What is the relief situation? In the fol- lowing Associated Press dispatch the Tribune gives the answers of Washington officials to some of the questions newspaper readers are asking about relief.) Washington, Aug. 27.—(?)—Have Say rolls been reduced this sum- mer There are nearly 475,000 fewer per- sons on the rolls now than in May. The Mid-August roll call of 1,527,450 workers compared with 2,376,000 a year previous. Why was this reduction made? To bring federal relief rolls within the smaller allowance provided by Saeed for the year beginning last july. How was it accomplished? Part of the reduction was affected by not replacing persons who left voluntarily to take jobs in industry. ‘Were any laid off? Yes, “for cause.” If they don’t work the WPA fires them. Ahe the men who are still working on WPA projects becoming permanent public charges? WPA is a constantly moving group and only 10 per cent have been on the xolls for two years or more. ‘What of the ten per cent? Gome of them are older men who find great difficulty in getting back into private employment because in- dustry is seeking younger workers, Suppose a man is laid off WPA and cannot find other work? Cities and counties supply “direct relief” in the form of food and cloth- ing, Or money, How many persons, then, are re- ceiving public’ assistance? Various agencies 6f nation, state, city and county paid out more than $165,000,000 in June to 5,172,901 clients. Many clients, however, appear on the rolls of more than one agency.

The great financier was active and interested in business and public affairs up to his last illness. West Orange, N. J., Aug. 27—(?) —Thomas A. Edison, five years after his death, outdid the spirits two weeks ago and made a decis- ion which kept one of his largest manufacturing plants from shut- ting down. The plant was the battery divis- fon of Thomas A. Edison, Inc. Nickel had been discovered in $40,- 000 worth of Swedish iron, used to make the negative “active materials” for alkaline batteries. ‘This is an unusually pure form of iron and no more was available at the time in this country. _ A staff conference was called to consider whether the nickel im- purities ruined the iron for bat- tery manufacture, “How would you like to have Thomas A. Edison make the de- cision?” asked one of the con- ferees, George BE Stringfellow, vice-president and general man- ager of the battery division. ‘The staff looked inquiring. “I'm not sure,” Stringféllow added, “but I think it can be done.” Then he told them this story. In 1926, while Edison was the ac- tive consultant for the battery company, Stringfellow proposed: “Mr, Edison, would you be will- Lincoln Have Beard? Borglum Won’t Tell Rapid City, 8.

In your mind there is in- formation about it that no one else has. Will you let the staff give you written questions about the battery, every Saturday after- noon before you go home? You could bring the answers in writ- ing to work on Monday morn- g.” : Edison agreed. Eighty-seven questions were asked and answered in two years. They were bits of information not available as a Tule in scientific records. They were filed away in a black, loose-leaf book. The book remain- ed in the files after Edison’s death in October, 1931. No one knew whether it would contain the nickel question; but it did. “If there is nickel in fron,” Stringfellow had written, “doesn’t it adversely affect the life of the cell?” “No harm,” Edison wrote. The conference accepted this decision. It turned out to be the {7 MINISTERS FROM BISMARCK DISTRICT WILL CONVENE HERE Evangelical Church Leaders to Hear Minneapolis Clergy- man at Convention Seventeen ministers of the Bis- marck district of the Evangelical church will hold a convention here beginning Tuesday and continuing through Sunday, Sept. 5. £ General theme of the convention will be “Farther With Christ,” the national call of the Evangelical church, Rev.

Walter Maddock who Friday returned from a 2,200-mile trip through the Treasure state. Everywhere in Montana the trav- eler encounters signs of the water conservation program, he said, and the justification for activity is found in the fact that only those areas where irrigation is being practiced ere enjoying prosperity. A pattial exception to this rule, he said, is found in the “Shelby triangle” whére dry-land farmers are getting some crop but not enough to really meet their needs, Based on the experience of Oscar Horsford, living near Wolf Point, Mad- dock suggested that North Dakota farmers might increase their AAA payments by water conservation works, 3 Horsford, he said, has a $9,000 house and eight quarters of land but this year he got only 150 bushels of wheat and two loads of hay from all of his Cres, i Under the AAA rules he was elig- ible for a $450 conservation payment but could figure out work for only $300 of that total. However, last year he had begun work on a dam with a view to providing stockwater and urigation. When the county AAA committee saw the half-completed structure they advised him to finish it, asserting he thereby would become eligible for an additional payment of $150. Everywhere in Montana, said, farmers are pinning of security on irrigation and many intend to abandon dry Jand farming as soon as they can locate on land which can be watered.
