The important thing in this , land is business, anil the fact that Ford is on the front iap.e of toner than Lindbergh proves it. Mr. Ford's newest idea is "the ten month year," every workman having two full months to rest, in summer, whieh is the worst season for factory work. To carry' but that program, all ten-months 'workers must learn how to save. But squir rels do it, hoarding nuts; red Indians did it, drying peuuni can. American labor would learn to do it. At. first the factory might, withhold one-sixth of the wages, distributing the amount,, plus interest, in weekly installments during the two months' holi day. Or possibly, NOT prob ably, employers might add one sixth to the nsual wage, for va cation distribution. There is involved in the plan ibis question, "How would two months leisure affect the minds of workers?" , The cloak and suit industry, one of the biggest in the tui tion, has long compelled work ers to take off several months, without pay, each year, some times almost half the year. The men and women are driv en hard during the working sea son, then compelled to idle. The result, according to some employers, is communism, an archism, class hatred, and simi lar by-products of idleness. It .would be wise .somehow, to supply weekly incomes dur ing the two months' vacation. Then with Tom Thumb golf, .motoring, swimming, radio, etc., there would be little dangerous thinking. The average mortal thinks only when compelled to, rarely when he has an assured income. Study the sons of rich men if you doubt it. , f Sunday's newspapers report ed a ia(t shocking airplane dis aster. In threatening weather a pi lot in Chicago took two girls up, for a "joy ride."

Sportsmen charged both men with laxity in enforcing fishing laws and receiv ing "protection money" from poachers. No successors have been named to either office, but David B.

SALEM, Ore., Aug. 1 2. W) Governor Norblad today vigor ously denied published statements that he had shown keen interest In the state game commission hearing that ousted State Game Warden Harold Clifford and his assistant, Ed Clark, and that he had talked with Clifford during the day by long distance tele phone. "The statement that I was In terested In the hearing and placed a long distance call from an un identified point Is absolutely un true," Norblad said. "1 didn't hear of the result of the confer ence until late last night. I haven't seen Clifford for a long time. I have thought, from con tacts I have had with him in the legislature and as governor,' that he was conducting the office. properly. Or course I know noth ing of the evidence heard at the meeting. I appointed four f the five members of ie commis sion, and, of course, it Is up to them to act, but their appointment had nothing whatever to do with the Clifford and Clark case."
