INCREASE is FORECAST

Special 0iSpHbCn 70 Inc 0thE.
CHICAGO, June 32.-An upward
trend In newspaper advertising lineage
was forecast by Lloyd Maxwell, presi-
dent OF the Williams & Cunningham
Advertising Agency, at a meeting Of the
Chicago Newspaper Representatives
Association today.
"Reductien of advertising rates Is in
no way the answer to the present
stringency," Mr.. Maxwell said. "Those
publishers who have Steadtastly main
tained their rates and who have
strengthened their cooperation to ad-
yertisers are contributing to the gen.
eraI Improvement in business"
A more detailed study of markets
and fields of distribution, coupled with
intensive and concentrated advertising
in daily newspapers, was held as one
of the solutions Of the business
dilemma.
with its compact, concentrated
coverage, the daily newspaper is equip
ped to meet opportunities as they arise, >
Mr.. Maxwell said, land the advertiser
who takes advantage of that fact has
a splendid opportunity to ride the crest
Of business revival"

 The old man. thought he would. As far back as 1912, when Ted dy" was 14 years old, Edison ap- plauded his efforts. The boy then was experimenting with floating bomb. Tn mixing chemicals he obtained an explosive which blew the bomb to bits. Dozens of frag- tnents ripped his clothes and some caused minor wounds. Although Mrs Edison was frightened, her husband merely chuckled when he saw the boy was not injured seriously.

 Tn the laboratory Edison and his talented son often toiled together for hours without a word being spoken.
 Theodore dislikes pomp and ceremony. He is even shyer than his father was. He often has avoided publicity. content to re- main in the background and pre- pare himself for his life's work. In only one respect did he disagree
 with his father. The elder Edi- son was opposed to a college edu- cation, but Theodore insisted that training was necessary-and won
 his point.
 In 1925 Theodore married Miss Anna Maria Osterhout, daughter of a Harvard biologist. She studied
 to be a physician but gave up her career when she married. She oft

AAf9 I
 West Orange. N. J.-That day 1o years ago assumes new significahce now. A elender. clean-cut youth had just been. awarded his dipio- ma at MOntcIairs academy After the exercises one of the professors accosted him, then greeted a whiteS haired man who placed an arm affectionately around the young ster's shoulders.
 ''What are you going to do now?" the professor asked.
 I'm going to try to follow in my fathers footsteps," proudly de- clared the boy, and the white haired man beamed.
 The youth was Theodore Edison. The elderly man was Thomas A: Edison. And that incident was prophetic of what has happened from that day until the present.
 Like Father, Like Son
 Since the death of the aged in- ventor has brought an even fuller realization of his genius, the whole world naturally asks: "Who, if any body, will take Edison's place?"
 The answer is Theodore Edison. Ever since he was a small boy ne has worked with his father in the laboratory at Menlo Park when ever he could leave his studies. His whole life has been linked with experimentation. He has an inventive turn of mind.
 Now only 33 years old, some eight years younger than the next brother, Charles Edison, he never theless is well prepared to succeed his father. He studied at Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. took five years of postgraduate work there and in 1924 went 70 work in the Edison laboratories.
 Ten years ago when Theodore was stiil in college his father was asked 8 few questions about his son. The inventor was enthusias- tic at once. He freely predicted a bright future for him, declared he had great creative ability and should go far in research work.
 Theodore Edison resembles his father in many ways. He has the same broad forehead, the same thoughtful expression. As his fa- ther did, he often becomes so in- terested in his work he forgets everything else. They will tell you at the factories that although he often attends business meetings of the company he seems disinterest- ed and if asked for an opinion usually replies: "Go ahead, any, thing you do will be all right with me-" That is a peculiarly Edison ian characteristic. For Edison, ST, took little interest in business mat ters.
 So naturally now Charles Edi- son, as president of Edison Indus tries, Inc, will continue as direc- tor of business policies while the younger Theodore will strive to fol- low the lead of his immortal fath- CT. Charles, too, went to M. I. T. but in recent years his energies have been directed towards solving tho commercial problems of the concern.
 During the few years since Edi- sons health commenced to fall Theodore has been director of re-

PASTORS ASKED.
To AID SEALS

Mrs. Norbert Melnick, chair
man of the Christmas seal sale
committee in Arlington county,
yesterday mailed out to ministers
of the county an appeal to aid in
the sale by setting aside Sunday.
December 6, as Christmas Seal
Day.
The seals are sold for the pur-
pose of permitting the local
health department to carry on its
fight against tuberculosis, and
Mrs. Melnick expressed the be-
lief that ministers could greatly
aid the campaign by complying
with this request.
Her letter, in part, follows:
"The Arlington County Tuber-
culOsiS Association feels that if
the several churches of the
county set aside December 6
as Christmas Seal Day in order
to encourage the congregations
to aid this work by purchasing
and using Christmas Seals, great
benefits will be derived there

CHEST ACCEDES
To LEGION s
DEMANDS
Controversy Over Separate Re-
lief Organization Settled
BY Charity Groups

The skirmish between the
American Legion and the Com
munity Chest has resulted in
victory for the veterans Or
ganization, the chest having
agreed to accede to the demand
of the legion for a separate re-
lief organization.
The decision of the chest to
drop it's plan for consolidation of
the relief work of the legion and
the Disabled American Veterans Of
the World War followed a meet
ing of the chest executive COM
mittee with representatives Of the
legion yesterday.
Ultimatum Presented
The legion presented an ulti-
matum in which it demanded
continuance of its relief work
under separate organization
and a budget which it considered
adequate for it's needs. While
the Chest plan called for bud
get of $26,515 for the proposed
consolidated group, the legion
demanded 100000 for its work.
The veterans also objected to
the demand of the Chest that
legion relief workers be eligible
to membership in national
social workers group, resenting
the assertion of Chest heads that
legion relief workers were incom-
petent.
Street in Statement
Elwood Street, director of the
Chest, said the decision of his
group was not brought about by
the threat of the legion to with
draw from the Chest.
It is expected, following this
adjustment of the row, that
legionnaires who have been with
holding their contributions to the
Chest pending the outcome of the
dispute will now contribute.
