WIZARD IS
HEARD FROM
Edison Says He Has Triumphed
In His Efforts to Re-
move Jinx.

owe now have all the rebellious
elements under control" was the
cryptic statement made by Thomas A.
Edison Saturday in signed address,
which was read to 500 men and wo-
men of the Edison Dealers conven-
ton, who iourneyed TO Orange, N. j.,
from New York to see the wizard.
Efforts to induce Mr.. Edison or any
of his lieutenants to amplify the state
ment were vain. His entire speech,
read by his secretary was as follows:
"They told me you had good con-
vention. There will be a good many
more conventions, but expect you
boys will always remember this one
because it happens to be contempora-
neous with the time when we re-
moved the Jinx from the record. We
now have ALL the rebellious elements
under control. Maxwell Zone of Mr..
Edison's lieutenants) has told you
how we all feel about the loyalty that
you have shown. You fellows have
been loyal and true and it makes me
happy to say that your loyalty is going
to be rewarded"

Interfered With Flag
Day Program.

The sixty flag-raisings in North
Christian, arranged by Supt. L. E.
Foster for Friday, were all carried
out according to program, except in a
few instances where the speakers
could not 90. The weather was ideal.
II. w. Linton and Rev. A. S. Ander-
son, assigned to Pleasant Green and
Easts, were unable to 90 and those
dates were not filled.
S. T. Fruit and Pettus White, as
signed to Walkers and Shiloh, were
disappointed in the car promised and
could no! 90.
w. II. Southall and Frank Bassett
were to visit Edwards Mill and Rose
town, but Mr.. Southall's car was
broken and could not be repaired in
time.
The six places not supplied with
speakers were all ready, and at some
the disappointment was keen. Prof.
Foster may make other dates for the
exercises.
The speakers who went out all
brought back fine reports. At many
places the teachers had prepared
special programs and orators were
heard by loyal and interested crowds,

and to organize the first five hundred
thousand of the new national army.
The total of these three forces will be

CREDITS FOR ALL ENLISTMENTS
The table from which the net quo
tas were compiled shows that all en-
listments in the national guard and
the regular army up to June 80 have
been allowed as credits
Contrary to expectations, the gov
eminent has allowed credit for the
total strength OF the national guard,
including all those men who were in
the service prior TO April l and who
have beeen retained. The figures
follow:
Total strength of the national guard
on April /, 1917, 1922.
Enlisted in the national guard be-
tween April and June 80, 1879.
Enlisted in the regular army be-
tween April and June 80, 1884.
Total credits allowed, 465, 1856.
This means that according to the
estimates of government officials, the
United States now has enrolled or
under arms approximately 467,00
men classed as war volunteers and
therefore constitute credits tobe al

The drouth, which was becoming
serious, was ended Saturday after
noon by hard rain, accompanied by
wind and hail. Other rains fell dur

wind storm broke over this section,
doing a great deal of damage to trees

been softened by previous rains and
the corn crop was fiattened cut in ma

Gardens in and about the city were
fiattened out but in the long run will

in all directions were split to pieces
and many Of them uprooted, great
damage being done.

White Hair at Forty Means
Peace
Peace

Ter hair is white as snow
n and she doesn't care. She
= = says she doesn't, anyhow,
and l believe her.
Her friends are always trying
to get her to dye it or to bleach it,
and one Of them wants her to wear
a Observation-Disclosures that
may be.
But she won't-she could if she
wanted to, but she just won't-and
her friends can't understand.
They think it would make her
look so much younger, and she
could wear such different kinds of
hats, and people wouldn't say:
Goodness! Why, she's old
enough to be my grandmother!
Her hairs as white as cotton"
But the woman with the white
hair just laughs and has her hair
washed as often as possible-she
says if it's going to be white she
wants it white, not gray or yell
lowy.
She told me about it the other
day.
"Isn't it queer" she said, "this
fad to look young?"
81 can understand 1t when a
woman's at the dangerous age
from thirty to forty. She's COM
peting with young women then,
and unless she looks young and
up to the minute they're going to
beat her in business, in any pro-
fession and in love-which is, after
all, one Of the greatest professions
in the world for women.
"But after forty-nO! don't
mean what's the use-l mean
what's the worry?
"When a woman gets to be forty
she has either arrived or she
hasn't-and won't.

and middle-aged game-isn't as
becoming to her as it might be.

Truth Always Real and Always Present
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATION
FOR
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
WASHINGTON

However imperfectly they have
been able to manifest spirituality
in their lives, Christian Scientists
believe this relation Of man to God
to be unvarying, orderly, and per-
manent-in short, scientific. If so,
it is real scientific truth and was
perceived and used at least 1900
years ago.
Moreover, the essence of this truth
is the oneness of God and man; that
they are one in the sense that Jesus
meant in his statement, 81 and My
Father are one"-one, as Mrs. Eddy
says on page 361 of Science and
Health, "as a ray of light
is one with the sum-" man not being
God but Godlike, the Image" and
"likeness" of God.
If this oneness with God of the
true men is what Jesus perceived
and demonstrated in His earthly life;
eliminating in His ascension-and
we believe it is-it furnishes the
justification for identifying the
atonement and "at-one-ment."
Thanking you for the opportunity
Il make this explanation, ! am,
Very truly yours,

Washington, Dec. 4, 1917.
Editor, The Times
Dear Sir: In a recent editorial in
spired by a correspondents employ
ment of a new combination word
reference was made to the use by
Mrs. Eddy of the combined word
"at-one-ment" in connection with
the Christian Science teaching on
atonement. From the accompanying
statement that such words "help to
pass away the time while we are
waiting for real scientific truth" a
reader might draw the implication
that the teaching of Christian Sci
ence on that subject was not IN &C
cord with such truth.
Real scientific truth has always
been with US, and its manifestation
in obvious form can wait upon moth
ing but the perception Of it. Chris
tian Scientists believe that real sci
entific truth consists in the under
standing Of God and Of the relation
of man to God which Jesus per-
ceived, taught, and put into practice,
God being omnipotent Spirit and
man, rightly understood, being spir-
itual, Godlike.

Treat the Public Library Right
By EARL GOODWIN.
Measured By Money Congress Seems Place Our Intel
Twenty-Five and Seven-tenths Cents Per Capita

For years Washington has asked Congress to allow
adequate for the Public Library and every year Con-
ress has pnched out barely enough to keep the library
going This past year squeezed out twenty-five cents and
mills for each of the inhabitants of the National Capt.
tai for library purposes
One of the faacies of the Congressional mind that the
Congressional Library is enough for Washington and this
would be true that institution public library The only
people who take books from that famous stack
bers of Congress- Cabinet officials, Supreme Court judges,
and few other extremely privileged characters The
ordinary individual cannot take home book from the Con
gressiona Library True if he ramps up Capitol Hill
and sits down in the reading he refresh his soul
with the great collection, but that little consolation to
who lives the Conduit road several miles away The
Conduit road well the people in half dozen
other neghborhoods should have the benefit of branch
libraries.
The Public Library is for the PUBLIC 1t survives and
does remarkable bit of work In spite of the sparse help
from the Congress which approprates for District needs
It's showing Of accomplishments away up the list of
cities but maintains this by sheer physical labor the
expense Of that greatly to be desired calm and stuos amo
phere which should be integral part Of every library
We want more branch libraries. Other cities have them.
Other cities would be ashamed to offer the public the meager
library offered here Library experts tell that branches
mile apart not OVERRIDING the possibilities Off community
but In Washington the Capital of the greatest nation the
library facilities lower In the scale than other city
Reducing these facilities to dollars and cents is
showing Congress how cheapy treated In Boston,
for instance the home of Congressman Gayan of the com
mittee which will report the District appropriation BILL the
city spent GIL cents last year every and
child for library facilities and circulated 50OOO books In
Minneapolis town about the size of Washington they spent
$20900 the public library which SO cents apiece for
everyone there and circulated 1,5OsOOO volumes
Anyone would hesitate to say that Washington is less
intelligent than Milwaukee, and yet in that far away
little burg the back of the great lakes they spent
$4,000 the public library and circulated 100000 books
which expense of 305 cents for every in Mil
waukee Portland Ore is not much of center. of learn
ing and yet they spent 56 cents apiece for library purposes
total of $56 for last year. and Pittsburgh laughed at
best circles spent 20 cents apiece its 100000 popu
lation for book circulating purposes
WASHINGTON WAS ALLOWED BY CONGRESS TO
SPEND ONLY $4,000, WHICH is 22.7 CENTS APIECE
This meant that Washington's H0TELESS population
was cut off from enjoying the full privilege of PUBLIC
library only 98053 volumes circulated less than in
any ordinary smoky manufacturing city of similar size
