RUBBER LATEST
EDISON MANIA,
WIFE REVEALS
Wizard Spends Entire Time
Studying Synthetic
Product.
Bv Timr* Special
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Production
of synthetic rubber has replaced all
other thoughts in the mind of
Thomas A. Edison, his wife discloses
In an interview appearing in the
American Magazine.
“Everything has turned to rubber
in Mrs. Edison smiling
ly toltr the interviewer. “We talK
rubber, think rubber, dream rubber,”
she says. "Mr. Edison refuses to let
us do anything else. Goldenrod has
ceased to be simply our national
flower. It Is now a potential rubber
plant.”
Mrs. Ediaon, under the title,
“What It Means to Be Married to a
Genius,” tells of the Wizard's other
idiosyncracies.
He loves Lyonaise potatoes, but
can not eat them.
He hates medicine.
He loves “The Evening Star.” from
Wagner’s Tannliauser, and “I'll Take
You Home Again, Kathleen.” He
loves melody in music above all.
Writes No Letters
He writes practically no letters.
Firestone writes to him, but he
doesn't write to Firestone. Henry
Ford Is a ‘fine chap’ to him.
He never remembers holidays or
anniversaries, not even Christmas,
his own birthday, or his wedding
anniversary.
He regrets the talkies and would
like to see Mary Pickford or Clara
Bow in an old, silent film. (Being
deaf, he loves the silent films.)
He doesn't like bridge, golf or
dancing.
Likes Feel of Silk
He will not wear black.
He likes the feel of silk next to
his skin. Mrs. Edison makes him
a box of handkerchiefs yearly from
the softest India silk he can obtain.
They are a yard square.
He will not wear pajamas. His
nightshirts are of silk, too.
Happiness, gayety and cheerful
ness are the things that he craves
in life.
He loves such books as “Les Mi
st rabies” and “Toilers of the Sea.”
He is sentimental and romantic, but
docs not read a book for a purely
love theme. He reads constantly.
Longfellow’s “Evangeline” and Ten
nyson’s “Enoch Ardon” are near the
top of his favorite list of books. He
will lay aside his treatises to refresh
his mind with a detective story.
His work is his play. Six and a
half hours is his average sleeping
time.
Doesn’t Like Golf
He thinks golf was invented for
the man who eats too much.
He smokes two-for-25 cents
cigars.
He uses an old-fashioned, long
blade razor.
He believes Victor Hugo is one of
the greatest, outstanding minds of
all time.
He goes to his office at 9 a. m.
He often hangs up the telephone
when his wife offers him sand
wiches at midnight. Three or four
days pass without taking food.
He deems his arm chair in his
home sacred. Nobody has ever sat
in it
He allows no man to disturb his
copy of the morning paper. Trouble
follows such a desecration.

Veteran Coffin Ally Is
Made Ward Chairman
Joseph C. Buchanan Gets
G. 0. P. Post; Two New
Deputies Named.
Replacement of weak links in the
Coffin political chain as preparation
for the county primary election this
spring was seen today in the dis
closure that Joseph C. Buchanan,
long-time Coffin ally has been ap
pointed Tenth ward G. O. P. chair
man.
Buchanan will replace Earl Gar
rett, former market master and
late Coffin dissenter. County Repub
lican Chairman Martin Hugg said
today.
Meanwhile Buchanan will con
tinue as deputy sheriff under Sheriff
George L. Winkler.
Further shifting in party ranks
toward the same end is forecast by
the anti-Cofflnites, after Winkler
added the names of two new depu
ties to his office pay roll. They are
William O'Nan, recently resigned
foreman of custodians in the city
schools, and Harley G. Hook, Fourth
ward political worker. It is expected
the latter two will be inserted into
the chairmanship of doubtful wards.
O’Nan, as an Eighth ward worker,
long has been a Coffin henchman.
