EDISON CROWS
GOLDEN ROD FOR
RUBBER SOURCE
Industrial Market Is New
Field for Farmer,
Says Inventor. y

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 25.-Thomas
A. Edison has turned to sowing
goldenrod seed with the idea of
prevention Of war through pre-
paredness.
The octogenarian inventor has,
with one move, taken up the cause
of the American farmer, prepared
ness for war and opposition to a
possible rubber monopoly.
The growth of rubber on Amer1-
can farms is his immediate concern,
and it is for this purpose that
thirty-two experiments are being
made daily at his nine-acre farm at
TT. Myers, Fla, on goldenrod and
other plants.
New Field for Farmer
interviewed by Wheeler McNIil-
len, associate editor of Farm and
Fireside, with Henry Ford and
George Martin, editor Of the maya
zine as interested listeners, Edison
supported the frequently made sug-
gestion of the magazine that the
time has come for the farmer to
pay greater attention to production
of industrial products.
1--WE want only so much to eat"
said Edison in agreeing that the
food market is limited to the stom-
ach's capacity, while consumption
Of industrial products has no such
boundary.
Il am at present experimenting
to obtain rubber for war purposes.
In case of war we will be prevented
from importing rubber, disorganiz-
ing our transportation systems as
we have not enough horses; also
our military systems of transpor-
tation.
GoIdenrod Best Source
ct have collected up to date
nearly 1000 wild plants. The seeds
of 1,400 wild plants are being sown
in my garden of nine acres.

wild plants have been found to con-
tain rubber. At least twelve will
grow on the Southern cotton lands
without injury by frost. Goldenrod,
plain goldenrod that grows wild
abundantly in nearly every State,
is one of the best sources of rub
Der I have found among native wild
plants"

MARKET FOR HAIR OF
GREAT FLUCTUATES
One Napoleonic Lock Sold For SIS,
Another at $1,25O.

One Napoleonic Lock Sold For SIS,
Another at $3.50.
By United Press
LONDON, May 25.-No market is
subject to such wide variations in
price as that for locks of hair of
the great and the near-great.
A lock Of Napoleon's hair sold re-
Gently for only SIS which another,
no larger or more authentic brought
$3.50.
In Vienna a lock Of Shubert's
hair was put up for sale at auction
with only a $45 reserve attached.
Yet in spite of the fact that this
is the great composers centenary
year, not a single bid was registered.
A tiny wisp of Lord Nelson's hair
brought $1,575 while a similar relic
of the Duke of Wellington realized
only IS. A lock Of Goldsmith's
brought $5O-which would have
been a godsend to its owner during
his lifetime.

ment Circle will be undertaken by

moved from the circles in the near

intendent. asked the city to ban
parking in the circle several months
ago, but no steps have been taken to
conform to the plan.
Parking in Monument Circle is in

thing moving on the water ahead OF
him. What could it be? A little wave
broke right in his face and he couldn't
see. 1t might be danger. 1t might De
an enemy of some kind. Well, it
wouldn't be any worse to be caught by
an enemy than to be drowned. So Rusty
kept on-paddle, paddle, paddle.
Suddenly, right in front of Rusty:
appeared a fiat, very smooth piece OF
wood. Rusty didn't stop to examine It.
He climbed right on it. Then he saw
what it was He saw it was long stick
fiattered at one end and that the other
end was held by man in a queer little
thing that fioated on the water, which
was really a canoe. Rusty didn't hesi-
tate a second. He ran right up that
paddle-for, of course, that is what the
long stick was-kept right on up the
mans arm to his shoulder, and then
Jumped down into the canoe. He ran
forward and sat on the bow. You could
have heard the man laugh!
We'll, little chap" said he "you act
as if you are mighty glad to get out OF
the water. I guess it is a good thing
I happened along. The wind is blow
ing harder and soon it will be rough.
I am afraid you never in the world
could have made that shore. But well
make it now"
He turned his canoe toward the shore
and began to paddle. Rusty sat on the
bow facing the shore. The wind and
the sun soon dried him of, and by the
time shore was reached he was quite
himself. The moment the canoe was
within jumping distance Rusty Sprang
ashore and, with f1irt of his big tail,
climbed a tree. Halfway up he turned
and looked down at his rescuer, as
much as to say, "I can't speak your
language, but thank you just the
same"

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 13, 1856-Washington poll
ticians and political "wiseacres" here
and throughout the Nation are busy
constructing the new cabinet for Presi-
dent-elect Buchanan.
Now that the voting is over, it is pos
sible today to give accurately and in
detail the decision rendered by the
American people on election day, mo-
vember 4. The Democratic nominees
James Buchanan of Pennsylvania for
President and John c. Breckenridge OF
Kentucky for Vice President-have
been elected by 172 electoral votes
against 122 for John c. Fremont, Re
publican, and former President M1llard
Fillmore, the Whig and American party
candidate, combined.
Mr.. Buchanan'S popular vote is
1888, ,160 against total for both OF his
opponents of 2,2l5.768. The aggregate
popular vote cast for Fillmore was
874,534, and his electoral vote was only
8-that of the State of Maryland.
THE great battle is yet to be fought"
says The Evening Star today, referring
to the making of the new cabinet.
"All men of common sense" con-
tinues The Star, realize that, as mat

longer continuance of the Union rests
in being able to keep the Government
true to the letter and spirit of the Con-
Stitution'S compromises.
The issue of the New York Herald
received here today says: mo one can
possibly know better than Mr.. Buchan-
an the real qualifications and public
history of every man whose services to
the State have been and whose posi-
ton at home is such as to admit the
possibility that his name may be for
an instant considered in connection
with a cabinet appointment.
It is understood here that President
elect Buchanan is making up his cabi-
net slate and will seal up the list, not
to be divulged to living mortal until
after the deliverance of his inaugural"
March next.
On all sides Mr.. Buchanan Is being
warned against the avalanche of "ad-
vice" and pressure that is being brought
to bear upon him to appoint men to
the cabinet who may not be we'll fitted
to serve as his advisers and to aid him
in keeping the Union intact.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

The shot was an ordinary one, moth
ing OF emotional consequences man
and woman strolling down a corridor
and turning toward the lift. But high,
black screens shut out the entire set
from the gaze of such impudent ones
as might venture to the vicinity.
A lady was applying her eye to a
small square cut in one of the screens.
Quite humorously, she signaled that
she would yield her point of vantage for
moment The ensuing slight commo-
ton caused baleful glance in the
direction Of the peephole from Greta

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November 49,
Dita Parlo, German star, arrived In
Hollywood and faced the microphone
at q gala opening and made a brief
speech in fairly negotiable English.
She is small, brunette and somewhat
below the beauty scale of leading ladies
as they come these days. But she
makes up, it seems, for certain pulchri-
tudinous deficiencies by her ability to
act
Trained with the Germany company
which gave Emil Jannings, Conrad
veidt, Lya de Putt and other success
full stars Of Hollywood, she arrived at a
time when acting is the first considera-
ton.
Following the little Parlo at the
microphone was a we'll known director.
Cries of enthusiasm went up from the
street crowds who had been standing
for hours to glimpse the professional
world of Hollywood. Here is rough
idea of his speech:
Even folks. We just came from a
swell dinner at Jim So-and-So'S house,
and he gimme peach iva drink and
swell cigar. I donna who givvus
tickets. But. anyhow, folks, we're goin'
in and see the pitcher"
More applause, cries and hand-clap-
ping, all of which makes me believe
that the only way you can calm down
the enthusiasm of fans is to turn fire
hose on them.
Florence Vidor issues the announce
ment that she is tired of being called
the "best-dresSed woman in Holly
wood" She thinks that carefully
dressed" or ''thoughtfully dressed" fills
her idea of her sartorial effect far bet
ter. in which I, for one, agee heartily
with her.
Always pleasant to the eye, she has
no more original quality than the ten
thcusandth Ford turned out of Henry
Ford's shop has over the other nine.
Seeing Greta Garbo asst is a fine
test for hardihood. 1 recommend it to
those who have won decorations for
ieats of valor and conspicuous bravery.
Greta, now working on Javanese
picture, and desire to see the me-
chanics Of technique which is un-
douhtedly one of the most telling in
cinema art today, led me toward the
Garbo set.

look like nothing but two chairs with
slat backs fastened together. The legs
are short. These were put in the OK
carts and used by the family, as the
oxen plodded on their journeys
The Chippendale settees had Gabrielle
legs and ball and claw feet. Upholstery
was introduced in the seats. The back
was really in three parts, resembling
three Queen Anne chair backs Shera-
ton used the two and three backs and
cane seats. Sheraton also used the
curved arch back. Still later comes the
Empire, with carved feet, carved rail.
The lines of this sofa were familiar to
the group.

came in-cider in pewter mugs and
steamed brown bread with apple butter

freshments dated back to 1850 and the

BRAIN TESTS

Today's test consists of two problems
in arithmetic, which are of type which
occurs frequently. The commonest
arithmetical problem is of this nature.
What is the cost of five i-cent stamps
and FIVE 2-cent stampS?" The answer,
of course, is Is. But more intelligence
is required to solve the reverse Of such
problems For example: If bought IL
stamps for 16 cents how many of the
stamps cost cent and how many cost
cents? The answer here Is eight Is
and four Is. Allow yourself three min
utes for the solution of the two problems
given below.

Smart Slippers for Evening Wear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

There are brown suede evening slip
perS to wear with evening gowns OF
brown transparent velvet.
Black moire or crepe silk is newer
than satin for evening wear and owing
to its dull surface minimizes the size
of the feet In way that recommends
them to most women.
Slippers of crepe de chine or moire
TO match the gown or of tone some-
what darker than that of the gown are
chosen by some women who can afford
a special pair of shoes for every gown
Sometimes there is touch OF gold or
silver in the way of piping. or narrow
straps, and sometimes a small buckle
or strap of rhinestone. Usually ootn
metal and rhinestone are used with con-
siderable restraint, piping and straps oe-
ing quite narrow and buckles on eve
ming slippers often decidedly small.
No one now questions the smartness
of colored shoes for street wear. 1t is
not only that taste has changed, but
that the colored shoes have changed
as we'll. The vivid green or red or
blue shoes that we're presented as
novelty few years ago did not appear
to the majority of really well dressed
women but these new colored shoes are
quite different. Spanish brown, bottle
green, dark blue, wine red, are all so
dark and dull as to be barely more
conspicuous than shoes Of black.
For that wee baby in your family or
in some one else's family I would sug-
gest a nice warm sleeping bag for the
hours he spends sleeping outdoors in
baby carriage or crib. This weeks help

ly how to cut out one of these sleeping
bags-with directions for putting. to-

ripple followed them down. Now it
wasn't a big ripple, but it rocked a
certain stick to which was clinging
Rusty the Fox Squirrel. Behind the
first ripple came another ripple, and
back of that another ripple, and an
other and another. Each little ripple
rocked the stick to which Rusty was
clinging and gently slapped him in the
face. Now, Rusty knew enough about
water to know that little ripple may
sometimes grow into big wave. II
the wind should blow hard, the water
would become rough, and II it should
become rough, Rusty knew that he
might not be able to reach shore. He
would be much more likely to drown.
So there was nothing to do but to begin
swimming again.
Rusty drew a long breath, let go OF
that stick and started on, padding as
fast as he could make his legs go. The
ripples were not as gentle as they had
been at first. They were growing bigger
and bigger. Rusty was having hard
work to keep the water out of his nose.
He was frightened. Never. had he felt
more helpless than now. You see, there
wasn't a thing to do but keep on SWIM
ming. If he stopped swimming he
would drown. He must keep right on
no matter how tired he was. His legs
were beginning to ache again.
