EDISOX— Think fo r a minute of what one man, still active in his 84th year, has does to change the world in a single lifetime. He made tha telephone a practice) instrument He invented the ln cadescent light. He invented the phonograph. He invented the motion picture. Imagine a. world •without those inventions. It is Impossible, except to those whose memories, rike my own, go back to the time when Edison was known only as the inventor of the multiplex telegraph. Now he has found a way to get rubber out of goldenrod, not as a commercial product but as a war reserve resource". And he is still working. "A man can't die so long as he keeps busy," he told me once. MUSIC Good music Is increasing in popularity, but there - a're more musicians out of work than ever before. We are getting our mu sic more and more by mechani cal methods of reproduction. First the phonograph, then the radio, now the sound motion pictures, have brought the very |)est music, played and sung by the highest grade of musical tal ent, within reach of everybody. The largest piano company in America went into bankruptcy recently. Pianos are still sold, and always will be. There will always be youngsters with talent coming along to produce the good music of tomorrow. And there are more "freak" instruments being sold than ever—saxop hones, ukeleles and the like. There are probably more first class singers of American birth and training, appearing in public now than ever before. But the second-rale and hopelessly third rate musicians no longer com mand audiences. The American people have developed a higher taste in music. ...CHUBTHIW "I could empty every country church and half the city churches on Sunday mornings by broad casting better sermons and serv ices than all but a few grea' churchecs offer," the head of one of the great broadcasting chains said to me the other day The time Is coming when the smaller churches will Install ra dio sets and get their music and their sermons out of the air. They will reed no local pastor, but instead will become centers for community work ln the name of God. making it their charge to protect the moral and physi cal health of their communities to inspire the amusements and elevate the educational standards of their young folks. RUBBFTR Rubber gets its name because first use was to rub out pencil marks. The Spanish conquista dores found Mexican and Brazil lan children playing with balls of this peculiar gum, but it was three hundred years before it be came a commercial product. Mackintosh, the Scotchman, used it first to waterproof cloth: Soodyear. the American, found how to take the stickiness out while rtaining the elasticity. A very small amount of com mercial rubber is grown in the United States, in California and Arizona, where It is produced from the guayule shrub. Most of it comes the East Endies and South America. Harvey Firestone is planting a million acres to rubber trees in Liberia. Africa. Unskilled cheap labor is necessary to keep the price oY rubber down. A difference of 50 cents a pound in the price of crude rubber may mean a dif ference of HO In the price of au tomobile tires. I The next step will be the dis covery of a method of reclaiming old rubber and using it again. V IAWS It ought to be apparent by thlß time that the effort to make people good by passing laws is a failure. The other day a judge in New York senteneeced a young woman to prison for life. He had no notion) it was her fourth conviction for larceny and under the Baumeo la wa fourth offender must be locked up until he or she dies. That isn't going to do this girl or society any good. The time when something could have been done about her case was when she was a child. She grew up without education, without moral sense, without any feeiin got responsibility. An apparatus for attachment to automobile exhausts to neu tralize the deadly gas. carbon monoxide, has been Invented by scientists at Johns Hopkins Uni ▼•wlty.
