FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY
Henry Ford lias ulways been a man with original ideas.
He put into effect a $5-a-day minimum pay scale nt a time
when that was a princely wage.' He followed that up by an
nouncing that the way to make money was to pay as high
wages as possible and sell as cheaply as possible, thus re
versing two age-old maxims of the business world. Then
he adopted the five-diiy week. Now he sny3 that the money
he made by selling 15,000,000 Model T Fords wasn't really
his mioney at all but belonged ,to the public. Ho didn't lose
money when he stopped production to develop a new model,
he said; he simply reinvested a surplus of funds that he hud
been holding in trust. "The profits we made on our Model
T cars wasn't our money," he remarks. "The public paid
it to us. Organized as this company is, we couldn't do' any
thing with it except use it to make a better automobile." It
is interesting to ponder on the weight which success and
great wealth give to a man's words. Suppose some down-at-the-heels
agitator, or long-haired scribbler, had propound
ed this theory. He would lu.ve been hooted from one cud
of the country to another. But Henry Ford, who is worth '
one billion in cash and has two or Ihreo hundred thousand
men working for him, says it and nobody hoots at all.
Many question his statement, of coui3o; but they do it de
ferentially, respectfully. In that respect, perhaps, more
than in any other, Ford has a tremendous responsibility. Be
side it the responsibility that comes from the mere owner
ship of vast wealth shrinks to nothing. Ford's ideas ideas
that find expression in such remarks as those quoted above
are bound to have a greater influonce than he himself can
dream. For millions of men in this country accept them asl
gospel. ord is the greatest industrialist of our time; is
it to be wondered that when he talks about things in his
own field, people take everything he says as true? It is en
tirely possible that Henry Ford will eventually cause a re
alignment of : our entire! business and economic structure.
Not only has he set an example; he has talked, and the ma
gfc of his name has gained a hearing for his words that no
other man can got. His thoorizings will be remembered long
after he has gone. It may even be that somle day his state
ments will be buttle cries for the world's radicals. That is
the real significance of Ford. Actions may speak louder
than words; yet, in this case, it would seem that what Ford
Buys can have even more importance that what he does.

-The Canadian department of the interior has issued
a 'booklet dealing with insulated walls in dwelling houses.
It points out that one of the advantages of insulation is
that noises from the kitchen cannot be heard in the rest
Of the heme. Under certain circumstances that is an ad
vantage, of course. There is nothing particularly inspiring
libout the clink of pots and pans. But the thing works both
ways. There is nothing that sounds better than the sizzle
of chops, frying in the pan. It makes a dinner bell need
less. Iivsome homes the only thing that ever gets father
downstairs on time for breakfast is the noise of breakfast
preparations.. The noise of the frying pan is fully as po
tent as its ai-oma. Think twice before you sound-proof
your kitchen.

'Tis there you're running to and

If fighting cock and gay magpie

You are the cock of chaparral.
A fine, gay, dandy desert pal.
From all the birds you take the

Can whip the biggest rattle

Outrun him in Ills native pride;
Outwit the fox when near his

Can all the tricks of desert, ken;

Where other birds are ofton

You are a comedy on legs
Tho keenest thing yet sprung

You have the swiftest legs to run,
And know just how to have your
fun ;
You have the grit to stage a
fight,
Will do It ere you'll take to
flight;
You give to all an honest deal,
But never yet wore known to
squeal.
You are a brave and nluckv hlr,l.
And often seen before you're
heard ;
You fit quite well In desert's

But 'mid coyotes and mountain

And worn and trodden rahlill

You are the cock of chaparral,

THE DAY BEFORE MY FIRST AIR FLIGHT
By Louis Albert Banks
This is the curious day before .
I fly along the skyline shore. '
My thoughts are skimming o'er the past
And of the future make forecast:
I think of wagons, iron ax
Whose jolts the stoutest frame would tax
I think of oxen slow and dull
That traveled lazy.'liked to lull.
' 1 think of muddy earthen roads,
And how-we tried for speed with goads;
1 think of horses handsome, gay
That used to trot along the Way;
The coming of the daily mail , .. '
The great event of frontier trail;
The swiftest dreams of speed the stage,
That bouncing, reeling leather cage.
And then there came the railroad trains
Which ran so fast across the plains,
That smoking, snorting iron steed
They dirt and dust nnd cinders breed;"1
And then the gasoline mobile
Which does not need the track of steel,
Which crowds the highway with its cars
And fills the night with dazzling stars.
And now to-morrow, I shall fly
And sweep along a path on high;
Shall ride a bird-like nil plane
Along a mystic sunlit lane;
Fly o'er the mountains, miss the dirt,
And with the fleece wrapped clouds shall flirt;
Shall get the best of time and space

The Tinymltes all stopped In
awe. jjy, mey were hiiockcu uy j
what they saw. The wooden 1
man, sttll in the blaze, was burn
ing at the waist. "Hey, hurry up
and rescue me," he shouted.
"Can't you Tinles see that 1 will
shortly burn to pieces if you don't
make haste?"
"Oh, my! Oh, nie! Oh, me!
Oh. 'my!" The Tinymltes heard
Scouty cry. "Our wooden man
has fallen In our fire. He's burn
ing fast. Where is iomo water?
Get a pail!" But this plan was to
no avail. They coulda t lind a pail
nearby. My, how long would this
last?
Then Clowny had a happy
thought. Said he, "Come oa! 1
think wo'ought 10 do our best to
rescue htm. Imagine all that heat!
Let's drag him out across the
ground whero we know he'll bo
safe and sound. If we all help,
we'll do It by Just pulling on his
feet." .
And so the Tlaies, brave and
bold, rushed wildly up and grab
bed a hold. "Now pull!" exclaim
ed Wee Coppy. "Pull real hard,
with all your might." It took
brave Coppy to lnopire the bunch
to pull him from the fire. The
wooden man cried, "Thank you!
My, but I'm ail awful sight."
"Now, doa't you worry," Carpy
said. "The hot flnmeB did not
touch' your head. In fact your
body is the only tiling that's burn

do for you. We'll make a body, all
brand new. As Boon as we have
done that, you'll again be looking

They smoothed a log that seem

Just long enough. Tho wooden
