DEARBORN, Mich, Aug. 8. W.P)
Henry Ford's vision of farmers
growing basic materials of indus
try-now mined from the earth and
cut from the forests-is already
taking tangible form in series of
small villages near here where his
workers man the machines in small
factories and till the soil of their
own gardens after factory hours.
The manufacturer first dreamed
of decentralizing industry IL years
ago, even as thousands of workers
left the soil and flocked to Detroit
to seek and find employment in his
factories.
He realized the menace of the in
dustrial monster he had helped Gre
ate and invisioned a way to con-
troll it.
With Henry Ford to dream is to
act. The greatest of all Industrial
lists began studying agriculture.
Today, as a result. Ford has sew
en- factories in villages within 20
miles of Dearborn. An eighth fac
tory, which at peak production will
employ 1000 workers, is located at
Ypsilanti, Mich, completely sur
rounded by workmen's garden plots.
Ford's original intention was to
decentralize and control industry by
taking it to the village. He has
since decided, however, to go fur
ther. He plans to place his thou
sands of workers back on the farm

Natalie Talmadge Keaton today
was awarded an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce from Buster Keaton,
frozen face" comedian, by Supe-
rior Judge Joseph P. Sproul, on
her testimony that Buster was
quite a "rounder."
Blonde Constance Talmadge, sis
ter of Natalie, corroborated the
testimony regarding Keatons night
life.
Buster. Constance said, had
formed a habit of remaining away
from home until late hours Of the
night, and refusing to explain his
night, an drefusing to explain his
whereabouts upon his return.
The much -publicized airplane
trip in which Keaton attempted to
take his sons to Mexico several
months ago also was used as a
basis for Mrs. Keaton's plea OF
cruelty.
1t was recalled that at the time
of the air trip, Keaton was taken
into technical custody for question:
ing by San Diego police at the re-
quest of District Attorney Buron
Fits. Fits and his chief investi-
gator, Blayney Matthews, later

READY
FOR TRIP INTO
STRATOSPHERE,

ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 8.
W.P-Prof. August Picard, frail
and bushy-haired Belgian scientist,
completed plans today for his Sec
ond ascent 10 miles into the heav-
ems where he hopes to obtain in
valuable data concerning the cos
mic rays, probably by Wednesday
of this week.
His huge balloon, with an i'm
proved gondola. to carry himself
and his companion $4,000 feet or
more above the earth, is on the
ground.
1t was reported that King Albert
of Belgium will come to Zurich to
witness the professors feat. Mrs.
Picard and their five children will
attempt to follow the flight by au-
tomobile.
The adventure for science will be
started at dawn The balloon will
not be brought down until sunset.
Professor Picard said today that
he hopes to remain eight hours in
the stratosphere.
The day of ascension depends on
atmospheric conditions, since the
scientist is hopeful of drifting
toward the Alps. 1t would be safer,
he feels, to land in the mountains
because of the absence of danger
Gus air currents there.
Professor Picard and Max Co.'S
yns, of Brussels. who expects to
accompany him, will carry para
chutes as an additional precaution.
Picard intends to wireless news of
his position periodically, and to re-
ceive weather information from be-
low
He has no desire, he said, to beat
his altitude record of last year. AL
titude interests him only in that it
takes him into the stratosphere
where he hopes to discover some
thing of the secret of the cosmic
ray. He believes that it will be
necessary for him to reach about
$4,000 feet-the altitude he attained
