Love at First Sight at a Barn Dance Brought Henry Ford and His Wife to Romance and Altar

Belief and Encouragement Spurred Husband to Success, By KEA Fervtee DETROIT, Mich.. Dec. 27.—1 t was “love at first sight" for Henry Ford! There was something about little Clara Bryant, who lived on a farm near Redford, Mich., that attracted Henry. Three years later the Bryant girl became Mrs. Henry Ford, ' destined to be the wife of one of the world's richest men, and herself probably the world’s richest woman. Thirty-nine years ago at a barn dance near Dearborn. Mich., Ford, then a tall, thin, gangling youth, espied a small pretty girl with expressive blue eyes and long chestnut-colored hair. He obtained an introduction. They sat out two "square dances" to talk about his hobby—watchmaking. Bhe was sympathetic. He showed her a queer watch he had made. It had two sets of hands, recording both standard time and sun time. Fired lfis Ambitions She fired hip ambition*. Fhe had faith in him, he knew. And he fell in love with her there and then. “I knew only a few minutes after talking to her that she was the one for nv.” fA>rd said recently. “I was sure from the start. And it’s always been that way with me since She had faith. She was the believer. I never had a word of discouragement from her.” But Mrs. Ford didn’t fall in love with Henry right oIT the bat. It was nearly a year later. “He impressed me very much because he didn’t talk about the useless things which young men usually talk about,” she says in telling of their courtship. Says Henry Careless “I have always waited on him, and still do. He’s a careless man. “I don’t scold because I know his mind is full of bigger things and he’s not conscious of what he is doing.” Fhe warns wives against a “greed for cleanliness." declaring such an attitude carried to extremes will drive husbands out to the friendly club, where he can 1 drop ash"s where he will. The greatest hours of their romantic lives were the last fortyeight hours that her husband worked on h.s first automobile which was to carry them to fame and fortune. Forty-eight hours without sleep. Watched Success The second night Mrs. Ford sat up until 2 a. in., when the little car was finished and ready for a try-out. It was raining and Mrs. Ford threw a cloak over her shoulders and followed Henry to the small shop near the house. Ford rolled the car out into the alley and started It. It ran only a short distance. But it ran! One of the foothills of the mountain of success had been topped. I lonic-Roving Woman Home-loving and thoroughly unpretentious is this tremendously rich woman. Despite her millions, she dresses like any middle class woman. She cares nothing for jewels. In dresses the shades she likes are brown and blue. Mink and sable are her favorite furs. Mrs. Ford believes that good cooking is the biggest part of a woman's Job. That's her forte. ! Indeed she refused to have any ; servants around her house until a few years ago. She'" proudest of her apple pie. And Henry like-s it.. [(Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) ELECTRICIANS HAVE BILL Measure Would Require Examination by State Board.

Darrow, internationally famous criminal attorney, whose master pleading has aided more than 100 murderers to cheat death at the' hangman’s hands. Answering the question: "Are rrlndnais worth saving?” Darrow says: “It is first necessary to find out what is meant by the word ’criminal.’ Whether it means some person who has some anti social Instinct, or one who has been convicted of a crime. Question of Degree "Every >ne has both social and antisocial Instincts, and It Is only r question of degree as to the extremes each way. "There are an infinite number of people who hove high stundlng, who are not worth saving, so far r-s the community is concerned. In fact, many who are called good people, are very injurious to the community. “Perhaps there are very few people whose death would make any difference to the community, and In that sense, they would not be worth caving.

If the time ever comes that the public considers that they are safo to he at large and they have been in prison long enough, the public, through their officials, will, no doubt, act, no matter who opposes it. "Very seldom a case comes before the pardon board that somebody does not oppose the release, and yet the law makes It obligatory that after a certain length of time prisoners In general must he paroled.
