JPh-Thomas Alva Edison, fighting complication of diseases, showed more activity and more Interest in outside affairs today than' any time since Saturday when his son, Charles, revealed the Inventor was "critically ill." Mr. Edison had a good night and slept seven hours, one more than the previous night His physician. Dr. Hubert S. Howe, said the 84-year-old Inventor was in excellent spirits.

Later Mr. Edison sat at his living room desk reading newspapers. Dr. Howe said he would issue bulletins on the inventor's condition four times daily. The noon bulletin today said: "There has been no marked change in Mr.

Edison's condition this morning. He asked to see the newspapers for the first time in several days and is now in tne living room at his desk. "Dr. Hubert S. Howe." The first bulletin of the day said Mr.

Edison "seems to be steadily improving. Messenger boys made regular marches up the half mile hill on the crest of which the inventor's home is situated, carrying messages from many points. One was from Sir Thomas Llpton, wish ing the Inventor a speedy recovery Among those calling by telephone were Harvey Firestone, Br, and Henry Ford, two of Mr. Edison's closest friends. Dr.

Howe has revealed that his patient is suffering from diabetes, Bright's disease, ulcers of the stomach and uremic poisoning. Dr. Howe and Charles Edison have ex pressed fear lest Mr. Edison should re fuse to follow the diet prescribed for him. Dr.

Howe said it was vital that he have the proper amount of insulin and if fluid, as too much or too little of either would be harmful. Mr. Edison, long on a milk diet, six weeks ago cut his routine of two glasses every two hours to one every two hours. Dr. Howe said this undernourishment helped to bring about his present condi tion.

Dr. Howe declared careful nursing would be necessary from now on as he dldnt think Mr. Edison would "ever be out of danger." Dr. Frederick Allen, after a visit this afternoon, likened, the inventor's condition to that of a ship. 4 "As long as a ship," he said, "keeps on its course all is well.

But if it happens to strike a submerged rock, then complications develop." At 6 p.m. (E. S. the -following bulletin was issued: "Mr. Edison's condition continues about the same.

He slept about one hour this afternoon. His spirits are cheerful and he is looking forward to an early return of his strength." Actor Asks Clothes To 'Tide Him Over' When Edward Compton was four years old his parents died, leaving him only a pittance. When he was five he was earning his own living as the child actor of a dramatic company. He grew tip as an actor and achieved moderate success. He had his own way to make in the world, and did so.

He put himself through the elementary and high school grades and through two years of college, all the while supporting himself by his dramatic ability. Stock companies were on the wane when Mr. Compton left college and he went to Hollywood. He secured several minor roles but most of his work was dene as a double for the stars when they were required to do tight-rope walking, high diving, and other acrobatic acts. He even doubled for Lon Chaney on one occasion, Mr.

Compton said. Doubles who do dangerous work are well paid, Mr. Compton said. But a young man seldom saves much money. On one occasion Mr.

Compton was doubling for Buddy Rogers In "Half Way to Heaven." The role called for a Dangerous blindfold leap high in the sir. Compton's foot slipped and he plunged nearly 100 feet to the ground. For about a year the man lay in the hospital. Both legs had been broken and his neck dislocated. Finally he recuperated sufficiently to leave the hospital, but the long period of illness had taken all his funds and he was no longer able to do the dangerous work of a double.

Mr. Compton is in Montgomery seeking work. He asks that some clothing store, as an advertising scheme, furnish him with clothing to reappear on nearby stages and recoupehis fortune enough to tide him over to Jan. 1, 1932, when, he says, he has a contract with Paramount.

Several members of the congregation brought their own chairs.

Methodist used this house for five years, jointly with Baptists and Presbyterians. The former denomination gained possession of the church after the other had made plans for their own houses. Shortly after completion of the city' first theater, the Methodist attempted to purchase the building for church pur. poses. This aroused the ire of one of the stockholders to such an extent that he threatened to defeat the Methodists' plan to buy the lot upon which the church (Union) was located, to be of fered at auction by a real estate com pany.

Some of the Methodist attended the auction but were outbid by Gen. John Scott. To their surprise, Gen. Scott made them a gift of the lot. The union church building proved too small, so members procured a subscription of $800 despite financial handicaps, and also borrowed $1,000 from J.

OP) German official circles today expressed great satisfaction at newt that France and the United States have granted Great Britain a rediscount credit of $250,000,000. German commentators saw in this ac tion renewed evidence that Franco- German understanding Is not as impossible as pessimists picture it to be.

The argument advanced here is that France knew very well England would use this credit to freeze her short term credits in Germany. In other words France's agreement to participate in the English discount credit is taken as an indication of her willingness to help stabilize conditions In Germany at the same time as she is helping the Bank of England out of a tight place. In some high places here it is insisted that the sudden withdrawal of $150,000,000 in gold from the Bank of England during the last two weeks and the transfer of this immense sum to France was not, as alleged. Machiavellian work on the part of France but was caused by the panicky feeling of Spanish and South American capitalists. Paris then seemed to be the only safe place in the world even though little or no Interest could be Paid on deposits.

France, far from causing withdrawals from according to these German officials, has coma to the help of England and through her indirectly to the help of Germany, for France real' lzed that hoarding too much gold in one place might so restrict the circulation of currency that only a new inflation couia point the way out. France, it is argued here, has had Its taste of inflation and wants no see ond one not even in contiguous terrl tory and hence she now is willing to abandon her isolation, overlook her chagrin at the fact that England helped the Austrian credltanstalt, and help pu credit conditions of the world in order. That J. P. Morgan's hand was a factor in fixing things up between England and France is taken for granted here.

LINDBERGHS START ON ANOTHER LEG OF ORIENT FLIGHT (Continued From Page 1) and northeastward over the Bering Sea. This route is frequently lashed by gales and hidden by fogs. Post and Gatty flew blindly nearly all the way on this leg. FAIRBANKS, ALASKA, Aug. 3.

(JP) Reg. L. Robblns and Harold S. Jones, Fort Worth, Texas, filers, who were forced down here on their second attempt at a non-stop refueling flight from Seattle to Tokyo, will not try the hop again, they said today. After sleeping soundly for five hours and a half, but still showing the effects of their 27 hours in the air, the Texans were cheered to learn their refueling plane had landed at Ruby, Alaska, after they lost it in the fog early today.

Dropping their white monoplaije Fort Worth through a hole In the clouds which covered a large part of the Yukon River Valley, Robblns and Jones landed here at 7:35 a.m. (11:35 ajn, Montgom ery time) after almost 27 hours in the air since their takeoff from Seattle early yesterday. James M. Mattern and Nick Greener, pilots of their refueling plane' set down at Ruby, a settlement on the Yukon about halfway between Fairbanks and Nome to take on additional gasoline aft' er battling fogs and clouds, which snrouaea mountain passes and valleys leading into TJnalakleet, on Norton Bound. After they landed, the weather closed down completely and the fliers were un able to get off again.

Meanwhile the Fort Worth cruised around through cloud and fog banks over the Lower Yukon and, concluding the refueler had become lost, returned to Fairbanks and gave up their second non-stop Seattle- Tokyo attempt. Mattern and Greener landed at Ruby at 2:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m., Montgomery time). One refueling contact had been made between Fairbanks and Kaltag, which is about 75 miles from Unalakleet, and 100 gallons of gasoline were trans ferred. The weather conditions which forced abandonment of the second attempt were local and not indicated by weather forecasts.

Had the filers been able to cross the mountain range between Kaltag and Norton Sound, they would have had clear weather much of the way to Tokyo.
