CALLER s ANT|C
COSTS HIM $40

BALTIMORE, Oct. 26.-Perhaps
it was the pealing of the church
bells, or, maybe, he had heard a
radio sermon, but, whatever the
cause, Steve Bernado yesterday
arose determined to be a Good
Samaritan.
In this role he must go about
visiting the sick and ministering
to their needs, so Bernado bent
his steps toward the home Of
James Mastra; whose wife was
i'll. Bernado had once lived in
the house now occupied by the
Mastra family.
But Mastra was not in a recep-
tive mood. In fact, he ordered
Bernado from the door. The
latter, however, was too filled
with a spirit of charity to become
insulted and entered despite the
protests of his hosts.
Bernado headed for the sick
room and Mastra bounded up the
steps after him. Overtaking the
unwelcome visitor, Mastra took
well-directed aim with a flower
vase, which bounced off Bernado's S
head.
Later in the day, the two ap-
peared before Magistrate Joseph
j. Rettaliata, who dismissed
Mastra on a charge of assault
and fined Bernado $40 for dis
turbing the peace.

West Orange, N. j., Oct. 19.-R)-
Thomas Alva Edison robbed nature Of
many secrets for the happiness Of
man, but he never found one secret
he sought-proof Of the Immortality
of the soul.
The electrical wizard, long and
avowed disbeliever in the existence Of
life after death, recently came to the
conclusion that it Is possible the soul
lives on.
Edison, although never troubled by
his disbelief, was perplexed that he
was unable to find proof Of immor-
tality. He urged and promoted in
vestigation. s.r III.
What brought Edison, at "a, his
health gone, to change his views after
81 years, may never be known.
That Edison came to believe In the
possibility Of an hereafter is revealed
by DR.. Hubert 8. Howe, his personal
physician.
DR.. Howe recalls a dinner-table con-
versation with Edison in which the in
ventor explained his theory. Even to
Edison 1t was vague, but 1t was q
theory that thought had made a con-
viction
DR.. Howe recalls Edison remarking:
"Well, II there is hereafter, it does
Mt matter, and If there isn't a here
after, it doesn't matter either. I've
lived all my life and done my best"
Form Might Change
Edisons view on the subject. as he
explained it to DR.. Howe, Is that man
might be made up Of lot Of intelli-
gent units which, though partially
dispersed at death, might live and per-
sist and prove indestructible and later
reunite in another FORM"
On his 80th birthday, Edison said:
II have stated many times, but no
one understands, that man is not the
unit of life, that he is dead as granite,
that the unit consists of swarms Of
billions of highly-organized entities
which live in the cells. I believe at
