FORD SELLS
RAILROAD
Detroit, Toledo and IRON
ton Disposed of After
Many Changes Made

DETROIT, Mich. June 27.-tP1-
Successfully terminating his excur-
sion into the transportation field,
Henry Ford has sold the Detroit,
Toledo and Ironton railroad to an
undisclosed group Of investors be-
lieved to represent the Pennsylvania
railroad.
The sale was announced yesterday
by Officers OF the First National
Bank in Detroit. Ford officials had
announced Monday negotiations for
the sale Of the line to the Penn
sylvania railroad were almost COM
pIeted."
Purchased in 1920 to round out
the Ford program Of controlling
every step in production of his
motor cars. the Detroit and Toledo
and Ironton later was so renovated
under the motor magnate's admin
istration that IL became a paying
business.
Much OF its success vas attributed
TO the fact that It's business vas OBJ
tanned from other roads holding
Ford transportation contracts, but
Mr.. Ford derived a great deal of
pleasure from turning the once de-
cadent read into a profitable enter
prise. and his methods were as
startling in railroad circles al were
his i~nnovations in the motor in
dustry.
Instead OF inaugurating a policy
of economy he radically increased
expenditures for improvements. The
wage scale Of his automobile plants
were brought into cabs and round
houses. much to the dismay Of other
railroad wner who subsequently
fought him at every turn. and en-
ployees were permitted to obtain
certificates which have paid II per
cent annually.
The announcement of sale Of the
railroad did not mention the price.
Ford bought the line for $5.000.000
but in 1924 il was learned IL had
earned more than 100000 a year
over the four year period Of Ford
administration and in 1926 before
the interstate commerce commits
sion. Ford attorneys argued the rate
setting valuation Of the road should
be placed at S23. 06l ,208. The road
Is 529 miles long.

MAN GOT RID
OF BILIOUSNESS
Felt Good and Could Work
After Taking Thedford's
Black-Draught.

II have been user of Thedfords
Black-Draught for about five years,
says Mr.. j. G. Bradley of Temple,
Ga. II first started taking it for
headaches which gave me lot Of
trouble, and I found it splendid. II
seemed to cleanse the system and
ease my head very quickly.
when I would get bilious, I
seemed to feel dull, ifeless, and my
mouth tasted bad. My eyes would
burn. did not feel like doing any
thing but after taking Black
Draught few nights, I would feel
as good as new and could do my
work easily"
Last winter, when he was over
worked because of many cases OF
illness around him, Mr.. Bradley says
he made a special effort to keep
from getting sick. AS precaution.
he says that he took Thedford'S
Black-Draught regularly during an
epidemic of illness. That he sue
ceeded IN keeping well "is won
der" he asserts. Il had to stay UP
and had so much to do"
Thedford's Black-Draught is pre-
pared from medicinal herbs and
roots of highest quality.

HUSBAND TEST
IS PROPOSED BY
PSYCHOLOGISTS
City Women Laugh at Plan
to Train Mates, Prefer
Them as They Are.

Psychological tests for prospective
husbands, whereby fiancees may de-
termine whether the young men
are temperamentally fit to look
across the breakfast table day after
day without contemplating murder,
are proposed in an article in the
June issue of the Red Book.
But Indianapolis women inter
viewed will continue to fold the poor
dears to their bosoms tested or I'M
tested.
The article, written by Misses
Doris Webster and Mary Hopkins,
nationally known psycholanlystS lays
down set of questions to ask the
prospective bridegroom with posi-
tive assurance that the young wom-
an may obtain a score which will
be an index to whether the boy will
be husband or just something
more to try out the pearl handled
80 on.
Why Not Marriage Courses?
men take courses for their brains
from correspondence schools. gym
naStic lessons for their body--then
why not courses in marriage?" in
quire the glib psychologists. "a man
who has no experience as q husband
thinks he can become good one
by instinct"
But if the magazine treated man
with sulphuric acidity the comments
on the article Itself from city women
| leave him in a moraSs of frailties
Women SkepticaI
'You know the disadvantage of
being married is in having a hus-
band. Why if husbands were sent to
training schools for marriage they'd
never get married" declared Miss
Estel Marie We1ty, municipal courts
probation officer.
Skepticism was expressed by Miss
Marie Hansen, 1902 South East
street. secretary at City Manager
League headquarters, with: you
can train dogs and make them be-
have but can you train husbands
and make them behave? Then aft
er training them can you keep them
we'll trained?"
Woman, Mans Best Trainer
Judge James M. feathers, superior
court one, lists woman as mans best
trainer for marriage.
Most men are not interested in
being trained for matrimony until
it's too late. They awaken to the
problems in marriage. Success of
marriage depends more on the wom-
an than the man.
Marriage is largely an expert
me1t and no one can see the out
come. A woman can train her own
husband if she's clever and tactful
enough-and the mans a gentleman
and not a roughneck."
Matrimonial Course "SiIly"
Describing matrimonial kinder
garten for men as silly" Miss Elaine
Kelly, IS of Creencastle, steno-
grapher, says: "a school might help
if men were willing but why not
educate the woman for matrimony,
too. You can say this, that
wouldn't bar man who hadn't been
trained"
I'm an old maid but the best
training I could find for a prospec-
tive husband would be to see him
tour an eighteen-hole course with
out swearing. That's self control"
declared Miss Elizabeth j. Dunn,
women's city golf champion.

'.. Thursday.
Rose Buzza was very blue all day and cried
some in the afternoon. Said life was very cruel
and the only thing she had to live for was the
money Donati was getting from the gas COM
pany. Said that they would 60 into some good
business and be able to live swell. Suggested
we 60 on a date some evening, which / agreed
to do Friday.
Friday
I persuaded my son to 60 with me on this
date. Rose was delighted, and teased me about
my handsome young sheik. Her Spanish boy
friend was extremely jealous, 50 she played
up to my son considerably, asking him about
his work. Fortunately, my son told her he
worked in drug store. He has o job after
school at a soda fountain.
That seemed to please Rose, and she told him
that some day he might become chemist.
She said Donau was a chemist and, later, that
he had invented a cleaning fluid which one Of
his friends who was in the dry-cleaning business
told him was worth fortune. Rose said that
she had the formula, and they would have the
invention patented and make some money on
that If Donati lost his case against the gas
company. I asked her where he had worked
on this invention, and she said at home in his
own room.
Saturday.
questioned Rose further about Donati's in
vention, asking her If she would let me take the
formula and get some of the cleaning fluid for
my own use. At first she agreed to do this,
but later remembered that Donati had warned
her specifically against showing the formula to
any one, so she gave me the name of the dry
cleaner who is using it, and said that if
told him of our friendship he would be glad to
do my cleaning reasonably.
Lawyer Shipley was quick to seize upon the
possibility of the explosions having been caused
by the cleaning fluid and called in q repre-
sentative of the gas company. Between them
they got at the truth and Donati lost what at
first appeared to be his perfect case.

Turner was sent to get some samples Of his

To Mrs Turner's amazement when she pre-
sented herself in his stufy little home on Gif-
ford court the Hindu doctor went into a trance
behind pair Of filthy portieres with only his
huge feet protruding, and when he finally
emerged made the woman q low bow and
reported that the spirits advised him she needed
no medicine. " IS - <*t..'
He gave her q charm charged her % for

door which opened onto a back street.
So she called in Terese, a little colored girl
who worked in q beauty parlor and who had
assisted ON O number of cases where 1t was
impossible for Mrs. Turner to work without
being suspected.
"Terese," she said II wish you'd 90 down

any other kind Of medicine he may have"
1T isn't that I'm afraid, Mrs. Turner" Gne
replied, but just don't like to 60 down there.
Why that doctor put an evil charm on two
men one time, and when their wives found
them they were sitting In two chairs facing
each other and both Of them were absolutely
dead. The doctor had charmed their eyes

anxious, to drive twice down Clifford court and
stare at the house, black, sinister thing,
with pale light shining through window
like a wicked eye.
Finally when she had resolved to park in the

and out stepped Mrs. Pringle, chatting pleas
