Edison week will be celebrated
October 21 to 27. The custom OF
celebrating the anniversary of the in
vention of the incandescent light by
paying honor to the inventive genius
OF Thomas A. Edison. the father OF
the electric light, will be again car
ried out this year. More than a
million men and women are employ
ed in the vast industries built upon
and around Edison inventions. This
custom began when a group of the
Edison industries determined to OBJ
serve October 21, and some years
later other industries Joined in the
yearly celebration. A few years ago
1t was decided to devote a week to
the celebration and since then Edison
Week has been observed throughout
the country.
A greater number of persons will
celebrate this year due to the re-
markable success attneding the re-
search work of Mr.. Edison during the
last year. Chemicals which America
found herself cut off from due to the
war embargo placed upon materials
from Europe, produced a grave prob
lem in many big plants of the United
States. Substitutes had to be found
to take the place of ingredients no
longer obtained from Europe. This
state of affairs was brought to the in
ventor's attention as things became
1t was most vital that some
thing be done. Mr. Edison took mat
ters in hand. He began his research
work at the Edison Laboratories with
the sole purpose Of finding in this
country the necessary ingredients or
substitutes that were so urgently
needed in the industrial world. Again
Mr.. Edison demonstrated his sticka-
tiveness and tenacity of purpose

plot against the government alleged to
have been headed by Lieut.. Erwin
Frederick Schneider, of the German

German consul general here, and his
aide, Baron E. H. Won Setback, former

The authorities refused to divulge
the nature Of the alleged participation
of the army and navy officers in the
plot. They said all information on the
| case had been sent to San Diego and
Los Angeles, where 1t was understood
the conspiracy conferred.
At the time Schneider and Kasinger
were taken into custody, federal

Premier Kerensky addressed the dem

day in the municipal theatre, receiving
applause which came principally from
the less radical groups of delegates.
He spoke in forceful style, with the
air of challenging his opponents. The
address was largely a defense Of tt )
acts of the government during his pre-
miership.
NJ. Kerensky was interrupted fire.

one point, when the premier spoke of

although the government had forbid

cheers.

M. Kerensky, when he was able to
make himself heard, "but bear in mind

Ben Franklin Fire
Pumper in Use by
Athens Department

ATHENS, Sept. 2S.-There was a
fire on the main street of Athens the
other day which permitted one to see
the Athenian fire department in full
action. First came a huge tank Of
water drawn by horses. There is no
water from fire hydrants, for water is
very scarce and people are not per-
mitted to take baths. So the fire de-
partment brings the tank of water to
each fire, and the fire is held down as
long as the tank holds out
Back of the tank comes one Of the
venerable hand-pumping devices which
BENJAMIN Franklin introduced when
he started the volunteer fire organiza-
ions in America. Still the Athenian
fire department has good record,
mainly because Athens is built of
stone and cannot burn.
The day after the fire the huge tank
was seen on the same street laying
the dust, and it was explained that
the fire department was also the
street-sprinkling department.
