day ever had in my life 1t was what the
advertising man would call Red Letter day.
I had received by air mail lovely engraved
invitation from Mr.. Henry Ford and his son,
Edsel, to be present at Dearborn at the cele-
bration of MIR. Edison. So grabbed the old
plane and reserved passage and away I went.
Got there on Monday morning, the day OF
the big doings. Was first taken to the hotel
and then the guests were sent to Dearborn. Mr..
Hoover come In by train from Washington and
he and his party were transferred to an old
time wood-burner engine train on the Port
Huron Railroad It was the same one Mr..
Edison used to work on. He was what was
called News Butch, that is he sold everything,
papers, candy and all that.
Well he even, as a young boy, was of an
inventive mind. He use to keep his junk in
the baggage car, and along with it a lot Of
chemicals and tools that he would experiment
with. Well one of the frs things he invented
was setting a train on fire I'm the baggage
car while 1t was in motion. It had never been
done before, and they didn't leave him on the
Job long enough to ever repeat the experiment.
The experiment worked and he left.
Well, sir, do you know this man Ford had
reproduced that whole thing, the train, the
little depot where he was fired. They put ON
everything but the fire and would have done
that if MIR. Edison had just had some matches.
mr.. Hoover and party were on the train. Mr..
Edison was in his old role Of Candy Butch. He
went through the cars crying his wares. The

for which all audiences will be grateful. Then
when they got on at the depot there was Q
whole town of that early period reproduced.
THERE was dozens Of cabs with horses hitched
u to 'em, and they hauled every one all
around from one place to another. It was
Gdrizzlng a little light rain all day. But no
tone noticed that.
The President and Mrs. Hoover had to be
down in the City of Detroit, as they were to
be paraded through the streets of the city, and
they insisted on it being in an open car. Mrs.
Hoover was smiling through the rain dripping
of an unpowdered nose. They risked pneumonia,
but they saved Michigan to the Republican
party. 1t made big hit with everybody, them

ON the night Of the Sd Of August. 1872.
Marie Antoinette, Queen Of France, was
brought to the Conciergerie from another
prison, called the Temple. where she and her
family had been in captivity for nearly one
year. Despite her rank, and what she had
been accustomed to even in her previous
prison, she was now placed in narrow dark
cell, her bed straw mattress on bunk, the
furniture one common chair and an ordinary
wooden table. After some days Of illness she
was given an old armchair.
It is to be regretted that the cell had not
been left in the state it was when she oc-
cupied it. Louis XVIII had it enlarged TO
form a small chapel in which a service was
celebrated on the anniversary of the Queens
execution. This service was abandoned about
IS years ago, when law passed separating
the church from the state
The cell adjoining that of the Queen was
occupied in the last days Of the revolution by
Robespierre for few hours before his execu-
ton. Further ON Is tribunal chamber where
all victims of the revolution were accused but
not tried Here Marie Antoinette stood before
Judges and bowed to the verdict sending her
to the scaffold. In the prisoners chapel near
by. where services formerly were celebrated
for the inmates, are gathered some very inter-
esting relics Of the past, mostly dealing with
the days Of the revolution. fac-simile OF the
last letter OF MaIle A0tOulebtc W GAiAA@S~
beth, the Kings sister, Is one Of the most
interesting This letter was written just few
hours before the Queens departure for the
guilIotine She intrusted its delivery to the
jaiIer's wife, but the latter, frightened by the
possible consequences If found out, gave 1t to
one Of the members of the revolutionary
tribunal Later on it was found under the
mattress Of RobespierTe, after he himself had
parted with his head.
In the prisoners chapel the armchair for
merly used by Marie Antoinette has been
brought from her cell to make room for the
little altar erected by Louis XVIII. Then, most
terrible of sights, one looks upon the knife
of the guillotine, which was used to behead
thousands Of French citizens, as well as the
King and Queen and many mobiles, in the
name Of democracy and liberty. The blade is
fairly rusty, lending to 1t a bloody appearance.
On the walls hang a number OF paintings all
picturing revolutionary episodes Among them
Is a portrait Of Marie Antoinette during her
captivity It's sorrowful expression, the dizziness
of the eyes. tell more Of those tragic times
than scores Of written pages.
Coming out of the chapel around the corr
ridor is a room lined with rough benches. This
place was reserved for the women condemned.
Here they were prepared for the guillotine by
the prison barber, ever busy with shears. About
this low-ceiled room hangs even today dark
and sinister atmosphere which makes ones
heart heavy while dwelling upon the anguish
of all the poor creatures, torn from famMy
and friends waiting In here to meet their fate
One is really quite relieved when going once
more out into free air and the sunshine.

infinitely and went up and got in conversation
with him, and who do you think it was? 1t
was Julius RoSenwald, the great Philantropist
and head Of Sears Roebuck, the man who sells
more stuff In year than any man living. Here
he was looking over this old store, and maybe
you think he wasn't getting kick out of it.
We bummed around good deal together there
the rest Of the day. I was trying to see If
couldn't nick him for an appropriation for
starving actors, whose voice didn't register

finally decided that they should be radio an

Put it was just Joy to see just hundreds OF
the men that we read about all the time
in every big activity going on. Well, here they
were just cumming around, everything they
looked at 1t must have brought back old
memories for after all, pretty near all Of our
big men are country or smaIl-town boys. There
was the old schoolhouse, where Henry Ford had
gone to school, with the original benches, an
old MILL an old church. In bringing the old
laboratory of Mr.. Edisons from Menlo Park, New
Jersey. he had even brought dozen or more
carloads of Jersey clay. This old red, sticky
stun, and had it around the front of ths
labratory, and Mr.. Edison noticed it, too. 1t
was, think one Of the greatest thoughts and
the most perfectly carried out things ever at
tempted In America. All these great dnancierS
and men of big affairs just felt like kids at
county fair.
1t was marvellous and the dinner that night
In an exact reproduction Of the old Liberty Hall
in Philadelphia. There was real splendor and
old time magnifcience. heard all of them
say that 1t was the greatest banquet in every
respect that was ever held. And the old gentle
man made fine little talk the longest perhaps
in his entire career. was sitting near his SON
and he told me that his father had been worried
about it for weeks and had even practiced It.
but could never quite get through 1t. He did
that night, but he was overcome with emotion
at the end, but he wouldn't speak, but he GER
tainly got rousing hand The only sad note
Of the day was that one of Edsel Ford's children
was very sick with diptheria that day and he
or his charming wife was not present at all.
But 1t was proud day for Henry Ford, and
1t was great treat to everybody else. just
think we all got something worth while to hand
down TO our grandchildren. It will be like men
living today who saw Lincoln. "Say you kids
