He has not the slightest notlon of building of a third party. And he is not a candidate for public office—for | the present. These are salient points brought out in an “authorized” inter- view in the forthcoming Aug. 4 issue of Colller's Weekly with the motor car manufacturer, reported by Charles W. Wood. “I am not a candidate for any- thing,” Mr. Ford is quoted as saying: “I can't imagine myself today accept- | ing any nomination. Of course, I can- not say, and no intelligent man can say, what I will do tomorrow. There might be a war, or some crisis of the sort, in which legalism and constitu- tionalism and all that wouldn't figure, and the nation wanted some person who could do things and do them .

Geneva, Aug. 1.—Financial difficul- tles ara expected to prevent Switzer- land taking part in next year's Olym- plc games. The Swiss Olympic com- mitfee has appealed to the govern- ment for a loan undertaking to cover tralning expenses by public subscrip- tion. The government, however, is disinclined to grant the subsidy. The question of finance also pre- vented the Swiss marksmen from tak- ing part in the international shoot- ing contest at Camp Perry, Ohlo, in September.

There has been much dissatis- faction with the ordinance and police officlals, including members of the board of police commissioners, are wvery much opposed to the 35 vear| limit, instead of the 40 year limit ‘which has been recommended by the commissioners.

The city ordinance requires that a policeman must be on the supernum- erary force at least two years before he is eligible to appointment on the regular force. This means that a man ‘who s more than 33 years old has no chance to become a regular police- man, and In the opinlon of the com- missloners and others bars a man from the police force when he is just in the prime of life. It is thought that the reason the maximum age limit was made as low a8 36 years was bwcause the council- men did not wish te see a large drain on the police penslon fund, but the commissioners point out, In this case it would be better to change the pen- slon fund regulations rather than in- terfere with the efficlency of the po- lice department. . There are at the present time a number of men on the supernumerary force who are eligible in every way to appointmnt to the regular force ex- cept that when their two years are up they will have passed 35 years of age, and who, under the present ordinance will not be subject to promotion, It ® understood that several coun- cll members have expressed them- selves as of a different opinion on the subject since the situation has been pointed out to them. Chairman David L. Dunn of the board of police commissioners says the board has several very good reasons why the age lslsmn should be 40 years rather than gle Test During Year.

Mr. Ford said that politics was in- vented before the scientific era and advanced the opinion that some day the industrial organism might absorb the political organism. Politicians, he sald, get along largely by bluff and by finding out what people think they want and promising it to them. “You can’t bluff much in modern industry,” the interviewer quotes him. “You may ordain a man to be a Bishop but you can’t ordain him to be an electrician. In order to be an elec- trician he must find out for himself just how electricity acts."” Labor Unions' Views Labor unions are pronounced by the motor car magnate to be “a great scheme for interrupting work,” and “speeding up loafing.” He cited the coal business as an example of how the unions and the financiers work in co-operation to deny the consumer coal at a reasonable price. “President Harding is doing as well as can be expected, and Congress has not yet marred the design of the uni- of the L) “Thirty ~five years on the highways of the world that’s why you can trust Dunlop tires™ S TIRE merchants, we know who gets hit hardest, when a tire fails to stand up.
