hoped on the unbeaten Red Sox.
In the four home games fifty-one
runs were scored on eighty-three

ty, and with this comes Do It Now.'''
 What, in your opinion, constitutes success?" was another question.
 'tThe above combination means success. It never fails,'' was MT. Edison's reply.
 The question, E'Who were the friends whose confidence gave you encouragement when you were strus- gling for a foothold?" brought forth this characteristic reply:
 q had no such friends. They were not necessary. In fact, they are disadvantageous. The hard path gives one experience. One loses this if he is helped by friends. It is like having a rich father.''
 For once, the spirit of business that hovers over the laboratory in Orange-Thomas Edison is a hard skmaster-seemed to have been dispeued. William H.

Thomas Ava Edison, grand old man of American science, was 73 years old yesterday. Having passed the Biblical span of life, MT. Edison believes there is no reason why men should not live long as the great trees of California if they take care of themselves.
 Seated in his office in his labora- tories at Orange, N. J., MT. Edison Harper & Brothers, the publishers, Do you believe that there is really any such thing as growing old?''
 This is the famous scientists reply:
 If man delighted in studying the natural element in which he exists. and if he used this knowledge to pro tect his body against the malignant actions of his environment, I think that he would live at least twice as long as now, with his mentality un- impaired at the end of life. As man learns more of his environment and is thus able to protect himself more and more there is no reason that I can see why his term of life should not be as long as that of the Sequoia trees of California, which is several thousand years.''
 Because of the impairment of his hearing MT. Edison requested that his interviewer should write his questions, which he would answer by dictation.
 Here are some questions and an- swers:
 Do you believe it is a good thing for boy to map out his career years ahead, or ust peg away?"
 ''No, the boy, while being educated should try many hobbies, changing from one to another as many times as he desires, the more the better, until he finds one that delights him -one that he is sure he will succeed in after he leaves schoo1-because he is happy while pursuing it after try ing many other hobbies. With this hobby he can succeed, and with no other, because when man is vita!ly interested in a thing his memory be- comes highly efficient in that pur- suit. but in all other lines normal.

SUCCEEDS IN FINANCES

Jackson, Dec. 19-Success of the
company's new financing policy, re-
suling in the addition of nearly 100
new stockholders by direct sales of
securities to Michigan consumers,
will enable the Consumers Power
Company to undertake an extensive
Improvement campaign in 1921, ac-
cording to announcement made fol-
lowing conference of New York and
Michigan officials here last night.
Demands for increased power SER
vice in nearly all Michigan's indus
trial centers have presented difficult
financing problems but tn. action of
Michigan investors gives promise of
a construction budget of several mil
lions of dollars for the year. The tot
al of the new expenditures, it is said
cannot be definitely announced until
present plans are more fully develop
ed. A substantial increase in addi-
tional power capacity however is now
les served by the company's lines.
The company's experience in the
last ninety days, said c. w. Tippy,
general manager, "has demonstrated
two things that are full of significance

vide the money to carry on her larger
enterprises and their necessary expan-
sion. The other significant fact is
that she is doing it.
1.-THE increase in capital investment
in the Consumers company by Michi-
gan people is the only thing that is
enabling us to go ahead with the con-
struction of the new power capacity
needed for next year. 1t means that,
as this financing can be continued,
there will be no check to community
industrial growth because of the lack
Of power.
The most important development
this year is this solving of

tiles to keep pace with the progress
of the state and the consequent in

LiptOn,s First Business Venture.


DIR. J. III. Ostrander, a personal
friend of Sir Thomas Upton, told re-
Gently, for the first time, the story of
Llpton's initial business venture.
Lipton's first business venture was
an event in one little corner of Glas-
gov. lie bought, for a few pounds,
a sorry old rundown provision shop
that had changed hands a score Of
times everybody had failed. II was
In a neighborhood where profits were
meager, and housewives close traders,
and where sharp practice and indiffer-
ent ethics precluded credit. So, when
Upton announced that he would trust
any decent neighbor once, all foresaw
his doom.
Upton, however, did not mean that
he would carry accounts 30 days, for,
at this period, five such accounts
would have swamped him. AS he him
self put II: "In misfortune / will car
ry any decent chap till Saturday night.
i will be a friend to you in spite OF
prevailing business rules; but 1t you
break faith with me you will lose
friend, and will lose my business"
Thus he put them on their honor.
And 1t won; won because sympathy
and fellowship dominated the boy and
excited like attributes in others.-De-
