Mr. Ford Visits Mr. Curtis Brain, Money vs. Babies. Copyright King Features Synd. Inc. Bishop Jiunes Ciunioii, Jr., yesterday declining to answer the senate lobby committee, walked out, disregarding orders to remain. , Senator Walsh called it "an open case of contempt." Another case of contempt sent a well known oil man to jail.'; But any lobby committee would realize that an oil man playing the races is different from a bishop "playing" t'ie stock market. i John D. Rockefeller lives quietly, plays golf, leaving meu , younger than 91 to run Stand ard Oil. But he keeps track of the world and when he ad vises he advises wisely. Much wisdom was condensed into the few words he said to a player in his foresomc, "be deliberate" and "talk less and play bet ter." That is a good ''how to succeed " recipe. ... Henry Ford, . going to visit Cyrus II. K. Curtis, arrives just in tinie to read' an editorial pub lished by Mr. Curtiss that will surprise 'M r. Ford. It says: "Prohibition reform is going over." And "Nothing can stop the growing intent of the people of the United States to preserve the good of the cx periri'icnt, noble, in -motive, but to end its unexpected and un aeeessary evils.": Henry Ford, litis said that if prohibition went and beer came back he, Mr. Ford, would close his factories, 'because men with beer can't work fast enough to keep pace with modern ma chinery. Cyrus II.. K. Curtis also owns modern, rapid machinery. He and Mr. Ford might have an in teresting discussion if they could get their minds off ad vertising. Young Indies, grniluiitiii in a college for Vv'Onicn,nre urged by the Kev. Dr. Robert Par rish to "l)e brain and money women." Wc owe much of education, science and art to rich men, says the doctor, and liiust not "despise wealth." No tendency ' to' ' despise wealth is visible in this coun try. But many, still maintain that the "brain and money woman" is not as desirable as the "church and-baby woman." (Continued on Page Four.
