FORD'S EARNINGS 81
MILLIONS

1t must make Henry Ford
dizzy when he rounds up flock
Of adding machines and figures
out what he is worth.
The Ford Motor company, in
its latest financial report, reveals
that its earnings were at least 81
million dollars during the ] z
months ended February 29.
This is equivalent to 4 per
cent interest on more than two
billion dollars - which figure
may not be far from the real
total of the Ford fortune, on the
basis of earning power.
Along this line, you do some
interesting figuring about your
self. Take your income for a
year Multiply it by 25, and
you have the amount you are
really worth. :
Income (salary, wages, etc
is to the individual what inter
est is to money in the bank or
invested in bonds.
For instance, a man able to
earn $4,000 year is in prac-
tically the same boat as the man
with fortune of 100000
earning 4 per cent interest. eek
cept that one works for his mon
ey, while the other has his mon
ey work for him.
The Ford Motor company
lists its combined assets as
worth over 500 million dollars,
compared with about 400 mil
lions two years ago.
Such a sum is beyond the
imagination Of most Of us. 1t is
tremendously large. And yet
the elder John D. Rockefeller,
according to. some estimates, has
given away nearly that much
for education, science, charity
and so on.
Rich men. like Ford and
Rockefeller and Mellon, are UNI
able to figure exactly what they
are worth. Value based on
earning power might shrink a
lot, or it might expand, if the
properties in which the fortune
is invested were liquidated -
sold.
You may have furniture that
would cost $1,000 to replace.
In selling, you might have to let
it go for $500. Or, if it were
old enough, antique collectors
might pay $4,000.
Frozen wealth and liquid
wealth are different things.
The goodwill of the Ford
Motor company is listed in its
statement at nearly FL million
dollars. But goodwill in
cludes reputation, prestige and
the value of the Ford name as
created by advertising and bust
ness methods.
Many corporations would pay
10 times Il millions to be able
to duplicate the Ford good
will for their own businesses.

FIRE-PROOF

Uncle Sam is experimenting with
Barnot fire-proofing paint. A paint
that really was fire-proof would pre-
vent nine-tenths of the fires that
take place in buildings. Discovery
of such liquid that could be manu-
featured and sold at low prices,
would save the people countless mil
lions of dollars in building costs and
fire insurance. Also it would help
conserve the forests which replace
fire losses.
Great fortunes of the last century
have been made mainly in develop
ing natural resources. The future
way will be conservation
of natural resources. Big scale
scientific economy is better than
penny-pinching.

WHAT'S GOING
ON IN THE WORLD
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secre-
tary of State Hughes is mixed into
a congressional inquiry now--the
shipping Board inquiry.
During the war America seized a
ship owned in Trieste. Trieste was
Austrian then. The peace treaty
made it Italian. Thereupon the
owners asked their ship back. Three
months before becoming secretary
Hughes was their lawyer. Later
when he was secretary, they did get
their ship for 100000 though there
was. a $4,000 American bid for
her.
When he did the law work Hugh
es didn't know he was going into the
cabinet, he says. He denies he had
anything to do with the way the
case came out.
