Thomas, Jr, said the Edison family was like any large family. They loved each other and the re- lations were always congenial with Edison’s second wife.

F. Jessen, Man- aging Editor of the Seward Gate- way, who with his 17-year-old daughter, Lois, arrived here Sun- day after spending 60 days visiting Pacific Coast points. Most of their time was spent in San Francisco. “Of course there is a depression. Business men I met assured me there was, and it must be so. _But I wouldn't have thought so from the visible evidence at hand,” Mr. Jessen declared. “Shopping districts in Seattle and San Francisco were unusually crowded wth people who were buy- ing in sizable quantities. The mov- ing picture theatres and other places of amusement were crowded to capacity. Hotels are doing a good business. Every other index of business was good.” The one indication of unfavor- able business conditions was seen by Mr. Jessen in the unusually low prices of almost every commodity. ‘““There have been very marked re- ductions in nearly all staples as well as luxuries, and people are evidently taking advantage of this fact,” he said. Mr. Jessen, himself, enjoyed his vacation immensely, but his own pleasure was weak compared to that of Miss Jessen, who is a jun- ior in Seward High School and who, according to her father, kept him on the go most of the time. “I'd have been back home two or three weeks ago but for her,” he declared. “I was through and ready to go home long ago, but she wouldn't leave. So I had to stick around until she was in the mood,” he said. And that's a fine alibi for him to take home to Seward. Radiobeacon signals to guide mar- iners were first applied in a practical way off the entrance to New York harbor in 1921. | >oo—— l [ | CONFESSES T0 SLAYING THREE Kills Two, Robbery as Mo- tive, then Shoots Investigator CLARKSVILLE, Texas, Nov. 2.— Charley Draper, aged 29, has con- fessed,’ officers said, to the slaying of three men near Ultimathule, Oklahoma.
