Thomas A. Edison. who will pass Tues
day his seventy-second birthday, en-
route to his plantation at Fort Meyers,
Fla. chatted with newspaper men on
the eve of his departure yesterday IN
his laboratory in orange. n. ].
Mr.. Edison, who enjoys rugged health,
h business optimist Among other
statements he suggested that Jobs Will
be found for fighters and workers home
from the war IL business men Will go
right ahead and not stagnate arairs
by waiting for lower prices.

replied to a question about his health.

Public Ready to Buy.
When asked about the problems OF
first thing to do is to find Jobs for all
the fighters and workers who helped 10
win the war This will be easy enough
n public officials everywhere Will re-
sumo making permanent improvements
and business men go ahead promptly

The buying public is hungry for goods
Of all kinds. / notice that Shedd OF
Marshall Field & Co. says that Decem-
Der and January were the two biggest
months in the history OF the retail dry
goods business, The purchasing power
OF the people is enormous and they have
absolute faith in the future. The only
danger Is the business man who THINKS
he is long headed and hangs back when
he ought to go ahead. There is such
a thing as being too shrewd and 100

"In Wall Street, the man who tries to
buy at the lowest point and sell at the
highest usually gets left. II Is the same
way In business. Readjustments IN
prices are already in progress, but the
man who lets his business run down at

The Ancient Lure

Football holds them as long as they can get out
to the field. The game has lure that only those who
have coached can ever know
Coaching has more of an appeal than playing
for the work Of building up football machine or de-
velopng its individual merit of directing it's team
play and outlining its strategy is of the most grip
ping of all undertakings.
There is nothing else just like it. Here you have
from fifty to one hundred young huskies from which
to build machine that must first be taught individual
play, and then moulded into organization which is
to be catapulted at rival machine in the nearest
thing that approaches war.
lhls football appeal has called big lawyers and
doctors from their work and has ured big business
men from their concerns to return as coaches
Except in rare instances, they can't give it up
They threaten to quit each winter and thew NAV mean
lt-then But most of those who have ever tried If in
the last twenty-five years still plugging away
We wonder how Percy Haughton ever quit?

any other pitcher in the league. AL

ers. and performed in his usual capa-
BILE manner.

Daubert tailed.
Everything was serene until the fifth

this inning. Schmandt doubled to CEN
tire. Myers taking third. Bairds sacri-
flee fly to See scored Myers. Schmandt
was then caught stealing.
The Dodgers put over the tieing run
in the next period. After Mamaux had
famed. Olson singled. and tailed on
Griffth's triple to centre. The Dodgers
then won the game in the eighth Ma
maux was safe on Kopf's bad throw
