FORD A PRESIDENTIAL FACTOR-In a

light and testing way Henry Ford, in an interview
at Poughkepse, n. Y, a few days ago read him
sell out OF the Presidential race. NebulousIy and
indefinitely he stated They wouldn't have him
for president Just whom Mr.. Ford meant by
"Ihey' he did not explain. He lett that to the
imagination OF the nation. uBt the subject cannot
be dismissed in such an easy, offhand manner Mr..
Ford is presidential possbility-and strong
enc, When after a survey trip around the coun-
try, such an ardent Republican and trained politi-
cal observer as Louis Seibod says so--whcn aft
er a visit to the pivotal states SO staunch fol
lower OF Woodrow Wilson as Senator Pat Harri-
son says, so-it is time for politicians to sit up
and take notice When Senator Harrison and Lou
is Seibold generally far apart on all questions
as the north and south poles, agree on anything,
that thing comes pretty near being so--and they
agree that today Henry Ford has a better chance
OF being the next Democratic candidate for Pres
ident than the average politician surmses.

New Rule in Proportion

It is considered matter OF record
and proud one too, by the heads OF
the Atlanta city schools that in this
years high school enrolment, which
was unusually large, that boys should
have outnumbered the girls by several
hundred, On the average high school
records turnout the country show a
twothirds proportion OF girls. Super
intendent Sutton OF Atlanta, explains
their exceptional masculine plurality
to be due in part to the technical cours-
es offered to the boys under expert in
structors and by considerable attention
to athletic work, especially in the mat
ter OF team work which is always at
tractive to boys.

such decisions were rendered, one be-

al least one act of Congress a year and

Jority. A correction is urged by many
people and will be pressed to an issue
when this bill is introduced.

Nightingale to direct the chorus; the
young hopefuls Of the neighborhood
had listened attentively to the min

vitation to enter the fold
One day while he was preparing his
sermon, his wife and Miss Nightin-
gale came into his study. The Con-
versation soon drifted to church af-
fairs and finally settled. down to a dis
cussion of a certain bishop, Of whom
the minister is not very fond. Here
the conversation Jagged, and the min
ister's thoughts went back to his SER
mon. The two women soon dropped
the bishop and took up some of the
local characters.
In speaking of one of them, Miss
Nightingale said: HAS he got any

ooh, yes" said the minister's wife.
"he got 1t two years ago."
The minister's car caught the last
sentence, and thinking that 1t referred
to the honors that had been bestowed
on the bishop. snapped out: "Yes, but
he got 1t through a pull."-Indian-

GERMANY DESERTS
 RHINELAND AREAS
Decides to Leave Provinces to
 Own Devices

Berlin, Nov. 14.-Political leaders were discussing today the apparent decision of the central government to withdraw all federal support from the Ruhr and RhineIand provinces. leaving the territories to their own devices or to the pleasure of France and Belgium.
 The impression grew that the cabi- net ministers, state premiers and spokesmen of tho occupied regions, in their secert conference here yester- day had concluded upon the ahan- donment of federal Jurisdiction over those areas as a means of saving the rest of the country
 The fact that further support Of the Ruhr and Rhineland populations would constitute an unbearable bur- den on the Reich is believed to have influenced Germany's leaders in de- ciding to leave on the shoulders of France and Belgium all responsible ity for the fate Of the German people in occupied territory.
 There were definite and apparently authentic reports in circulation yes- terday that the government was to proclaim an autonomous Rhineland. and considerable surprise was mani fested last night when an official statement declared tho government would never sanction the proclama. ton of Rhineland republic"
 It was in this statement. issued at the conclusion Of the secret confer ence that the government explained anew the seriousness of the unem- ployment problem and of the general social and industrial conditions in the Ruhr and Rhlneland. giving the inn pression that the Reich could no longer consider itself responsible for the occupied provinces, this inference was strengthened when 1t was learned in official quarters that the govern- ment considered such revision of its policy to be the only possible course at it's disposal.

WRIGLEY LOSES SUIT
For. S3.71S.000 is Awarded to Larson Company Against Famous Chewing Gum Concern.

Chicago, Nov. 14. - The William Wrigley, Jr.. Co.,, yesterday was or dered by Charles B. Morrison, master in chancery, to pay s3,71s,o0o dam ages including interest to the l.. P. Larson Co.,, for infringement of a double mint wrapper on Wrigley's products extending over a period of about Ave years.
 The Wrigley company filed suit against tho Larson Co, in 1915. con tending that the Larson Co. was in- fringinS on the Wrigley company's rights by using a winter mint wrapper similar to double mint wrapper used by the Wrigley Go.
 The Larson Co, filed a counter claim maintaining that it's wrapper was used prior to the time the Wrig- ley wrapper was put into use.
 The Wrigley Co, which yesterday announced that three shares of stock Of no par value would be exchanged for each of the 6o0,000 shares of stock of s25 par value outstanding is understood to have had s7,000, ,000 reserve last December to meet any emergency so that sven if there were no further litigation the claim could he paid without affecting the present status of stockholders.
