It is very difficult these days to excite
the imagination of Detroiters with stor-
ies of "phenomenal commercial suc-
cesses," inasmuch as such achievements
are universal in this great dynamic city,
and especially since the greatest success
drama of the ages, that of Henry Ford,
was staged here. But the world still de-
lights in hearing of the rapid rise of
progressive and enterprising industrial
establishments. The announcement of
the removal of the W. J. Baird Machin-
ery Co. to its new quarters attracts our
attention to one of the most rapid suc-
cesses that has occurred in Detroit dur-
ing the last decade.

"Of all the Allied diplomats, it would

a movement of international rather than
Russian national significance.

Save the Dodd for Baby

On Friday afternoon, hl arch 8, the
lavish Women's Club and the Twen-
tieth Century Club were hostesses at
the Museum of Art, where an exhibi-'
tion of posters for the registration of
women is now being held under the
Detroit division WOIllell ' S committee
of the National Council of Defense.

the place of "phenomenal successes," this
six-year rise from obscurity to promi-
nence in industry is truly wonderful.
But the meteoric rise of the W. J.
Baird Machinery Co. is not due to acci-
dent or "blind luck." It is the logical
result of the keen intellect, practical ex-
perience, thorough understanding, and
genial personality of its president, Mr.
W. J. Baird, a man young in spirit and
young in years. The story of his re-
markable success negates the oft-re-
peated superstition that success is de-
pendant on a series of academic degrees.
Mr. Baird received his training in the
thorough school of practical experience.
"It is usually called a 'hard' school,"
said Mr. Baird, "but I found it most
enjoyable and interesting." Mr. Baird's
life history is as brief as the period of
his success. He was born in Scotland,
41 years ago, of that resourceful and
splendid Scotch-Irish stock. He came
to this country with his parents when he
was five years of age. He set out on
life's journey on his own responsibility
at the tender age of fourteen. For
twenty years lie developed his technical
knowledge and skill as a mechanic and
engineer in various establishments in
Detroit, one of which was l'arke-Davis
Co.

The hope of America lies
in its babies. The tender gen-
eration will inherit merely
what you wish it to have—and
you can give it the boon of
health, the chief treasure of all.
Make yours a healthyhappy,
baby and you will be laying
the foundation for a healthy,
happy man or woman. Surely
you begrudge nothing to your
loved one—and you can af-
ford the things that will pro-
tect it best. On this page are
a few suggestions that should
interest you. At least, read
them carefully,
