Edison QUESTIONABLE
Failure, Inventor Says
Comedies Good In College And
The Flapper On His 18th
Birthday.

Thomas A. Edison's famous ques
tionaire for determining the fitness
of men for the jobs they seek is q
failure.
The electrical wizard admitted this
at his laboratory, where he, is cele-
brating his II birthday last Monday
by working.
"The QUESTIONABLE system does ELI
inmate the unfit to certain extent,
he said, ''but something more is need
ID Tor the selection OF good men,"
That workmen's homes in the future
would be butt on the standardization
plan, in large quantities and cheaply,
was indicated by Mr.. Edison as one
Of his expectations of The benefits tc
mankind o fcoming inventions.
'"The American college is good, in
that it forces young men to learn
something when they don't want to-"
Mr.. Edison continued.
81 feel the same today as I did at
the age Of forty. keep the physical
machine in order by avoiding over
stuffing with foods not needed for
power and locomotion. I think I shall
be active for another ten years.
81 think on the whole this young
flapper damsel so often referred to, is
all right. Her actions may be little
foolish but not serious. The world is
constantly getting better and fine
people are increasing in number"
Mr.. Edison said radio made the
greatest advance in electrical science
in the last year, but it would never
supplant newspapers and the tele-
phone, and that travel in the air never
would supercede that on trains and
ships.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Edison left
his labors to attend the annual reun-
ion of edison Pioneers" which is
held as birthday tribute to him each
year. "The Pioneers" are a group of
associates of Edison's early career.

 switch at the time Of the wreck is now condemned by the engineers of the transit commission. As the com- mission now condemns the switch and it's operation as antiquated and obsolete, it must have been anti 1uated and obsolete before the wreck. and that being so it was the duty of he commission to have ordered and 'equired the removal of the switch ind the installation of safe method | 'f operation it now recommends.
 We condemn the failure of the | commission to make proper action for he removal of this condition before he disaster and for it's very evident policy that anything is good enough ntil the contrary is proven by a isaster costing human lives, and we lso condemn the officials of the rail- oad company above named for their eglect to take the initiative in the doption of ways and means for the rotection of human life and for heir total disregard of their respon- iblity"

CABINET AGREES
 IN LONDON ISSUE
Germany in Complete Accord
 With EnVoys at Conference
By Tho Associated Press.

Berlin, Aug. 14.-President Ebert
 presided at an extraordinary session
 of the cabinet convoked at 7:So
 o'clock this morning to discuss the
 situation which has arisen in London
 because of the failure of the French
 and German delegates to the interna- tional conference to reach an agree
 ment on the time limit for the mili- tary evacuation of the Ruhr.
 An official bulletin was given out announcing that the members of the cabinet were in full accord with the attitude taken by the German dele gates in London.
 The latest serious developments at the London conference are comment ed upon by all of the Berlin news papers which, without exception, agree that a. crisis has Been reached on the question of the military eyac- nation of the Ruhr. It is generally agreed also that there seems to be little or no hope of compromise un- less the French are prepared to make conce essions for, it is stated, it is ut- terly impossible for Germany to make further concessions.
 The newspapers point out that the hills whereby the Dawes report may he put into effect in Germany, will never obtain the necessary two thirds majority in the reichstag unless the chancellor is able to announce that the German delegation has returned from London with 8 definite written protocol, signed by the French pre- lner. to the effect that the Ruhr will be entirely evacuated by certain date in the very near future.
 There is no doubt whatever 1t Is generally conceded that the govern mont would have the support of all he political parties in a refusal to lgree to anything short Of complete ,vacuation at an early date and that t is prepared to face the conse- iuences, however heavy, of such efusal.
 The Berlin press emphasizes its that the Ruhr occupation las always been illegal and that, if he French now show an unwilling less to evacuate the area. it would rove clearly to the world that French olicy still aims not at achieving an understanding and friendly relations iith Germany but as a perpetuation f tistrust and i'll feeling between the wo nations

Your visiting card" attached to the

in tackling strange traffic. Often the
regulations OF other cities in your

is no way for the traffic officers to tell
you from a local dumbbell Your Wis
iting card would solve this problem
and give you the advantages of the
courtesies that are usually shown a
stranger.
Use your own discretion about Sc
lecting a garage for the night wi ben

get a rakeoff for recommending GER
tain garages which may be very un-
desirable from the motorists stand

park your car for awhile and step

Six Best Remedies.
With at least ten remedies being
offered for each motor problem. 1t Is
only natural that some IDEAS worn !,
considering should be developed. AT
present a half dozen remedies for
traffic problems are gaining con-
siderable headway and every car
| owner ought to be familiar with
them. They are:
ID Education of persons who ad-
vocate education of the automobile
driver as a means of forestall1ns
radical instruction.
CD Illumination of all streets and
principal highways at night SO that
motorists will not be obliged to use
their full headlights and blind each
other in order to see where they're
going.
60 A newspaper campaign to show
what good uses the automobile Is
being put to, how many people drive
cars without getting into trouble and
how more people are learning to get
more use from their cars by being
more careful.
(D A campaign to prove to anna
teur safety advocates that 20 miles
an hour is not necessarily a safe
speed and that more accidents are
happening to slow drivers than to
fast drivers because the latter do not
day dream.
(5) Education of officials to a real
ization that restrictions on parking
are a cause of congestion and thus of
accidents, and that parking can be
restricted to the best interests of
every one only as provisions are made
for downtown storage Of cars in
garages or on parking grounds.
(S) Adoption of alternate trafhc"
at every city intersection. That is,
right Of way to all motor traffic for
a certain period, and then halting of
all motor. traffic so that all pedes-
trian traffic can cross unendangered.

WEAK CYLINDER, TOPIC.
Suggestion for Regulating Speed
Is Advanced.

\ weak cylinder shows up best at
speeds where very little power is re-
1uired to- keep the car in motion. This
speed may be around 12 miles an hour
on the straightaway or at about
miles an hour in turning corner.
At an extremely low speed in high
gear you arc quite likely to be giving
the car d little more gas in order to
overcome it's inertia Otis tendency to
remain at rest). And, of course, when
You're running at normal driving
speed the throttle is well open. When
more gas is admitted TO the cylin-
ders compression is naturally raised
50 that the weakness Of any one cyl
inder is less effective. The car will
run unevenly through the period OF
lowest compression.
