A Message From the Brink

A Message From the Brink
AS Thomas A. Edison totters on
the brink of the grave before the
final curtain drops upon his useful
life, America could do worse than
ponder his example and apply his
advice to its current problems.
II a man has been fired" from
his Job, it might interest him to know
that Edison was fired" upon sew
eral occasions. If his job is a hard
one, 1t should lend new determina-
ton to realize that Edison's ability
to hang on and keep trying did as
much to win success for him as his
great brain and his keen perceptions.
If he feels like losing courage and
giving everything up as hopeless, he
might be cheered by Edison's words
in one of his last public utterances
a message to the electrical manufac-
turers of America early this year.
The electrical wizard said: "Be
courageous. I have lived loLg time
I have seen history repeat itself
again and again. I have seen many
depressions in business. Always Amer.
lea has emerged from them stronger
and more prosperous. Be as brave
as your fathers were before you
Have faith. Go forward"
It is a message which America
needs just now and one worth think.

reported as being traded for cotton,
grain and even walnuts. A Cincin-
natl furniture house is reported to
have developed an extensive walnut
distribution business in consequence
of accepting walnuts in return for
furniture. A southern planter re-
Gently paid for his daughters college
tuition by "ear-marking" for the col
lege a certain number Of bushels Of
pecans.
Another change quite commonly
noted is the tendency developed from
the unemployment problem Of buy
ing more and more from local indus
tries. One obvious way of dealing
with local unemployment problems is
the creation of local employment by
patronizing local rather than ma
tional plants. Whether this be the
major cause thereof or not, it is ap-
parent that the sound local indus
tries are suffering relatively less from
business curtailment than the ma
tional ones.
A Bismarck merchant, commenting
on market conditions as he sees them,
observes that the little fellows" are
not being hit as hard as the larger
manufacturers. His explanation is
that the smaller business is more
readily adaptable as to overhead
costs and other conditions and is un-
der eyes which may be more watch
full than is the case with men hired
by a corporation.
Without prejudice to the larger
concerns, it might be remarked that
this fact is an encouraging one for
the future of the United States. The
relatively small businesses, taken to-
gether, are still more important to
the nation than the large ones.

NEW

|!I||| Gilbert var

New York, oct. 13.-Manhattan's
latest three-ring circus is the new
Waldorf f-Astoria hotel. a dizzy pam
Drama of wonders which now joins
the list Of what-to-see-in-New York.
Like the big-top shows. the new
hostelry has its freaks and its spec
tacular stellar attractions; it has BIZ
zarre innovations and acres Of lux
ury. There is q super-special suite
that costs $125 a day and there are
ritzy clubs whose bookings Of spe-
cial quarters make one ponder the
question Of the much discussed de-
preston. Although I'm inclined to
be bored by statistics, it is somewhat
surprising to learn that 1900 Holsters
are gobbled up in single hall hour;
that 1900 walters are standing about
waiting: and that somebody's private
railroad train is parking down where
the basement ought to be.
When it came to luxurieS, the old
Waldorf was not exactly slouch
The old-timers recall the time when
David Moffatt, the multi-millionaire
westerner whose name decorates the
Moffatt road, hove into town and de-
cided to take up quarters in the his
toric Waldorf. Looking over the place
he leased suite which included O
private ballroom, q drawing room and
any number of bedrooms. Yet he
used the quarters only a couple OF
times year, when he came to New
York for directors meetings.
The early days Of the famous old
place are colorful with tales of bo-
nanza kings in from the west on
spending spurts. There was, for in
stance, the picturesque Henry Tabor
whose daughter became known as
"Silver Dollar" Tabor because her

daddy had been 50 lucky at hitting

daddy had been SO lucky at hitting
"pay dirt"
Well, that's all past tense now.
In the new hostelry, for instance,
you'll find a telephone gadget that
keeps track of the checking-in-and-
checking-out Of several thousand
people.
For some reason or other, every
important new building has its quota
of folk who want to be the first to
register and the first to use the
phone and the first to ride in the
elevator and the first to occupy a
room-and all that!
Invariably they are visitors who
can go back home and tell the folks
all about it.
A gent from Grand Rapids, Mich,
by name Of A. E. Kusterer. sent his
luggage to the hotel q week before
it was officially ready for occupancy,
kept the room for a night and then
took the train back home. He car
ried an autographed receipt by way

The eastern border Of the United
States has been undergoing one of
the most severe attacks Of tnfantile
paralysis that it has suffered for
many years. With the coming Of cold
weather. the condition will clear up.
That has been the history Of epi-
denies Of infantile paralysis almost
since the beginning Of our knowledge
Of this disease. y the first week
in September there were stu more
than 400 cases In Connecticut as coll
traSted with normal conditions Of
around 10, and there were still more
than 600 cases In New York as con-
trasted with normal conditions Of
around 20.
Infantile paralysis usually begins
to appear in June, increases during
July and August, diminishes in Oc-
tober and disappears by November.
About q year ago California and the
middle west suffered severely, but
the attack in the eastern states is
more severe than it was In the por-
tions mentioned.
In New York city during the pres
ent epidemic, more than 10 per cent
Of the cases have occurred in chill
dren under S years of age. Few cases
have occurred in children over Is
years Of age, which is an indication
of the way in which the general pub-
lie has been immunized against this
disease from some sort Of exposure.
When the blood Of most human be-
ingS Is examined, it Is found that

they have in the blood some sub
stance which Is opposed to infantile
paralysis. Thus the idea has arisen
among scientific observers that the
substance which causes this disease
spreads to many people causing lit
tie or no disturbance, but that in 8
small percentage it gets into the
spinal cord and attacks the tissues of
the spinal cord, affecting the special
nerves that control muscular action.
For this reason the disease is called
anterior which means the front: pol
iomyelitis, which refers to the nerve
tissue that is attacked.
It has been quite well established
that the infection is spread from
one person to another by the excre-
tions and secretions Of the human
body. The living material which
causes this disease may survive out
side the body for q considerable
amount of time. All that we can do
to prevent the spread of this disease
Is to keep children fairly well iso.
lated during the period when it is
prevalent. 1t has been shown that
children in institutions who are care
fully prevented from coming into
contact with outside children or peo-
pie during an epidemic are not likely
to develop the disease.
During the summer months If chill
dren are kept at summer camps con-
stantly and no visitors allowed, they
are not likely to be attacked by in
fantile paralysis. The coming Of Wis
itors from various places to visit the
children in the camp may bring the
disease among them.

The Wealthiest Cat

When the worlds wealth;eGt ca,
died recently it won mention in many
newspapers throughout the country
because it was unusual for a cat to-
leave an estate of approximately $685.
900.
Yet that is what Mitzi, 18 years old,
left for a wondering world to worry
about.
AS might be expected, the cat was
provided for by its former owner. DR..
Maud Cain Ide, who died in October,
1880, and made provision in her will
for the care of the cat until the ami
NAL should die. The remainder Of
her $26500 estate went to charity
and so will Mitzi's share, now that
the cat is definitely dead, regardless
of how many lives a cat is supposed
to have.
The whole business throws into
prominence two traits of human ma
ture which often are at odds. One
is the love Of children, the other is
the love for animals.
All too often, dogs or cats are the
only ornaments for laps which GER
tainly are ample enough for chill

those laps would be far happier fol
