EDISON, 69 YEARS OLD,
GIVES BIRTHDAY TALK
He Says Allies Will Win, tells
of His Inventions of Year,
and What-to Eat.;;, ; ' v.
Orange,. Feb. 12. (I. S.)-
Thomas Alva Edison was 69 years Old
yesterday. It waa th first day. in many
years that he arrived at his laboratory
late. r- ' ' ; -
"Tou aee, they dragged jne over to
New York to a dinner last night and I
did not get home until o'clock this
morningr.'f he explained.
."What were your greatest achieve
ments during the year?" the noted In
ventor was asked.
"The dlanibnd disc and chemicals."
he quickly replied.
He amplified this by saying.that he
now has nine plants turning out car
bolic acid and Its biproducts, with
prospects of a tenth in the near future.
Allle Will Win Wax.
Referring to th European war, Mr.
Edison said:
The allies will win, but the war will
last two years longer. Men, money
'.and the ability -to get things neces-
sary to carry on the war will win the
day eventually.' This country will not
become Involved."
t When the newspaper men were called
In, Mr. Edison was in the midst of ex
periments to improve the recording of
sound in phonographs. One of the
; features of the new method he is work
. lhg on is a large bowl of special shape
with a lining that absorbs sound in
. stead of throwing back echoes, there

Asked to glv 'hi rules Tor eating
Mr, Edison saidv , v
I cut your rood down to one-third or
t ohe-fourth of what you have been' eat
lng I eat three meals a day. It'
habit and nothing els. However, I
eat but a quarter of what the average
mn does."
Prohibition is a subject that is al
ways of Interest to him.
"Man isn't perfect yet, and you can
not take alcohol away from him all at
once," he said. "If you do he will re
sent the act. The percentage of alco
hol In beer should be reduced, while
whiskey and strong drinks should be
out altogether." "
The cigarette, of all things material,
has th Edison stamp of disapproval.
, JH: Xs"Por Suffrage.
"I'd hav law enacted and prosecute
everyone under 21 years of age smok
ing them." he declared. "I would just
as soon, see a man with a revolver as
aT boy with a cigarette."
Mr. Edison is an ardent advocate Of
suffrage for women.
"Women will vote," he said. "I favor
a national law on th subject. Th
instincts of women are good and. they
will have their voice in government.
Mr, Edison's eyes twinkled as he
smilingly added: ' ; -
"Theyll have their way. I guess
you know that as well as I."

In San Francisco Dr. Lyman Is de

court .Monday that the accused Pro

satisfy the court and the lawyer was
given 30. days to prove byj affidavits
that the notorious promoter is a
pauper. - ,
If reports from New York are cor
rect, however. Dr. Lyman is far from
a pauper and could pay the cost of
printing his appeal, $1438, many times
over. .
According- to federal authorities at
