Calls Disarmament Sit
uation More Than
Promising
PLYMOUTH, Mass., August I.
(By Associated Press.) Hope that
the disarmament called by the Unit
'd States may bring to the world a
new era of peace and freedom, was
expressed by President Harding to
day in his address here at the ter
centenary of the landing of the Pil
grim Fathers.
Characterizing the international
situation as “more than promising,”
President Harding asserted that the
seed of common tolerance and un
derstanding,' planted by the fathers
here, was beginning to bear fruit a
thousand fold in the relations be
tween nations.
“A new hope looms today,” said
the president; “we slowly but very
surely are recovering from the
wastes, sorrows and utter disarrange
ments of cataclymsical war. Peace
is bringing the new assurances, and
penitent realization and insistent con
science will preserve that peace.”
Another Mayflower came to Ply
mouth today, this one the presidential
yacht bringing President Harding
and his official party to join in the
observance of the ter-centcnary of
the landing of the Pilgrims.
The passenges on today’s Mayflow
er lauded to officially welcome in
scenes that offered a striking con
trast with those that faced the Pil
g'.’im Fathers.
One estimate placed the number
of visitors here at 100,000. A parade
and other incidents earlier in the day
served to set the scene for the pub
lic exercises beginning at 4 o’clock,
when the president delivered his on
ly speech of the day.

MRS.EDISON LETS
OUT SECRET!
Distinguished Husband
Is Some Sleeper—
Even Hibernates
BY EDWARD THIERRY
(Copyright 1921.)
IN (’AMP, via Oakland, Md., Aug
ust I.—“Do you believe Thomas A.
Edison sleeps only four hours a
night?”
That question has been asked
more often than any other concern
ing the world’s greatest inventor.
But now I have the straight of it
from none other than Mrs. Edison
herself, who has just explained to
me her husband’s theory and system
of sleep.
Edison does sleep only four hours
a night, and sometimes less than that
—when he’s working.
But when he playes and relaxes,
he catches up in sleep. He sleeps
at night, and sometimes less than that
day—seven hours, ten hours, some
times a great deal more.
“Mr. Edison takes his rest scien
tificially,” said Mrs. Edison. “When
he works he works bard and works,
long hours. When he sleeps, he |
sleeps just as hard.
“This is the time when he sleeps I
—here in camp. Another time is]
when we go to our winter home I
at Fort Myers, on the west coast!
of Florida.
“Down there, he almost hiber
nates, and with sleep he rebuilds
himself against another rigorous!
spell of work. We have hammocks
-all around the house. Mr. Edison,
goes from one hammock to another,
‘sleeping his way around .the
moving on as the sun drivFß him I
out.
“Sometimes at night he may sleep)
only a few hours. But when he is
back close to nature—to the trees,
and woods and creek; he loves —he |
sleeps during the day.
“He goes to sleep in a chair, on j
the ground or in a hammock. He!
has a most peculiar power of drop-!
ping into a heavy slumber instant- j
ly and in a short time rousing for i
a sort of intermission.
“For a while he reads, and then
sleeps—takes a walk, and sleeps—
fishes for a while, and then drops
off—cats, and then naps.”
He even napped in a chair while I
Bishop W. F. Anderson conducted!
Sunday services.
“If I didn’t know how deaf Mr.!
Edison is,” smiled Bishop Anderson,l
“I might charge myself with preach I
ing him to sleep!” y i
Mrs. Edison laughed and said: '
“It is one of Mr. Edison’s chief!
regrets that because of his poor ;
hearing he cannot attend church
services. He used to try, but be.
couldn’t hear a wore! that was said.,
“Nevertheless his every instinct;
is Christian. |
“He is not sensitive about hi|si
deafness, as so many are. Ke thinks .
deafness has its compensations. He i
says he can work better -and be |
sides so many people say things ’
that aren’t worth bearing!”

PUBLIC POOL TO
BE FINANCED BY
BABY BOND ISSUE
Denominations Os $5 1 o
SIOO At 8 Pct. Au
thorized
5 -
The swimming pool on the city
Playground is to be built with money
to be provided by an issue of “baby”
bonds, totalling not more than $3,-
500, in denominations of from $5 to
SIOO, maturing in five years and
bearing interest at 8 per cent, the
proceeds from the sale of bathing
privileges to be applied toward pay
ing off the bonds. This was decided
at the meeting of the Playground as
sociation Saturday afternoon to con
sider ways and means of building the
pool, which movement has met with
general public endorsement since it
has been actively agitated recently
after a period of dormancy.
The resolutions providing for the
bond issue were drawn by W. W.
Dykes, president of the board of edu
cation and local attorney, and the
movement has his backing and that of
the board. It is believed by the
Playground board that the returns
from the pool, once it is in operation,
will not only retires the bonds hut
maintain the Playground as well, sup
plying needed funds which are not
now readily obtained. This estimate
is based upon the eAerienrc of the
pool at Cordele and ipther places of
no greater advantages
The proposed bond issue is to be
opened for subscription as soon as
preparations can be completed.
The Resolution*
Following is a copy of the resolu
tions bv the Playground board, which
gives some details of plans for the
project:
“Whereas on the 29th day of July.
1921, the Board of Public Education
for the City of Americus, in whose
keeping and legal custody the Hill
property now used for a Playground
was vested by the mayor and City
Council of Americus at the time of
the purchase of siyil property, bv
proper action in said board granted
to the Playground association per
mission to construct a swimming pool
on said property;,
‘And whereas, the burden of fi
nancing the project devolving upon
the Playground association, in order
to construct a swimming pool suitable
to the needs of Americus, it is neces
sary to issue some form of obliga
tion on the part of the Playground
association to be able to successfully
complete the project;
“Therefore, be it resovled by the
Board of Directors of said Playground
association that it construct on said
property at some suitable place a
swimming pool, the dimensions of
which shall not be less than 40 x 100
feet, the walls and bottom Os which
shall be made substantial by cement
concrete construction and at least
forty (40) dressing rooms adjacent
to aid pool together with elevated
seats and roofing around the pool
be constructed in connection there
with and also that there be drilled on
said property some suitable nlace con
venient to said pool a well for +'
purpose of supplying water and that
such other essential and necessary
equipment be provided so as to make
the same attractive and valuable to
the Playground;
Bondholders Protected
"‘Be it further resolved that this
asociation issue its obligations in the
form of bonds in denominations of
Five to One Hundred Dollars each,
the total of which shall not exceed
Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars, for the
purpose of paying the total cost of
the construction of said pool and all
the equipment and essential parts
necesary to have therewith as here
inabove started:
“Be it further resolved that there
shall be no personal corporate finan
cial responsibility back of said bonds
to secure the same except that if the
Playground association should fail to
make a success of the project after
it is completed, the bond holders
shall have the right to take possession
of same and conduct it on such finan
cial basis as they see proper for such
time as may he necessary to repay
the bonds;
‘‘Be it further resovled that, all of
said bonds be sold at par and that
thev bear interest from date at 8 per
cent per annum and be writt/n to ma-
Lure 5 years from date of issue, with
privilege of retiring at any time."
Mr. Cargill today elaborated on the
plans for dhe pool in a statement as
follows:
Preliminary Legal Steps
“The resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Playground
association at its meeting late Satur
day afternoon is the preliminary legal
step toward the issuance of bonds for
financing the swimming pool. We
Were fortunate in having the legal
advice and assistantce of Mr. W. W.
Dykes who prepared the resolution
at my request. Mr. Dykes as chair
man of the Board of Education is
deeply interested in the plans of the
Playground directorate for adding to
the facilities of Americus which pro
mote physical education and develop
ment, and as a public spirited citizen
he is preparing to do his utmost to as
sist in the proper working out of
these plans. The contemplated bond
issue should be placed very quickly
and I expect to see it popularity at
tested by a prompt oversubscription
when offered.

ON U. S. REPORT
General Wood To Be Named
Governor of Phillipines
WASHINGTON, August I.—Gen
eral Leonard Wood to be governor
general of the Philippines.
That is the nomination President
Harding will send to the Senate for
confimation, possibly within the next
few weeks.
Wood, who is still in the islands
on a special tour of investigation for
the president, is understood to have
changed his attitude toward the of
ce since his visit.
The Philippine post is the juiciest
of the plums remaining on the pa
tronage tree. It pays SIB,OOO a year,
with an additional $15,000 for ex
penses.
Although the final report of the
Wood investigation has not yet been
made, it is understood in unofficial
advices from Manila, that it will be
adverse to the early granting of
Philippine independence.
Wood’s previous service in the
Philippines, his experience as mili
tary governor of Cuba and later as
govenro of Moro province, Philip
pines, are considered to fit him above
all other for the post.
Wood may not even return to the
United States to present his report,
but may accept appointment as gov
ernor general and remain in the is
lands, assuming his duties immed
iately.
JOINT RECITAL IS
PLEASINGEVENT
Several hundred music lovers of
the city were thrilled and delighted
Sunday aftern.on at the joint recital
of M ss Melva Clark, of Americus,
and Miss Pauline Schaadt, of Allen
town, Pa., at the Rylander theater
at 4 o’clock. Miss Clark sang and
Miss Schaadt performed on the pipe
organ as well as accompanying Miss
Clark on organ and piano.
M ss Clark was in excellent voice
and was heard in a variety of songs,
her first being Haydn's “With Ver
dure Clad,” from the oratorio, “The
Creation.” This tuneful old gem was
followed by Cycil Scott’s lullaby and
Ronald’s prelude, “A Hymn to Life.”
Three typical Tirendelli songs, “Love
and Faith,” “Hymn to Love,” and
“Rapture” concluded her assortment.
She was heartily applauded, and ful
filled the hopes and expectations of
her most ardent admirers, of whom
there are many in her home city.
Miss Schaadt demonstrated her
mastery at the organ in her opening
number by Bach, and the Sixth son
ata by Mendelssohn, which, however,
were not as tuneful as later numbers
and therefore lacked the same
popular appeal. Beethoven’s delight
ful minuet in G was exquisitely dain
ty in her handling, and was followed
by the ever-popular and melodious
Traumerei, Zitterbert’s “Romance”
and Hollins’ Intermezza followed in
this group. Wagner’s majestic Tann
hauser march was listened to atten
tively, and the American Rhapsody,
by Yon, with which she closed, prov
ed a fitting finale for the afternoon’s
program. As the great organ burst
into the “Star Spangled Banner” the
audience arose and as the last notes
died away filed out.
set the one and probably the only,
hazard to be encountered and that is
the bare possibility of not being able
to secure a sufficient flow of water
within depth limits not prohibitory
to cost of boring. This is a very re
mote possibility, in view of the uni
formly sucessful record in boring ar
tesian wells and securing abundant
flow of water in the Americus geolog
ical district at depths varying from
85 to around 400 feet.
Can Buy Water.
“In the barely possible event of
could be supplemented b« purchase
of additional gallonage'from the city
at a cost that would not be prohibitve
to sucess.
“Swimming pools are regarded as
money makers in other places and
our Playground poo] is not only go
ing to produce sufficient revenue to
quickly retire the bonds but it will
solve the problem of financing the
Playground and enable the Play
ground association to add other at
tractive features for the pleasure and
physical benefit of all.
“It should not be overlooked that
the brining in of this deep well of
pure artesian water would be of po
tential value to the citv which by
suitable connections could secure a
wonderful supply for use in event of
some great emergency.
Don’t let’s lose any time getting
started on this pool. This is a com
munity project on which we can all
unite.
“A few days will be allowed for
the preparation of plans and for
working by the business leaders of
Americus a proper basis for division
of work and distribution of the bur
den of financing. These men, our
bankers, our profesisonal men. our
merchants, our public spirited busi
ness men generally are going to
swing this bond issue and swing it
now. It isn’t a big one but it’s
mighty important, important for the
welfare ahd happiness of grown-ups
as well as kiddies. We are all go
ing to help.”
