FIRST ISSUE OF
FORD’S PAPER
IS OFF PRESS
Dearborn Mich.—The first issue of
Henry Ford's newspaper the Dear
born Independent, which has made its
appearance, shows that Mr. Ford's
own page will be a big feature. He
says the aim of the publication ‘•will
be to point out to its readers the op
portunities that lie everywhere about
them, and advise bow they may be
used to their best advantage."
-Successful persons often say that
opportunities are just as plentiful as
they ever were, but they don't tel!
you what they are where to find them
or hew to use them,*' the paper says.
-Therefore the object of this paper,
and especially this page, is to go
straight to the point and not deal in
glittering generalities that mean noth
in?.
-However meuh we have been able
to bo there is still so much to be done,
so many new opportunities to be de
veloped. that no cue Heed despair of
a chance to do something worth while,
-Opportunity? Why. opportunity is
the cheapest and most plentiful of all
our treasures. Like rich virgin soil,
it only waits to be found and used.
"This paper exists to sp-ead ideas,
the best that can be found. It aims
to furnish food for thought. It de
sires to stir ambition and encourage
indeoendent thinking.
“I have never pretended to*" be a
writer or an editor but I can talk
with plain Ame-icans in a way that
we can understand each other.
"We are in great need of new de
velopments in indust-y today for
many reasons. During the war we
found many leaks in cur industrial
system. We found many businesses
which the government described as
"nones sentiaf."
“A business that makes nothing but
money is a poor kind of business.
Every business ought to contribute
to the daily progress of the world.
••I would rather hear that a man
made a million blows than that he
made a million dollars.

“When money ceases to be the sign
of a man's usefulness to his fellow
men or the promise of still greater
usefulness to come there is mighty lit
tle satisfaction in it, no matter how
large the amount may bfc.
“Money never makes men. It does
not even make them over. But it
leaves them free to reveal what they
really are. to unmask their character.
We sometimes hear it said that a
man’s money has made a fool of him
No, it only gave him opportunity to
prove that he always had the folly in
him."
SLEEPING ROOM
SCARCE IN PARIS
PARIS.—Paris, being the* political
military and economic and every oth
er kind of centre in the world, looks
it—and costs it.
Hotels are jammed to the roofs. By
the end of November bathrooms were
being used as Sleeping quarters. Dus
ty storerooms were ocened up. cot
thrown 3gainst the wall and $3 a day
collected for such sleeping accom
modations. Restaurants and cafes are
always crowded to caoacity during
lunch and dinner hours, with food
prices steadily mounting.
Reasons For Shortage.
One of the reasons for the short
age of hotel soaee is the requigiting
of several of them by various govern
ments wante anything all it has to do
is go get it. Therefore, when the
Americans wanted a complete hotel
in which to house the peace delegates
and their parties they just told the
French about it. The French then re
quisitioned the Hotel Crillon on the
Place Concorde, and everybody there
had to move.
The Hotel de Coiisin, adjoining,
which has been used by the Red Cross
also was taken over by thc Ameri
cans. The solid block along the Place
Concorde, running from the Rue Roy
ale, is consequently a real bit of Am
erica now put down in France.
The Hotel Meurice, a few blocks up
the Rue Rivolj, also is much Ameri
can. As a matter of fact there are few
hotels, except those requisitioned by
other governments, that do not have
strong American tone.
British Headquarters.
The Hotel Majestic is the British
mission headquarters. The Hotel As
toria also was requisitioned by the
British.
The Belgians occupy the Hotel Lu
tetia, on the left bank of the Seine.
In the meantime ail the large hotels
are^tuxning away feom-200 to 330 pros
pective guests daily, due to lack of
accommodations, American officers
in Paris on leave frequently spend
most of their first night in town dash
ingabout in a taxicab trying to find a
place to sleep.
It is expected that most of the work
in connection with the inter-allied con
ference and peace conference will be
done in Paris proper. The inter-allied
session will go down in history as the
"Versailles conference,” doubtless but
the meeting* at Versailles will be
more of a ”(?ress parade” nature. The

Salt Lake City Monument
One of the curious sights' pointed
out to visitors in Salt Liice City is
a $40,000 monument built in fcono^ of
seagulls. The memorial serves as a
constant reminder of an Incident that
the Mormons lock ^...ost as a
miracle. When the W&fmons first
settled in Utah they found.ihemse!vef
in danger of starvation because their
first crop was being‘destroyed .by my
riads of locusts. JiisY when it seem
ed that the Mormons v/ould be left
without food the seagulls which nest
