MARY PICKFORD HONORED

There is a movement on foot
among some of the prominent cit
liens of Grand Rapids, Wis, to have
the name of that town changed to
"Pickford," according to word re-
ceived yesterday at Mary Pickford's
studio. This, it is explained, is on
account of the confusion arising
because of there being another Grand
Rapids in Michigan.
Mary Pickford has had many
babies named for her, but this is
the first time, she says, that there
has been proposal to name a whole
town for her all at once-Los Angeles
Times.

Thomas A. Edison has made new

TO keep his temper in abnormal times

The. forty third annual convention
of the sales forces Of the Edison talk
ing and recording machines began
to-day at Orange, N. ]. George NJ
Austin OF Philadelphia presented an
American flag to Edison as Amer
ica's leading citizen
In reply Edison said in part:

days in discussir industrial prob

called unrest
The average factory hand to-day
has no conception of what capital Is
being invested for him in better ma
chlnery and tools to make better
job for him.
And office workers are going to
haye better jobs > they get more
automatic machinery to help them.
THE typewriter started the ball
rolling for machines in the offices
Scholes, back in the early Seventies,
brought his first model to my shor
and / helped him make 1t work.
How could you run business to-
day without typewriter2 The cost
of the machine means nothing. A
machine to-day that saves human
labor is at a premium and to con-
slider its reasonable cost in the adOp-
ton is plain foolishness.
IF you want to get a perspective
Of progress with such things as the

heard of longhand or shorthand and

out the mail--business simply would
stop.
THAT'S one OF the things inventors
and manufacturers have to think
about. but the satisfaction is: Once
you do the world a good turn and
prove IL can't get along as well with
out a machine, II never win go back
TO the old habit, because the world
can't be stopped nor slowed up once
1t gets going faster
in a few years machines will do
about everything in an office, Just
as they do in the shops. All office
workers will have better Jobs and
comparatively better pay the more
they use the automatic devices"
Charles Edison read the speech for
| his luther. As the younger man was
finishing the inventor began shutting
This right foot and then took out a
! jack knife and pared a bdt of loose
leather from the sole OF the shoe.
He looked up surprised when the
audience laughed and then smiling
broadly said:

Edison then produced several yell
