Edison's Son Explains Why Electric
Wizard Has Not Tried to Improve
His Hearing.

The only reason Thomas A. Edison
has not attempted to invent an appa-
ratus for improving his hearing is be-
cause he finds that his deafness aids
his work. So said Charles Edison, son
Of the electrical genius and general
manager of the Edison industries, at
the annual field day Of the Edison en-
ployees the other day. according to the
New York World.
Father feels that he Is better or
without his hearing, because II he
could hear well he would often be dis
tracted by what he heard" said the
son In answer to a question.
The Edison plant has ceased govern
ment work, Mr.. Edison said, since the
armlstlce, and his father Is now giving
all his efforts to improving his prod
ucts. Much Of his time IL being devoted

hundred and eiehty-one, and the defen-
dant has resided in the city of Washing
ton and District of Columbia since Deem

Sewing Chevrons

MY fingers are positively calloused
from sewing" remarked Agnes Hope,
as she piled her needle over brilliant
rCd and green division emblem for q
waiting soldier.
"And mine," supplemented her Sis
ter worker, 81 thought we were done
with this sort Of work two years ago."
"Oh-no, dear, peace is fully as ex-
citing as war nowadays. and provides
even more work for the Red Cross, I
should say" Agnes said, wisely, nod
ding her prettily capped head.
The two girls with half-dozen 9TH
ers were dressed In the soft gray uni
form worn by the guides in the big
base hospital on Long Island. They
came through the Red Cross organiza-
ton to act as guides for visitors who
might wish to visit their boys In the
many wards Of the great institution.
But the work of sewing on chevrons
for the discharged patients as they
came into possession of the complete
new uniforms the government provid-
ed for them when they were able to
leave became too heavy for the regu-
lar workers and the guides were press
ed into this service.
ut seems to me it must have taken
all the creative energy of young staff

these emblems, Agnes" Louise ven
tured, as she picked up bizarre SYM
Dol which had white streaks dashing
from 1t In every direction. "Just look
at this one, for instanceW
Agnes smiled. ut must be some ra-
do division" she replied.
There was line of soldiers waiting
so the girls kept on sewing busily.
Each girl was engrossed In her own
musings as she sewed on these EN-
blems as the last duty she could per-
form for the lads who had suffered In
battle for them and theirs. Some of
the discharged patients were pale and
unsteady; others seemed entirely well.
The Red Cross workers had learned
to feel an especial interest I'm each and
every one of them and babe them all

Agnes could not take her mind en-
tirely away from the memory of sol
der who had smiled at her two days
before when she handed him his over

II took the liberty of bringing It
back to-you," he corrected
"And I'll change 1t as soon as l fin
tsh the one I'm sewing on now. Come
with me-"
Harold followed her and was soon
standing beside her while she ripped
out her former stitching and was
readjusting his division chevron. His
service stripes and his one wound
stripe remained as she had placed
them on his sleeves.
While she sewed, he told her of how
his mother had died while he was in
the service, Of how she had been all
he had in the world and Of how lonely
II seemed to him to be returning home,
to the old office, the old circle of neigh
bors, the old life-without her.
Must you return" Agnes asked.
"Yes-my business, the business my
father left me. is there. But am re-
naming in New York for week or so
until-until-"

Agnes asked. "And feel more nearly
able to take that long inland trip2"
Sergeant Moore nodded, but not con-
vincingly. "That's part of It," he ad-
mitted.
Agnes looked down at her sewing.
And the rest?" she asked.
IL wanted to see II perhaps

blem furnished me with what I inter-

But-you seemed different. II won

would let me come to see you, per-
haps." 1t was long and difficult
speech for Harold, but he felt that 1t
was vitality necessary, as the last few
stitches were being put into his bless
ed chevron.

you and put you In front Of our big

added softly. "Come home with me

don't mind If she cries llttle-the
sight of the uniform and your youth
may make her remember so poignant

"YOur brother was killed In battle7"
he asked gently.
Agnes nodded.
And after awhile, when she had fin-
Ished sewing, she took the pale young
soldier home to her mother.

have been prOpinqulty, hut In time the
soldier took the place Of the boy who

Schools Of Dunkeruua.

One of the things that deeply i'm
pressed the company Of Journalists
from some twenty different nations
who recently visited Dunkerque In a
party was the story of the public
schools. Dunkerque, although It es-
capped occupation, was under constant
bombnrdment; the enemy at one time
and another had the city under fire
by land, sea and air, but, except for
q short time in the beginning when the
buildings were used for war purposes,
the schools Of Dunkerque, like those
Of Reims, continued In session, and
new schoolhOuses were built. When
ever the city was bombarded, the pu-
pills, big and little, marched to the Gel
lar In orderly procession, and some
times the entire session was held there.
II schOolhouse was partly shattered
It was repaired at once, and school
promptly resumed; nothing, In short
was allowed to interfere with the CON
tlnulty Of the schools of Dunkerque.
