JULIA HAD SAID SOMETHING
Sam Was Forced to Admit That His.
Better Half "Chatted About
Dem Clothes"

Courtenay Dinwiddie, executive of
the following story at the meeting
of the Monday evening club. 1t belongs
to the great fund of family stories of
which each home has its share.
His family had a colored woman
of the name of Julia, who did the
wash, according to Mr.. Dinwiddie,
her husband transporting the clothes
to and from home. One night he start
ed with a big bundle of freshly washed
clothing. 1t had been raining and
there were puddles along the street.
The unfortunate nan slipped, the
bundle hit the street, opened up, and
it's contents went into a mud puddle.
Needless to say, he couldn't deliver
the wash, and he hated to take 1t
back home. But he was forced to.
"face the music"
A week later the colOred man
showed up at the Dinwiddie home
with the clothes spick and span. The
family, of cou. :. had found out what
had delayed their wash and were pre-
pared for Sam.
That worthy, however, did not say
a word about his mishap.
"Sam," asked a member of the fam
lily, "didn't Julia have anything to say
about the clothes when you had to
take them back?"
Sam grinned.
"Julia-she done chatted quite a
while about dem Clothes" he said

aBIG BUSINESS" WILL LOOK SMALL
IN 20 YEARS, ASSERTS FORD
Automobile Magnate Believes Invest
ment for Profit Is "Bad Business"
Rv Tnt4rnational News Service

Detroit, March 22.-Within twenty
years industry will have grown to
such vast proportions that "big bust
ness of today will be small in COM
p~arison, according to opinion express
ed by Henry Ford in a review of con-
ditions and a prophecy for the future.
Ford is an optimist. But he be-
lieves that investment in a concern
merely for the sake of profits is dad
business" Outside capital, Ford de-
clared, interferes with industrial pro-
gress. Money paid out in dividends, he
believes, should go back into the bust
ness to improve and expand it.
A manufacturer should run his
business just as he runs his home,
the famous motor car maker said.
Ford thinks that within five years
or so most of the railways will be
electrified. He revealed that he in
tends to construct a model highway
paralleling the Toledo e Ironton Rail
road, which he bought several years
ago.
Within twenty years industry will
be so magnified that the big business
of today will be small in comparison,
was Ford's answer to the question,
what is industry coming to-"
Continuing Ford said:
Industry is coming to big business.
Not big business as we now know it
BIG business is what 1 mean. We
have, within four miles of where you
are sitting a plant which is a big
plant when compared to other manu-
featuring plants of today. 1t employs
more than 10000 men. This big plant
is our blast furnaces where we use
just three things in the raw-coal,
ore and wood. From those three fun
damentals we produce a multitude of
products.
"People look at the plant and say:
What a big placei' 1t is-today. 1t
won't be twenty years from today. In
dustry twenty years from O will be
a big business that takes materials in
the raw and turns them into a fin
customer a pay. There will be an
elimination of the various profits OF
the various middlemen. Those profits
cannot remain because they are I'M
natural profits. They are the profits
of the people who do not create. TIC
be entitled to a profit a mar must Gre
ate or must serve some indispensable
need in the process of production and
distribution.
but, to succeed, big business must
first gain the confidence of the pub
lie.
There is a difference marked
difference-between big business and
a trust. A trust is a speculative in.
dustry that sets out to monopolize
trade. 1t monopolizes trade by de.
stroying competition and, after com
petition is destroyed it advances prices
over a controlled field.

FREDERICK COUNTY
JAIL EMPTY AGAIN
Too Much Work to Be Done to Al

officials Say.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va. July 27.-The
Frederick county jail here is empty,
again, the last prisoner incarcerated
therein having been turned loose a,
day or two ago. This satisfactory
condition of the public behavior is
said by police authorities to be due
to the fact that virtually every one.
who is willing to work has plenty
of it on. hand and has no time at
present TO get into trouble.
Another factor which has made the
Jail a useless place for the time being
is that minor offenders have the
money with which to pay their fines
and consequently escape a Jail sem
tence for their infractions of the
law.
1t is expected, however. there will
be a digging in" late in the fall and
early winter. Records show the Jail
population to be considerably larger
during the winter months than in
the summer time. The county super
visors recently directed the sheriff to
have a new heating system installed
before cold weather sets in, and
other improvements and renovations
