J0.4-AP) Thomas A. Edison
will be 80 years old tomorrow.
Hailed by the rest of the world
as theday which will bring into
the realm of the octogenarian's
a man who has made possible in
dustries whose capital amounts to
$J5,00,000, its approach appar
ently mean nothing here tonight.
At the factory and offices the
usual routine continued through
out the, day. At the offices the
presence of several newspaper
photographers seeking pictures of
the inventor was the only outward
sln of an event forthcoming.
.Driven by an unliveried chau
ffeur In a 1922 model Ford an
open car Mr. Edison, arrived at
the laboratories shortly a.f.ter 9
o'clock this morning. Four hours
later, the chauffeur returned to
take him home for Junch and
within 4 5 minutes Edison again
passed into the enclosure about
the plant, smiling a greeting at the
aged gateman.
No public celebration was plan
ned by West Orange. A quiet re
ception will take place at the Edi
son home in Lllewellyn Park at
which Henry Ford and Harvey
Firestone, tire manufacturer, are
expected. Mr. Edison may drop
in at the dinner in Newark of the
Edison Pioneers, a group of men
associated with him for many
years.
Mrs. Edison today characteriz
ed her distinguished husband as
"a tease."
' "It there is any point about
which you are sensitive," ksh9
laughed, "he dwells on it. He's a
great tease; he will tell you what
ypu don!t like to Jie&r,
"He is happy in his home. Mr.
Edison likes to have people about
him; het .never wants to. be left
ajpne, r-But ho doesn't want to.be
bothered. Nor does fi.e enter fnto
what is-going onaround him. iHe
reads the newspapers religiously
and magazines by the score. , Once
in a great while he will pick ap a
detective story and read it in one
sitting. Never a novel. He doesn't
like games, such as cards."

DISCUSS DRAINAGE BILL
Giesy Explains Need for Aid in

The drainage bill for the relief
of property owners in southeast
Salem was discussed last night at
Pa senate .committee meeting, but
no definite action was taken.
Representative Giesy, author of
the bifyj.sdj&i
for the land owners outside the
city limits to cooperate with those
within: aa the district could not be
properly-? drained '.within the city
limits.! ThntiAhe, present way of
electing supervisors of the district
was not fair to all concerned and
that it ties the hands of the prop
erty owners in the city.
Dr. ; Brown, city and county
health officer, said that., he was
only interested in, th& bill insofar
as the health of. the city and dis
trict was concerned. He explained
that. the. water backed up-. in the
sewers causing a very unsanitary
condition. That the city could not
property sewage the district with
out enormous expense.
The committee suggested that a
ditch be dug along the border of
the cltv limits to divert thn wfltpr
through one main channel through j
the city. . 1
WHY NOT ARiaSST THEM ALL?
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. AP)
Rapidly approaching the final test
of its strength, the McNary Han-
gen farm relief bill" was debated in
both the house 'and senate today,
with interest manifest as to what
President Coolidge would do if it
Us passed,
i ' For a while it appeared that the
bill had gained strength. In the sen
ate, where a vote will be taken to
morrow. Chairman McNary of the
agriculture committee announcing
that an agreement had been reach
ed with southern senators to vote
for the measure with the equaliza
tion fee on cotton . deferred two
years, and the Bledcoe insurance
plan in effect' meanwhile.
Latex, however,' this program
seemed to be upset as a result of a
conference in' the" office of Vice
President Dawes,, who ' has advo
cated application of the equaliza
tion fee on all commodities alike.
A number of western and southern
senators attended, and a differ
ence of opinion developed as to
whether the fee on cotton should
be deferred. -
' Informal -conferences were con
tinuing, between senators tonight
in an effort to agree oa a program
, that' would give the bill enough,
support to insure its passage.
In the house, advocates of the
blir freely predicted passage while
its opponents speculated on the at
titude of President Coolidge.
Representative Tincher, repub
lican Kansas, who led the admin
istration's fight in the house ' on
the McNary-Haugen bill last year,

Portland plan, as a direct result
of the prospectus given by Arthur
A.- Goldsmith, secretary treasurer
of the Portland service, who spoke
before 25 representative business
leaders-at the chamber of com

'The Portland service was or.
ganlzed a year ago, using the sys

in Cleveland, Ohio, and other east

sponsoring increased payrolls and
adding capital' to small "going
firms' became stronger, Portland
chamber of commerce leaders saw
the need of some means to carry
on this work outside the sphere of
Its parent organization.
The Portland industries financ

Idea. ! Their plans called for 200
stockholders or members,, each of
whom subscribed for one share of
stock at 110 and agreed to ad

per month for a period of two
years (but not to exceed ,$1500

up of actual business leaders in
the city was designated as judges
of investments and only those who
were able to pass a most exacting
set of qualifications were allowed
funds. The board of directors
have at least one member on the
board of each, applicant granted
funds. To protect interests of the
members, the service holds all ser
