They are convinced the president

Edsel Ford, Now 47,
Holds 10 His Fathers
Program ofChanue
Trained Under q Tough
Boss, He's Noted for Hard
Work and Sense of Justice

DETROIT, Nov. 7 (NANAD.-
Edsel Bryant Ford, president of the
Ford Motor Co., only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Ford, reached mile
stone No. At yesterday in the march
of his years. He began life three
years before Henry Ford rolled out
of the little Bagley street garage
his first automobile -" "horselesS
buggy" Edsel was born November
s, 1898. The first car was born in
May, 1896, and was just about large
enough to hold Henry the inventor
and his young wife, with their small
son sitting on little front seat
facing backward Possibly he could
have been squeezed in between his
father and mother, for he has the
lesser stature of the Bryant family,
but the lean and compact build Of
his father.
One of the high-ranking men of
the Ford Motor Co. was asked sew
eral years ago: What are Edsel
Fords outstanding quaities?" The
official was not speaking for publi-
cation, but instantly replied; Hard
work and a keen sense of justice"
Had Tough Boss.
EdSel did not go to college, but
he had all the early schooling
needed to fit him for the hard
knocks Of apprenticeship in the old
Ford factory in Highland Park and
to develop the qualities for which
he is noted among the workmen
and his colleagues. The job of pre-
pairing himself to become the man
ager of one of the worlds largest
family owned industrial concerns
and the possessor of a fabulous for
tune was a tough assignment.
He had a tough boss, his father,
watching the son as the apple of
his eye" but always eXacting closest
application to the work in hand. 1t
was a grand school for the develop
ment of social sympathy and justice.
That Edsel Ford has not lacked in
sympathy is evidenced by the large
annual gifts by him and his wife to
the Detroit Community Fund.
Continuous Change.
Recently Edsel said: I'VE are
committed to the policy of high
wages and low prices and this means
a continuous program Of change, for
better things are always coming up.
I cannot imagine a better business
philosophy than the one my father
has held"
Henry Ford is not Czar of the
works and business Of the Ford
Motor Co. in all respects. He long
ago delegated to Edsel so much of
the responsibility, particularly on
the side of business management,
that the younger Ford is one Of the
busiest men in the realm Of Ameri-
can business.
EdseI was chiefly responsible for
the change from model T-"The
Tin Lizzle'-to Model A and its
later development.
He cares for the beautiful, knows
what is art. Among his business
colleagues, Edsel Fords judgment is
sought and his counsel is welcomed.
He has built for himself the reputa-
ton Of solid American business
man." whose business interests have
not divorced him from a sense of
social responsibility.

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

When a bird has a wide distribu-
ton, as does the lark sparrow, he
.accumulates, along the way, several
common names. So we find, among
the many names by which this bird
goes, those Of quailhead, road bird,
lark finch and little meadow lark.
When we say this sparrow is one
of our most lovable and attractive
American birds, we must have good
reason for such broad statement.
In the grassy country almost every
where, with the exception of the
AlleghenieS and on the Atlantic
Coast, this bird is a familiar sight
to bird lovers and to many others.
Though there is less grass to be
Evening star., 1940-11-07

found in the Southwest, there is an
abundance of sagebrush and here,
too, the lark sparrow is common.
1t is not difficult to recognize a
bird that is 6l2 inches long, with
upper parts of brownish-gray
Streaked with black and under parts
of snowy white. The wings are long
and pointed, the tail long and
rounded and the feet quite small;
this combination finger prints" for
you the friendly lark sparrow whose
beauty, charming song and neigh
borliness endears him to all who
have made his acquaintance.
Ridgeway has described his song
as "one continued gush of sprightly
music, now gay, now melodious, and
then tender beyond description
the very expression of emotion At
intervals the singer falters, as if eX-
hauSted by eXertion, and his voice
becomes scarcely audible, but sud-
denly reviving in his JOY it is re-
sumed in all its vigor until he ap-
pears to be really overcome by the
effort"
Though the nest is carefully con-
cealed, it is usually built in either
a natural depression in the ground,
or on the ground in the dry open
meadows or prairies in the places
where you are most likely not to be
searching for a birds nest.
Dried grass, weed stalks and such
material are used for the exterior
walls, while finer bits of the same
plants are satisfactory for the inner
walls and mattress. Three to six
pure white or very pale blue and
even brownish white eggs are laid.
These are marked with pen lines
and dots of brown or black. They
remind you very much of oriole eggs.
Since the lark sparrow is grass
land bird, he has found it becoming
less difficult each year to locate his
favorite building site westward, for
there is now an almost continuous
area of grassland all the way west
to the prairieS and the Western
birds are coming East for the same
reason.
The food of these sparrows is
about 81 per cent insects and the
remainder weed and grass seeds.

Army Starts Buying
Foreign as Well as
Domestic Wool
Buns Suspended in Face
Of Dwindling Supplies
And Rising Prices in U. S.

In announcing a new policy to
guide Army purchases of wool the
War Department last night said
that it has been necessary to sus-
pend the requirement that only do
mestic wool should be used in filling
military orders for clothing and
blankets.
The National Defense Advisory
Commission, it was said, felt the
suspension was necessary because
of the "dwindling supplies and ris-
ing prices of domestic wool, which
have resulted from heavy military
purchases"
For this reason the quartermaster
general was authorized to call for
bids on material manufactured
from foreign as well as domestic
wool or a combination of the two
The War Department action, it was
expected, will check undue specula-
tive activity in domestic wool, there
by protecting Goth Government and
civilian consumers. In the long run
it was believed it would afford pro-
lection also to growers.
Increased imports of wool from
South America and Australia were
said to be necessary to fill our huge
Army orders being given each week.
The War Department has con-
sidefed wool a critical" material
for a number of years. Thus it was
placed in the category of materials
essential to defense which might
not be available from domestic
sources in the qualities and quanti-
ties desired.
The present domestic wool sup
ply, it was said, is unable to meet
the abnormally large requirements
of the defense program.
Even in normal times, officials
said, considerable part of Amer
ica's wool supply is imported from
South America, Australia, South
Africa and Canada. Practically all
the South American and Canadian
supply is now being diverted to
British needs. and so is part of the
Australian. 1t is expected. there
fore, that imports from South Amer
lea and Australia will be increased
under the action by the War De-
partment.
