Milan got place in the world when
Thomas A. Edison gained fame as the
wizard OF electricity and admitted that
the little city in Erie county, Ohio, was
his birthplace
When first Edison claimed Milan as
his own all Milan was proud Whenever
a Milanite visited Sandusky or any of
the more populous centers he immediate
ly "swelled up on himself" and when
other cities were boasting of their great
men Mr.. Milanite just grinned and re-
minded them that he came from Milan.

worried than any of the employees, was
Mrs. Edison.
While her husbands property was
going up IN smoke and flame she was
directing a large force Of his workers in
a task some of them were unable to un-
derstand. She herself rescued some OF
the papers and patents from the burning
office building after which, instead OF
urging the group, which had banded it
self about her, to help the other fire
fighters TO get valuable film records and
phonograph casts out of the buildings,
she hurried the men into EdisOn's pri-
vate office in his experimental laboratory
to rescue such things as experimental ap-
pRratus. paintings on the wall, few OF
which had great intrinsic value, and sew
eraI pieces of statuary in the room, to-
gether with his memoranda.
Why did she do it? Why did she i'm

to save these things? She answers for
herself and there is the eternal feminine

should be saved first in a fire." she says.

I thought certainly the laboratory would
also be wiped out. knew there was ap-
paratus in It on which he had been work
ing for years and that its loss probably
would AFFECT him more than the loss Of
all the more expensive buildings.
Its loss would have made him feel
that the work OF many years had been
wiped out almost entirely, and if any
thing could discourage him the loss of
this building would. And so l tried to
think of something that might make the
loss of this building a little lighter for
him. | decided on the spur of the mo-
ment that if after the fire l could sur
round him with the very things he had
grown accustomed to seeing in the office
where he did his work, he would forget
the great loss which would then be out
Of sight"
