PILGRIM SEED
BEARING FRUIT
Calls Disarmament Sit
uation More Than
Promising

PLYMOUTH, Mass, August 1. -
(By Associated Press.) - Hope that
the disarmament called by the Unit
ed States may bring to the world a
new era of peace and freedom, was
expressed by President Harding to-
day in his address here at the ter
centenary of the landing of the Pill
grim Fathers.
Charactcrizing the international
situation as more than promising -
President Harding asserted that the
seed of common tolerance and un-
derstanding, planted by the fathers
here, was beginning to bear fruit a
thousand fold in the relations be-
tween nations.
"A new hope looms today" said
the president; 1--WE slowly but very
surely are recovering from the
wastes, sorrows and utter disarrange-
ments Of cataclymsical war. Peace
is bringing the new assurances, and
penitent realization and insistent con-
science will preserve that peace"
Another Mayflower came to Ply
mouth today, this one the presidential
yacht bringing President Harding
and his official party to join in the
Observance of the ter-centenary of
the I*ading of the Pilgrims.
The passenges on today's Mayflow-
er landed to officially welcome in
scenes that offered a striking con-
traat with those that faced the Pill
grim Fathers.
One estimate placed the number
of visitors here at 100000, A parade
and other incidents earlier in the day
served to set the scene for the pub
lie exercises beginning at A O'Clock,
when the president delivered his on
ly speech of the day.

General Wood To Be Named
Governor of Philippines

WASHINGTON, August 1.-Gen-
eral Leonard Wood to be governor
general of the Philippines.
That is the nomination President
Harding will send to the Senate for
confirmation, possibly within the next
few weeks.
Wood, who is still in the islands
ON a special tour of investigation for
the president, is understood to have
changed his attitude toward the Of
ce since his visit.
The Philippine post is the juiciest
of the plums remaining on the pa
tronage tree. 1t pays $4,000 a year,
with an additional $4,000 for eX-
penses.
Although the final report of the
Wood investigation has not yet been
made, it is understood in unofficial
advces from Manila, that it VIII be
adverse to the early granting of
Philippine independence.
Woods previous service in the
Philippines, his experience as mill
tary governor of Cuba and later as
govenro of Moro province, Philip
pines, are considered to fit him above
all other for the post.
Wood may not even return to the
United States to present his report,
but may accept appointment as gov
ernor general and remain in the is
lands, assuming his duties immed-
lately.

MRS.EDlSONLETS
OUT, SECRET!
DISTINGUISHED Husband
Is Some Sleeper
Even EIibernates
BY EDWARD THIERRY
Copyright 1929

In CAMt, VIA oakland, ND, Aug
ust do you believe Thomas A.
Edison sleeps only four hours a
night?"
That question has been asked
more often than any other concern
ing the worlds greatest inventor.
But now I have the straight of it
from none other than Mrs. Edison
herself, who has just explained to
me her husbands theory and system
Of sleep.
Edison does sleep only four hours
night, and sometimes less than that
when he's working,
But when he playes and relaxes
he catches up in sleep. He sleeps
at night, and sometimes less than that
day-seven hours, ten hours, some
times a great deal more.
"Mr. Edison takes his rest scien.
tifcially," said Mrs. Edison. "When
he works he works hard and works
long hours When he sleeps, he
sleeps just as hard.
"This is the time when he sleeps
here in camp. Another time is
when we go to our winter home
at Fort Myers, on The west coast
of Florida.
"Down there, he almost hiber
mates, and with sleep he rebuilds
himself against another rigorous
spell of work, We have hammockS
all around the house. Mr.. Edison
goes from one hammock to another
sleeping his way around the heuse,
moving on as the sun drives him
out.
Sometimes at night he may sleep
only a few hours. But when he is
back close to nature-to the trees
and woods and creeks he Ioves-he
sleeps during the day,
"Ie goes to sleep in chair, on
the ground or in a hammock. He
has a most peculiar power of drop
ping into heavy slumber instant
ly and in a short time rouSlng for
a sort Of intermission.
''For a while he reads, and then
sleeps-takes walk, and sleeps
fishes for a while, and then drops
off-eats, and then maps"
He even mapped in chair while
Bishop w. F. Anderson conducted
Sunday services.
eff I didn't know how deaf Mr..
Edison is," smiled Bishop Anderson,
81 might charge myself with preach
ing him to sleep"
Mrs. Edison laughed and said:
1T is one of Mr. Edison's chief
regrets that because of his poor
hearing he cannot attend church
services. He used to try, but he
couldn't hear word that was said.
Nevertheless his every instinct
is Christian.
"He is not sensitive about has
deafness, as so many are. he thinks
deafness has its compensations. He
says he can work better-and be
sides so many people say things
that aren't worth bearing"
