Some Too Serious
Ford remarked that people ought
to be more cheerful" They take
themselves too seriously. he thought
adding:
Generally when people are serI'
Gus they are in some sort OF trouble,
And it is usually their own fault ii
they are in trouble"
what Is your formula for sue
cess?"
"Work," said Mr.. Ford. "It'a
the only thing I know Of that will
do it. A successful man must use
his mind, his hands and his feet.
Looking back on your own sue
cessful life, what achievement, OF
what moment, gave you the biggest
thrills?"
Mr.. Ford smiled and then replied
graphically:
"The last moment. That's the
best moment for everybody.' You
feel better, too, than you did yester'
You have gained experience. Now
/ enjoy the manner in which you are
interviewing me-
Th writer thanked Mr.. Ford and
Eeturned the compliment.
What is your position on the
question of a college education?' he
was asked.
"It's ali right. Some want it,
others don't. No two people want
the same thing. People arrive at
the same goal by different routes.
If a boy has a desire for college
education he probably will get some.
thing out Of it. But, after all, it's
the stuff the boy is made Of that
counts"
What is your impression Of the
young people of today? Are they
going in too much for luxuries and
amusements?"
mo sir, they are all right, they
are alert and active and they are
going in for experience. I confess
I don't know what luxury is. If
having more things is implied,
think the viewpoint is wrong, for
what they are really getting is ex-
perience."
Mr.. Ford ventured the opinion
that we are living in a "ripened
world He said people should
take more interest in one another,
and particularly, old folks should
take more interest in the younger
people. And people over fifty are
doing just that thing, he added.
Eating and Play
''How is your health, Mr.. Ford?
Do you diet and exercise?"
"I feel fine" he replied. 'If I
don't, I know its my own fault.
When you do not feel right it is
generally because you have over
eaten or have eaten the wrong
things.
Not too much. is a safe plan.
and do not mix the three different
foods. mean fruit, protein and
starch. They should be eaten sep
arately. an all-fruit meal. an all
protein meal and so on"
DO you play golf or tennis?"
"No. when I want exercise I
run or chop wood, brisk run on
rising in the morning and just be-
fore retiring at night is a great
thing for the system. I like to
get a good workout in this way:
| can get my exercise quickly, and
Just when l want it. If ] feel bad
I stop eating and run it off"
Ford told how many of his execu'
tives had voluntarily started dieting
and found it of inestimable value
to their health and efficiency. He
said that at his boys trade training
school at Wayside, Mass, the 80
pupils have been on a diet all
winter, and not single one OF
them has been Ill a day.
Discussing Edison's experiments
with rubber plants which the fa'
nous inventor undertook for the
purpose of giving this country a
big homegrown rubber supply in
the event Of a national emergency,
Ford predicted that Edison will
find something that can be grown
all over the country"
First Came Edison
Edison himself said on Monday
that he believed that those States
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico
can grow plant rubber with profit
to the farmer "in case Of war
prices"
Ford 1auded Edison, pointing out
that his great inventions made
possible mass production" which
revolutionized industry in America.
He said that we have be- living
In the comfortable age" since 1880,
the year after Edison evolved the
electric light, the dynamo and
motor.
"I am extremely optimistic re-
garding what Mr.. Edison is doing
with rubber" said Ford. Il have
given him the use of $4,000 acres
in Georgia on which to plant rub
ber specimens. He told me today
he intended to start planting there
right away. This land is in Bryan
county 20 miles south of Savannah.
We plan to clear the timber off it.
What Mr.. Edison likes about it is
that it is virgin soil"
Ford pointed to one of his automo-
biles and remarked:
"All the things that go to make
that car and other cars possible date
back to the first electric light which
Edison invented in 1879. A similar
unit that he used to make light is
now used in the generators, the
starter and the battery. Every auto
mobile embodies a complete electric
light and power plant, which is
mScessary."
Nr. Ford was asked if he was par
ticularly interested in any one Scien-
tific experiment of the last year.
Still Experimenting
mo" he replied. az always have
been interested in automobiles. That
takes in nearly every art" he added.
