THe “cave- man” apparently was a huntsman of the Derobo tribe, and, in exchange for a good hunting knife which I gave him, showed us a pool of spark- ling water we. probably would not have found without him. ! The Dorobo lived in a cave high up crater in the world. In order to reach hl’ abqde he had to climb a large tree, swing himself out on a long limb that would bend down and deposit him close to the entrance of the cave. After, entering his cave there were i1 mussel shell or of a pearl oyster | Is precisely the same material as that | which composes the pearl itself.

Those who do see him ! have, as a rule, paid for the privilege in hours .and sometimes in days of waiting. If all the hours men have spent in waiting to see Henry Ford were added-together it would be in- teresting to know just how many thousands of years the grand total would represent. No king was ever {80 hegged about, none but the Grand Liama of Thibet was ever o fnac- cessible. Henry Ford would be a greater and wiser man if he were a by mixer and listener. An ingfilated mind in an isolated body migsés much in this world that is regfly worth Ford? He wil see you, but not to talk | about the thing you wish to talk about, but to tell you something he has to say to you. You fénce and jockey in a vain attempt to turn the conversation in she direction of the matter for which you have sought the interyiew. I recall, by way of illustration, an interview which twd men had with him at his own home. It was by ap- pointment, and was in.régard to a contribution to a church building fund. “What success did you have?” I asked one of them the next day. “We had a delightful visit,” he re- plied. “Mr. Ford entertained us and 0 led the cBhversation that we never got a chance to mention the church.” * X K X URING the war three men cams- all the way from New 'York to see him on camp recreational work. They had Insisted on an interview, and he had finally told them that if they came to Detroit he would see them. They came. He met them. away. It was a good sermon, if 1| do say it myself, but so far as I was {ever able to see it never fazed him. It came about in this way: Mr. and Mrs. Ford were members of my parish. I was building'a new church, a gothic structure, that was costing considerable money. The building had been under way for some time and Mr. Ford had made no contribution toward the cost of its construction. This somewhat nettled certain of my parish. “What is the matter with your friend, Mr. Ford, that he does not help us out on this matter? Every one is giving up to the limit, and he, the richest| man in the parish, has done nothing.” This question and Statement of fact ‘were put up to me a good many times. Finally two members of my try, against my advice, decided to call on Mr. Ford and solicit a sub- scription to the building fund. They went, spent a pleasant evening with him, talked for the most part about ves- I almost-everything but the one thing on the things they love and valuc The buildings we erect are symb. of our pride in an affection fer the things inside. What a man thinks of his home Is revealed in the kind of house he builds around it, What a man thinks of his business is shown in the buildings he erects to house it. This man I have in mind was born with a love for mechanical thines. The power that makes them go is a thing which, to him, is worthy of a shelter as costly and as beautiful as he can afford to make it. The energy that throbs through the great factory he knows comes from the powerhouse, where the ponderous flywheels turn in comparative silence. The powerhouse is back of it all—that is why he made it the costly, beuatiful thing it is. “And that is why T am going to put all the money I can get into this church. It is the spiritual powerhous back of all the fine things men are ¢o- ing in the way of service. It stands for that which should be symbolized in costly and beautiful ways. And in that way men, who understand it and love it, will be glad to see it housed.” the scales of a fish called the bleak.
