Ford Prophesies
Bigger, Better
After War
BY JAMES L. KHGALLEN


WAYS. Ga. Feb. 6. - Henry
Ford, the worlds greatest au-
thority on motor cars, predicted
in an exclusive interview today
that the automobile of five years
from now will be more economical,
better powered. easier on the eye
and one-half its present weight.
The Model T, which he made
famous years ago. weighed LOO
pounds. The average car today
weighs about $500 pounds. Ford
said.
That means the automobiles of
1916 will weigh only about 400
pounds and. according to Ford. the
body will be made Of plastic.
SEES BETTER U. S.
Ford visualizes a new. bigger
and better United States Is years
from now in spite of the war
clouds now hanging so menacingly
over this country. He thinks
America will emerge from the
present world chaos in an I'M
proved condition because we have
the brains. the resources and the
will to achieve"
II am an optImist on the flu
ture of America" said Ford.
I'VE are a nation Of educated
people. We have done things,
and we can continue to do
things. We have the land, the
people. the machinery. And we
can accomplish more than ever
In the years to come"
At his Winter home here at
Ways, Ga, where he has a 10000
acre experimental farm. Ford is
daily trying out new things in his
laboratory and in the fields. He is
growing all kinds of crops.
Ford gets more ideas about cars
per day than the average city edi-
tor does for news stories. At the
age of II. he is an amazingly ac-
tive and Woodworking man.
NEGRO SCIENTIST GREATEST
"W'ho do you think I regard
rs the greatest living scientist
today" he inquired.
After ! had made several wrong
guesses. he replied:
George Washington Carver,
the colored scientist of Tuskee-
gee University In Alabama. He
IL a great man, a perfect gentle
-man.- He has made wonderful
discoveries, such rs making paint
out of Georgia clay and finding
many uses for peanuts. l have
named our school here after
him."
/ have always found that Ford's
chief interest was learning new
things-particularly about people.

thing has given him the biggest
kick" out of life. | found out il
wasn't making money.

LIKES TO HELP PEOPLE

Every man i ever spoke to
and asked q sincere and intelli-
gent question helped me-" Ford
replied. THAT Is what has given
me the biggest kick throughout
life.
People like TO help each
other. I like TO help my fellow
man. AS a matter Of fact, ! get
a kick out OF everything-Out
of living life the right way"
Ford, unlike many men in the
public eye. never condemns mer
who are fighting him. He displays
no rancor. He talks principles
not personalities. He may express
in opposition to unions. for
example. but he refrains from
in personalities.
