Howe, announced in his morning bull
lctin.
Mr.. Edison passed a very restless
night the bulletin read. He ate a
fair breakfast and does not appear to be
weaker than last night. His vitality is
amazing"
DR. Howe said ordinarily he would be
able to predict when a patient In Edi-
sons condition would slip into the
coma preceding death In the case of
Mr.. Edison, however, he said such q
prediction was impossible because the
aged inventor was making such a val
liant battle for life"
DR.. Howe said that. although his ex-
epination did not reveal Edison was
any weaker today. 1t was only natural
to suppose the inventor was constantly,
if very gradually weakening.
President Hoover and close friends in
CURED constantly for any change in his
condition.
DR.. Howe had previously said the end
was inevitable. as the 84-year-old in
ventor was unable to take any liquids,
by which he might fight the uremic poi
soning, swiftly permeating his system.
Lawrence Richey. one of President
Hoover's secretaries, telephoned the Edi-
son home and requested that the White
House be notified of any change in his
condition.

not be made a laughing stock.
Pressed to make the trip by number
81 American visitors. Gandhi said today:
Holmes. in whose opinion I place the
greatest reliance tells me my visit would
be misunderstood that would be ex-
plotted, ridiculed and misinterpreted.
On the other hand. I've had pressing an
vitations signed by leading Americans.
IF these latter can convince Holmes
I ought to go to America I shall be glad
to reconsider my decision. I have
great affection for the American people
and feel sure that have great many
friends across the Atlantic, and I don't
want to sacrifice that friendship.
Received Many Invitations.
"Einstein, after visiting America, said
II was the greatest mistake OF his life,
because

! RELYING upon his remodeled racing
plane to produce the highest speeds ever
attained for long distance flight. Maj.
James H. Doolittle on Monday will at
! tempt to visit the capitals of Canada, the
United States and Mexico between dawn
| and dark. He expects to. arrive in the
National Capital at about o'clock Mon
day morning, stopping for fuel at Boil
! ing, Field.
Mai. Doolittle's flight. set for Column
i bus day, will start from Ottawa, Canada
| with the first flush of dawn and will
include fuel stops at Washington, Bir-
mingham, Ala, and Corpus Cristi, Tex
He expects to cut his fuel stops to a
maximum of 10 minutes each and to
make the entire flight of approximately
$500 miles in less than IL hours.
Will Use Biplane.
Doolittle will use the same little rae
! ing biplane with which he set a new
| transcontinental speed record of IL
| hours and Is minutes on September f.
after winning the $25.000 Bendix Trophy
race from Los Angeles to Cleveland, in
connection with the National Air Races
The trip from Ottawa to Mexico City
will be trifle longer than his trans
continental flight, he estimated.
Since the transcontinental flight the
little biplane has been speeded up by
improvement of the streamlining, which
tends to make it faster without addi-
tional outlay of power. Doolittle, how
ever, believes he will require every pos
Sible mile of additional speed to equal
his tranScontinental average.
1T will be more difficult to equal the
transcontinental mark" he said, be-
cause the course connecting the three
capitals lies in a southwesterly direc-
ton. and there will be greater risk of
having to fight headwinds."
