FORD'S NET PROFIT
IS SIS ON EACH CAR
Net Addition to Surplus Shows $13
Received From Parts and
50 Miscellaneous.

DETROIT, May 10.-Ford balance
sheet indicates gross profits for
twelve months to February 28, 1923,
Of between 131,000,0o0 and $780,.
100000. Minimum estimate combines
the net addition to surplus Of $119,-
298.S62, with the increase in deprecia-
tion reserves of $12.0O0.000. Other
items charged off in q company of
this size could easily run to 100000
600, although valuations are on such
conservative basis that it would
seem that little is charged out ex-
cept depreciation and amortization.
The s119.29s,s62 net gain of Ford
Motor Company between February
from output of 1.376,015 cars and
trucks in domestic plants 1919 cars
and trucks in foreign plants. and ST.
1877 tractors. This aggregate output,
l.533,611 vehicles. was the greatest
for any twelve months in the COM
pany's history. Output in March and
April will make the twelve months
ended April 30, 1928, exceed it by
so, 600.
The s119,29s,S62 increase in surplus,
while not an exact key to operating
profits, checks fairly closely with re-
suits for 1922. when manufacturing
profits car were approximately $55.
On basis of 1,533,611 units in the
twelve months ended February 28,
1923, gross profit a unit is SIT. Profit

RENT FOR SCOTCH HOMES
Stately Houses in Demand as
Grouse Season opens.

London.-Hundreds of thousands O
acres of Scottish moors and score.
of the most stately Scottish homes
have been rented at fabulous prices by
wealthy Americans and Britishers fol
the forthcoming grouse shooting sea,
son, in which King George will par.
ticipate.
Bernard Baruch and G. II. Mackay
OF New York are among the wealthy
Americans who have rented estates
and are entertaining large house par
ties for the season. Bernard Baruch
has rented the magnificent Fetteresso,
In County Kincardine, while Mackay
has taken Castle Grant, with 10000
acres of broad Scottish moors.
They have taken over these famous
old houses complete for two or three
months, with all their staffs and fur
niture, lock, stock and barrel.
Many members of parliament have
also taken "shootings" and agents re-
port that nearly all the best estates
have been taken at good rents.
Prices for the season are higher
last year, according to the agents.
They attribute this to the high cost
of labor and upkeep during the empty
season. Rents are being mainly
based at the rate of IS per brace Of
grouse and $3.50 a stag, with the cost
Of the house in addition.
Some of the smaller 'shootings' can
be had for $500 a month. but, as a
whole, Scotland is divided into large
and the cost Of these runs into
something over five figures.
This is likely to be a good season
or game, gamekeepers report. The
breeding season has been good and
from all parts indicate that
are plenty of pheasants, black
and snipe.
-Four large estates are still with
tut shooting season tenants, among
hem being the famous Thurso castle,
or which $4,000 is being asked. King
George has often stayed at Thurso
or the seaso and has made some Of
is most famous bags there.
