FIND THE WOMAN By ARTHUR soMERs IRO


CHE was only twenty, was Clancy Deane,
- pretty little country girl who had come
to New York to win fame and fortune
as film actress. And yet she almost imme-
diately became woman with past" and her
future peace, Of mind depended on the clearing
up of the murder of Morris Beiner moving
picture producer, who was killed few minutes
after Clancy had slapped his face and left his
office hurriedly.
Strangely enough Clancy became friend of
Vandervent, the wealthy young prosecuting
attorney engaged with the police in the search
for Beiner's slayer. Clancy had shaken her
assumed name of "Florine Ladue" and dis
owned her theatrical ambitions. She had
thought the past buried until Grannis recog-
nized her.
Grannis had taken Clancy to fashionable
restaurant and given her a banknote, the big
gest she ever had seen in her life, $1,000

HENRY FORD TALKS AT LAST

FROM the Dearborn Independent we clip several ex
tracts interview given by the Motor Magnate 10
reporter for the Curtis Publishing Co, in which Mr.,
Ford gives the public considerable light as TO MS
dacy for President
Mr. Ford first asked the reporter three questions ana
gave him day to prepare his They give the
view point of Mr. Ford very clearly
Here are the three questions that Henry Ford gave me-
! What do the people of the United States think
. What do they really want?
g. Exactly what is wrong with the country anyway!
Touching the of being President Mr.. Ford said:
There isn't any honor a smash-up. There isn't any
honor being stalled There isn't honor in anything
except usefulness usefulness based upon accurate
knowledge of what do and how to get it done Sup
pose elected President and didn't know what to do
what kind of honor would get out of that?"
Evidently Mr.. Ford believes in changes of the
plan AT least he does not believe that
criticism is out of place His views in the following
paragraph prove that:
Politically we not only keep all the old truck e
Ground but we make it sacred We speak in awe OF our
crime to criticize it. You can't imagine industry
thriving it considered its form of organization beyond
Mr.. Ford seems have very clear vision of Euro
pean affairs:
The United States cannot be of much assistance to
Europe in the present crisis first because OF the narrow
nationasm of Europe and second because of the mar
nationasm of the United States. However, this
wrong will be rghted just the truth becomes
generally known that the real interests of people in
r;ous parts of the earth do not conflict

'on reeds no speeial privileges and won't be perfectly

The four following paragraphs speak for themselves
clearly indicate the broad scope of Mr. Fords OBJ
servations:

OLD CRANARY BURYING
GROUND

Within the confines Of the older
(eastern) states Of this Union there
are many ancient, quaint, and hallowed
burying grounds, most Of which close
ly surround or adjoin a much-loved
chapel or meeting house. Among the
most interesting Of these Is that
precious plot Of ground known as Old
Granary Burying Ground, near the
present business center in the city Of
Boston.
The town granary once stood on this
site-hence this peculiar name. The
burying ground was established about
the year 1910.
Within this well-kept enclosure which
Is surrounded by an imposing protec-
tive fence, lie the remains of three
signers Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, nine governors, Peter Faneully
that public-spirited individual who
presented the city the famous hall
which bears his name; Paul Revere,
that patriot who, on April is, 1776
warned his country of the marching
Of the British troops towards Lexing-
ton and Concord, and other notables Of
their time
Probably the most conspicuous head
stone that graces the shaded covering
of the departed is that erected by Ben
1amin Franklin, the most important
literary man Of his day, in loving trib-
ute to the memory of his father, Jo-
siah, and his mother. Abiah.
An outstanding feature Of the plot
are a number of almost-a-century-o
elm trees which cast their shadows
over this resting place.
The epitaphs on many Of the stones
which mark these ancient graves are
quaint, indeed, and peculiar in the
light of present-day custom. An un-
usual one reads:
Here lyeth ye body of John Downing.
aged about 50 yrs. decd April ye 10, 1854
