According to the motor magnate,
his revised plans for gigantic plant
in Russia are almost certain to meet
the approval of the Russian govern
ment. The first draft on his project
was rejected.
ut was all a misunderstanding on
the part of the Russian government
officials who did not quite get the
right idea from the men we sent over
to negotiate" Ford explained.
cit was probably the fault of our
representatives because it seems the
Russian government gained the i'm
preston that we wanted a slice of
Russia or something like that. AS a
matter of fact we want to help Rus
STA. We want to help all foreign
countries. / am frank to admit | am
an internationalist.
Ford smiles when asked the nature
of his experiments here this winter
with Edison.
We are working hard on an ex-
tremely difficult problem. We are
trying to make a straight line out OF
a circle. No, it is no joke, for we
are worrying many hours on it. The
Ford factories employ 800 men to
make bushings. Just think of a pro-
duction of 1000 automobiles each
day with each car requiring 16 such
bushings. 1t means really that 140,-
600 bushings are used each day. We
are working out problem of saving
a great deal by doing away with this
particular part"
Seeks Home Rubber
Referring to extensive rubber ex-
periments of Edison from which a
plant to produce hybrid rubber on
American soil is sought. Ford said
he had utmost confidence in the re-
suit of Mr.. Edison's study"
"Mr. Edison knows exactly what he
is DOING" Ford said. "He is not only
seeking to develop a rubber bearing
plant but is also finding valuable
uses for the by-prdoucts."
The secret of Ford's youthful APP
pearance, his alert step and keen eye
he attributed to his daily before
breakfast exercise.

|KAPLAN IS READY
| FOR PHIL M'GRAW
Meriden Batder Meets Detr0iter
in Waterbury Ring

Kid Kaplan, the Dempsey of Con-
necticut as a gate attraction, will try
to continue his long string Of box
office successes when he fights Phil
McGraw at the Waterbury State
Armory in the main bout of ten
rounds tomorrow night.
Kaplan holds all state records for
crowd getting and rarely fails to
pack ZEN: in. The biggest gate he
ever playedAto was at Waterbury in
August. 1925, when he defended his
featherweight title In the open air
against Babe Herman and drew a
total of nearly 100000. To be ex-
act it was s59,oSo.50. Promoter
George Mulligan who staged the
match reported that the late Tex
Richard. who was one of those at
the ringsiie, was surprised at the
figure. Richard apparently had not
estimated the true value Of kaplan
as crowd getter In his home state.
kaplal has jammed the drillsheds
and arenas everywhere in the state.
including Meriden. New Haven.
Hartford and Waterbury. The high
water indoor mark was at Hartford
where he fought Billy Petrolle be-
fore a record gallery.
1t is no wonder that Matchmaker
Tony Paollllo of New Haven again
expects the S. r. O. sign when kap-
ian bitches with McGraw tomorrow
night. Eaplan hasn't fought in Wa
terbury in almost four years. His
last showing was the occasion Of his
defense of the title against Herman
in 1925. Previous to that he had
also broken all indoor marks for at
tendance at the Waterbury State
Armory in his bouts with Cuddy De-
Marco, Bobby Garcia and Billy De-
Foe.
Kaplan will go into the McGraw
battle an outstanding favorite to win
Reports from the training base at
Hartford are that he has shipped
himself into the best shape in the
past two years and that McGraw
will have to be in equally fine ply
steal trim to withstand the attack
that the Kid will launch.
Two changes have been made in
