NEW YORK, October 1S.--Thomas
a. Edison, electrical wizard, in one OF
the few interviews he has ever grant
ed newspaper men. speaks of the presi-
dental possibilities of his friend.
Henry Ford, and declares it would
spoil a good man" If the nation sent
Ford to the White House.
Mr.. Edison expressed the opinion
that the automobile manufacturer was
more valuable to the nation as a pri-
vate citizen, and then turned to the
prediction made recently by Charles
p. Steinmetz, inventor, connected with
the General Electric Company, that
electricity eventually would reduce
the working day to four f-ours. With
this opinion Mr.. Edison agreed.
Mr.. Edison, however, was not sure
the four-hour day would be a good
thing for the nation. lie expressed
fear that too large a leisure class
would be created and that this would
have bad effect, particularly on the
young.
The interview, an impromptu af-

peared as guest of. honor at lunch

Company of New York, was reminis-

NO PROTEST MADE
 ON COMPUTATIONS
l. C. C. at Washington Has Not Received Complaints Prom Conn.
BY GEORGE H, MANNING


 twsshinsteA Bureau st kss Britain Hsrsldl
 Washington. D. C.. Sept. a6.-with hut ten days remaining in which to block the effort of the New Haven faiUoad to put into effect on October 18th new rates schedules which effect ineeases of about 20 per cent on eom- mutation rates between points in con- neetieut and New York and Massa- chusetts and increases as high as 66 per cent on communication rates be- tween points within Connecticut. there Is not single protest or appeal against the interstate rates before the Interstate Commerce Commission which has the power to suspend them.
 The only thing that has come to the commission so far Is the letter from William J. McGrath or New Haven. protesting against the proposed in- crease of b7.s per cent in the rates between New Haven and Hartford. The commission has no jurisdiction over this schedule which involved only an intra-state rate.
 Has Authority
 The interstate commerce commis- sion has authority under section ib of the interstate commerce act, as amended by Section 41S of the trans- portation act of 1920, to suspend the operation for four months of the new rates proposed by the New Haven railroad; but the suspension must be based on an appeal filed formally with the commission within ten days prior to the effective date of the pro- posed new rates.
 As the new rates are to go into ef- feet on October 18th. the formal ap- peal must be in the hands of the commission by Friday. October 9th, at the latest.
 Informal Rumblings
 The commission has heard some informal rumbling and read numer- ous newspaper reports to the effect that formal protests against the rates were to be filed on behalf Of the citi- zens of Bridgeport, New Britain. New Haven. Hartford. Norwalk, Water bury, Meriden and Winsted, but noth- ing official has been received. The protests, if filed, must indicate the schedules affected, give specific reference to the items against which l protest is made, mention the grounds l for the protest, and furnish the com- mission with seven copies of the pa pers.
 If the commission. after consider ing the complaint or appeal, decides that there is doubt of the reasonable ness of the proposed advances it has the power to suspend operation of the new schedules for 120 days, while a investigation is being made of the justification for the increases. If the commission should eventually decide that the new rates are unjust 1t can order them permanently sus- pended; if it finds them fair it can issue an order allowing them to go into effect at the end of the 120-days' period.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
WHEN YOU BUY A HAIR
BRUSH
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
20. 1922, Harland II. AlIen.)

"Eyery woman needs at least two
bair brushes" declares well-known
head Of Chicago hair-dressing house,
zone a penetrating flat surface brush
for the scalp, the other large, oval
bristle brush for the hair"
But whether you are shopping for
one general utility brush, or several
special purpose ones, the problem of
quality oaght to be the first concern.
A good brush not only gives more
satisfaction, but lasts lifetime. A
cheap brush is hard on the hair, more
trouble to keep clean, and very short
lived.
Brush quality depends first upon the
kind of bristle used, and then, almost
as important, on how well 1t is fas-
tened to the back or handle. Cheap
brushes are made up with fiber whisk
or low-grade animal bristle, while in
the best quality brushes only select
hog bristles are used. 1t is interest
ing to know that northern hogs pro-
duce the best brush bristles-the
finest grade of all coming from wild
| Siberian boar.
To see Ii brush has real animal
bristIes or just fiber, there are three
easy tests (1) Press down the center
Of the brush, then remove the hand
suddenly. True bristles will straighten
/ up quicker than imitation. (2) Put
bristle in the flame Of match. If
It burns like hair, 1t is animal brlstle,
IL like paper, it is vegetable product.
| CD Pull a bristle quickly over the
| back OF knife. The true bristle will
curl down, but the fiber is likely to
/ break.
Now as to the method of fastening
/ the bristles to the back Of the brush
| The poorest way is to glue them. for
they will soon loosen and come out.
IN the hard rubber brush, a very ef
fective way is to set the bristlAA In
molten rubber, and then finish wher
| cool
! Other good qualify brushes have the
| bristles drawn or sewed in with wire
This is a fairly simple process wher
the back has a veneer top TO hide the
stitches, but in the solid handles /
heavy wire must be run through thu
back to catch in the loops Of ben
bristles which have been showed vi
into small holes made to receive them
This locks the bristles in and makes
an Everlasting" brush.
/ A little examination will show which
of the methods was used. In the soil,
handle brush you can usually SCI
where two wire holes have beel
plugged in the front end
