Great Inventor When He Is Busy
at His Experiments.

Thomas A. EdIson's favorite pur-
suit is chemistry. Even as Il boy
telegraphist getting his first start to-
wards n career, this inclination was
manifest in his experiments with bat
tcrles and electric devices, and II still
remains his greatest pleasure, observes

His new laboratory Is splendldly

ranging through all the kingdoms of
matter from lanthanum TO sharks

30 years standing, encouraged from
time TO time by prizes for new addi-
tlons offered by the inventor to his
men.
His own laboratory table Is never,
in any circumstances, allowed TO be

Hello Profanity.

The rule Is strict against using pro-
fane language when talking over the
telephone. A telephone experiment
has proved failure In Lynn, Mass.
The manager noticed that wrong
number" calls were frequent, and he or
dered the hello" girls to call each digit
separately and to insert the word
dash after each one. The method
was slow, but the climax was reached
when a Lynn man was in n hurry to
get Boston newspaper office. He
called for Beach 5000" and heard a
sweet voice at Central" say Beach
three, dash, oh, dash, oh, dash, oh,

That netted the Lynn man and he

PLENTY OF JOBS.

Peoria, H., was for half a century
the whisky-manufacturing center Of
the United States. Its five great distil-
leries, the largest in the world, fur
nished 35 per cent of the whisky of the
country. They used up $4,000 bushels
of corn daily and employed 1,275 men.
When these plants, on September 8,
under the federal food control law,
ceased operatiOns-so far as the max
Ing of beverage liquor is concerned
did these 1,275 men face a jobless fq-
ture? Not at all. Other manufactur-
ers eagerly snapped them up. A lead
ing business man Of Peoria said to
Chicago reporter: "There is place
for every one of them in the tractor
factories and other industries. We can
use every ounce Of coal the distilleries
have been requiring and are glad to
get It, Peoria will never know that
the distllleries have been closed"

QUESTIONS FOR AMERICANS.

Here are few of a long list Of per-
tinent questions propounded by Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa during the debate
in the United States senate on the pro-
hibition amendment:
"Why do we prohibit the boys In the
army and navy from having booze and
permit those who remain at home to
have It?
''If liquor is bad thing for the boys
In the trenches, why is 1t a good thing
for those at home?
"When they are willing to die for US,
should we not be willing to go dry for
them?
..When the food controller asks ev-
eryone in the country to conserve the
food supply, why must the food supply
going into beer be excepted?
"If more foodstuff goes into beer
than into whisky, why do we prevent
foodstuff going into whisky and permit
1t going into beer?
"Sixty per cent Of the nation, terri
torlally, Is dry. Are not the feelings Of
the people living in that territory en-
titled to any consideration?
"If the beer drinkers are going TO
rebel unless they get their beer, will
the temperance people rebel unless they
get prohibitionP
"Why do not the temperance people
claim that they will rebel also? The
temperance people will be for the na-
tion no matter If beer and whisky be
forced on them. Their patriotism does
not depend on having their own way.
"1f some one were to take as much
foodstuff as goes into booze and dump
1t into the sea, what would the people
of the nation say?
"If someone should advance the ar
gument that this was necessary in or
der to appease certain people who be-
lieved in dumping foodstuffs into the
sea, and that If they did not do It 1t
would arouse riots, would we accede
to their requestT

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, an
opponent of prohibition, voted for the
submission to the states Of the prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution. La Follette's Magazine ex-
plains the senator's apparent incon-
sistency thus:
Senator La Toilette said that while
he was opposed to prohibition he rec
ognized the right Of the people to set
tie all questions by the referendum,
and for that reason he voted for the
resolution"
The action proclaims the Wisconsin
senator loyal to the principles Of true
American democracy and we, the peo-
pie, commend it to every senator and
representative in congress.

FIRST AID TO THE ENEMY.

The Baltimore Sun, an anti-prohibi-
tion journal, recently called attention
to serious conditions in ship-bullding,
due to drink. Work in many of the
Big shipyards is retarded, it says, be-
cause employees are Hanging about
saloons and soaking rum into their sys-
TENS, and, as result, either staying
away from work for days at a time or
turning up unfit to handle their part

dustry. They weaken the efficiency Of
the whole Industrial machine"

drink traffic is furnishing first aid to
Germany. At the behests of the liquor
Interests our government is playing
