One day when Wall Street was thinking that the world was going to the dogs, Carle dropped in on this Yankee manufacturer and found him very serene. They dined together, and after din ner the talk turned to world business conditions which, says Carle, "seem to have eliminated prohibition from con versation, so that there is that much to be said in favor of depression at least" The cranberry man said: "During the war I was making cranberry sauce and we were not able to get sugar except at an exhorbitant price. Every one in the industry said we had better go out of business because we had to have sugar to make cranberry sauce, and sugar at thirty cents a pound would stop sales. "I went into a huddle with myself that night and came to the conclusion that I would let the customers decide whether they would buy cranberry sauce made with- thirty-cent sugar; that I had just one job in the world and that was to run my business, and I was going to let the world take care ? ? i - l? ? of itself, and every one else tajce car? ? of himself, and I was going to figure how I could take care of my business and solve the problems each day as they came along. I did not think I was big enough to help or harm the world's progress, but I did think I could help or harm my own business." One thing which makes this depres sion seem more discouraging than others is the fact that all countries have been so closely knit together. In other periods of slow business we in the United States did not worry be cause the coffee market was bad in Brazil or the corn plaster industry had collapsed in Timbuetoo. We had our own troubles to fight. This year our newspapers, through their truly wonderful news gathering forces, have brought us all the liad tid ings from everywhere. The result is that the average American business man is going around trying to carry the troubles of the whole big world. I may be all wrong, but my idea about the other countries is that they are all having serious difficulties, just as we are, but in every one of them there is a solid backbone of people just like you and me, hard working, sen sible men and women who have their homes and families^ who do not want to see the social order overthrown and who are doing their invidual best to solve their own problems. Ultimately, I believe, this silent ma jority will win. In the meantime, when ? anybody comes into my office to discuss world conditions, I courteously ask to 5e excused.. I am trying hard to work out my own salvation. , If everybody in the world does that the world will be saved.

W. ^ Moye, presiding. The program of this meeting, which was the last of a series basted on a study of India, was in the form of a dramatization, "These Be of India's Household." It was presented by the following ladies, in native costume, Mrs. Loasie Taylor, Mrs. T. G. Rey nolds, Mrs. George Windham, His. P. E. Jones and Mrs. H. L. Barrett.

Sound Mstfca Picture Feature of Ex hibit Arranged/fey Local Dealer A sound motion picture graphically j portraying the story of the Ford Mo tor Company and its widespread ac tivities will be exhibited free of charge in a special Ford exhibit to be held at the Pollard Auto Company show room Friday, June 12. The show will be open to the public from 12 noon to 10 p. m. He picture, "A Tour Through the Ford Factory," will show the gather ing of raw materials, their arrival at the Rouge Plant in .Dearborn, Mich., and the numerous interesting stages through which they pass in the process of making Ford cars and trucks. It is, in short, an education in the eixent and meaning of modern volume production. While an unseen voice explains each sdene, the audience is taken on a tour of the plant,. through the great blast furnace building where ore is con verted into iron; in the open hearth building where the iron become steel and is poured, a white hot liquid, into molds; into the blooming mill where the steel ingot? are made into bars; and into the rolling mill in which the long bars of white hot steel are reduc ed to definite sizes. Forty kinds of steel, each of a composition to serve a definite purpose, are used in the Ford car and truck. The picture shows also the manu facture of glass in an endless un broken strip, a process developed by Ford engineers; the machine shops in which parts for the car are wan ing with its gigantic presses; and the coke ovens snd other units in which by-products are recovered to the ex tent of millions of dollars annually. Throughout the picture one sees lit erally miles and miles of conveyors which take much of the manual labor off the back? of men. There are con veyors carrying newly arrived mate rials into the plant, others taking parts from one building to another, and, of course, the final assembly line, that famous conveyor on which the parts are put together to form the completed car. In addition to the picture, there will be a representative line of Ford cars and trucks and display boards containing car and truck parts. The cars alone are well worth a visit for they include body types to suit any taste and to meet any oc-^ casion. Particularly attractive are /Jo Invta Mrs in which the UDhol stery appointments are of a kind and quality usually found in more expen sive automobiles. All the body types are featured by the Ford's new beauty of line and color. The dteep radiator, the wide, generous fenders, and the graceful, sweeping lines of the bodies contrib ute to a pleasing whole. The cars may be obtained in a variety of col or combinations.
