UNUSED
Inventor Blames Navy for
Treatment of His War
Contributions.
BY HARRY s. DENLNGER,
International News Service.


WEST ORANGE, N. j., Feb.
12.-Thomas A. Edison, famous
inventor and electrical wizard, in
one of his famous birthday inter-
views, today revealed for the first
time that he had supplied the
United States navy with forty-five
inventions during the world war,
all of which were pigeonholed.
Published by Nary.
Edison appeared very bitter
against the navy authorities.
at gave them fortyfive inven-
tons in the war and they did not
utilize any OF them. This indicates
that navy officers resent any In
reference in their affairs by
civilians They afterwards pub
lished these inventions in book"
Edison discussed a variety of sub
iects, ranging from American girls
to international problems. Some OF
his views summarized were:
America should have given Great
Britain a lower nate of interest on
the war debt.
The Ku Klux Khan ought to be
cleared out.
Approves French Action.
There will be no war at present
because the nations have not got
enough money.
Approved French invasion of Ger
many.
Edison celebrated his seventy
sixth birthday on Sunday. Today
instead of receiving reporters in his
office, which was piled high with
florad tributes he received them in
his laboratory, standing by a desk
piled high with chemical and cleo
trical apparatus. There was a vein
of sentiment running through his
interview. He appeared in the best
of health and said he felt as fine as
silk" To prove it he made a move
as If to leap upon the table.
Keeps Weight at 1876.
The inventor was asked first
about his general health.
Il weight about 1885," he said ct
eat to keep my weight even. 1 feel
fine as silk"
Asked what additional work he
had taken on Edison responded:
Don't ask me that. I am pay
ing more attention to the business
end now. I have new inventions,
which I am trying out upon the
public. I am trying them out on
q large scale, and through several
experiments I have arrived at the
right way
The next Interrogation was about
DR.. Emile Coue, who has been lee
turing in this country on autoSug-
gestion. The inventor said:
There is something in that. A
good many people think they are
sick when it is just in their minds. "
Would Clear Out Khan.
When the Ku Klux Khan was
mentioned the inventor spoke Wig.
orously:
''They ought to be cleared out
that is my opinion he said.
Asked for his views on President
Harding Edison replied:
president Harding is all right
He is little slow, but I like him
do not think Woodrow Wilson
was good man for President. He

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now. be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does
II SO naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
II and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

Northampton, Mass, April 23.--The
American people, supposed to have

The groups in general control OF

"Forty-ive years of power over the
national government out of the last
GO years have completed the alliance
between the special interests and the
republican party" he added.
"And even the long lean years out
of power since the Civil war have not
been sufficient to purify the demo-
