leaped a four-foot Irrigation ditch,
winding up in a farmyard from which
he found an easy path back to the
road again. All Santa Ana went out
the next day to see the tracks made
by his Maxwell car.

SHOW OPENS ONE
WEEK FROM TODAY
Motor Car Exhibit Will Sur-'
pass Any Previous Efforts
of Local Dealers
■ "■
"Next Saturday night:" Yes. that's i
the night the automobile show opens j
in Harrisburg. You didn't expect It i
was so near? There are a lot of j
others that feel the same way, but tt'9 j
a fact nevertheless. As It is one I
month earlier than usual, some of the i
motorcar dealers themselves find it
hard to believe the annual event |
is to be here so soon. But they are j
working like a bunch of good fellpws ]
to make this the greatest automobile
show that llarrisburg has ever had.
New oars are coming in daily for ex- j
hibition purposes and telegrams are i
flying in every direction to hurry up j
delayed shipments, in other words,
the exhibitors and the show manage- :
ment are now coming down the home I
stretch in order to get their exhibit
complete before it passes before the
public's critical eye.
No expense will be spared to make
this show the best from every stand
point. The decorations will be un
usual and an entertaining musical
program will be a feature of the aft
ernoon and evening hours. The cen- •
tral location will make it convenient
for all to "drop in" and fact
alone should make the attendance
record greater than at any p/eceding
show. Prosperous times makes it an
ideal year for automobiles and a num
ber of new makes not heretofore
shown in llarrisburg will be an incen
tive for many others to come. And
even those who have no intention of ,
buying a motorcar at present will ;
come for the educational advantages
where they can get on the "inside" of
what's going on, where the power.
comes from that makes the wheels
turn, even though they have seen
nothing but the button that is pushed
or the lever that is pulled. Good cars
for less than SOOO will be shown and
other luxurious ones as high as $5,000.
Edison on Sixty-Ninth
Birthday Lays Down
Rules For long Life
Special to the Telegraph
New York, Feb. 13. Thomas A.
| Edison. 69 years old yesterday, was
four minutes late in punching: his num
' ber on the time clock nt his West
' Orange factory, and he was madder
about it than the foreman, who Is sup
j posed to "dock" tardy employes. The
foreman only laughed and said it would
.■ be all right this time, but Mr. Edison
icut him off sharply, saying:
! "Xo. it will not be all right this time.
I I am on the payroll hero like any one
I else and I want you to 'dock' me the
' day's pay for being late. It will teach
me a lesson. I never was late before
and wouldn't be this time if it liad
not been for that dinner the illuminat
ing engineers gave to me in New Tork.
I It was 2 o'clock before I reached home
and they wouldn't call me because It Is
; my birthday."
! Late in the afternoon, however, he
consented to see a reporter whom he
had known for many years.
"Are you going to take the Secre
taryship of War? he was asked.
"That Job is too slow for me," he said.
I Anyway. I'm interested in the navy
| more than in the army. Say, young man,
I to make this regular birthday interview
| short I'll tell you in short sentences
! just what you want to quote me on.
Here goes:
"To live long and happily cut down
your food and cut out your booze.
"Cigarets ought to come under the
Sullivan law—even their possession
should mean the penitentiary
| "Beer with only 2 per cent, alcohol
! would be all right, and whisky should
; be classed with narcotics.
| "Women ought to have the vote—we
■ can't stop them if we would.
"The allies will win.
"This countrj- will not go to war at
; once, but must be prepared if it would
avoid war in the future.
"Congress should appropriate funds
| immediately for the great naval experi
| mental station proposed by the Advisory
j Board.
"That's all I have to sa.v, except I
have turned over a new leaf and will
start life anew on my G9th birthday,
I promising never again to let pleasure
j Interfere with my work."

!By Associated Press
Washington. Feb. 12. —Aerial mail

| routes, seven of them in Alaska. Oc
; tober 1 is named as the date for their
j starting.
The routes will be established, the
department announced as much to
stimulate development of aviation be
cause of its relation to military pre
paredness as to improve the mail serv
ice. The department believes that ef
forts already begun to finance an
aerial patrol of the Atlantic coast in
dicate ready capital will bo found for
the mail service undertakings. If the
service is successful, it is announced,
{a gradual expansion will follow to
j other routes where transportation is
