The future of opportunity in the machine age is & rosy one in the eyes of Henry Ford and Mr. Edison. This optimistic agreement was ex- pressed in an informal interview by the automobile magnate on his sixty- seventh birthday yesterday and by the 83-year-old invenfor in his answers to the annual questionnaire submitted by newspaper men, Other points on which the two were in accord were that hard work is the paramount essential of success; that prohibition is beneficial; that business depression is of negligible gravity, and that the unemployment problem has no perfect solution. Culture in Machine Age. The general assertion that the ma- chine age is wrecking culture drew a strong denial from Mr. Ford. “The day of individual success is not over. There are a thousand chances where there was one in my day,” he added. Mr. Ford asserted that there is no such thing as overpro jfon. “If goods don't sell,” he said, they are not any good or are oo high- priced.” For products like cotton and ‘wWheat, he said, new uses must be found. ‘What this country needs, Mr. Ford continued, is more bathtubs and water “with a kick in it.” “What do you mean by kick?” & re- porter asked. “Just get dry enough, and good pure water has plenty of kick,” he replied solemnly. Refers to Bolshevism. ‘When Bolshevism and the congres- slonal investigation of Communism were mentioned, Mr. Ford chuckled. “Gosh,” he said, .“they were out at our place the other day and found that ‘we treat the Reds so well that there is no chance for trouble.

STOLEN PROPERTY | naval air station, Anacostia. They ar-| ; ] | RECOVERED IN RAID Police Arrest Two and Are Seeking Two Others in Air Station Thefts. After four months of investigation, police last night executed a series of ralds in Southwest Washington to re- cover approximately $2,000 worth of Government_property stolen from the | rested two women for receiving stolen property and obtained warrants for two men believed to be connected with the thefts. The officers did not confine their ef- forts to land, as two houseboats, an- chored in the Anacostia River at the foot of South Capitol street, were searched and were said to have revealed a large part of the stolen s. The raiding party, consisting of Sergt. J. E. Fondahl and Policemen J. E. Ben- nett and M. Caussin, entered two homes in the 1800 block of Half street south- west, recovered some property and ar- rested Delia Hunt and Susie Jackson for receiving the goods. They were ar- raigned before Judge Robert E. Mat- tingly in Police Court today. Both re- ceived suspended sentences and were placed on probation, as they had no criminal records. The police reported “working on” the mysterious disappearance of thousands of dollars’ worth of clothing, silverware, bed clothing and dishes from the air station since April. Warrants were ob- tained at Police Court for Richard Hunt and Richard Collins, who live on house- boats. Police have been baffled over the way the property was taken from the air station, as none of the suspects worked for the Government or were ever seen on the premises. However, they d clared that many more raids and a rests will follow in the mext few weeks, in which they hope to recover more property. Most of their information gathered so far has been received from persons who “tipped them off” to the whereabouts of a large portion of the goods. On one of the boats the officers found a woman, whom they subsequently charged with vagrancy, believing she had nothing to do with the thefts. Her young daughter, in a half-starved con=- dition, according to the police, was turned over to a welfare society. Police recelved the co-operation of several men at the air station in mak- ing the arrests. Water buffalo are used in Hawali In cultivating rice. JULY 31, 1930.
