Railroad men arc eagerly waiting to see what he offers, for Ford has a way of solving mechanical und or- ganization problems that have bat tled tho wisest men of the genera, tlon. “Tho troublo with the railroads is that they arc spending far too much for upkeep,” wns Ford’s diagnosis of their disease. He went out and bought two loco motives. He’s tearing them apart now in his experimental laboratories at Dearborn, Mich. Ho'a seeing just wherein they are so licuvy and cumbersome.

Ford plans to "jitney- izo” tho railways. Lighter engines, cais, roadbeds, bridges—with correspondingly light-' er costs of operation anil upkeep— those arc Ills aims. If Ford brings tlicso tilings pass it means that railrouda built in months instead Freight rates and passci will bo cheaper. Thus every commodity , cd by the railroads will bo cheaper. Tho business of the country will have to be reorganized. Ford docs not proposo to Abolish the steam cnglno in favor of tho gas-drlvon railway ear. K'o plans to co-ordinate tho two.
