ONE MAN’S JOB OME folks may think of Ilenrv Ford as the man who makes | ___ the noisiest automobiles on the street. Others may think of him as the richest man in the world. But to C. W. Barron, who edits The Wall Street Journal, he is the most romantic figure in the industrial world. Twenty-five years ago, says Barron. Henry Ford was an unknown mechanic experimenting in a back shed with a contrivance to abolish the horse from the highway. In the succeeding quarter of a century, he has accomplished this job. Ford has manufactured eleven million automobiles, which he sold at a price so low that any one, almost, could afford one. To supplement the horse on the farm, he has produced the lowest priced farm tractor in such quantities that today more than half the tractors in the world are Fordsons. He entered the railroad field, reorganized a bankrupt railroad. put it on a paying basis and is electrifying it. • He acquired and operated model coal mines, model iron mines, model ships tc carry his own products to the world, and opened lumber camps in his own forests where lumber men not only save every ounce of wood in the tree, but. utilize underbrush and reforest the lands they cut over. He grew flax on a scale so large that he expects to supplant the use of cotton in automobile linings and tires. He has demonstrated one way to eliminate waste in farming by using farm labor in unproductive seasons in small factory units which serve his larger plants. He built in Detroit one of the largest and most complete hospitals in the world, covering sixteen city blocks, an operation that is astonishing the medical profession. He has established a magazine with a weekly circulation of 750,000, to present only the truth, as Ford sees it. All this and some more Henry Ford has done in twentv-fivt years. Mr. Barron describes him in the prime of physical and mental vigor at the age of 60, seeking new fields of conquest. Henry Ford has made mistakes, many of them. He is beset by some prejudices which Mr. Barron thinks he is young enough to learn to disbelieve. Believe him or not, like him or not. one has to admit that Henry Ford, for one man, in one lifetime, has done a pretty big .job. THEY EE DIFFERENT A r ~~~ NYWAY. there’s to be a test of the female in high office. “Ma” Ferguson, Governor-elect of Texas, is of the homebody sort. She has hitherto devoted herself to housekeeping. cooking and sweeping included. Mrs. Ross, Governor-elect of Wyoming, is an “intellectual,” hitherto devoted to the office affairs and studies of her late husband, a lawyer. One may presuppose -Governor Ferguson’s going in for matters, pertaining to the human side of people, while Governor Ross may be rather inclined to such things as the dignity of office. A “ma” in one case, an “intellectual” in the other. How do you place your bet ? THIRTY TRILLIONS of years is the average age of stars, say scientists. Heavenly, not Hollywood, understand. MEANWHILE, the farmer is getting relief in wheat at $1.50 or better. GUNMEN ARE becoming active again in Chicago. They felt that they were out-classed during the campaign. A DOCTOR SAYS the male has about 12 per cent more brains than the female, but the trouble is that he doesn’t use them when he meets her. THE IDEA of that Pullman ear, especially designed for the transportation of Federal prisoners, is to make the punishment fit the crime, no doubt. RAILROAD MEN claim to have established seven new records the past year, in addition, of course, to those of the crossings. THE INVENTOR who has created a phonograph that will talk steadily for two hours needn't expect to get rich. That field is already occupied. ONE M OMAN ORATOR in New York referred to the Senate as “the old men’s home at Washington.” The girls are learning rapidly. IT IS REVEALED that old Bill Hohenzollern, a long time ago, contemplated suicide, but he finally decided that he would not give the world any such boon as that. MRS. MAGDALENE JACKSON, Chicago, seeks a divorce because her husband spanked her when she made a misplav at a bridge party. She contends it was not according to Hoyle thus to embarrass her.

WIRELESS PICTURES ASSURED Possibilities of Transmission Shown by First Tests, By GEORGE BRITT XEA Service Writer N r— ~J EW YORK, Dec. 3.—Within twenty-four-hours after the first successful wireless transmission of pictures across the Atlantic, a Fifth Ave. costumer was seeking exclusive rights to transmit photographs of the latest Parisian modes. And there’s no doubt or joke about the possibilities of the new “photoradiogram” for sending finportant documents across wide spaces and obtaining important signatures quickly. It can be done with absolute accuracy and safety. News pictures can be flashed around the world In time for first editions. .■May See One Another In fact, it is a scientific possibility to build a radio telephone which permits the parties to see one another. Young lovers, divided by the rolling ocean, may hear each other’s voices and gaze into each other’s eyes. “Possibility” is the big word in this latter idyllic picture, emphasizes Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America, In whose laboratories the “photoradiogram” was developed The seeing telephone hasn’t been built yet, and it may never become commercially practical. But principles now known make it possible. “The radio transmission of pictures probably is the greatest development of wireless in many years,” General Harbord says. Cannot Tune In “The transmission of pictures from Europe by wireless is an achievement which speaks for it • If. But consider some of the refinements if the device. "It l s absolutely secret. Outsiders cannot tune in. The rate of sending can be regulated to an a-curacy c.f one point in a hundred thousand. Unless the exact rate it: known, any one receiving the Impulses will get only a blur Furthermore It is possible to code It. so that translation Is necessary to get ft picture. “It la subject to far less interference from static than sound Iran a mission. It Is comparatively cheap And it sti!l is in the infancy of its development.’’ The invention is the work of f'apt R. 11. Ranger, engineer for the Ha din Corporation, assisted by Alfred Koenig.

AKRON IS NOW CENTER OF AIRSHIPS World's Bluest Dirigible Will Be Erected in Ohio. Tin Time- Xprri.il A" KKON. Ohio, Pe<- 3.—Thirteen German aircraft designers, i. ■ . fresh from the Friedrichs- ; hufen Zeppelin works, have started design of what is t> be the world’s ! Arc st dirigible hc-rc.

The German engineers, headed by 1r Karl Arristein, who was chief engineer of the l-’riedriehshafen plant, are working in ’he employ of the Goodyear /• ppGln Corporation, which more than a year ago obtained patent rights on Zeppelins fr .m the German concern. \lt hough the ship has not been : i jt will > < -d tie- United States Government whenever work Itg plans u- ■ ompleted, and actual I construct top jus., ibly will tint start until .be ordei has been j laced.

"Within a few years, there will be established air lines between Hu rope and America. Tim next step Will t.e establishment of a line In- : tween Spain and South America.” ! Dr. Arnstein, who is recognized ns :fho world’s foremlst authority cm lighter -than-air craft forecasts. Enlarged cruising radius, improved .engines and equipment, stronger and more advanced hull design, greater fuel capacity—these are features that will be found on the world’s largest airship. Each Is Specialist Each of the twelve engineers who accompanied Dr. Arnstein to this j country is a specialist in his separate field One is in charge of general design, one in the development of girders, one has charge of hull design, another of landing gears, another of gas bags and valves—each has his own individual part to play in the design of the new era ft. Constructing this hig airship will not he an experiment for the Goodyear Company. Although the first Zeppelin to be constructed here, the Goodyear Company has been building American type aircraft for several years. One of the largest semi-rigid ships In the United States is nearing com-! pletion and within a month Its 700.- i 000-pound bag and equipment will be ! assembled at Scott Field.

They are old j type craft and have about 230,000 > cubic feet gas capacity each. The Goodyear Company is j equipped to construction the world’s j largest ship at its Akron plants, of- j flclals say, although the motors will j not be made here. Goodyear officials are seeking rs-1 tablishment of a government air j mall landing field near Akron, | alongside of which they plan to !o-! cate a Zeppelin field which may he \ used for a testing ground for rigid j aircraft or for a transcontinental landing field equipped with mooring masts for Zeppelins.

Ire ||j)| INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON HIRTEEN children homeward bound from school —rei- cently crawled beneath a sting of freight cars clocking the Belt line crossing at Blackford St. A railroad brakeman helped them. The cars were motionless. No severed limits were strewn along the right-of-way. So they reached home instead of the hospital or undertaker. But children who have once so negotiated a blockaded crossing will try again. When perhaps a brakeman isn’t around —and when cars aren't motionless. With usual results. Childish bodies are too soft for freight traffic. The incident was reported to railroad officials. Yesterday they announced a sixty-day suspension for the brakeman. Railroad and public officials are working to cut down crossing accidents. Conferences are held. Mechanical safety devices are installed. Still safety remains largely a figure of speech. For the only effective measure to reduce crossing accidents is by individual training. Until caution is made instinctive —not conscious thinking. Caution can be made a habit—by teaching—like carelessness. And a good way to teach carelessness is to assist children to crawl be- ' noath freight cars—quiescent for ! the moment. Clash j —EORGE B. GASTON, Marion | j’l County grand juror, was art rested Monday evening, fol--1 lowing an argument with a police sergeant at the scene of a traffic | accident. An olderly woman was injured ; near his home, and an ambulance summoned. Pending its arrival the . victim remained In the street under blankets. The grand juror urged ; her immediate removal to the hospital in the police emergency. Tho sergeant demurred. The alternation and arrest fol- ; lowed in sequence. And the prosecuting attorney has ordered an investigation. For coun- ; tv dignity is ruffled when tho hand of a city myrmidon is laid on an au- • gust grand juror. Likewise the chief of police has ordered investigation. Probably if an ordinary civilian had been Involved the incident would have been closed In the routine police court manner. But when official dignities clash the sparks fly. The only important aspect of tho j affair —and the feature which start* jed neither investigation—was the I treatment of the traffic victim. Was ; she removed to the hospital in the most expeditious manner? AH the S rest is just the clash of official dignity. Feeders Railway begins operation ot motor busses from ThirtyFourth tit. on Capitol and Central jAves. And passengers may transfer jto or from connecting street cars without charge. Thus transportation is afforded * section that was—except for private I conveyances and smoking shoo j leather —as inaccessible as Tim- | buctoo. And the street car company takes 1 the plunge into the bus business. I Which seems logical. The street ! railway needs solid feeding in in | creased patronage. Which existing | lines won’t supply. And It has been too emaciated to stretch rails into new, sparsely settled territory. For such lines are always losing ventures at first. Busses are not. They skim light traffic profitably. For they are mobile and can he rerouted to fit ; needs. Rails are not mobile. If i paying traffic is not forthcoming a [ rail line can only shift Into bank | ruptcy. i So all street can wstems are | awakening to the possibilities of ibusses as "feeders.” They are begin ning to realize that the way to live with the motor bus is to marry It. Books mills is tho Bobbs-Merrill Company’s “book week.” And local bookstores feature tha volumes of this old, but vigorous publishing house. In Bobbs-Merrill this city possesses a great industry. Its products are not good to eat or wear. But they feed the mind And people who never visited In dianapolis feel an intimacy with the city, because of books made here. A city is not known altogether for the machines, clothes or food products It manufactures. Its lasting fame rests on products of intellect and art. Athens never made a motor car or canned a bean. Yel the fame of Athens will continue after more populous cities built around manufacturing plants are forgotten. Shoes, collars or steel rails give any city wide advertising for a time. But not per inanent fame. We make both motor cars and can beans. These and other products go to the wide world. They make the city prosperous and advertise it abroad. But the hooks of Bobbs-Merrill—-carrying the Imprint of this city—contribute to knowledge and intellectual pleasure. They are treasured. Such products do mors than advertise tha city—they maks it famous.
