FORD 5-DAY PLAN
DRAWS INTEREST
OF ECONOMISTS
Differ on Success of Two
Weekly Holidays for
Workers.

BV United Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 1.-Har-
ward University economists have
turned to Henry Ford's announce
ment Of the institution Of a five-day
week in his automobile plants as
one of the interesting recent develop
ments4in the field of economies.
While the general tendency among
the economists is to withhold final
judgment while they stand by and
practice, Prof. William Ripley, one
of the most famous economists,
pointed out that "Mr Ford is a prac-
teal man" and that IF people are
offered an incentive it stands to rea-
son they will work all the harder"
Opinions Vary
Prof. Thomas Nixon Carver be-
lieved Ford's plan impractical while
Prof. Arthur e. Monroe said the
Ford industries were not typical.
Perhaps it will work out all
right" Carver asserted. tits ulti-
mate results cannot of course be de-
termined at this time. Mr.. Ford be-
lieves that the five-day week will
have the effect Of increasing the out
put of his plant through high-pres-
sure production during the five
working days. 1t seems to me that
the effect will be just the opposite.
eff a manufacturer wishes to cut
down his output, I thinuk the in
stitution Of a five-day week would
be good way Of accomplishing it.
1t stands to reason, think, that a
workman cannot accomplish as
much in five days as in six. OF
course even at present the working
week of five and a half days is quite
general.
Sign Of Decadence
"The multiplication of holidays
always is sign of decadence in any
country. History shows this to be
true. There is current tendency, a
rather marked one, toward reducing
the time Of employment, but I can
not see how this tendency is going
to have a desirable effect on in.
dustry.
What Mr.. Ford's employees will
do with the extra time allotted them
under the f1ve-day-week plan is
another question. 1t is difficult to
strike an average and say to what
purpose this new freedom will be
put. Some workers probably will
use the new holiday to good adj
vantage. But others won't"
Is Interesting
Prof. William q. Ripley did not
care to discuss Ford's plan at
length, but admitted that it in
terested him.
You ask me whether or not 7
Ae1Dlk 1t Il PRACTICAL" he said. "Well.
Mr.. Ford Is a practical man. If
people are offered an incentive, it
stands to reason that they will work
all the harder"
Prof. Arthur E. Monroe pointed TO
the fact that the Ford industry was

that you have had the wickedness.
the colossal impertinence, to place
this matter in the hands of the po-
lice?"
Your grace the dean confided,
ION the evidence before us I might
reasonably have considered it my
duty to do SO. AS q matter of fact,
however, Ar. Goade is here unofficial
ly. We consulted him as friend of
Capt. Faulkener's. Our only desire
was that the matter might be cleared
up without undue delay and without
publicity"
The duchess was speeches.. Just
at that moment Lord Godfrey en-
tered. He was in tennis clothes and
moment, as he stared through his
monacle in surprise of these unex-
pected visitors, he bore some slight
resemblance to his father.
"Hullov' he exclaimed. why, how
are you, Miss Holloway? How are
you, dean? I wanted you for tennis,
Faulkener. What's this little gather
ing all about?"
You may we'll ask, Godfrey" his
mother said somberly. You will re-
member that it was at your solicita-
ton that we invited Miss Holloway
to spend few days with us recently"
We'll, what about it?" the young
man inquired.
"You may also remember" his
mother continued, that Miss Folio

ing lost some article of jewelry-a
pendant, l think it was?"

ly. On the other hand, they've al
ready irritated the young man, and
they're deadly afraid of upsetting
the rest of the family. You see, they
absolutely dominate society down
here, and old Followay's got three
other daughters coming on. That's
why he was SO anxious to have a
word with you. He daren't come to
us officially. He doesn't want to Of
fend the Exeters, but he does want
his emerald. There you are, Goade.
It's up to you"
Thanks" Goade remarked dryly.
Looks so easy, doesn't it?"'
HOADE spent few days in the
~ meadows and around the quiet
countryside adjoining the city. He
bought a fishing rod and took lessons
with some success. He also painted
assiduously for several afternoons.
On the fourth morning, he received a
budget Of communications by post.
He went through them, whistling
softly to himself. Presently he rang
up Faulkener, who appeared without
undue delay. They strolled into the
coffee room for lunch.

stable inquired, how Is the great
work proceedtng?"
Somewhat Unexpectedly, to tell
you the truth, Goade confessed. II

interests. He attends the theater,
but he eschews musical comedy. He
is strenuous golfer an occasional

gather, no extravagances. The Duke
Of Exeter should be congratulated
He has apparently-so far as this
dossier goes-a perfect son. There
will be a perfect hereditary legislator
to follow in his footsteps"
THAT sounds all right" Faulkener
observed. Anything else?"
Goade proceeded with his lunch for
a moment.
Unfortunately" he admitted, there
does appear to be another trifling in
cident on the other side of the ledger
Without the slightest doubt, on the
