Revolts Numerous And Change .Powers Sporadic revolts, .following upon one another with surpris ing speed occurred in Bolivia, Ar gentina, Brazil, Peru and Guate mala. Administrations nave changed by force In those coun tries, and the state department promptly recognized " all of the new governments except that in Guatemala, where a study of the political status of the new regime Is being made. Abortive revolts took place In Spain and Chile and there were rumblings of possible upheavals In Ecuador, Cuba and Venezuela. While far removed from the United States, the discontent and bloodshed In India was watehed closely by American diplomats In view of Its possible effect upon the British empire. Important In the changes .In China, where extensive Ameri can Interests must be guarded and many American 1 1 r e s protected, was the gain by the nationalist government of Nanking of supremacy over the northern ' coalition which for a time threatened the most stable government China has had for many years. This success of the Nanking administration was countered, however, ftv a bandit menace, involving the capture of American missionaries, and thefts and destruction of prop erty. Linked with the economic de pression throughout the world were the flood of rumors and counter-rumors Involving the question of war debts and repar ations with hints of a possible more lenient policy by the United States. Emphatic denials of any change la policy followed . these rumors on each occasion. . Oregon Briefs. .

In Field Thomas .Boomerang Questionnaire Poured on Electrical Wizard but he Answers Queries; Says Most men too Lazy 'to Think NEW YORK, Dec. 23. (AP) Thomaa A. Edison said today the outstanding inventions of the future will be in the field of health and that inventors will be. biologists and chemists. . ' '-'V Edison replied to the questionnaire from the Review, of Reviews. : Edisoii himself . is famous for his -questionnaires. "Sickness is pretty hard on the workman now, said the 84-year-old wizard of Menlo Park. "It's hard for them to get a'good doctor, and proper care is expensive There is too much sickness. Something will have to be done about! It, and that Is where biology and cnemisiry come in. Here are some of the other questions and answers: Q. Do yon think your work would be easier if you were be ginning now with business ready' to give money and facili ties for research? A. Yes.' I was 45 years hust ling for payrolls. Q. Do Inventions come from necessity- "the mother of inten tion" or from scientific curios ity? A. Most of the Inventors work to earn money to get a modest living for their families. All they want Is enough money to experiment with. Q. Will science tell us to eat less, as it has told us to drink less? , A. Eighty per cent of our deaths are due to over-eating. After the age of 21 a large va riety and quantity of food is un necessary. All those things crowd the stomach and cause poisons. It takes courage to learn restraint, but all that eat ing Is necessary. I find that my weight keeps up on a glass of milk alone, every two hours. Q. Is there any Inherent dif ficulty In making television as common as the telephone. A. Yes, cost and complexity. Q. Do you think the auto-gyro Is the coming thing. In aviation the best principle so far de veloped? A. Yes, and It came from Spain. They say Spain Is dead. But that man (the in ventor) has the egg of Colum bus. . On the wall of Edison's office In West Orange, N. J., where the questionnaire was presented. hangs a quotation from Sir Joshua Reynolds: "There Is no expedient to which man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking," pointing to it, Edison said to his Interviewers "That is what's the matter with us". E III OPPOSING LABOR BOISE, Idaho. Dec. 23. (AP) Gov. H. C. Balbrldge de clared today In expanding on a recent interview on the wage question, that labor had misun derstood and misinterpreted the meaning of his advice that wages must be lower. "I am not opposing labor," he said. "I believe that labor Is en titled to everything It can get. But I do contend that labor can not continue to get the post war scale in present conditions." While America was able through the tariff to protect Its own industry, he sata, wages could be maintained at almost any leveL Since the war, how ever, he pointed out the nation has produced - huge exportable surpluses which come In compe tition with similar products pro duced in other countries with cheaper labor. Because of this, he said, the country Is unable to export its surpluses. A wage reduction, he said. does ndt necessarily mean a low er standard of Uring, for it all values are correspondingly re duced lower wages will buy Just as much as the higher wage. . Hoover Pardons Former Governor McCray, Indiana WASHINGTON, Dec 23.

White Christmas Here but East Gets Plenty of Snow Heavy, marrow chilling fogs which held Salem in their grips the fore part of the week, had changed yesterday into a steady Oregon rain which served to raise the temperature. The outlook for Christmas was not cold but pelth er was It clear. Salem shoppers, scurrying about today, on last-minute shop ping bent, will find somewhat typ ical weather at this season of the year. Forecasts from the weather bureau aX Portland last night, ef fective today and Christmas were: Rains In western Oregon and lo cal snows in eastern part of state. By the Associated Press It looked last night as though almost everywhere In the east, outside of New York City, there would be plenty of snow for the reindeer and sleigh tonight. It snowed In -New York City, too, early yesterday but what chance has a snowflake got falling on roofs and pavements and side walks that all have steam boilers underneath them? Up in New England the pro- Santa weather man apparently took his stuff a little too serious ly. From Boston came reports of slippery New England highways, roads littered with branches brok en from the trees by the weight of the snow, delayed railroad traf fic and Interrupted airplane schedules. A depth of from 4 to, fl Inches was reported generally in New England. Traffic was badly disorganised in Springfield, Mass. Southward, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, however, there was apparently Just enough snow to make It nice for Christmas. High ways were open and whatever the delays In railroad traffic were, they were not particularly seri ous. Snowless New York could have sympathized last night with at least one other eastern municipal ity. But down in Christmas, Fla., 20 miles east of Orland, they think It's fun to celebrate Christ mas in a bathing suit. Journal on Law Of Radio Coming Out in September CHICAGO.
