It's Al Wrong, Edison Says;

Mrs. Edison was an interested lis.
tener as her husband discussed the
examinations, and here she offered the
following explanation as an illustra.
tion of the inventors plan:
Men, for instance, applying fol
positions as chauffeurs tell you they
are machinists. And you do not fnc
out they are not until they take out
an expensive car and ruin it, and yor
pay perhaps tour or five thousand dol
lars TO learn they were not machinists
at all"
But what gets my goat" interrupt
ed Mr. Edison, "is this strange fact
Why do so many young men who take
the questlonnaire get rated A. B and c
and the next group runs x, Y, q? Be.
tween these two sharply defined groups
Is terrific abyss. Why are there nc
d, E, f, G men? Either the applicants
are very good or no good at ali. That
what is puzzling me. Why, there is nc

Says His Test Works
"A man who can pass the question.

take a job anywhere. / put one of the
men who answered the questions cor.
rectly right on job which involved
responsibility for highly involved

right off. And if that young man could
make good on that job ne can make
good anywhere"
Mr.. Edison was asked how we'll the
graduates had fared in. promotions
since the questionable system was put
in effect.
"Let me see," said he, as his mind
swiftly ran over his mental list.
Il put eleven of them in executive
positions, and in each case they have
shown advanced thought en- the work
assigned them, some of them pushing
right ahead where there had been stag

The newspapers have not played
exactly fair with him by printing the
questions, Mr.. Edison believes.
They have spoiled the effect of my
work in trying to get competent men,
he said, "but | will make up new lists

cheered from the sidewalks. The
marchers carried such placards as "To
Tell With Hooch-We Want Beer"
Give Us Our Beer!" and Anderson
and the Kaiser-Two of a Kind
Michael F. Buckley was marshal of
the parade. It was given under the au-

a quart of rye whisky. He decided to

AS the steamer neared the dock he

Finally. in desperation. he confessed
his fears to a fellow voyager. This
kindly individual offered to trade suit
cases and assume all responsibility.
The young man was vastly relieved
and the change was made.
The luggage was not searched and a

LEEIN NOT RUSSIAN CHIEF
5oIshevik Exponent Is Premier, Michael
kaIinin Being President Of Central
Executive Committee.

Most Americans believe that NikOlai
Lenin Is president of Russia, whereas
he holds an Office which corresponds
TO that os the British premier. Michael
Kalinin, peasant, for more than two
years has been president of the All
Russian Central Executive committee.
His position is only about as politically
powerful as that of the French presi-
dent, and, whereas the French execu-
tive's position is mostly social, the
Russian president is mediator, cham
Dion and political adviser Of the
peasant masses of Russia.
Kalinin's Office in Moscow is not
in the Kremlin, but in an ordinary
Office building in the heart OF the
city. 1t is the one place in Russia
where no papers are demanded
when one enters and no guards stand
about the doors.
