THE curious fact was that
Ford probably believed himself
when he said he was not anti
Semitic. He was only trying once
and for all to settle the imme-
mortal Jewish question. How? BY
obliging Jews to see themselves
as he saw them: and he expected
good Jews to stand with him.
One of his good Jews was a
rabbi in Detroit TO whom he
presented each year a Ford car
in token Of friendship. He was
astonished and hurt when one
year the rabbi refused to accept
his gift. and called him on the
telephone TO ask what was
wrong. Had something come be-
tween them?"
(The rabbi referred to, not
mentioned by name in CARROTS
book, was the late DR.. Leo M.
Franklin of Detroit.
Garrett does not report the
Shapiro-Bernstein trials, but he
tells about the Ford apology. He
says Ford did not write it, che
only signed it," The Ford dealers
breathed a sigh of relief that
the Independent was abandoned.
Garrett does quote from Ford's
''My Life and Work" (1922)-
''the style is Cameron's"-which
emphasized that S"the genius of
the United States is Christian"
1t is evident that the blame for
''the valor of ignorance" in rela-
ton to Jews is Cameron's. AS
recapitulation of an important
episode in American history,
CARROTS "The Wild Wheel" the
story of Henry Ford's world, will
be read with keen interest.

Safety Council Notes
Death travels dark roads. /"

Death travels dark roads"
Reynolds dupont, President Of
the Delaware Safety Council used
that grim reminder today in warn
ing local motorists Of the dangers
that confront the night time driver.
October brings shorter days and
longer nights" he said. For the
next six months, drivers will face
an increasing number Of miles they
may have to travel in the dark"
Mr. DUPONT based his warning of
night driving hazards on records
compiled by the National Safety
Council. The council says that on
mileage basis two or three times
as many traffic accident fatalities
occur at night as in daylight.
Dimly-lighted streets and un-
lighted rural highways call for eX-
ira vigilance on the part Of meteor
lists who are driving at night, he
cautioned.
''The night time driver should re-
duce speed even under the most
ideal night time driving condi-
tiOns", he warned.
Mr.. DUPONT reminded motorists
that regardless Of what the other
driver does, both courtesy and the
law demand that motorists din
their headlights when approaching
another vehicle. He took accession

Protect Your Animals
Health; Beware OF
Home Made Remedies

Despite the dramatic advances of
modern science in disease-preven-
tiOn and treatment, a few farmers
still cling to the ancient supersti-
tiOns and "hOme cures" for live
stock ills handed down from the
middle ages, the American FOun-
datiOn for Animal Health reported
here today.
Quoting reports of rural veterins
arians who occasionally encounter
these old superstitiOns, the FOun-
datiOn lists these as some of the
more usual "home treatments.
For tetanus in horses. Chewing
tobacco and kerosene.
For indigestion in cattle....An old
sock, smeared with grease and
forced down the cows throat.
For mango in dOgs...A copper
wire around the dogs neck.
For calf scOurs...The leg bone of
a chicken tied to the calf's neck.
For sleeping sickness..P Placing a
board on the horses head and
pounding it with a hammer.
A few animal owners still seem
to believe in medieval diseases
which never existed, the report
states. Among these are hollow
tail" and hollow horn" in cattle
Another old superstition held that
| surgery on animals would be fail
ure unless the signs Of the Zodiac
were favorable.
Luckily, these old beliefs have
almost disappeared in America
| the Foundation said. Otherwise
we would not be able to maintain
our present disease control record
which has made this the mos
healthful place in the world fol
