To the report that Laurence Den

Nicaragua, has resigned for the
stated reason that without social
prestige there is no real promotion

state department makes no comment.
1t will not accept his resignation un-
til he has been given confidential
talk. There is much anxiety lest
Dennis, long marooned in Central
America, talk freely to Sen. Borah

! cares and persistent efforts OF the
! strange woman in stateroom -, ana
! now the questions of the young man
who had appeared TO be so charming.
This journey didn't promise to be as
simple as she had imagined
But the book Miss Julia Deane had
| forgotten it for the moment. and just
as she drew it from beneath her cloak,
where she had concealed it on rising
from her steamer chair, the Dugie
sounded for dinner. She would he late
and allow Mr.. Marriott to think she
was avoiding him that she was afraid
OF hint Rising she thrust the volume
beneath the pillow in her berth and
dressed hurriedly.
AT dinner, however. the young man
merely bowed and addressed a casual
remark or two to her. confining his
conversation almost wholly to the el.
dery English lady at his left, and
when the meal was concluded Miss
Deane returned at once to her state
room.
"'The Lure of Gold" was where she
had left it and locking her door. she
opened it with eager curiosity at the
first chapter. She turned the page
with q puzzled froWn and her beWil-
derment increased as she read on while
the occasional foot steps of prone
naders passed on the deck just outside.
The scene depicted appeared to be
that of n domestic hrawl in high soci-
ely az imagined by English writer's OF
the penny dreadful' type, and Julia
Deane read the impaSsioned phrases
with conscientious care, as she had
been enjoined by the books donor.
"Give me what you are hiding. or
YOU will never leave this room Lord
Erskne thundered~ ~, reaching for the
letter. Your father will not long be

Take the letter. but my door will
be closed to YOU henceforth, my lord"
the proud beauty declared and after
he had left her she unfastened her
hair and glanced at the clock. 1t was
midnight.
Vulnerable trash, Surely Mrs. Car
lin would not have thought . . .
But was there something wrong with
the lights there in her stateroom?
Some of the print seemed blacker than
the rest: parts Of phrases, then single
words at a time and, in one instance.
half a word which would in itself be
complete in another tense. The darker
print, too. was a tritle irregular, as
though the letters had been retraced.
Julia Deane sprang from her seat
and held the book closely under the
light. Those printed letters had been
retraced. gone over with a fine pen
and a sable fluid like India ink! None
had been so marked except in the two
paragraphs which she had just read,
and she finished the chapter and wen;

admonition, when you've had enough
of it, throw it out OF the portfolio"

eyed until long after eight bells on
the previous night. And now, as she
returned from her salt water plunge
and slipped her early tea, she felt IN
clined to look upon the proceedings
of the afternoon and evening as mere
imaginative nonsense.
Mr.. Marriott had been merely
curious about young girl travelling
alone and courteously anxious to be
of service. Mrs. Carlin was eccentric
and sensational, as her choice or
literature proved, but surely that book
had not been marked! That mes

but one phrase of it quite incompre-
hcnsible. As to her neighbor's warn
ing against the young Canadian, and
suggestion of "danger"-Wel, that
must have been nonsense too! Per
haps the poor woman in the next
stateroom was more than eccentric;
perhaps she was a little deranged
Yet the notion Of mistaken identity

Deane took her accustomed place on

Parts Makers Interested.

Parts manufacturers, tire makers,
dealers and other manufacturers find
the drop in Ford sales and production
In this general territory a subject OF
wide discussion. Ii is Il certainty that
the Ford plants cannot have turned
out far greater volume Of cars than
Chevrolet. Ford before has performed
what was declared TO be impossible.
The trade expects some strike from
the great manufacturer and is wonder
Ing whether the present slump in pro
duction which was SO much in evidence
In January is merely due to continue
until tho psychological moment for a
coupe arrives
Men in the Ford plant, especially
some of the minor executives. are
frankly worried They tell friends
that on many days all they do is re
port and so home. Parts makers and
tire manufacturers are anxious. The
entire automobile manufacturing sec
ton is alive with rumors that a. de
cided difference as to policies exists
between Henry Ford and Edsel Ford.
This, of course, is not subject to CON
f1rmation in view of the well known
dislike of either member of the family
to make public even small items of in
formation as to the Ford Co.
Tn Control of Two Men.
The company is entirely in control
of the two men. 1t is not listed on
any exchange. which makes obliga-
tory the announcement of production
or earnings. These, therefore, must
be estimated, but this can be done
with considerable accuracy in the
case of production by releases TO parts
manufacturers, railroad shipments,
registration of Ford cars in certain
l. a xs,.&c- 1ln4~ ,nf
men known to be at work.
An investment banker of Detroit,
on the other hand, explained the sit
uation to the writer as he sees it, as
follows: Henry Ford rs a very rich
man. His cash reserves are estimated
to be around $500, 900, 900. He is a
very determined man, and it is this
pertinacity which has helped make
his great success / believe he would
rather make less money and fewer
cars and do it his own way. accord
ing to his own ideas, than to follow
the procession He is said to have
always regarded indiscriminate Install
ment selling as dangerous"
Awaiting New Turn.
This view is confirmed by other
business men not in the automobile
business, who think Ford is waiting
for some turn in the affairs OF the
country which may tend to restore
former conditions and produce a sit
uation where more cash sales may be
contaminated and where a price cut
admittedly within the power of the
Ford Co.-would be more effective.
The byproducts turned out by the
Ford Co. alone give 1t an advantage
which it is almost impossible for
others to nullify. Ford supplies De-

Management

ARRANGEMENT is of first i'm
NV portance. 1t is the genius and
the guiding power. The policies of an
organization as laid down by the men in
control are regarded as the foundation
of all successful business enterprises.
The strength of an organization can
be readily estimated by the integrity and
responsibility of its management.
In looking over the officials and d.
rectors of company it is not difficult
to determine their standing in the business
world. A company is especially secure
if its management has been successfully
guiding the destinies of business interests
uninterruptedly year in and year out. 1t
is then safe to say that such men have
been responsible for such institutions
