day off, not even to delay rising be-
yond the usual hour At the great
Edison plant he and his army of fell
low workmen faced the same routine.
While Mr.. Edison seemingly forgot
the day and it's significance, there was
no oversight on the part of the Ed
son pioneers" an organization OF
men employed by him since 1885. or
for an even longer period. Members
of this band of workmen had planned
for many days the greetings to be ex-
tended to the aged inventor and had
arranged for the annual luncheon in
the storage battery building of the
plant.
A wireless telephone had been in
stalled in the hall and arias by Marie
Rappold, grand opera star who sang
for the gathering were sent broadcast
Many old friends were expected 10

ing the afternoon. The Edison work
ers proudly displayed celluloid but
tons having the figures "75" Mes
sages of congratulation came in from
all parts of the world, from all man
ner of men and women, great and
small and in all manner of forms.

Rice is Cheap,
And Good, But
Neglected

How many housekeepefs, bewailing
the expense of feeding a family, are
overlooking excellent opportunities
for saving in this direction.
Using rice to supplement and extend
the flavor of more expensive foods
may be found an economical practice
in many American households.
1t may be that you do not know of
enough ways to prepare rice to give
the necessary variety to the Diet
There are scores of ways of prepar-
ing rice and combining it with other
foods. In some countries rice is eaten
as extensively as bread is in our
country.
The Department of Agriculture has
prepared an excellent booklet on rice
as food, telling all about it and how
to prepare it in many attractive
dishes. This is a free Government
publication which our Washington In
formation Bureau will secure for any

THE FORUM
Editor of The Palladium:

Editor of The Palladium:
| wish to make little statement in
answer to the article in the paper
of Feb. 9 about the employment of
three colored men on the city fire
department.
All three of these men are ex-serv-
ice men. Had these men been white
there would have been no question as
TO whether they were ex-service men
or not.
One of these men is veteran, be
ing one of the first to go on the firing
line. i happen to know that this man
has been unable to secure steady en-
ployment since he has been dis
charged.
| am sure that all fair minded per-
sons will stand by Mr.. Handley, and
he certainly is the man we need.

deal regardless of race, color or creed
