MRS.EDlSONLETS
OUT SECRET!
Distinguished Husband
Is Some Sleeper
Even Hibernates
BY EDWARD THIERRY
Copyright 1929

IN CAMP, via Oakland, Md, Aug
ust 1.-"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 house,
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.
''He goes to sleep in chair, on
the ground or in a hammock. He
has most peculiar power Of drop
ping into heavy slumber instant
" and in a short time rousing fol
a sort of intermission.
"For a while he reads, and then
sleeps-takes a 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.
"If I didn't know how deaf Mr..
Edison is" smiled Bishop Anderson,
81 might charge myself with preach
ing him to sleepn'
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 HIS
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 hearing"

''It may be we'll to state at the out
set the one and probably the only,
hazard to be encountered and that is
the bare possibility of not being able
to secure a sufficient flow OF water

the Swiss insurance companies in
increasing the insurance rates for
women who wear short skirts and
low necks, is not 20 be followed By
American insurance companies, &C
cording to numerous Chicago agents.
In the opinion of the examining
physicians for insurance companies
in Chicago, the vogue Of short skirts
and low necks makes women bet
ter rather than a poorer risk.
If the vogue for fewer clothes and
wraps and more exercise for women
continues, according 10 the insur-
ance physicians, women viii soon be
as good a risk for insurance COM
panies as men. and their rates will
be as low.

Probably the outstanding feature
Of camp life and the one that makes
the most lasting impression on the
minds of the boys is the evening

is built huge pile of brush, and
when this is lighted the boys and

and Will be ready for use the first
day Of camp. A floating raft with
15-foot high diving stand is a
dandy and affords much pleasure 10
the more daring boys.
The element of danger in the
water that arises In the minds Of
parents when boys and a lake are
mentioned has been so effectively
removed from Camp Eberhart that
i'm the entire history of the camp
there has never been a serious in
jury or q narrow escape. The boys
swim only at scheduled periods and
then under the watchful eyes of
husky we'll trained athletes. The
boys use the boats only after they
have completed strenuous boat
rowing and canoe manipulation test
and all are taught to swim, dive
and row. so that all fear Of the
water is removed and they are able
70 handle themselves in the water
like proverbiaI ducks.
The camp also boasts OF splen-
did bathing beach Of clean, white
sand on an unusually clear. pure
lake that is well stocked with vari-
Gus kinds OF fresh water fish. In
structiOns are given along this
beach in diving. swimming. canoe
ing, boat handling, water sports and
life saving methods Athletic AMI
aquatic meets are held at stated
intervals.
Not only do the boys excel in the
water sports. but also in those Of
the track and field. \ volley ball
court has been laid out for use dur
ing the coming season and will very
likely be the scene of many a hard
fought battle. Baseball is played
