ITO 5000 families in 1921 came
i real disappointment. There
weren't enough ARcoLAs to FILL their
orders-and they shivered through
the winter with stoves or an old
fashioned heating plant.
Three times as many homes are
being built this year as in 1921.
And we can make only the same
number of ARcoLAs as in 1921 be-
cause orders for larger Ideal Boilers
have already over-taxed our fac
tories.

Robert Edeson Is Ill:
Condition Called
Serious

LOS ANGELES, Sept. A.
Robert Edeson, favorite stage
and screen actor, is seriously i'll
at his home here, suffering
from a complication of influ-
enza and blood poisoning. Mr..
Edeson was suddenly taken sick
several days ago while working
in a film studio. He thought
nothing of it, however, until
last night, when he grew sud-
denly worse.
His wife, Mary Newcomb,
has been notified. She is ap-
pearing in a leading role in
"The Woman and the jury"
now playing in New York.
Mr.. Edeson is one of the best
known actors on the American
stage. His first starring We
hicle was "Strongheart," which
ran for several seasons in New
York and on tour. He was
forced to appear for many sea-
sons afterward in similar roles.
He first entered motion picture
work with the Vitagraph Com
pany ten years ago in their
Brooklyn studios, and has
played in them ever since inter-
mittently. His most recent work
was in the Zane Grey picture,
"To The Last Man." for Fa-
nous Players-Lasky.

BLIND NEWSBOY

FRIENDS

NEW YORK. Sept. Oscar Hy-

is at Eighth street and Astor place,
put on his dress clothes and his silk
hat last night and took a taxicab to
the synagogue, where he was mar
ried to Miss Yetta Stecker after a
courtship which began year ago.
Although only 400 invitations were
issued for the ceremony the guests
numbered more than 1000. In
cluded among them were scores of
Oscars customers, all of whom he
recognized by their voices when they
offered congratulations after the
wedding.
"Yetta and I are much obliged for
your good wishes and for coming
here" said Oscar, land to show you
that we are, we are going to post

of the wedding guests, headed by
Joe Levy, Duke of Essex street, who
had left his Rolls-Royce outside in
charge of Itchee, his Japanese chauf-
feur-valet, pressed forward with the
intention of kissing the bride. Oscar.
despite his blindness, sensed what
was coming and bundled her into a
waiting taxi and whisked her away.
1T was not for them to kiss her
that Yetta and / got married." he
said.
Yetta and Oscar met each other at
dance, and he got in his first eff

though he could not see, her voice
was so sweet that he was sure she
must be beautiful.

CALLS Lk|NESS
GREATEST SIN
Of WORLD
Harry G. SeIfridge, London
Capitalist and Merchant,
Discusses Psychology.
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON,
International News ServIca.

LONDON, Sept. Ar you want
to be original let your wits go wool
gathering now and then. Your
mind may accumulate a few cob
webs, but when you brush them
away the kernel of a genuine idea
is likely to remain.
Harry Gordon Selfridee, the
American owner Of London's most
up-to-date department store, laid
down this delectable doctrine in an
address before a group of English
teachers. He launded the gospel of
hard work, but made a plea for the
value Of an occasional mental ex-
cursion into the realms of fancy.
Imagination" said Selfridge, "ts
one of the qualities of the human
mind that is most nearly Godlike.
Can you realize anything more
charming than, after the days work
and the evenings reading are over,
to sit in that easy chair and let
the mind run in the most fantastic
manner possible?
1T is nonsense, absurdity. But
imagination is the result, and in
the morning, after thinking the
thing over and brushing aside the
unnecessary and nebulous, YOU will
find some little kernel which is
worth following. Imagination is
the mother of originality"
Outlining to the teachers his
ideas Of their privileges in connec.
ton with the instruction of the
young. Selfridge said:
Teach them the value of time,
because time Is the only commodity
Of any kind in the world of which
every individual has the same
amount. Time is the most precious
Of all things, because as we use the
minutes 80 will the results show
Il urge as strongly as 1 can
that young people be taught really
to love work. Work does things
work accomplishes, work achieves
Personally l think the greatest sin
is laziness. The idea Of going TO
sea and sitting gazing at the sky
for two weeks during the year for
the benefit OF ones health Is, to
me- a sim,
