By WILLIAM J. HAMMER Lifelong Friend and Scientific Associate of Thomas A. Edison,
 as Told to Willis J. Rallinger. (Copyright, 1881, NEA Service Incl
 Although Thomas Alva Edison amassed millions through inven- tions, his fortune was comparative ly small when you consider the vast wealth that his genius created.
 Edison, of all men, did the most to create the age of giant industry and gargantuan finance, but while some of the money he received from the sale of his great inven- tions was unQuestionably large, it was insignificant in comparison with the true value of his ideas a value that was reaped in only a few years by others more skilled in the art of successful marketing.
 An editorial in a prominent New York newspaper in 1923 estimated that the commercial value of Edi- $15,000,000,O0O. The computation was as follows:
 Moving pictures, $1,25O, O0O, 900.
 Telephones, $1,00C,000,000.
 Electric railways, $6,500,000.
 Electric lighting and power, $5,- 000, 1000.
 Electric supplies $857,000,000.
 Fixtures, $37,0OO,00O.
 Photographs, $105,000,000.
 Electric car shops, $109,000,000.
 Dynamos and motors, $100,000,- 900.
 Edison storage batteries, $5,0oo.- 900.
 Cement. $271, 1,0o0,o ,ooo.
 Telegraph, $35O,000,000.
 Wireless telegraph, $15,000,000.
 The fact is that Edison long ago lost control of the real money making powers of his inventions But then, money never meant much to him-except for new in- ventions. His wants were of the simplest.
 His great years of inventiveness ranged from 1868, when he patent ed the vote recorder. which he hoped would be useful in putting an end to filibustering in Congress to the close of the World war;,
 The emergency of war aroused the veteran inventor to his last cre- ative spurt. Besides solving the pressing problem of how to obtain a supply of pheno1 so vitally need ed for aspirin. music and war

FOX HUNTERS QUIT HORSES;
USE AUTOS AND DOGS WORK
Have 20 Dogs in Pack; Hunter
Can Tell Kind Of Fox by
Sound Of YeIps

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 25.-(R-Prom
inent northcrners who set the pace
in Wall Street and high society have
discovered a new and highly divert
ing thrill in the old south.
They hunt foxes in automobiles.
Members of the fashionable winter
colony in Augusta in company with
the sportsmen here are enjoying a re-
vival in ultra-modern manner of the
venerable sport.
The sportsmen usually drive to a
table-land, completely surrounded by
swamp, park their cars. turn the
lights out and wait for the moor to
Come up.
When it shines deep and full over
the tall trees, the eager hounds,
brought along in the trailers, arc re-
leased.
There is All abundance Of both red
and gray foxes in this section this
year and many hunting parties al
ready have gone out. Some of the
local hunters who pilot the visitors
are T. j. Hamilton, DR.. l. H. Hicks,
Miss Grace Lockhart, S. B. Thomp-
son. M. w. Partridge, DR.. Frederick
Smith, H. B. Munday and S. J. Re-
velle.
A pack Of about 20 dogs usually ac-
companies the party. The fun of
the fox chase is chiefly in the never
to-be- forgotten music of the dogs
yelps and cries.
The fox hunter knows by the
sound of his dogs what kind of a fox
is being tlailed. If the fox runs in
a circle. the huntsmen know he Is
cray. The red fox usually runs in
straight course to the nearest hid
ing place.
The automobile hunters here wait
on the elevation and listen to the
music of the chase.
Seldom does a party 60 out, with
out bringing home a catch.
While the automobiles do not &C
follow the hounds through
horses have been discarded.

Giants.)
Last year the Giants led the league
In hitting with a mark of .3l9 and
were second only to the Cubs in the
matter Of long hits. In fielding, also,
the Giants were first. Despite this
record, the team finished third, five
full games behind the pennant-wi

The play Of the team was spotty.
At the start of the season, we piled
up a winning streak that surprised
me as much as anybody else. Then
the club went into a slump. On the
road, late In the season, the club
came back again to threaten the
leaders and fight all the way down
the stretch.
Have Reasons For Slump
1t Is sometimes hard to fix the
blame for a disastrous slump. All
teams have them, it seems. To win,
the right combination must be work.
