Ford stands
and we can't find out. If he runs for
President. I don't think labor leaders
would be for him. but there isn't any
doubt about the rank and file-it IS
all for Henry"
Pays Workers Well
The only thing that Ford has done
for labor is pay his workers we'll
That made them work harder. Ford
gathered In bigger profits.
Another strange feature of Ford 3
rise in fame and fortune is ordinary
folks don't begrudge him his wealth.
Yet no man ever took more money
from the pockets Of the common peo-
pie. Ford is now manufacturing his
motors at the rate Of almost 1000,
900 machines a year. At present prices
this means that he collects from the
poorer classes of people the world
over. but mostly in America, some
thing like a billion dollars a year.
Yet nobody shouts Trust" or Mo
nopoly," at Henry.
What kind of a President would
Henry make?
Some picture him a babe in the
woods among the experienced politi
clans in Washington. A few say he
would be a genius.

NEW YORK, Feb. Mrs. Will
liam G.. Rockefeller, widow OF the
late financier, and her daughter,
Florence, were forced to flee in their
night clothes to a nearby hotel when
fire damaged three floors of their
Dadison avenue town house early to-
day.
The fire was discovered by a maid,
who aroused Mrs. Rockefeller and
her daughter and summoned aid.
The blaze caused considerable
damage before it was controlled
partly through the work of a pa
trolman summoned b va police whis-
tie, and a volunteer bucket brigade.
Costly tapestries, paintings and art
objects were endangered by flames
for a time.
Mrs. Rockefeller and her daughter
were alone in the house with three
maids. After fleeing to the base
ment to escape the heavy smoke. a
taxicab was called for them and they
departed, scantily clad and bare
footed to the hotel.
lmkThe damage was estimated at
1000. Firemen believe the flames
Etarted from defective electric wiring

At the Strand Tndax

Probably as much attention is be-
ing focused on Hope Hampton's new
First National starring vehicle. "~he
Light in the Dark" which comes 10
the Strand theatre today. as on anv
feature picture released in the past
few years.
The story. which was written by
William Dudley Pelley, is a modern
drama and modern costumes are
used. However, there is a period
sequence of the quest of the Holy
Grail, wherein the wonderful color
effects are used.
Miss Hampton plays the role Of a
poor little Vermont girl maxim. her
way alone in New York. Bessie
M~acGregor, the girl, is taken into a
home of wealth and high social
standing as a result of an automo-
bile accident. j. Warburton Ashe
makes love to her and she believes
in him. But when she learns of his
~insincerity she disappears. Ashe,
realizing the wrong he has done,
leaves for England. On a hunting
trip he finds a wonderful old goblet
which he brings back to America
with him. 1t is stolen. It finds it's
way to Bessie in a lowly tenement.
With 1t comes a strange story. real
adventure and stirring ro1. nee In
a dramatic trial a hand reaches out
and before the eyes of the judge it is
again carried off. Whether or not
it is the Holy Greil, this mysterious
