EDSEL FORD PREFERS LINCOLNS TO FLIVVERS ' T ANARUS"" Son of Automobile King Does Not Share Father’s Views About Less Expensive Things. '

DETROIT, April 22.—What about Edsel? Ask. Lut don’t expect to learn. Heir apparent to the richest roan in history, Edsel P’ord is even more of a pubHc mystery than his father, Henry. How surprisingly little is known of him became evident here during the period when Henry Ford was suffering from automobile crash injuries. What would this 33-year-old youth do with the greatest manufacturing organization the world lias known? Detroit was Rome, awaiting in an ague the son of Caesar. And now that Henry Ford's death was as exaggerated as Mark Twain’s own, has shelved but not solved the question. Heads Ford Company As to Edsel Ford's character there are little more than clews. He has been president and treasurer of the Ford Motor Company for years. That this fact is so little known might

mean that he lacks the executive ability that, in twenty-five years, raised his father to fame and fortune. It might mean, on the other hand, that he has merely been overshadowed thus far. It is said here that Edsel has long wished to manufacture a sixcylinder car. True or not, it is certain that his father lias refused to listen to any such proposal from any one. It is said that Edsel takes far more pride in the manufacture of the big Lincolns than in the manufacture of flivvers. The only thing certain is that Henry Ford is seen driving a flivver much more often than is Edsel. When Henry goes Lincolning ]*e is accompanied by a strong-armed Individual, politely referred to as a chauffeur, who wears a slouch hat, tan shoes and blue sun spectacles.

Edsel is often seen with a chauffeur in livery. Wife Wealthy Mrs. Edsel Ford, niece of J. L. Hudson, was independently wealthy before she met Edsel. She holds, it is whispered, that money is made to spend. Edsel Ford and his wife live in a grand town home in Detroit. They apparently don’t care much for Henry's simple life in Dearborn, even when softened by a million-dollar mansion and a 6,000-acre estate. When the Prince of Wales visited Detroit, Edsel Ford threw a princely party. He is young, healthy, full of spirits and believes in a good time Mother and Father Ford are said never quite to have become accus tomed to this. This chief parties of the <TTd folks are old-fashioned dances in the Dearborn laboratory buiTcfing. Somehow you can picture Henry Ford teaching the daughter of a Dearborn policeman how to dance a Virginia reel, but Edsel and wife don’t quite fit in. Nor can you very easily fancy Edsel some day taking great pride in the fact that he still grows turnips and onions on the same farm his grandfather onced owned. What They Buy Henry Ford buys little red schoolhouses, but Edsel buys oil paintings by old masters. It is said that Edsel

fails to get along with some of his father's choice executives. But, here in Detroit, you can hear almost anything about the Ford Motor Company. Whatever else, Edsel Ford has had the stamina and courage, de- # spite his opportunities, to keep out of the public eye. There are probably a hundred photographs available of the father for every one of the son. That an American prince could keep so entirely away from the spotlight is something to think about. BOY, 18, A PROFESSOR Russlmi Attained Highest Honor Possible in Examination. B’l United /’rrss MOSCOW, April 22. —A mathematical marvel, a boy of 18, has been appointed a full professor at the University of Tashkent. His name Is Nickolas Nazaroff. He applied for admission at the Moscow University when he was 10 years old, but the college authorities refused to accept Ills enrollment. In a special examination, however, he convinced them of his fitness and he graduated with a suntma cum laude degree, the highest attainable honors, when he was only 14 years old.
