EDISON PLANS TO PUT ALL HIS
employees TO WORK

West Orange, NJ. D., Dec. 11.-Em-
ployment for men and women thrown
out of jobs by the fire which de-
stroyed Thomas A.. Edison's gigantic
plant here. was the inventors main
problem today. When his workers
gathered about the ruins of the plant
he Immediately arranged to put all of
them to work, either in clearing up
the debris or in some branch of his
organization.
Edison has had but few hours
sleep in the past thirty-six hours, de-
voting his entire time to planning new
buildings, distributing his workers
and listening to reports from fore
men. He has decided that all new
buildings will be of concrete.
Careful estimates Of the damage
now place the total loss at $780,
900. Work of rebuilding is already
well under way. Henry Ford, auto
mobile manufacturer and close friend
of Edison, is working with him today
in the reconstruction work,

fragrant air, revelng in the sunshine,
almost answering back the laugh Of
the child who thrust a handful of
dandelions into my hand with the
question: do you love butter?"
When l reached the bathhouse 1
was in a mood to thoroughly enjoy
my bath. Even the sight of misguid-
ed women who were under the i'm
preston that they could eat every
thing their luxurious palates craVed,
take no exercise and be able to sweat
off accommodating fat in half hour
in the hot room of a Turkish bath, did
not move me to pity or laughter.
'They are trying to sweat fat poi
sons out of the body and l am trying
to eliminate poison of mind, l said
to myself

however, by that bath and massage
you can't be entirely unhappy when
you are perfectly all right physically.
By the time l had passed through
the hands of the rubber, the hair
dresser, the masseuse, the manicurist
and the pedicure and gotten to the
violet-buying stage, that Aunt Mary
had recommended, my quarrel with
Dick did not look nearly as vital as it
had when was lying on Aunt Mary's
bed crying my heart out.
When l arrived home the clerk told
me that "Mr Waverly has called you
up three times this afternoon"
l had only time enough to doll my
self up in one of my prettiest gowns
and pin the ViOlets at my belt when
Dick came rushing through the door
calling: 'Margie, Margie dear" an
swered: Eyes, Dicky," and rushed out
of the bedroom straight into his arms:
Pm a brute, Madge-just plain
brute" he said as he Rugged me SO
tightly l could hardly breathe.
"And Pm a cat-iuSt a plain cat.

relating to her the whole story of
the quarrel and the things that led up

Monday there is to be an important
meeting at the City Hall at l:3O in the
afternoon. II is called for the purpose
of taking steps to repair the steel bridge
across the Willamette by building a
new one.
State Engineer Bowlby has examined
the bridge at the request of the city
and county officials and prOnounces it
unsafe for average travel. Others who
have examined it and especially the
condition of the steel where it is under
the planking and at the piers confirm
this report most emphatically. 1t Is un-
doubtedly in bad condition and must
either be replaced or communication
with Polk county cut off, unless We are
willing to 90 back to the prehistoric
ferry
The present bridge and its predeces-
sOr were built by the counties of Marion
and Polk. the city of Salem also stand
ing in and paying One-third of the
cost, the counties each paying a third.
1t is presumed this arrangement can be
continued and it is for this purpose
largely that the meeting is called. Both
the city and county officials urge that
property holders and for that matter
everyone interested in the welfare of
the section served by the bridge be
present and make such suggestions as
they see fit to offer 1t is strongly
urged that Polk ounty be well repre-
sented so that some definite understand
ing may be reached that will be salts

the time and don't neglect being there,
