NEWARK, N. j.. February a.
Thomas A. Edison, with the dawning
Of his seventy-seventh birthday yes
terday, paused long enough from
labors at his laboratories, in Menlo
Park. to hold his annual interview
with the press, to answer a question
naire quito as intricate and lengthy
as any he himself has devised and
finally to leave his instruments long
enough to attend a testimonial din
ner this afternoon given him by more
than $50 members Of the Edison
Pioneer Association, veterans of his
service.
At the dinner he blew out the
seventy-seven candles on a huge
birthday cake, fortified himself with
the lightest lunch on the menu and
then started on another years work,
putting in several hours at his labor
atory after the festivities were over.
''Worl hest Amusement"
Work which one loves is the best
form of amusement and DIVERSION
he said when chtded gently by one of
his friends as he motored back to his
laboratory.
Declaring that he felt no older
than forty. although a little more
awkward perhaps" the famous in
ventor told his hosts that he hoped
to live until he was 100.
Gathered at the dinner were men
associated with him in his early
work, though there were many gaps
in the ranks of those who had start
ed with him in Menlo Park in the
eighties. Yesterday another member
was added to the pioneers. He is
Henry Ford. long a friend of Mr..
Edison, who was not present.
Family Reunion Held.
Last night a family reunion was
held at LleWellyn Park, West Orange,
the inventors home, when the birth
day celebration was closed.
Among the floral gifts to Mr.. Edi-
SON was huge flag, reminiscent of
the achievements of the famous in
ventor and of his prediction of the
number z. The flag contains seven
stars and seven stripes. Seven is
the Edison number" There are two
sevens in his age, he is the seventh
child, Mrs. Edison is a seventh child,
they have seven children and seven
has been identified in so many WAYS
in his life that it has become ira
ditional.

action. taken last night after a vehe-

for the nomination.
Senator Reed was aSSailed for his
opposition to policies of Woodrow Will

debate as "a traitor to his country"
The resolution withdrawing the invi-

Representative Hanahan of Fairfield,

Indigestion
May Lead to
Appendicitis

Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual
ly becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn' t pay to ignore even the
most simple warnings of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con
stipation ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms OF poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form
stomach distress, don't fail to try a
bottle of Smith Bros M. A. c.. the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort.
In fact, it is sold on a positive
guarantee of money back if the first
bottle fails to do so. A large bot
tie costs but $1.25. Loynd's Drug
Store will supply you. Mail orders
accepted. adv

been one of the few most impor-
tant ones of the country, said a
telegram received from Major Hens
ley, commandant at Mitchell Field.
Maughan s reception at Crissy
Field was one Of the most Inspir-
ing spectacles ever witnessed in San
Francisco.
When the first roar Of his plane
sounded from the darkness over San
Francisco Bay, an answering roar
swelled from the throats of the for
ty thousand people massed about the
field and on the heights.
Then, like a great moth, the plane
flashed through the beam of one of
the great searchlights that had
been turned skyward, and
"'There he isl arose the chorus
from the crowd which for three
hours had stood, solidly packed,
waiting but patient, for the ar
rival Of the man who sought to beat
the sun.
Twice he circled the field, the
outlines of the plane showing like
a bat against the murkv blue of
the fog1elouded sky. On his last
turn Maughan apparently went to-
ward the sea. Silence followed.
"Where is he? can t he land? -
were the anxious queries, and the
army-like reception committee ;
tried to "spot" the plane in the
sky above.
Suddenly at the far end Of the
field, away from headquarters and
the crowd, appeared aisilvery shape
sliding along the pathway of light
thrown by u 100000 candle power
electric searchlight, and as if at u
preeoncerted signal the crowd moved
forward, hurting the armed sentries
aside, and, with men, women and
children shouting hysteric II y ,
stampeded for the little plane.
Willing hands almost lifted the
plane as it TAXED slowly up the
field, while Maughan wearily nod
ded and smiled, but still concen-
trating on the plane. Colonel w. r.
Gilmore, Crissy field commander,
was at his side and while Flashlights
doomed and the crowd continued its
vocal welcome, the sun racer unT
packed his mail and then was borne
across the field on the shoulders OF
his buddies.
Maugnan was taken into air SER
vice headquarters and while the
crowd melted away outside, told the
story of the flight, ate a bite of
lunch and was taken off to bed.
Today he slept, getting ready for
the formal welcome to be accorded
him at 81 banquet tonight, with the
Flying Club of San Francisco as his
host
