Who Never Tried Test
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, June 10. - Charles Edi-
son, son of the famous wizard, to-
day warmly defended his fathers
list of questions put to applicants
for employment in his factory and
which, together with Edison's state
ment that colleges were lamentably
ignorant, has furnished a national
topic for several days. a.
"My father conceived the ques-
tionnaire when he started to rebuild
his technical staff, which was broken
up by the war. He corrects every
paper turned in and marks them.
This system is bringing about the
very result he desired. One of the
men who received a mark in the
test is now working in the plant and
making good.
"My father did not make the
statement that the QUESTIONABLE
Showed that college men are amaz-
ingly ignorant What he said was:
"The answers indicate that many
college men are amazingly Ignorant
about the common things of life
with which they are in constant con-
tact"
Young Mr.. Edison denies a report
that he himself had funked on his
fathers QUESTIONABLE. "That was
my younger brother, who is a
student of Boston tech. I never
tried the list myself"

Bluffs Boys Favor
Stone-Age Stuff and
Won't Wear Clothe.

Proximity Of their home to the
north shore OF Lake Manawa has
proved too alluring to the healthy
children of the ]. B. Young family.
and on complaint of other families
living in Lakoma addition to the
Manawa village, Harold, 7; Cecil, 6,
and Benny, 4, were in juvenile court
Saturday. Residents aver that dur
ing the present hot weather the kids
have simply refused to wear amy
clothes at all, and when not splashing
in the water have played around the
banks and paraded the village streets
in Edenic beatitude.
The kindly disposed residents
might have overlooked the childish
indiscretions if the entire absence Of
clothing had not lured the youngsters
to still further stone-age activities.
It is alleged that they invaded homes
and took anything they wanted. Fri
day they were brought to town and
placed in the detention home. The
lads consented to wear their clothes
while being brought from the lake,
but once inside the home they doffed
everything and scandalized the whole
East pierce street neighborhood.
Their stone-age procelivities were
further emphasized when they got
hold of lot of rocks and bombarded
everybody in sight. Judge Capell in
juvenile court continued the case un-
til next Saturday and an effort will
be made in the meantime to induce
the boys to resume 10th century
habits.

rived at the Orthwein fiat immediate
ly after Detective Sergeant Moffatt
and Lieutenant Doherty. Snowhook
testified he overheard part of the
conversation between Mrs. Orthwein
and Sergeant Moffatt. Moffatt was
asking her about the shooting and
she was using considerable profanity.
Snowhook said Mrs. Orthwein said
she was glad Ziegler was dead and
that when she knew he was cheating
she was through with him.
"She told me- testified Snowhook,
"that Ziegler was going to get di-
vorce from his wife and marry her.
She also told of the quarrel in the
Green Mill gardens and that another

Drive Launched
Against Federal
Soldier Bonus
Chamber of Commerce o.
United States in Nation
Wide Campaign Against
Giving Cash.

Washington, June l9. A nation
wide campaign against the proposed
cash bonus for soldiers of the world
war was begun by the Chamber OF
the Commerce of the United States.
THE national organization" the
chamber of commerce says in its
brief against the cash bonus, "favors
other forms of aid, and is particu-
larly insistent on the physical and
mental rehabilitation of the wounded
and disabled, but it doubts the value
of a cash bonus to the soldier and
seriously questions its cost. and does
not believe it will be of lasting bene-
fit" g..
The protest of the national busi-
ness organization was mailed today
to President Harding, members OF
the cabinet, members of congress and
l.400 trade and commercial organiza-
tions throughout the country.
In the protest, which takes the
form of brief, officials of the cham
Der declare that the war has laid a
mortgage of $55,000,000 on every
congressional district, or an amount
approximately $l,l35, on every family
in the United States.
The attitude of the chamber is
founded on action taken by its men,
bershp at the last two annual meet
:ngs. It's brief points out that the
government already has authorized
expenditures for soldier relief
amounting to 81, l,500,000,0 600 and that
to this is added 5000, 100000 war risk
insurance liability, as estimated by
director of war risk insurance on a
basis OF liability in excess of pre-
miums received.

Lincoln, but escaped in an auto
mobile. In his anxiety to place a
safe distance between himself and
the officers he wrecked the machine

attempted to dispose of the clipping
by chewing it up and swallowing it.
