Henry Ford is in town.

Henry Ford is in town.
The man who cluttered up the
world with millions of little Henrys
and Lizzies is here to referee the
Speedway race.

tive as a Senate investigating wit
ness; on others the ancient Egyptian
sphinx is a gossi ping old chatterbox
alongside of him.
On such subjects as Muscle Shoals,
President Coolidge, politics and re-
igion he is mute. Ile will not give
an anxiously awaiting word the
slightest idea as to what changes, if
any. will be made in the 1925 edi-
ton of f1ivvers.
Not Reticent
But turning to his plans for the
race Friday and to the motor in
dustry in general he is not in the
least reticent.
Ford announced in a most matter
Of fact way that he was going to
walk around the Speedway track
this afternoon.
Walk around? Why Mr.. Ford it
is two and one-ha1f miles around"
one CT his party said in a surprised
way.
Il know it. and I am going to walk
around" Ford answered. Apparent
ly he believes that if he referees the
race he ought to know every brick in
the track by its first name.
Is Optimistic
Modern devices have eliminated
practically all inaccuracy in the
American motor industry" he de-
clared. THE development of gauges
which measure to the nnillionth part
of an inch have done this" He was
optimistic as to the future Of the
industry.
Ford was accompanied by his son,
Edsel B. Ford; William Mitchell Of
Detroit, George Liebold, his private
secretary, and several other at-
taches.
He arrived in a private car, which
was parked on a sidetrack near the
Prest-O-Lite plant this morning.
