Mr.. Edison was one of that quartet
of famous business men whose close
friendship was manifested in their an
nual vacation taken together. The
others were Henry Ford, Harvey S.
Firestone and the late John Burroughs.
after the death Of Mr.. Burroughs the
other three continued their annual out

It was on one of these trips that
Mr.. Edison first became interested in
the idea of growing rubber in the
United States. In the course of a dis
cussion on rubber, Mr.. Ford expressed
apprehension that the foreign supply
soon would be exceeded by the de-
mand, and, turning to Mr.. Edison
asked, why don't you do something
about itp"
Il will, Immediately" replied Mr..
Edison.
The inventor then acquired plan

and weeds from which he could obtain
certain amounts of rubber and sent
agents an over the country to collect
specimens with which he could expert

ment.
"Twenty-Four Hours" shown at

sometimes to magic direction and to

old witch, and "our own" Minor
Watson in a small but capably
played role
They're all good-and the director
has tied them up into that small
Knot which was the virtue of the
book. Although many of the main
characters have been thrown over
board, the film is an excellent ex-
ample of how out of an almost I'M
limited assortment of names and
places a shrewd writing gentleman
(such as is Mr.. Weitzenkorn, who
put together the scenario) may
finally weed out the best and produce
eventually something that is ex-
tremely palatable screen fare.
One may, Of course, object to some
Of the speakeaSy drama. But as far
as brutality is concerned-and the
director might have filled the pic
ture full of tan example of ex-
IRENE skill with the toning down
brush is the SCENE in which Rosie
is murdered by her husband. You
don't see it-not any bit of 1t. All
you hear is the photograph grind

club songs, and hear a few extreme
ly modulated screams. It's a grand
scene-excellently handled.

The fact that electric railways and

Of the Edison brain, having been worked
out in the 1879-1882 period which saw
the labor on the incandescent lamp and
the Edison dynamo brought to fruition.
The pioneer electric line was built in
1880. In the same year was begun the
manufacture of electric lamps, switches.

which permitted installation of the first

bury, Pa, in 1881. The next year the
first commercial lighting central sta

by the Edison interests at 255-257 Pearl
street, New York.
The whole civilized world took cog
nizance of this period Of Edison devel-
opment in 1929 when it celebrated with
an Edison Jubilee Year" the fiftieth
anniversary of the invention Of the
filament lamp. Europe, Asia, Africa and
South America joined with North
America in doing honor to the man who
had freed industry and households from
dependence upon oil and gas illumir1a-
ton. He took it all with characteristic
simple modesty.
Another typical action of Mr. Edison's
late years was the help he gave high
school youths ambitious for technical
education. The typical part OF this
movement was the practically with
which the scheme was worked out so
as to bring prize students from every
State together in nation wide contest.
The examinations, which determined
the ultimate yearly winners were not
only technical but designed as well to
test the general intelligence and intel
lectual alertness of the boys. A foun-
dalton of common sense coupled with
talent for scientific research was en-
phasized by the founder of the tests
as requisite for success, illustrating the
tenacity with which he chung through
the years to his determination to work
only for results which would be useful.
Honored by Government.
Mr. Edison was in his 82d year when
the United States Government honored
him by presenting him with the Con-
gressional Gold Medal "in commemora-
ton of his achievements in illuminate
ing the path Of progress through the
DEVELOPMENT and application Of his In
ventions." The exercises. which were
broadcast over a radio network, took
place at the Edison laboratory at West
Orange, and included an address by
President Coolidge, broadcast from
Washington. The President praised the
inventor as representing the finest
traditions of our citizenship.
At the same time Mr.. Coolidge sent
tie following message to Mr.. Edison;
Noble, kindly servant of the United
States and benefactor of mankind, may
you long be spared to continue your
work and to inspire those who Will

later night operator for the Grand
Trunk Railway at Stratford Junction.
Canada. There, the story is told, he
conceived the idea for his first con-
trivance, a device to thwart orders for
an all-night vigil promulgated by the
circuit manager.
The latter, fearing that young Edi-
son might fall asleep at his lonely post
ordered him to tick off the signal six"
every half hour That, to Edison
seemed senseless, so he rugged up a
wheel with notches that automatically
licked off the required signal.
Edison left his job at Stratford juno
ton in haste without even the formality
of a resignation when he permitted a
train, which he was directed to stop,
to pass by the station. Taking time to
reply to the order, he found upon reach
ing the station platform that the train
had gone by. A disastrous collision
was averted only because the engineers
of the two trains travelling toward each
other on straightaway track were able
to stop them in time.

Fagoting is a dressmaker touch that

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.

Impulsive behavior is life-moVement
In some forms Reinforcement is simple;
in others, extremely complex.
A tree grows. 1t has an impulse to
grow. The impulse is a vital force for
which no one has as yet accounted.
A geranium in the window turns to-
ward the light That is speciality in
its life formula. The impulse to turn
is called a light tropism, Chemistry
may one day explain it.
An amoeba is little more complex.
It specializes in two submovements;
moving toward satisfying things and
away from annoying things. Still the
dual movement is called tropism.
Physics and chemistry together may
one day give a complete account of
this action and reaction, this search for
pleasure and avoidance Of pain, this
impusive behavior.
In the case of human beings, the life
movement may take on thousands of
submovements, impulsive acts. There
really is no limit to the variety. I'M
pulsive acts on the human level are
said to be due to instincts and emo
tons. Chemistry will explain some OF
them, digestion. for example. Physics
will explain others, such as breathing
A host of other actions and reactions
are explained by psychology. Anger
gives rise to an impulse to strike; fear,
to run away; love, to approach.

tucked them in sleeves and coat edge.
Many of the muffs of this year have
deep capes to match. Quaint, they are,
as we'll as comfortable. A shaped cape
over the shoulders and a nice little
muff over the fingers.
Most of the new NUTS are fairly
small, many of them melon shaped.
They are made In all furs, but the
short-haired furs fit in best with their
style and shape.

fur enough for muff and collar set
