They nro not with him on the upper levels of suc- cess, but a number of them were with him when ho was making the climb. Granted that he has shown that he no longer needs them, he must admit that much of tho momentum that makes the going easier Is the stored-u- p energy of tho men who put every ounco jtiC strength In them Into the tug or tho early days. Ho may not need them now, but thero was a time when ho did. He has been very npt pupil. Ho Is quick to recognlzo tho merit of anothor man's Idea and to It.

It was a great team and every member of it do nerves great praise. At tho time the Ford plan went into effect an executive asked Mr. Kord why he did It.

Industrial Scavengers. TT THEN I entered the employ 'of f tho Ford Motor Company, Mr of great executives mentioned In the preceding chapter. I doubt if there over came together in any or ganization a body of men of greater ability, each In, Jils own line, or of finer Ideals or broader humatr sym- pathies. Certainly no group of men wero ever more devoted to tho best Interests 'of 'their \company or were more loyal to their employer. Loyalty, of course, w.ent for noth- ing. Mr. Ford derides It; seems to doubi whether such a' thing exists be tween employer and employee. Men work for money. I havo always felt It Is a pity that he falls to make use of some. of theso finer things in men does not recognize that thero is something which money cannot' buy. ' In addition to this group of great executives, thore wero hundreds of men In the second and third ranks of the organization who manifested the same enthusiasm In their work and the some loyalty toward their employer. In overy oneI met, with a few exceptions t6 be mentioned later, t found a deep nnd gcnulno Interest In tho wellbelng of Ford employees. How to humanize the Industry to a hUU greater pxtent was the subject upper- most on all occasions where Ford men mot-togeth- In small groups of employees, In conferences of execu- tives, in meetings of foremen, at ban- quets and tnanagrrs' conventions. Hut there aro men in every organ- ization to whom the higher things In llfo make no appeal. Thero wero some men of this kind In tho employ of Henry Ford. They nover under stood the better, finer policies of tho company, and nover ceased to rldl cule, crltlclso and misrepresent tho efforts, put forth to improve tho hu man relations within tlio Industry. To them tho moralo of the organization meant nothing. They also flouted loyalty on the patt of employees as being of no value. Thoy stoutly held that men worked for two reasons their wage and tho fear of losing their Jobs. There were nol many men of this sort In the Ford Company when 1 It. nut the few who were thore seemed to be In a closer and more confidential relation to Mr. Ford than those who stood for tho better things, and this In spite of tho fact that for the tlmo being he seemed heartily in favor of the humane policies then in force. Why he made familiars of men of this class was 'a profound mystery to thoio of us who saw only the other side the nobler and better side of him. In, an article by Mr. v. V. Wilson, which appeared some time ago In the World's Work, entitled \An Intimate Study of Lloyd George,\ there are to bo found these paiagraphft \Asked why he (Mnyd Oeorgo) sometimes ehooHrs nuch curious friends, hn would pioUibly answer that you cannot govorn mankind by Idealists, 'You nord rrttvrngn.in to clean your strec ,' is one of hl most Interesting maxima. Moyd Ucurun has alwayfc bom patUeularly. careful DEPARTMENT to select skilful scavengers. They aro In attendance on him everywhere, loyally doing tho dirty work of na- tional housekeeping. \Ho Is as much amused with t'jem as ho Is with any other menagerie. He loves tho unusual and grotesque. . . . No great man ever suffered fools moro gladly. And the foolB know It. . , . Lloyd Oeorgo\ is tho apotheosis of tho common man. Ho has tho common man's contempt for theory, theT common man's contact with facts.\ ' Henry Ford Is also particularly careful to select skilful scavengers on occasion when he deems their services necessary. They seem to furnish him with tho unusual ami tho grotesque, at which he docs not frown, if ho does not smile. If tho work of certain clerics In tho shop Is not wanted, why tell them so? timash their desks. That Is quito unusual, dcllclously grotcsquo and very amusing. A man , who ventures to wear a white collar In a shop deserves to havo his life made a burden. Eipenslvo tools of skilled workmen are scattered, over the floors. Foolish? Insulting? Hu- miliating? Not nt all. It takes tho conceit out of tho man who prides mmseit on his work. It prevents him getting Into a- \cozy corner1' und ad- miring himself over much. It Is curious that both Lloyd Geome and Henry Ford should soem to have lost faith in their early Idealism, Jyloya ueorgo having discovered that you cannot govern an cmplro und wenry 'ora discovering that you can- not govern a factory by idealists. Perhaps they aro right, I am simply recording me ract as an Interest ne one. Still, some of us will cling to the tneory that men respond more gener- ously to good treatment than to har8h, that men can bo led to do up to tholr fullest capacity, and thut all are hotter for being led than driven. It becamo cvldont na time wont on thnt either tho men who stood for tho hotter things In tho organization or the scavengers must go. Tho Ideals and policies announced In 1914-101- 5 became increasingly dimcult of en forcement. Rules for tho handling of employees were bent and frequently broken. Then camo the depression of 1020. Curtailment In production was followed by curtailment of construc tion work. Tho wheels stopped. So also tho incoming Htrcum of gold Staggering obligations were ahead. Men wero lot out from neeossity, That In itself merits no criticism. It was not what was done, but the man- ner In vo many instances In which men were discharged. If there is any act In industry that should bo done with the utmost consideration, it Is tho act of, dis charge, especially In tho time of crisis, It Is sufficiently painful and hu miliating to be brought face to fneo with unemployment und all that fol- lows loss of Income and of savings accumulation of debts, eviction and hunger without being kicked like a dog into it. nischurge and reorganization nro not necessarily dirty work. It Is the last sort of work In tho world to bo placed in the hunds of the Indus trial Ecavongers. Unfortunately there are employers who think otherwise. In times like the present, when thero are more men than Jobs, when often men aro driven In production to the point of exhaustion, the scuvenger, whose delight Is-I- io hrutnl methods that prevailed In the days of slavery. Is having his day In ninny an industry, It does not requlro many men of this sort to destroy a company's repu tatlon for Just dealing, cloud Its good name, and convert the good-wi- ll of labor and tho general public Into silent but effectlvo opposition. The law of compensation works In the handling of men In Industry, as in all other things. In the end we reap what we sow.

Guns.QAhe A OF \Set down my thoughts, not-your- s, if the tale is to be worth the pesaf HE wherefore of my privilege to write a truo, nt of the Princess Y a s -- mini's early youth is a story in Itself too long to tell here; but It came about through no pecu liar wlswom. I fell In a sort of way In love with her, and that led to opportunity. She never made any secret of the ocorn with which she regards those who singe wings at her flame. Men's passions are but weapons forged for her necessity; and as for genuine love affairs, like Cleopatra, aho had but two, and the second ended In disaster to herself. This talo Is of tho first ono that succeeded, although fraught with discontent for certain others. Her ancestry Is worth considering, slnco to that alio doubtless owes a good proportion of her beauty and ability. On her father's sldo she Is Raj put, tracing her lineago so far back that It becomes lost at last In fabulous legends of tho moon. Her mother was Russian. On that side, too, she can claim blood royal, not devoid of at least a traco of Scandinavian, bu- - trsyel by glittering golden h&lr 'ztzid eyes that are sometimes tho color of sky seen over Himalayan peaks. How u Russian Princess came to marry a Rajput King Is easier to un- derstand If ono recalls the sinister de- signs of Russian- - statecraft In the days when India nnd \warm sea water\ was tho great objective. In those days thero was a Prlnco In Mos cow whose public contluct so notori ously embittered his young wife, that when ho was found one morning mur- dered in his bed suspicion rested upon her. Sho was found guilty and con- demned to death. Then, a certain proposal was mado to tho Princess Son la Omanoff, and no one wondered that aho accepted. Less than a month after her arrest she was already In Paris, squandering paper rubles In tho fashionable shops. And at tho Russian ISmbassy In Paris Bin mado tho acquaintance of Mahu-raja- h Bubru Singh. Perhaps sho really fell in love \at first sight, as men said. But tho se- cret pollco of Russia were at her el- bow, too, hinting that only ono course could save her from extradition and her sentence. At any rato sho listened to the Rajah's wooing; and the knowledge that he had a wife at home already seems to havo given her no pause. So they were married in the pres- - enco of seven witnesses in the Russian Kmbassy as the rocords testify. After that, whatever Its sua- - plclons, tho British Government had to admit her Into Rajputana. And what politics she might have played, whether tho Russian graycoat armies might have encroached into those historic hills on tho strength of her Intriguing, or whether sho would havo seized the first opportunity to avenge herself by playing Russia false, are mnttera known only to the gods of unaccomplished things. For very shortly after tho birth of their child Ynsmlnl, Singh, her Maharajah, died of an acldent. When the American Blalnes, hus band and wife, camo to Stalpore In Rajputana and acquired the only vacant covctablo houso nobody was very Jealous, becauso the Blalnes proved hospltablo. It was a sweet little nest of a house, owned by a money-lende- r, who leased It to tho Blalnes on an eighty per cent, basts. The front veranda faced due east, raised nbovo tlu garden by an eight- - loot wall, an ideal place for sleep be cause of the unfailing morning breeze.
