FORD SAYS THAT JEWS ARE BACK
 OF WAR

New York, (iP)-IcnrA Ford says in copy rixlncd interview to Farm X Eircsidc that the Jews n whole good influence and because they much smarter than 'fhe boob Gcnilcs," It makes the latter "hl,sIe to keep mp."
 "The Jews Il menace on the whole they a good inauence," Mr. Ford told Andrew Wing managing Editor of the magazine. "Tl,cy are SO much than the boob Gcntilcs that 1t makes them hustle to keep up. That is where the good comes in. It serves people right if they let the Jews work them."
 Whnt Mr. Ford opposes most is "thc intrrnat ion- al Jewish money power that is every war;" which Inc says, is "the chief element in the Jewish question. because the international money power is Jewish"
 IN" matter what happens to the nations in n war. the money power always wns" the manufacturer. No without il and every war stops when it says That Is what oppose power that has country and tha, order young me" of all countries out to death.
 "Most people who talk about world peace penetrate 10 the cause Of The Pacific organi- zations and others Just dabbIing about the face. As long the international money power constitutes the invisible government of the backward nations and long as it has strong hand upon the politics of the sroa:er nationals, is mpo I ble.
 ''Thc profits of the international money power are not produced by peaceful industry, but by war; and until we dig these influences and expose them and neutralize them world peace cannot be hoped for. That tn nutshell Is the chief element fin tho Jewish question, for the ationaI money power is Jewish ''They haye ovcrplaycsl their hand, they ai. ways do. It is destined, il seems that such in- duences should always Ovcrpiay their hands at a critical moment.

Ford adds that 'the Jewish question is here and teo many people are afraid to study It." ''Neither the Jews the others benefit by con- cealmeat," he concludes.

He turned out the lamp and left
the room.
In the morning, when he could get
Dabbs alone, Ned's apologies were sin
cere. But though Ned insisted that
he had only dropped off at the end,
Claude had shrewd Idea from the
lame way In which Ned fshed for In
formation, that slumber had over
taken him in the middle of the tale.
They were in the garage where Ned
had tracked him down, and he only
laughed as he put his hand on Ned's
arm.
"My boy, was an ass TO insist on
telling you my old trouble. Boiled
down, without any of the frills put
on so that you would get my side of

up on my promise, broke my word to
Polly, and she ran away. And Peace

He had made up his mind that It
wasn't the thing to tell Ned his sus-
piclons until he had corroborated
them, or dropped them. 1t would be
awkward for the boy. since he was

Christmas, Mistletoe
the Kissing Custom

Since the Christian era, mistletoe
was dedicated to Christmas time.
With it went the custom of kissing un-
der the white-berried plant, probably
a survival of the saturnalia of pagan
rites.
But the Christian elders decided
that when the churches were decorat-
ed with mistletoe, there was too much
kissing going on during the services
and too many requests for the we'd
ding service.
So they abolished mistletoe and
hung up In its stead holly, to signify
the dark monotony and many thorns
of matrimony. But the mistletoe
stayed in the homes at Christmas, and
so did the kissing custom.
1t Is bad luck for maiden to stand
under the mistletoe and not be kissed.
1t means that she will not be married
thgt year.

der. The incident was enough to re-
lieve her of her elf-consciousness and
their conversation became more gen.
ial. They discussed everything from
poetry to politics. They had luncheon
together on the train, and dinner. At
the end of the evening when the por-
ter came to make up their berths they
said goodnight, feeling they had

and more than that-been in love for
ever.
Hilda was just the kind of girl FL
kins had been hoping to meet. 1t was
too preposterous to think of their both
living almost side by side for all these
years and never really meeting until
now.
The next morning they had break
fast together and continued to talk
for several hours-until the train
finally arrived In Denver at noon.
Some of the ladies of Boulton, who
had come into Denver to shop that
day, were rather surprised to see
young Jack Elklns and Hilda Gibbons
In a large jewelry shop looking at dia-

place in Boulton society. Not recog-
nized by the weather. families, they
were too proud to associate them
selves with either the poorest or even
the middle class of the town. Now
that Hilda had been away at big
eastern college, however, she would
probably be invited to the holiday par
ties of the wealthier set. Either ac-
cepting or declining the invitations
would be little awkward for her, she
thought, after being spurned by them
for so many years,
And there was that Jack Elklns, the
son of the richest man In Boulton.
Hilda particularly didn't care to see
him. He was the catch" of the
county, for, besides being extremely
rich, he was unusually attractive and
had the gracious manners of real
gentleman. Hilda had always had
case on Jack, and the fact that she
had never spoken to him and was sim
ply not known by him, made II all
the more intense. She used TO dream
about him when she was younger, and
plan all sorts of meetngs-happy oc-
casiOns on which she was never at
loss for a witty phrase and on which
she always completely "vamped"
young ElIins.
And all this dreaming made her the
more self-conscious. When she passed
"a OF fnr ha
would feel herself suffening all over,
and found 1t difficult even to walk nor
mally, imagining he was looking at
her. She always discovered when she
looked back, however, that he had not
really been looking at her at all, and
was quite unconcernedly smoking his
cigarette.
When the train stopped at Prince
ton Hilda felt sudden tremor come
over her. Jack was student at
Princeton and would probably be GO
ing home for Christmas. They might
be riding on the same train! Almost
unconsciously she leaned forward and
looked into the narrow panel of the
mirror to adjust her hat at the right
angle.
She had just leaned back in her
chair when the deep baritone of mas
culine voices informed her that several
young men were on the platform of
her train. The doors banged. The
train moved on and tall, welldressed
young man, preceded by porter with
a bag. passed her chair.
Here, this Is mine, isn't it?" he
asked, indicating the chair exactly
next to Hilda.
'Oh, yes, sab, yes. sah," answered
the porter and quickly disposed of the
baggage while the young man sank
into the chair.
Timldly Hilda glanced in his direc-
tion. When she caught sight of him
she couldn't suppress little nervous
cry of "ohi"
Jack Elkins turned. Hilda blushed
a deep crimson and pretended not to
sec him. Jack continued to look at
her for some seconds. evidently not
displeased with the sight, and finally
asked, Pardon, but haven't met you

"Yes. l live In Boulton." Hilda ad.
