RD PASSES 68 - AT QUIET ESTATE anufacturer, in Pink of Health, Receives Greeting From Many. e P H a $1 the Associated Pres: » DETROIT, July 30.—Time, like for- fine, has been kind to Henry Ford. e So sald his friends today as the otor magnate obscrved his sixty- hth, birthday. Ford did not “cele- Wrate” his birthday, for it was “just &::tmr day” to him. Apparently in best of health and spirits, he spent post of the day in the gardens of his tate, Fairlane, at Dearborn, or in engineering laboratory of his plant Sjust across the road.” « Messages of grecting came to Mr. Word from various parts of the world. came frcm Thomas A. Edisol ; from Harvey S. Fire- ne, tire manufacturer, and from ggres of others. Edison and Firestone are Ford's closest friends. In reading Sm greetings, Ford probably thought other birthdays that brought him etings also from John Burroughs, !3 naturalist. % Expeditions Are Discontinued. s With Burroughs, Edison and Fire- ne he made many annual Summe &catlnn trips into unfrequented wood- places. When Burroughs cled something seemed to have gone from ese annual expeditions and they | were discontinued shortly afterward. s green trees ford said at the time; “He has gone where there are many green trees.” 2 The friends who raid that time had n kind to Henry Ford found plenty substantiation in the automobile aker's appearance. True, his face is avily lined, but it always seems to jave been so. The slender, wiry figure, straight carriage, alert footstep and g:rgefic movement, and the twinkle t seemingly never leaves his eyes, #old of excellent health and spirits. *Ford, who was past 40 before he Bulled himself out of obscurity as a flechanlcal engineer to become a figure " world prominence and financial suc- eess, does not worry about anything. 3n annual income that runs into many millions may account for that char- cteristic in some degree, but Ford him- f probably does not know the extent of his actual wealth. % “I am not interested in money, but | fn the things of which money is merely | symbol,” he philosopbized. ‘“The only ght use for money is to capitalize in- dustry. Huge Experimental Farming. | » At the moment much of the intense terest Ford devotes to everything he | ndertakes is being directed toward the | levelopment of a huge experimental 'ming project, which he believes | ultimately will result in the co-ordina- !ian of farming and industry. ® 'Ford was born on a farm not far | distant from Fairlane. Two county Aighways, over which hundreds of motor ears pass daily, converge at the point here the old farm is situated. The mestead is much as it was when Ford vas born there, excepting that the fcket fence is spotless white, the front wn is like a golf green and the entire i‘lzsemble probably is in better gondition an it was in 1863. 2 The farm is only a part of the hun- @teds of acres of land that belong to #Henry Ford, on the southwestern out- | §kirts of Detroit.
