1 TKCHNICAL INHTITVTR
Km.!imrn Will Ot HcltoUrafilp of
Forty Onle an Hoar,
Henry Ford has announced bis In
tention of open technical college
In Detroit. It will be known aa the
Ford Institute of Technology, and Its
curriculum will embrace those sub
jects which lead to degrees In me
chanical electrical and chemical en
gineering. Outstanding, is Mr,
Ford's decision to grant monetary
scholarships to all students; fresh
men will receive scholarships of Ap
proximately $20.00 week. Ratea
for advanced students have not yet
been announced.
Like all Ford ventures, the Insti
tute presents IU own deviation from
customary systems. Tbe school year
la divided Into two parts, half of the
time being apent In class, lecture
rooms snd labratorles, and half In
tha shops doing actual work under
actual working conditions. This
regimen Is so divided that tbe stud
ents work alternates every two
weeks.
The , reason for this clsss-to-shop
and shop-to-claaa method Is given In
the' school announcement: 'Tbe
Ford Institute of Technology pro
poses to give that education which Is
life, directed by purpose, In order
ibat there need be no 'period of ad
justment' after graduation. Theo
retical work Is supplemented by ex
perience In practice, and by contact
with actual conditions In life. Com
mercial standards relative to meth
ods and cost of manufacture, shop
organisation, accuracy, production,
and time, are stressed."
"Tbe labratory at the disposal of
students" continues the Ford an
nouncement, "Includes tha Hlghlanl
Park Plant, the Tractor Plant and
Blnat Furnaces at River Rouge, a
railroad, a mine, a lumber camp, and
many subsidiary operations. Every
phase of engineering Is covered, not
by a meager equipment for demon
stration and experimental purposes,
but by millions of dollars' worth of
machinery and apparatus all tbe
latest! word In scientific develop
ment." Although the Ford Institute was
announced but a short time ago,
more than 1000 applications have al
ready been received. Every state In
tbe Union bus had Its applicant; and
many letters bsve come from Can
ada. Henry Ford la taking a per
sonal Interest In the new school.
KKKI'INQ HTKP WITH
THE TREND OF PRK.HH
Prices on many utilities appear to
be decreasing steadily. A ten per
cent Increase In tbe size of loaves of
bread, the aecond such Increase In
two weeks without an accompanying
Increase ' in, price was announced
laat woek by 12 of the leading bak
ers of Kansaa City. The increwo,
according to a atatemept. Is a move
on tbe part of the bakers to "keep
step with the general trend In
prices."
Prices of food served In Child's
restaurants throughout the country
were reduced from 11 to 28 percent
this week. This announcement was
made In New York by A. W. Riley,
bead of tbe government'a flying
squadron of profiteer hunters. Tbe
10 cent cup of coffee will, however
remain.
An average reduction of 10 per
cent In food prices was announced
last week by several large hotels of
New York City. tye number of
Items on the menus on which de
creases were made vary from 10 In
one large botel to 172 In another.
The new prlcea were agreed upon as
a result of Investigations by Fed
eral agents.
A reduction of 8 1-8 percent In
the wholesale price of clothing waa
announced laat week by one of the
largest clothing manufacturing con
cerns of Rochester, N. Y. The re
duction was made effective from
November 1. and applies to suits and
overcoats. It Is said tbe redaction,
which la In addition to tbe usual
cash discount of seven percent, re
presents a cut from 128, the opening
fall wholesale price, to approximate
ly 820. Men's clothing for Immed
iate delivery were offered at prices
10 to 80 per cent below former
wholesale prlcea. Goods for spring
and summer delivery were shown at
prlcea 10 to 88 1-8 per cent under
those of s year ago. Men's shirts
and similar articles were shown at
greatly reduced prices.
Tbe new J of such sweeping reduc
tions In prices Is encouraging: to tbe
general public, snd as soon ss tbe
local' merchants have bad an oppor
' tunlty to adjust their prices accord
ingly will aid materially In helping
i to solve the high cost of living.

JOHNHON CREEK HAS CLEAN-VP.
THE FUNNY THINGS WE DO
Yes, there sre some things we do
that are funny and absurd. For In
stance, we throw away ashes and
buy soap. We raise dogs and buy
hogs. We grow weeds and buy veg
etables and brooms. .We catch flsh
with a four-dollar rod. We build
school bouses and aend our children
away from home to be educated.
And we send our boys out with a $40
gun and a $100 dog to hunt a ten
cent Jackrabblt, and be don't get the
rabbit.
Johnson Creek resembled a bee
hive last Sunday, with all the mem
ben buzzing around in s general
clean-up. Sagebrush on vacant lots
was grubbed np and burned togeth
er with trash of every description
including old fences, until all that
paA of town was spick and clean.
Board walka were erected to supply
the growing needs of the new houses
lately built ...
Ray 8cbee was chief promoter for
the day, with Asa Battlea for hia as
sistant, , and Tom Quinn was chief
herder. Lake Bechtell, Bill Ireland,
Joe Gerardo and Ralph Porfily wera
bard workers, and children of tbe
neighborhood brought up the rear.
The Johnaonitea now challenge
any other part of town to show as
good a record In the way of clean-up
and Improvement
THANKSGIVING BALL '
WAS WELL ATTENDED.
The Thanksgiving nfgbt benefit
dance for tbe Legion building fund,
given by tbe Red Cross girls, was
well patronised by local people tbe
dancing floor being comfortably Ail
ed with dancers.
Tbe decorations of gold and green
and grain together with flags, were
designed and put up by the girls,
and were very much noticed for tbe
cleverness and originality.
Another feature of tbe evening
was the lighting for the moonlight
dances s large round moon, with
the Legion emblem reproduced on
the face.',
Just before supper. Miss Tons Cor
n e 1 1 gave an exhibition Spanish
dance in costume, wblcb proved very
effective. The hall waa darkened,
and the spotlight played upon Miss
Cornett as ahe danced, heightening
the effect
Tbe girls acted as floor managers
for the evening, and assisted every
body to have s very good time.
