TAKING LOSSES

Some people have fretted and
brooded over the losses they suf.
fered In the deflation period. They
have settled down in Il rut, taking
what trade comes along, doing moth
ing to bring their business before
the public They take the greatest
risk OF all that Of stagnation. Of
being crowded out by more sggres-
siye people.
Other people see the brighter
side and think the country is re
covering better than can be expect
ed from its initiation. They look to
the future instead OF on the past.
They see the country entering d
new era of prosperity in which they
are determined by good service and
persistent advertising to have a
share. These are the people who

JEWISH IMMIGRANT AN
SWERS EDISON'S CUES
-! II. 4TTONS, = l. 60 :

Thomas Edison, the wizard,
has created quite a stir among en-
gineering students and educators
by his sets of questions which ap-
plicants for a position with his
concern must answer before they
are engaged. The questions have
been ridiculed by some and
praised by others. But there is
at least one student, Jew and
an immigrant at that, who neither
censures nor praises the questions
but simply answers them without
trouble and with dispatch.
The student is Herman Alt
we'll, a recent arrival in this coun-
try. When he was taken to Ellis
Island he overheard a reporter
suggest in jocular way that the
immigrants be given a set of Edi-
sons questions. Those who an
swer them shall be admitted to
this country and those failing to
do so shall be returned to study
up on "copra,' "dry rivers"
French Absinthe," ct cetera.
Altweil stepped forward and in
excellent English offered to take
the test. He was asked II ques-
tons and answered all of them
correctly.
The immigration officials pat
ted Altweil on the shoulder and
told him that not only had he a
right to be admitted to America
but that he was also entitled to a
position with Edison's concern.
