F0RD'S RACIAL TOLERANCE

One Of the interesting characteristics of Henry
Ford is his ability keep learning. When he
idea in the citing he welcomes it, examines it
and unashamcdly adopts it. if he finds it good An
apparent righa ahout-face any subject does
barrass him, he is convinced the position is
the correct for him.
The latest evidence of this trait is Ford's disa-
vowal and retraction of the Dearborn Independents
attacks the Jewish Mr.. Ford says that other
activities took much OF his time that he did give
his personal attention to the articles in that paper
and that his recent study of them has shocked him.
1t is an odd situation The Dearborn Independent
has always been sold Ford's paper and the
public that has bought and read has believed it
reading Ford's opinions Whether not they
were his opinions, he regrets them and the pos
sibe unhappine3s and disadvantage they have cost
anybody. He to have gone in for racial toler-
an1e quite thoroughly
If every Ford driver who holds any preju-
dice against the Jewish race would follow Ford's ex-
ample, this country would make an immediate great
ad-ance in racial tolerance and fairness.

kinds of insults at Gypsy, the new
wife, and she, with her friends make
life most miserable for the girl.
tGypsy's catchy slang, her fiery dis
position and her ability to tell her
rival what she thinks of her, are the
n1irth-provoking elements of the
play. All of the characters are hui
