TO RID ROADS OF OLD
AUTOS FOUND UNSAFE
New' York.—'The "collegiate fliv
ver” and other wheezing, palsied
automobiles of venerable vintage
are doomed to the scrap heap.
The National Automobile cham
ber of commerce announced that
the industry would expend $15,000.
000 this year in removing unsafe
cars from the highways. The plan,
endorsed by the chamber's board of
directors, involves the scrapping of
350,000 machines in addition to the
normal scrapping by the motor
companies, and proposes that the
manufacturers provide a fund for
removing permanently those auto
mobiles that menace the safety of
other highway users.
"This expenditure of $15,000,000
will not clear away every unfit old
car, Alvan McCauley, president of
the chamber said, "but it is so big
a move that the experiment will
demonstrate fully whether it is
worth while to carry the program
further.”
Edison, At Age 83
Backs The Dry Law
Thinks li Will Sneered: Has Taith
In Conference.
Tliomas Alva Edison. grnial wiz
ard of the age, celebrated his eigh
ty-third birth anniversary Tuesday
and philosophized on prohibition,
politics, education and lift in gener
al he said:
‘The London naval conference
will result in a reduction of arma
ment for the general good of hu
manity; prohibition will ultimately
be enforced and the proposed modi
fication of the Volstead law will
not help the cause of temperance:
a young man, after being graduat
ed from high school should enter
business and not college; the five
day week is ‘O. K.'; aviation needs
more experimental work before its
j commercialization; and the ma
chine age- is increasing, not hamp
ering. man’s creative genius.-’
These were some of the answers
to the twenty-four questions pro
pounded to him by a corps of news
paper correspondents in his annual
interview with the press.
Returning from a short fishing
trip to his flower-laden estate on
the banks of the Caloosahatchie
river, the inventor of the electric
lights, the phonograph, the motion
picture camera and numerous other
devices smiled beningly upon the
waiting reporters as he came in and
took a seat at his desk.
The questions had been typewrit
ten, his deafness prevented verbal
[answers; and so the ageing genius
' sharpened his pencil and set to
! work.
Despite the severe attuek of pneu
monia he suffered several months
ago. Mr. Edison seemed in excellent
health. When asked “how old do
you feel?" he said.
‘‘Usually about, fifty, but some
microhes are experimenting with
my internal machinery which mak
es me feel about eighty-five vears
old."
Mr. Edison was specific on the
prohibition question. He said it
would some day lie accomplished
in the United States and that the
proposed modification of the law
which would permit the manufac
ture of light vines and beer would
| not benefit the cause of the issue.

A “DIFFERENT’
IMCTl'UE!
This space could be clut
tered with well-Worn ad
jectives but why hang
'em on. You’ll furnish
the praise when you see
and hear it. We'll just
say it’s a swell talkie and
let it go at that. If you’re
“air - minded” you'll like
it. But even if you don't
know a strut from a tail
spin you’ll like the good,
clean romance, the tre.
mendous climax and the
magnitude of the pro
duction. And it’s “differ
ent” because nothing has
ever been done like it be
fore, and that’s no fib.
Take a tip: Don’t miss
