BY Thornton w. Burgess

Sammy Jay happened to be on his
way to the Old Orchard just as Farmer
browns boy came out Of the Green
Forest on his way home after finding
the three Bee-trees. Sammy turned
aside and perched in the top of a tree
from which be could watch Farmer
Browns boy, lie always interests Sam

you never can tell what he will do
next" explained Sammy to Peter Rab-
bit when they were talking about Farm
er Browns boy I've learned lot
just by watching him. People VINO do
unexpected things are always the most
lntepcsting."
Now as Sammy Jay watched Farmer
Browns boy did the unexpected. He
stopped right in the middle of the
Green Meadows, hshed in all his
pockets and then turned back toward
the Green Forest and began to run.
"Now what is lie doing that for?"
muttered Sammy Jay at is pretty

Sammy glanced over toward the Old
Orchard, shrugged his blue shoulders
and then spread his blue wings. But
he didn't head toward the Old Orchard.
No. sir, he didn't. lie headed iowa rd
the Green Forest at the place where
Farmer Browns boy was just enter

Now. ordinarily. Sammy Jay is a
NOISY fellow. as you very we'll know
But there are times when he is as
silent as if he had lost his tongue.
This always is so when he is spying
on any one. 1t was so now. He fol-
lowed along behind Farmer Browns
boy, flying from tree to tree, keeping
out of sight himself but managing to
always keep Farmer Browns boy in
sight. SO it WAS that he saw all that
happened at that Bee-tree
He had been so intent watching
Farmer Browns boy that he did not

If our personality dies what's the use

"lf our personality survives, then it

it is reasonable to conclude that those
who leave this earth would like to

The theory on which Mr.. Edison is

In his interview with Mr.. Forbes,
Mr.. Edison expressed the belief that
il his efforts are successful the first
messages recorded on his instrument

he said:

Movies Replace Saloons
Sir Gilbert Parker Disclose,
Views of Herbert Hoover

Moving pictures have taken the place
of wines and whisky, in the opinion of
Herbert Hoover, according to Sir Gill
bert Parker, author, who was guest of
honor yesterday at luncheon given
by the Authors League of America.
"a few days ago." continued Sir Gil
bert, Mr.. Hoover said to me that al
though prohibition had caused much
discomfort in the industrial world this
had been offset by the advent of the
movies on large scale in sections
where unrest prevails"
Sir Gilbert is here to study picture
producing and Will leave for the West
shortly
Miss Pearl White explained to mem
bers Of the league that one reason why
screen productions are so at variance
with the works of authors is that
many producing heads of companies
previously had been employed as suit
and cloak makers and knew very little

Edison Hopes to Record

Enable Those Earth to Commune With

Tangible and indisputabe record Of
communications with the spirit world

Thomas A. Edison materialize.
Mr. Edison said yesterday work on
the delicate instrument by which he
hopes to enable those who still live
to commune accurately with those
whom death has removed has not yet
progressed to point that would justify
a definite forecast Of its success. He
said it was still mere project. but
that much of his time is Icing devoted
to its perfection.
Although taking no stock in the de-
wees at present utilized bv mediums
and others who profess occult powers
the inventor is loath to condemn the
operators as "fakers,' because he holds
mat the imagination may become so
imDued with an idea that it becomes
lhPossloie to distinguish the real from
