Secretary; However, Reports

Expressing his first public opinion on
The present inadequate compensation
of the officers of the Army" Secretary
Of War Good has written a letter to
Representative w. Frank James Of
Michigan reporting unfavorably On the
uniform allowance bill now under oon-
sideration by the House committee on
military affairs.
This BILL" Mr.. Good said, would
serve the laudable purpose of increas-
ing somewhat the present inadequate
compensation of officers of the Amy
It Is believed, however, to be of too
limited application to fully meet pres
ent requirements; would discriminate
in favor of one of the Uniform serv-
ices now covered by the Joint pay act
and would greatly increase the COM
plication which now confronts us in
the administration Of law prescribing
allowances.
= "It is believed that the necessity of
the Government and these individuals
would be best served by making the
pay OF officers adequate to meet all
expenses to which they are subjected,
including that Of uniforms. The man
ner OF revising existing rates Of pay
to provide adequate compensation for
all purposes is now Under considera-
ton.
In view of the reasons above stated,
am constrained to recommend aeains;
an enactment OF H. r. 703 as a sepa-
rate measure at this time in anticipa-
ton of the cost of uniforms and equip

factors when general pay legislation is

-Eighty-two years old and rapidly re-

The quotation Is In an article in the
current issue of the Edison Plant Mag

chief aide and secretary of Mr.. Edison.
THE man who has reached the age of
SO Is just about ready to discard the
illusions built upon false theories, for
which wrong instructions and usually
ignorance previously have made him an
easy mark" Edison declared.
AT 36 he is just beginning to get
down to business. If he 10 really worth

tered, knockless, unshocked life. At SO
he ought to be prepared to meet with
realities and after that period in his
life until he Is 80 he should be able
to handle them with steadily increasing
efficiency"
The inventor assumes that the man
he Is speaking Of has not undermined
his health by life of intemperance.
subsequently, II ne mas not injured
his body by unhealthy living, he may
very rightly continue to be increasingly
efficient up to his eightieth birthday,
and in exceptional cases until CO."
In another article by Mr.. Meadow

regarding the effect of his deafness
upon his life: u have no doubt that my
nerves are stronger and better today
than they would have been If had
