Ford indicted his son, EdSel. into a
part and share in the business at a
comparatively early age. and the re-
markable thing about this is that, de-
spite the predominating performance
and prominence Of his father, he was
able, nevertheless, to make q career and
reputation for himself through his in
dustrious application to his work and
diligence in all his responsibilities He
has become quite something more than
a mere shadow Of his father. He has
acquired honor and distinction through
his own merits and efforts. Neverthe-

entirely harmonious and mutually help

Becomes Citizen
Upon Residence in U. S.
FL Concrete, Lima have Just
been to New York to see my old college
friend, Juan Shaeffer. Juan was born
in Bilbao. the son Of Swiss father and
Vizcayan mother. In the College
eel Angel de Ia Guardia" of Bidebar-
rieta, Shaeffer was called 1.-The Switzer,"
and enjoyed the prestige which. de-
servedly or not. belongs to all other
Europeans in Spain. Later on, at the
university in Zurich, he was called
"the Spaniard," and inspired the great
est admiration among his companions
when he demonstrated the fine art Of
bullfighting, in pantomime, with q cane
and bandana handkerchief, on the
campus. He also gave out that every
Lolita, a flaming symphony OF feminine
pulchritude, who would rather stab you
with a pearl-handled poignard than
not. What does Lolita say?" his
coterie would ask breathlesSly. with
wide eyes-none Of them could read
much Spanish. "Oh, she just says she
is very jealous, and that had better
be CAREFUL She may drive over here
some week end"
Now Juan is In America, and he Is
not a foreigner, but a naturaliZed citi-
zen. It Is not so pleasant to be a
foreigner in America. Instead OF being
extolled or pampered, they are general
" looked upon as rather inferior beings
and do not come into full fellowship
until they have professed their sym
pathy with all the institutions Of the
country and evinced q willingness to
become an integer Of the state.
Mr.. Shaeffer, though q foreigner IN
Bilbao and q foreigner in Zurich, is
very much an American in New York.
He selects films for Spanish moving
picture houses. He has an once In q
building on Times Square and an apart
ment on Riverside drive. His clothes
and his English are both very correctly
American.
Matter
OF Common Honesty.
Morning Post, acknowledgements
writes to combat our suggestion that it
Is not honest to use again stamps which
have CHANGED to escape cancellation In
the post. From the postage stamps
point Of view" he writes, che is, from
no fault Of his own, defrauded Of his
lust reward of usefulness In being
passed over undecorated by o careless
hand. Why should he not be allowed
another CHANGER"
our correspondent says, in effect, that
1t is the lookout Of the post ONCE. That
may be so; but II shop.assistant gives
us too much change, or waiter under
charges us for o meal-these things
have actually happened to us-shan we
not, in common honesty, point out the
error?
