IMPORTED GENIUS

Native born Americans have given to
the would many epochal inventions, of
which the late Thomas A. Edison contrl-
buted more than any other single IN
dividual. But America also owes much of
its prestige in invention to the genius OF
foreiqn-born immigrants who added luster
to its brilliant record. A few of these may
be mentioned.
Ericsson who came from Sweden, in
vented the Monitor.
Alexander Graham Bell born in Scot
land, later lived in Canada, and as resi-
dent in the United States, gave the tele-
phone to the world
Emile Berliner came from Germany to
perfect the telephone and improve the
photograph.
Nicola Tesla from Austria-Hungary
invented the nducti' n motor and numerous
other epochal electrical devices.
Charles J. Vanderpoele from the
Netherlands devised the electric street car
trolley
Charles P. Steinmetz, coming from Ger
many as poor, deformed immigrant boy,
who borrowed money from fellow pas
senger in order to obtain admission to the
United States. won universal fame as an
electrical wizard.
Michael l. Pupin a poor immigrant
bow from Hungary, made long distance
telephony possible.
This by no means exhausts the list of
those of foreign birth who developed their
great natural talents after coming to the
United States. and who became iden-
titled with American scientific achieve
ment.

CONVENTION is CERTAIN

Rumors buzzing around Key West to
the effect that the American Legion con-
vention will not be held here can be labelled
utterly false.
The convention will be held here on
schedule and Legion members in charge OF
collecting the $4,000 necessary for its ex-
pense5 say there is no question but they will
have the money in plenty of time.
The Citizen may have added to the
lumors inadvertently by saying that Legion
collectors were finding uphill going, but
there never has been any question of their
getting together the money before the con-
vention is ready to start. Money has not
flowed in as rapidly as it was hoped, but
none of the Legion officials seem to be
worrying.
Efforts to get the Strand Theater for
the convention gathering hit a temporary
snag Saturday when the theater manager
informed Legion Commander Harold Rus
sell he would not permit its use. The
theater recently has been redecorated, he
said, and possible damage by the Legion
naires made him fear to allow their meet
ing.
Russell told The Citizen later how
ever, that the local post will take out insur-
ance covering any possible damage and he
is confident the theater will be used for the
meetings. The largest theater nearly al
ways is the scene of Legion conventions in
cities throughout the country, and the
Strand is by far the most convenient loca-
ton here.
Key West has great deal to gain by
providing the visiting Legion members
with warm greeting and helping them to
have a good time. There is no reason for
worrying about damage to anything in the
city, since as Russell says, insurance will
cover any accidents
The city, therefore, ought to forget
the rumors and settle down to making sure
the convention will be a success. 1t has
to be.
