Just Means For
Exchanging
Goods

Detroit, July 3O-lNs- Henry
Ford is so years old today.
At press conference yesterday
when he received congratulations
on his birthday, before starting for
his home on Lake Huron for a
quiet holiday, he reviewed the
philosophy that has guided him
and his vast empire since its in
ception.
by doing things that need to
be done, we have found that the
necessary means come along as
byproduct.
We never made money our main
object......money Is just a part OF
a practical life-it save time IN
exchanging goodsAand is no goosl
for anything else.
People who desire TO live off
money thinking that money is
wealth, easily become parasites. 1t
is the desire to create something
useful that makes them workers"

Fuel Rations

Rationed fuel oil users who have
had rations before, are receiving
their 1884 coupon books for
heating fuel oil. About LOCO have
been mailed.
Blanks are not yet available for
those who are applying for heating
fuel oil for the first time, or who
before July 81. 1913 have changed
residence addresses since last

that they wish to have application
blanks sent them as soon as they
arrive. probably by Aug. Is.
Since those persons, who used
rationed fuel oil last year and who
live at the same address this year,
have already been sent application
blanks No. R-1167. from the mail
ing list OF the board, and most OF
them have been filled in and re-
turned to the board, they are re-
ceiving the 1943-4i coupon books
The amounts allowed are gen
orally slightly increased over the
amounts of last year.
There has been a change IN
periods of use this year to remedy
the condition OF last year when
user would find too little OF his
ration available in one period and
more than he required in the next.
To cure that defect, the periods,
five in number, will overlap so
that stamps from two periods may
be used at the same time. The
dates of the periods are: first
period, July 1. 1913 to January T.
1914: second period, Nov. 80. 1943
to Feb. s. 1914; Ne. 3, Nov. 80,
1913 to March IA, 1914; Period
No. from Feb. s. 1914 to Sept.
80. 1914 Period No. is ident-
cal in date with period No. 4.
Requests for increased rations
will not be processed until Oct.
1, and will be allowed only in
case OF some unusual change that
makes the increase justified.
