Pays Tribute to
Thomas Edison
World's Foremost Elect riran Gives
Interesting Appreciation of the
Greatest Inventor of the Age.
“It is true that Edison never went
to any college,” said Dr. Charles
Proteus Steinmetz, wizard of elec
tricity, “hut he knows more about (he
subjects taught in college than most
college men.”
This appreciation of Thomas A.
Edison by Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz
was written in honor of the thirty-
fifth anniversary of £he incamlesceht
electri* lamp which will be celebrated
through the United States on the
twenty-first day of October.
“The first time I met Mr. Edison
was in 189!?, at the International Elec
tric Congress in Chicago,” continues
Mr. Steinmetz, Mr. Rudolph Eick-
emeyer introduced me to him, and Mr.
Edison jokingly pointing to me, said,
“Pure theory;” pointing at Eickemey

In the fashion department Grace
Margaret Gould, the well-known fash
ion editor, writes an article showing
the effect of the war on fashions. She
enumerates the thir/gs that women
will have to do without on account of
the war and also shows the opportuni
ties now opened to American manu
factures and designers.

In a recent issue of The Journal of
the American Medical Association at
tention wus culled to the action on the
part of an advertising manager for
a cement company in demanding that
advertisements for his product should
not be lined up with advertisements
of fraudulent wares. He holds, in
common with most up-to-date adver
tising men, that every dishonest ad
vertisement tends to undermine the
confidence of the public and thus hurt
every decent advertiser. A good il
lustration of the principle involvod in
this action appeared in a recent issue
of a Chicago afternoon paper. On one
page of this paper there wjfc; a fairly
large advertisement of Marshall Felij
& Company. The advertising copy
was in good taste; the Wording was
conservative, and, the general effoct
of the advertisement was convincing.
The products advertised wore wo
men’s garments. On the same page
of the paper, and in close proximity
to the department store’s “copy,” was
an advertisement of Lydia Pinkham’s
fraudulent nostrum (alcohol, 18 per
cent ) urging womb who have "that
weak, languid, always tired feeling,”
to purchase this "great blessing.” On
the other side of the store’s advertise
ment “Beeehanl’s Tills” blared forth
in heavy blackfaccd typo their lying
message to the world. Just below
was a paragraph-entitled “Valuable
Discovery in Complexion Beautifier,”
This was in news style and had noth
ing to indicate that it was an adver
tisement. It told women of the al
leged virtues for the complexion of
“mercollzed wax,” n particularly
vicious caustic poison. It is interest
ing to speculate on the damage, from
an advertiser’s point of view, done to
the Marshall Field & Compnny ad
vertisement by lining it up in close
proximity to three evident frauds. It
is still more interesting to think what
would happen if the decent advertis
ers in the newspaper referred to won
to send to their advertising agencies
the same message that was sent by
the cement company's advertising
manager:
“Will you pionso say to all newspa
per;; desiring to carry our advertising
that wo decidedly object to being
placed in close company with noisome
patent-medicine ads. and other fakes
or near-fakes ?

5 not know any-

There is nothing more untrue than
this, and Edison probably never made
an experiment or tried something
where he did not have n good thooret-l tout
ical reason which would justify the
trial even from a strictly scientific
viewpoint.
“He is essentially a practical man
in the sense that whatever he under
takes, he wishes to know whethe

you valuable hints solving your dif

once during the various times I had
the pleasure to meet him, and that
even in the highlv theoretical aspects
of the subject. Thus, for instance,
most electrical engineers now con
sider the subject of transients one

such phenomena, and understood and
explained them. From my experience,

knowledge.” _ ,
