Watch Help
To Mr. Ford
By DAVID J. WILKIE
(Associated Presa Staff Writer)
DETROIT (A P) "William
Ford's boy, llenry," and a neigh
boring farmer's daughter were
married 42 years ago.
In the parlor of the home of
ibe bride, Clara Bryant, in Green
lield, a Detroit suburb, they
spoke their marriage vows.
The Episcopal service of the
time, which Included ove. honor
and obey" was read by Rev. Ste
phen W. Frisbie of St. Paul's
church, Greenfield. Henry was 25,
his bride was 21.
On April 11 Mr. and Mrs. Hen
ry Ford will observe the 42nd
anniversary of their marriage and
also Mrs. Ford's birthday in their
home, "Fairlane." whose many
acres spread out to almost touch
the original Ford and Bryant
farms.
It was at a dance In Greenfield
that young Henry Ford sought an
introduction to Melvin Bryant's
daughter.
"It was a case of love at first
sight." Ford afterward remarked.
"He made absolutely no im
pression on me at the time, and I
didn't see him again until a year
later," Mrs. Ford observed. It
was at another dance.
"Then I went home and told
my parents about him," Mrs. Ford
continued. "He was different from
other young men." Mrs. Ford ex
plained that at their second meet
ing they "sat out" two dances,
while the young man showed her
the most unusual watch she ever
had seen. Young Ford had made
it.
It had two sets of hands that
told standard and "sun time."
both of which were in use in De
troit at the time. It was then, ac
cording to Mrs. Ford, that she de
cided the young man was "dif
ferent." "We waited two years more be
fore we were married." she said,
"until Mr. Ford's father could
pive us one of his farms."
Through years of early strug
gles and ultimate success. Mr. and
Mrs. Ford have bepn devoted to
each other. "I never make him do
anything," says Mrs. Ford. "I
don't have to."
Ford describes Mrs. Ford
"The Believer."
"She had faith," he says.

Loop Area
Pierced by
Subways
CHICAGO ( AP) This city
seems about to realize its hope
for a subway system.
Chicago is the only large city
of the world without underground
passenger transport.
Three bores through the con
gested "loop" district are part of
the city's vast proposed transpor
tation readjustment.
Digging the tunnels, under a
network of conduits, freight tun
nels, subterranean storage rooms
and the Chicago river will be a
tremendous task, but it It hoped
the first subways will be done
in tima ot the Century of Pro
gress exposition In 1933.
i Two of the subways are to
be under State and Clark streets,
important north and south thor
oughfares, and the third east and
west under Van Buren or Jackson
streets. Others will be added later.
Committees of bankers and al
dermen virtually have agreed on
the main points of the consolida
tion of street and elevated rail
ways, and the subway construc
tion. The council expects to pass
the needed legislation in May, and
submit it to the voters in June.
At least 10 years will be re
quired to complete the project of
building a subway system and ex
tending the surface and elevated
lines.-
Surface companies now have
1,000 miles of track and the "L's"
160. It is proposed to add 245

ARREST LOOMS
LONDON. May 2. (Friday)
(AP) Reports prevalent here
that the government had decided
to arrest Mahatma Gandhi have
been current in Karachi, India,
according to dispatches to the
Daily Mail today.
THE DALLES Ore containing
eilver, copper and traces of gold
lias been struck by an Idaho min
ing concern engaged in drilling at
Che country club.
That gallant band of Civil War
veterans famous as Minnesota's
Last Man's Club is down to its
last man. One by one its members j
have' answered the final bugle j
call, and now only Charles Lock
wood, 89, of Chamberlain, S. D.,
is left alone with his dreams and
memories of the 33 men who, 44
years, ago met to organize a club
that would keep alive the spirit of
B Company, First Minnesota Vol
unteer Infantry. Peter O. Hall, of
Atwater, Minn., who was Lock
wood's comrade of war and peace,
has just died at the age of 91,
after having made plans to attend
the annual reunion of the club in
July, wjth Lockwood and himself
as the sole guests.
The Last Man's club was or
ganized in July,- 188C, the an
niversary of the day that the com
pany went under fire at Bull Run.
Each year the club has met and
each year it has dwindled in mem
bership but not in spirit, and the
.reunion, although charged with a
sad undercurrent, was ever a hap
py and cheerful affair. And al
ways, a bottle of Bargundy, pur
chased at the inception of the club,
has been placed on the banquet
table as a reminder of a toast
that would someday be offered by
dne man in silent memory of his
ghostly comrades of war. Thus to
Ltickwood alone is left the solemn
rite of drinking a toast to the 32
men who have passed on. At each
annual dinner the bottle has been
brought unopened from the bank
vault where it is kept, and only
three years, when three members
were left, was it opened at the
behest of one of the trio. Peter
Hall put the bottle to his Hps and
tasted it, and It was the Imme
diately resealed. Only hall and
Lockwood attended last year-
banquet, but neither of them car
ed; to reopen the grim reminder
of the day when - one of them
would drink the last roast. Lock
wood has not yet intimated wheth
er he will fulfill the role of toast
master at a banquet for one, al
though he is in good health and
still active about his farm.
miles to the surface lines, 215 to
the elevated and to build 44 miles
of subway.
This augmented transportation
would accommodate a city of 5,
000,000 persons, a. population
which Chicago hopes to attain by
1950.
Coordination and extension
plans, if carried out, will cost
$500,000,000, the hankers' com
mittee estimates.
Both the elevated and surface
lines would be pushed farther In
to the suburbs, reaching a score or
more communities not now serv
ed by them. Interchangeable
transfers is another proposal.
