　　although henry ford's name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by today's standards. safety measures were improved, and the work day was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or twelve-hour day common at the time. in order to accommodate the shorter work day, the entire factory was converted from two to three shifts.

　　in addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. the ford motor company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train specialized skilled laborers and an english language school for immigrants. some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts.

　　the most widely acclaimed innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and retain the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. ford explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. he also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced -- in effect creating a market for the product. in order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a decent home and demonstrate good personal habits, including sobriety, thriftiness, industriousness, and dependability. although some criticism was directed at ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees, there can be no doubt that, at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frightful ways, henry ford was helping many people to establish themselves in america.

　　chinese police have arrested two men suspected of stealing almost 51 million yuan ***6.5 million u.s. dollars*** in cash from the bank where they worked, the ministry of public security said thursday.

　　ren xiaofeng, 34, and ma xiangjing, 37, tellers at the handan branch of the agricultural bank of china in hebei province, were put on the country's most-wanted list on tuesday in connection with the theft on april 14.

　　police arrested ren in a rented house in liangyungang city of the eastern jiangsu province at 8:20 a.m. thursday, said wu heping, spokesman of the ministry of public security.

　　ma was arrested in beijing on wednesday afternoon.

　　"police have recovered some of the missing funds and are questioning the men," wu said.

　　sources with the jiangsu provincial public security bureau said police seized 3.4 million yuan when they arrested ren, who allegedly "did not deny" committing the crime during initial questioning.

　　"this huge loss of funds has exposed major loopholes in crime prevention, especially regarding financial institutions," wu said in a press conference. "as the investigation continues, we will learn how the suspects succeeded and we will try to mend the holes in our system."

　　he said he hoped the hebei case could sound a warning to the financial sector.

　　wu said the theft had even drawn the attention of central government leaders, and public security minister zhou yongkang had given instructions on investigating the case.

　　the police had offered a reward of 50,000 yuan ***6,400 u.s. dollars*** to anyone who could provide information leading to the arrest of the suspects.

　　at thursday's press conference, wu acknowledged the public's role in tracking down the two men but did not reveal how many people were in line for rewards.

　　"it has been proved that offering monetary rewards is a good method, but the amount will not be determined until the entire investigation ends," wu said, adding that the police are still trying to recover the rest of the missing funds.

　　the hardworking blacksmith jones used to work all day in his shop and so hard working was he that at times he would make the sparks fly from his hammer.

　　the son of mr. smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith everyday and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked."young man, why don't you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks, even if it is only to pass the time?" said the blacksmith. "who knows, one day, it may be of use to you."the lazy boy began to see what he could do. but after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

　　old mr. smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. he had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another country. it so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.

　　our young mr. smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. he told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop. the shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. and after a while, mr. smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.

　　"how funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a fortune. my trade is more useful to me than were all my former riches.".
