that interest must be greater

Il do not believe that the selec-
iion can be made By comparing
grades obtained in examinations or
by a competitive examination as to

reCtly the appeal of Mr.. Edison. he
is looking for a boy who combines
most of the qualities which have
made Edison the great master and
the great contributor to human
progress.
Proud to Make Selection

There is no reason why the boy
sough. by Edison should not be
found In this state. He may attend
one of the small schools or he may
be in one OF our larger cities. He
may be boy from a humble home
or one from q palace. But the boy
| name must have qualifications
that will give him at least an equal
chance with boys from every other
state when the final choice IS made.
Il will consider it the greatest
triumph of my administration If l
am able to find the boy who shows
such promise that he is chosen by
Edison as his possible successor.
For indiana to furnish future Edi-
son would be a greater contribution
than to furnish a dozen Presidents" "
Search State Wide
The Governor will ask suggestions
and advice as TO the manner in
which the boy is to be selected. He
will endeavor to make the search
state wide. He will provide ma
chinerv by which the claims Of
every boy who aspires will be con-
Sidered and none ignored.
The announcement by Charles A.
Edison, son of the inventor, states
that the Governor of each state will
be asked to send a boy to Orange,
N. j., in August. To each OF these
boys Thomas Edison will submit a
questionnaire. From these answers
he will select one boy who will be
given. with all expenses paid, four
wears of training in a technical COL
Iege. to equip him with knowledge
to carry on the work of the great
inventor.
The expenses OF the boy to Orange
for the test also will be paid by Edi-
son.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR, Louis z. Bisch-

dEmOFf1lLlA
"A 1t is condition Of bleeding
which may occur either spon-
taneously, without apparent cause,
or from q slight wound, and 1t
is often uncontrollable. -
Persons Of this type are some
times spoken Of as "bleeders."
In them a trifling cut or scratch
or blow results in q flow OF blood,
slight perhaps, but lasting for
hours and possibly suffusing all
the neighborinE tissues internally
as we'll as flowing externally.
The cause Of the condition seems
to be hereditary.
1t has been established also that
the disease is almost always
transmitted through the female
line. That is, the daughter Of a
hemophiliac, although herself
free from the disease, Is almost
sure to hand on the disease to
her sons. Males are more COM
monty affected than females.
Usually the condition Is discov-
cred early in life, perhaps during
the first or second year.
A hemophiliac does not look Ill
in any way. In fact, the skin Of
these patients Is of soft texture
and displays no hint of any dis
ease. In some cases slight opera
tions, such as the extraction OF a
tooth, have proved fatal.
The coagulabiIity of the blood
its clotting properties-varies In
different persons. but In the
bleeder 1t Is much heightened.
Naturally, the daughters Of
hemophiliac should never marry
in order to avoid transmitting the
disease to their offspring.
Likewise, all children OF q
hemophlaes should be closely pro-
tected against cuts or injuries Of
any kind, and under no circum.
stances should they be subjected
to operations.
If an individual, child or adult,
suffers a severe henorrhage that
resists control, we should not
therefore jump to the conclusion
that the case is one of hemophilia.
Often. for instance. certain per"
sons suffer nose bleed which may
be difficult to arrest. Such at
tacks also may be very frequent.
This does not, however, warrant
the diagnosis of a hemophiiiac
condition.
On the other hand, If a tendency
to easy bleeding is in evidence,
and IL, furthermore. only slight
abrasions and wounds cause un.
controllable hemorrhage lasting
hours or perhaps days, then the
case should be investigated with
hemophilis In mind.
Spontaneous bleeding without
any injury Of any kind is charac-
teristic of true "bleeder" cases.
1t is also rather characteristic
for the hemophiliae to have
hemorrhages in the joints with
swelling, fever and pain which
may occur at intervals.
1t Is said that the longer a
hemophiliac lives the greater is his
chance Of not succumbing to the
disease.
In young children the outlook is
often grave although the first
bleeding attack is rarely fatal.
During q hemorrhage absolute
rest is essential,
Compression Of the parts. tying
the parts above and below the
bleeding point, etc, should, Of
course. be resorted to.
But above all. medical aid Is
necessary in every case of heno-
philiac heynorrhase no matter
how slight u may seem - the
sAEGAe0
