For many years, Bennett
operated the Herald from his

spite the expense, he would
send for them as casually
as If he were calling them
from across the hall.
He summoned them with
such frequency that on &C.

he had ordered them to come.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
When things seem linked
they often are-by the very
people who feel they are the
victims. Nearly all of us hurt
ourselves if we do thIn2s
unwillingly, halfheartedly or
with guilty feelings.
The simple fact is that
when we do things out OF
love and the desire to do
well. obstacles seem unim-
portant and we are less vul-
nerable to accidents and err
rors. Without seeming to
think about it too much. all
our movements and OuJ ideas
are directed toward success
full completion of whatever
we undertake.
Mona's problem and her
ink are in her mind She
has not decided that she
wants to live in the new CON-
munity even for her hus-
bands sake. She has made
the childish demand that he
prove his love, even If it hurts.
This doesn't indicate that she
has learned to find much
satisfaction in her roles as
wife and mother.

braved the sneers of his friends
to invent the telegraph. Like
many great men. he suffered the
pangs of hunger and the crush of
defeat before achieving final
success.
It took the faith and resources
of many to invest i'm that first
company which built telegraph
line between Washington and
Baltimore. But nothing succeeds
like success. and then Morse and
his partners proved they could
send messages over electric wires
economically and efficiently.

Through the telegraph. many
men began to learn about cleo

his instruments as he wandered
around the country as tele-
grapehr. VISA destined to fame.
Above all others his name was
to stand out. clear and strong. as
the man who shed new light of
the world. He was Thomas Alva
Edison.
Like Samuel Morse. Tom Edi-
son knew what il was to be cold
and hungry and derided. But he
never lacked courage. His first
successful invention was an i'm
provement of the stock ticker.
For the patent rights to this in
vcntion he was paid the sum of
$4,000.
This single payment gave Edi-
son the independence he needed
to take full advantage of his in
vcntive genius. No longer was it
for him to carry on his
in makeshift quar-
tiers after IL weary hours bent
over n telegraph key. He invest
cd the money in laboratory and
and set about invent
ing on a full-time basis
Although he was barely 30
years old when he became seri-
ously interested in the incandeS-
cent lamp. Edison was already
famous. Besides his univcral
stock ticker. he had invented the
Iuadruplcx telegraph. which made
il possible to transmit four mes
sagcs simultaneously over sin
gle wire. a carbon transmitter
for the telephone. and the phono-
graph.
He was most popularity known
for the phonograph. of course.
but his work in telegraphy had
brought him to the attention of
many great figures in the bust
ness world. These men were to be
vital to his later success.
When he decided to invent n
practical electric light bulb
young Edison did what many con-
sidered a brash thing. He stated
TO the newspapers that he would
produce a commercially practi-
cal incandescent electric lamp
within six months.
Edison may also have realiT-
