HENRY FORD STRONG
CHAMPION OF ‘OLDER’ MEN:
• DETROIT.—“You take all: the ex
perience and judgment of men over ■
fifty out of the world, and there
wouldn’t be enough left to run it.”
Thus did Henry Ford, the world’s
richest man, yesterday answer news
papermen’s request about the age
limit of successful business.men. The
occasion was his 65th birthday, and
the motor manufacturer spent most, of
fiis day at work. Hundreds of con
gratulatory telegrams, many of them
from people .he did not know, reached
. Mr. Font's .desk, where he was inter
esting, himself .in increasing produc-i
tion for the new, car.
, RSwww** his found, time to talk
briefly with a few newspapermen who
faurul.ihim. optimistic.
' 'kuna.: men of 65. perhaps, should I
notoaio too much running; and jump
inp.iVhfe said, “but that is no reason
wtv.jjthey. should not do as much work
with tithe mind as ever—and* better
work.”
“Isn’t there an age limit some-;
where?” he was asked.
‘Thaven't found it yet. You take
all .th® experience and judgment of
men over 50 out of this world, ami
"there wouldn’t be enough left to. run
itu. YVuogsters have their place and i
are necessary, but the experience and j
.judgment of men over 50 is what'
gives purpose and meaning to
ypunger men’s efforts..
“The world is as good a proposition
as ever for those who work or for
those who will analyze every detail of1
their work. There is no substitute
for work except more intelligent
work.”
Mr. Ford was frankly puzzled when
someone asked him how much money 1
#he had lost in making the change
from, the Model T to the Model AI
Ford.
“Who said I had lost anything?”'
ne as tea.
Then he was told that there had!
been . various published estimates of
the reduction of the Ford Motor Com
pany /surplus during-the past year..
“They don’t understand this busi
ness/', Mr. Ford said. “We can’t lose
what.doesn’t belong to us. The profits
-use made on 15,000,000 IV^odel T cars
wasn’t r»ur money. The public paid
it ta ns. Organized as the company
is, . we couldn’t do anything with it ex
cept use it to make a better automo
bile. That lias always been our pol
icy.. The change to the Model A just
happens .to be a bigger illustration of
it, .that’s all. Nothing has happened
to the Ford Motor Company but what
has always happened to it. We have
always plowed back our surplus into
our service. And we have always had
money left.
“The real profits of this or any
other successful company are in
creased experience, better methods,
more skilled workmen,, more highly
developed engineering brains. These
are .the best profits we gained from
the. lBJJOO^OOO Model T Fords—money
is..not the. best profit. And we took
those things and put them into a finer
automobile, better suited to the needs
of. the present and the future.
“The money profits, or surplus you
speak of, came from the people. We
look upon them simply as a public
ttust. which must be put back into
the manufacture of something that
will help men and women to better
and more productive lives..
“So far as the future is concerned,
E expect to do more in the next five
years than in the past twenty.’’
Such Is Life.
Man comes into this world without
fiis consent, and leaves it against his
wilL When he is little the big girls
Kiss him, and when he is big the little
girls loss him. If be is active in pol
itics it is for graft; if he is not inter
ested in politics he is no good to his
country. If. he makes a lot of money,
he is dishonest; if he remains poor, he
& a bad manager. If he needs credit,
he can’t get it; if he -is prosperous,
everyone wants to do something for
Him.. If.ha is religious, he is V hypo
crite. If he doesn’t go to church, he
is a hardened sinner. If he gives to
charity, it is for show; if he doesn't I
''•ive to charity, he is a stingy cuss.'
.f he is affectionate, he is a soft spec
imen; if he doesn’t care for anyone,
he is cold-hearted. If he dies young,
there was a great future before him;
if he lives to a ripe age, he missed his
calling. If he saves money, he ts a
tightwad; if he spends it, he’s a
spendthrift. If he has money, he’s a
grafter; if he hasn’t got it, he’s a
bum. So what the —l’s the use? —

CUPID LAVISH IN HURL
* ING HIS FATAL DARTS
NEW YORK.—Cupid has many
darts, the Bureau of Social Hygiene
has learned, and every modern mar
ried man and woman has had! at least
seven love hffairs.
The bureau pointts out that, of
course, there are couples that just
have one great love affair and that
there are ot others who have far more
than seven.
The figures were arrived at after
the bureau had interrogated 200 men
and women, all married, but not mar
ried to each other. The findings fol
low:
Total love affairs, 1,358.
Total for 100 men, 681 love affairs.
Total for 100 women, 677 love af
fairs.
Three women said their, lives had
been devoid of romance, even though
they were married.
Twenty-nine husbands reported
their love agairs had caused them to
stray from home, and 41 wives re-!
ported likewise.
Questioning revealed that women i
reached the apex of their amatory j
reactions hetween the ages of 16 and
20, and men between the ages of 21
and 22.
In the thirties neither sex showed
any preponderance of romance, but
women reached another romantic
peak in their forties.
The Irate Father—I can see right
through that chorus girl’s intrigue,
young man.
The Lovesick Son—I know, dad, but
they all dress that way nowadays.
