And what was done last year will compare very poorly with what is being accomâ€" plished in aircraft construction in MANY NEW AIRCRAFT CONSTRUCTED IN 1927 and so hard," he added, "that the people who praise you will always seem to be talking about something trivial in comparison with what you are really trying to do. Better have a job too big for popular praise, so big that you can get a good start on it before the cheering squad gets its intelligent glimmerings of what you are trying to do. Then you will be free to work. And, being free to work, you will have achieved the truest success and satisfaction." ‘ There is a‘ final reason why Ford does not consider himself a success. "The man who thinks he has done something hasn‘t many more things to do," he said. "More men are failâ€" ures on account of success than on account of failures. They beat their way over a dozen obstacles, sacrifice, sweat and make the impossible posâ€" sible. Then along comes & little sucâ€" cess and it tumbles them from their perch. Make your program so long ‘"Efficient industry is the sole key to prosperity. Therefore it is the most effective means to do away with povâ€" erty. It strikes at the cause of povâ€" erty. Already through efficient indusâ€" trial operation we have attained a level of material life unparalleled in the world‘s history. But we have only begun to practice efficiency. We used torpride ourselves upon utilizing waste. Now we simply eliminate it. There is no waste to utilize." As Part Owner Only Mr. Ford has worked out his manuâ€" facturing and sales systems upon the theory that he is only a part owner of his machine. The people, not the banks, have furnished the money for operation and his policy is to share the profits with them. He has placed his cars below cost price for the purâ€" pose of forcing his helpers to work out new economies. The ultimate in efficiency and economy is the one real job he has set for himself and without that he will not be satisfied. He considers cars as a mere byâ€"prodâ€" uct of the bigger operation. f "There are a number of things we} have learned in building this machine," } he said. "One is that what we look | upon as high wages today may by low wages in ten years hence. Nobody knows how high men‘s wages eventuâ€"| ally will go; and likewise, nobody knows just how cheaply goods eventuâ€" ally will be produced. It may be posâ€" sible to double wages and halve costs, | orâ€"to quarduple wages and quarterlf costsâ€"we don‘t know. All that we| know certainly is that costs are no} nearer the bottom than wages nreH at the top; and we know that the} two movements, the one of wages upâ€" ; 1 ward and the other costs downward,|‘ will do more toward abolishing povâ€"|‘ erty than all of the professional charâ€" itable agencies combined. i* ",'."f".‘.""“‘"“ countryside is Moreover, the billionaire manufactâ€" urer made is plain that he does not intend to retire either in the near future or ever, for that matter. "Up to the age of forty," he said, "a man is in training. He is assembling the tools with which to work. When the tools are at hand, they can be put to their real uses. Should he quit then he would quit a failure. If he should sell out and retire, he would be the sorriest failure of all. Money is but a tool. As soon as it becomes other than a tool in use it is a menace." Business a Machine Mr. Ford considers his business merely as a machine and not primarâ€" ily designed to build automobiles. The most important things it is designed to produce, he declares, is jobsâ€"betâ€" ter jobs, more jobs at higher wagesj and shorter hours. t "I am not yet a success, except as an assembler of tools. My real work remains to be done." This is Henry Ford‘s view of life at sixtyâ€"five, exâ€" pressed in an interview with the American Magazine, in which he gives the most complete outline of his work and aims that he has ever permitted to be made public.

A period of six months was given in which garage and filling station ownâ€" ers might effect the necessary changâ€" es, according to information received by the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor club. ‘ When this proposition was tried out in Massachusetts and other States it was roundly denounced as public interference with the rights of emâ€" ployers who put up a boisterous kick against paying small sums for this class of insurance for the benefit of those who work in shops and offices: But there is a different attitude conâ€" cerning this kind of insurance nowâ€" adays; and no particular objection was raised to the law that has become a Government statute. As a result such States as do not already have this class of laws are likely to get on the band wagon and make the new form of insurance general throughout the Nation.

It is not unâ€" common for half or threeâ€"quarters of the people in a little town to take the village paper. The reason is obvious â€"the country paper is personal to its readers. Its columns are almost like a private letter from a member of the family. If a New York newspaper could get that close to its readers it * ‘Newspapers,‘ he said, ‘are widely read because the individual reader sees himself constantly in the paper. I do not mean that he sees his own name. I mean that he reads about things happening to individuals which might happen to him, and he keeps comparing himself with what he The late John M. Siddall who gave me the groundwork of most of the things I know about serving the pubâ€" lic in print declared that the only thing that interests all buman beâ€" ings always, is the human being himâ€" self. a book, a national magazine or & country newspaper. In the case of the newspaper, information comes first. You are fortunate, indeed, in serving those who, for the most part live in small enough communities so that the word ‘neighbor" hasn‘t gone out of fashion. In our rual reaches every man, woman and child is inâ€" terested in knowing what every other man. woman and child is doing. "I am inclined," he told the convenâ€" tion members, "to believe that these same three words cover the basic deâ€" sires that make people turn to any kind of reading matter whether it be "All human beings are egoâ€"centric.

People like to read about the experiences of human beings anyâ€" where, provided that they can transâ€" late these experiences into terms of their own daily life, their work and their recreations." What They Are Like Mr. Crowell cited an occasion upon which he asked the readers of his magazine to tell what they liked about it and in the answers, which came from people of all ages, emâ€" ployers employes and persons of evâ€" ery condition and circumstance, he found that almost all of them had used the same three words, "informaâ€" tion," "inspiration," and "entertainâ€" ment." alls and dinrier coats are both usefu} garments. but they are not interâ€" changeable. Their fundamental purâ€" pose, however, is to conceal the huâ€" man frame with the maximum of satâ€" isfaction to the wearer, a purpose in which, if you ask me, overalls win by a wide margin. But when it comes to motivation and basic interests, the people‘s post office addresses are the least important things about them. The same wheels and cogs make them tickâ€"tock whether their mail is deâ€" livered by a goldâ€"braided hall boy or by an RF.D. man chugging laborâ€" jously thru three feet of spring mud.

The public becomes hysterical at the mere mention of poison gas, Mr. Builis said, and because of this alâ€" most universal public seutiment against the use of gas for military purposes, very few persons or organ~ izations are willing to be put in the light of defending this soâ€"called "diaâ€" bolical agency."
