FIRM SUED BY FORD
DEMANDS DAMAGES
Graft and Bribery Are De-
MED in Action for
$780, 900.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 16.-Replying to
Charges of graft and bribery with a
complete denial and an allegation OF
dilatory payment, the John M. Blair
Construction Co., today filed a ST.
100000 damage suit against the Ford
Motor Co.
The suit was an answer to one
filed October by the Ford concern
for an undetermined amount, said
TO run into millions, in which 1t was
charged that the Blair Co. had bribed
Ford employees to accept inferior ma.
terial in seven construction projects,
allow exorbitant prices and approve
padded accounts for labor not actually
supplied. The Ford suit asked an
accounting and cancellation of the
contracts.
John NJ. Blair, president of the con-
struction company, declaring that he
had been obliged to put 100000 Of
HIS own savings into the projects be-
cause Of Ford delays in payment, as
serted, in filing his bill, that he
would suffer 100000 damage should
the contracts be cancelled. He de-
MED bribery or any Of the graft
charged. An injunction was obtained
preventing Ford from engaging any
contractor other than Blair on the
disputed works.
The Ford bill declared that $5,O75,-
213 had been paid on account for
work done here, at Somerville, Mass,
and Memphis, Tenn. and asked the
accounting to separate monies justly
due from those declared fraudulently
asked.
J. l.. BowIes and F.. G.. Brown.
supervisors for Ford of the Blair CON
tracts, were mentioned by the Ford
bill as having made large sums of
money by accepting false accounts.

The gentle waltz, now regarded as
an example Of id-Victorian modesty
and something to be included in
modern dance programs only as a
reminder of the SLOW past. shocked
Washington society with it's utter
holiness and questionable decorum
when 1t was introduced a century
ago. James F. Duhamel told the
Society Of Natives of the District Of
Columbia. at its first Fall meeting,
at the Washington Club, Friday night.
Reading from Josiah Quincy's
book, Figures Of the Past. I"
published in 1883, Mr.. Duhamel
showed that the waltz was intro
duoed here publicly by Baron Stacked
burg. who whirled through its
mazes with a. huge pair Of dragon
spurs bound to his heels" much to
the danger Of fair ladies' skirts and
hosiery. The baron, however. was
complimented for having "skillfully"
avoided serious collisions.
THE question of the decorum Of
this strange dance was distinctly
raised upon it's first appearance. >"
however. MIR. Duhamel read. and re.
monstra noes continued for 25 years.
Even aside from the question Of the
dizzy waltz compatibility with fem
inina modesty," the author of the
box termed 1t an unmitigated nui-
Sance.

Women, including farm women. are
not going to wear cotton stockings as
long as silk and rayon look better.
said Mr.. Clark in a statement issued
yesterday. There are, however," he

'Smocks are very useful and prac-

are in style. 1t would be possible to
start a movement to induce every
woman in the South Immediately to
purchase a cotton smock and thereby
stimulate a demand for cotton goods
which would help greatly at this time. I"
