That la a principle that every good

WHEN Mr. Ford waa moved Into

the floor to which he waa assigned
was moved out.
Thla writer, for one, rather wishes
that hadn't been done. It would
have been more In keeping with his
useful and quite eympathetle life if
he had preferred to move right In

when that happen we shall be able
