EDISON COMMENDS

Says.
SEES FERTILIZER NEED
Explains Sons Invention of
Wheel to Cut Barbed
Wire Entanglements.

Thomas A. Edison, who returned last
week from trip to Muscle Shoals with
Henry Ford, said at his home In
orange, n. j., yesterday that the
Shoals was a first class business propo-
sition and that Mr.. Ford could operate
a fertilizer plant there and make it go.
He can not only make his rental"
SAID Mr.. Edison, ''but a good profit for
the people besides. Fertilizer Is In
great demand in the South, and the
people need a cheap fertilizer They
can get fertilizer now. but the price
is too high. They cannot afford to
BUY 1t. / cannot estimate the present
waste from lack OF fertilizer. but the
crop would be doubled If the people
had 1t. and employment would be given
to about a million persons"
Mr.. Edison would not comment much
on the armament conference at Wash
ington. but said that the $3.50 naval
plan seems to be a good one, though
he had not given it great deal of
thought.
II think. however, he said, "that we
ought to keep UP with our experiments
with submarines and deadly gases and
keep up with tho other fellow. 1t would

the Automobile Underwriters Detective
Bureau and by the Police Commissioner
OF New York. such rewards and expenses

insurance of automobiles.
Policeman Gets Half OF Reward.
The rewards paid depend upon the
value of the car, or upon the valuation
set upon the car by the policy. They
range from s25 to 500 except in ex-
traordinary cases. The minimum is
paid for the recovery Of cars valued at
$1,000; $50 on $4,000; SIS on $4,000,
and 500 on $4,000. All rewards paid
are turned over to the Police Commits
sioner. who, according to the rules, is
supposed to deduct half of it for the
Police Pension Fund and hand the rest
to the cop who found the car.
While the insurance people deplore
the increase in the thefts and insist that
something will have to be done about
IT. they do not say that the police are
to blame. They do say that the auto
mobile squad at Police Headquarters is
so small as to be almost ineffective 1t
must be made larger. they say, and 1t
should work in conditions that fetch 1t
closer to the insurance companies or to
the Automobile Underwriters Detective
Bureau.
With the recovery OF business general
ly, one insurance man said, the number
of thefts of automobiles increases. For
instance, as was said at the beginning.
this has been n better business year
than last Therefore more automobiles
have been purchased there are more to
be stolen; there are a greater number
of persons willing to buy; the market
mas eNpDnueU even IOr tue tlicl. ISdtiy
in 1920 and late in 1919 the business of
stealing automobiles fell off simply be-
cause the thief was never sure Of getting
rid of his booty. One who had the cash
and the nerve to buy had innumerable
opportunities to make good bargains
with legitimate owners.
The garages where used cars were for
sale were SO full that there was no room
for more. Therefore the thief had to
take the chance of selling on the fly.
And then, too. the prospective purchaser
Of the used car could pick and choose.
lie did not have to take a chance Of
buying a motor that had been stolen
and having that sane car reclaimed by
its rightful owner after he had paid the
thief the latter's price.
1--WE shall ask the Legislature to en-
act laws which will assist the police
departments Of the various cities in ap-
pretending automobile thieves and re-
ducng the activities of that class of
criminals generally" says MT. Capes.

small Cars Easier to steal.

There are more Fords i'm service than
any other make Of automobile. II IL
much easier TO get away with Ford.
II Is much easier to dispose of a Ford.
Owners OF F'ords arc most liable to be
careless with them. II Is quite as easy
20 lock or otherwise safeguard Ford
as 1t Is any other car, but somehow or
other the owners seldom appreciate the
fact until the car Is gone. And then,
too, any motor thief handy with tools
con so change the numbers on Ford
parts that you wouldn't be able to iden-
tify your own car a day after You lost IL.
IL Is a fact that the motor thieves spe-
cialize in certain makes. Before the
Eighteenth Amendment was added to
our Constitution the number of big, pow
erful touring cars stolen was compare
lively small. Indeed, according to one
Insurance man, Fords comprised about
three-quarters OF all thefts. But with
prohibition came rum-running and with
rum-running came q fiercer banditry In
the automobile world.
There may be some other reason or
reasons for the leap in the number of
Packards, Stutzes. Pierce Arrows, Cadil-
lacs, Nationals and so on stolen in 1920
and 1921, but the Insurance men have
not found IT. At least they say they
haven't. X is utterly true, according
to the police, that the rum runner and
the motor riding bandit prefers the
Packard, the Pierce Arrow, the Stutz
and the Cadillac above other makes.
They arc fast and capacious. They are
heavy enough to hold the road under
extraordinary conditions.
Other cars can measure up to the
same specifications, to be sure, but any
one watching the streets. roads and
curbs for day or so can corroborate
the police in their explanation that the
above mentioned big cars are seen

experiments Then IL some one starts

would not have to stop to experiment"
1t was Mr.. Edison's son. Theodore,
student at the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology. who has invented the
wheel to cut through wire acknowledgements,
OF which Mr.. Edison spoke In Detroit
last week. The wheel, Mr.. Edison ex-
planned. is three feet in diameter, one
foot thick, run by a Ford automobile
motor and gains a velocity Of seven

"Some Of the Wheels" said Mr.. Edison,

empty. When the device Is started II
runs in a straight line, and it is operated
on the gyroscope principle.
THE first experiment was made near
Morristown, and after that the wheel
was taken to an island off Key West
We built barbed wire entanglements
several feet apart for q distance of 100
feet. We also dug large holes, some be-
fore the barbed wire and some in be-
tween It. The wheel went right over the
holes and through the wire, continuing
about a mile. We also piled up brush
and trees and the wheel cut right
through them"

Radical Action Is Needed.

A few days ago william y. Capes. sec
retary of the New York State Confer
.nce OF Mayors. told THE NEW York
HERALD that the Legislature must do
something radical or else the insurance
people are going to adopt new schedule
OF rates and these rates are going to
~ proach the prohibitive stage. Half a
dozen insurance men. asked to confirm
this, declared 1t TO be quite true. They
said that 1t was being force upon them.
They have not summed up their losses
Tor 1921 yet. .butssthey all said il was
q matter OF Zoo many millions"
Despite this, the State Automobile
Bureau estimates that it will register
more than 100000 motor cars In 1922.
There were more than 100000 licensed
this year. Business Is getting better.
These figures are, Of course, for the en-
tire State. The city comes in "A moment.
Among the folk who will agree Gf
they care to be franl<) that this year
was q more prosperous one than last.
are those who devote themselves to the
stealing Of automobiles in New York
city.
In moment or so figures will be set
forth explaining the situation. Much
depends upon how YOU scan them. They
might very well be used to everlastingly
damn the Police Department or you
might construct therefrom an equally
impressive defence OF Commissioner En-
right and his $4,000 men.
But no matter what you angle OF
observation may be. YOU will eventually
become entangled in the inevitable maze
OF circumstances that will prompt you TO
hurl the said statistics into the waste
paper basket and agree that a police
mans life Is not happy one.
In considering the oncoming statistics
you must realize that no attempt Is
made here to show how many of the
missing cars have been returned to their
owners either by the police. the insur-
ance detectives or other agency. A sur

~ sFor 10 days in November.
Reducing these figures TO car classifi-
cations il Is observed that the Ford is
the most popular of the motor thiefs
objectives Sixteen hundred and ninety
four OF them were stolen in New York
city during the first ten months OF this
year. That means that almost every
other car stolen was a Ford. The rea-
song arc clear.
