EDISON REBELS
AT CIVILIZATION
Inventor Says We're All

IN CAMP, VIA OAKLAND, Md,
August 5-The woods will get you

Stay out close to nature long
enough and you won't want to come

trolley cars, telephones, porcelain
bathtubs and nickeled plumbing.
That's Thomas A. Edison's theory.
Every man way down in his heart
revolts at civilization" said Edison,
IN camp with Henry Ford and H. S.
Firestone. S Every man will revert
to barbarism if given half a chance.
Turn a mon loose IN the woods
and he won't want to come back

out what life is all about" he said
but we know what civilization is
It is a mere veneer that Keeps on
getting thicker-but never too thick
| to pierce.
at will be $4,000 years, | think
before man will have reached such q
high point of civilization where he
cannot, and will not want to, go back
to the barbaric life.
81 have a friend down near Fort
Myers, my Florida home, who took
a Seminole boy out of the Everglades
and gave him the best education pos
sible. Yet he slipped back into the
old life. Natives in such places as
Africa do the same thing very often
i'm spite of missions.

been hard to assemble.
For five weeks we studied and at
tended lectures and played, and the
last week was the greatest OF all, be.
cause it brought General John J.
Pershing in person to the camp for
review. He said they were great fell
lows, too. He complimented us on
our looks, first, which pleased US
nightly, for, after all boys are near

us that looks meant a great deal in
warfare; that somehow or other a
really good-looking officer holds the
respect of his men, and they like to
look up to him, as did the children
of Israel of old when they delighted
in the personal beauty Of their
youthful king Saul.

Then he gave talk on
the importance of efficient military

The. camp was just 20 miles from
Washington, and we were permitted
to visit the capital city at stated
times. The sights there were inspir-

Splendid treatment was accorded the
young men, perhaps because of the
TACT that semi-official rating was
held by them, they being there for
the purpose of receiving training as
future officers Good food was af
forded as, and we enjoyed the serv-
ice.
Three or four hours were devoted
daily to lectures. We learned army
tactics more by theory than by prac-

trench tactics from trenches which
had already been dug. We were or.

lnto them, and to advance and re.
treat just as was done in actual war.

2 to 8 O'clock we went through drill
work. and how. the boys did hate to
get up by bugle calls! We had to go
TO bed that way, too.
Ample recreation was furnished
