SHE spuHNED WASHINGTON

In Williamsburg, Va, separated
by two fields, are the remains Of
two houses. In one lived Martha
GUSTS, who married George Wash
ington. In the other lived Mary
Cary, whom Washington once loved
at sight and wished to marry, says
the Detroit News. But her father
haughtily dismissed the modest
young sutton.
eff that is your business here,
sir" he cried, 81 wish you to leave
the house. My daughter has been
accustomed to ride in her own
coach"
Years afterward Mary is reputed
to have tainted away when from
her window she saw the father, not
of her children, but of his country,
riding by her house in state.

For ten minutes they made siren

They admitted the truth of this.

year-old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Shepperd Strickland, is
safe at her home in Clarendon,
twelve miles southeast Of here,
today, after having been car

any accurate details.
Citizens formed a searching
party, hunting all day for the
child, which they found late
yesterday afternoon. The bear,
which apparently was tame, IL
believed to be the same which
escaped from the zoo of a
carnival company here recently.

Edison, II Years Old,
Beats Aides to Work
As He Punches Clock

WEST ORANGE, N. r., Feb. IL
Thomas A. Edison started out on his
18th year today with his customary
birthday kick in the air to prove his
inexhaustible youth, plenty Of hard
work, and the usual quiet meetings
with friends.
Celebrating his 18th birthday by
arriving at his office before any Of
his employees and punching the time
clock as usual, the electrical wizard
finally was persuaded to give his
views after another year Of maturity
ON current subjects of interest. In
response to questions, he said:
Man has not yet reached, but Is
rapidly approaching, physical per-
lection.
when coal and crude petroleum
resources are exhausted, power will
be extracted from the sun, the wind,
the tides and vegetable growth.
"The American college Is good be-
cause 1t forces young man to do
work he doesn't want to do.
THE modern young girl who goes
to extremes in matters Of dress and
habits is all right but a little bit
foolish
"The controversy between funda-
mentalists and modernists in religion
is the result Of an attempt to make
facts out of myths.
Death for criminals by lethal gas
is more humane than by electrocu-
ton.
Radio is the greatest recent in
vention. but it will never supplant
the newspaper as means of dis
seminating information.
"As for the field OF potential presi-
dents, I am inclined to favor Cool
idge."
AS to his favorits literature, Mr..
Edison concluded: ''I don't read fic-
ton any more-I prefer the movies"
