EDISON SAYS TANGO WILL GO

Turkey Trot, Diaphanous Gown, Smoking by Woman and Other Fade Also Fleeting. New York.—" Faddists and extremists have been common in all ages," said Thomas A, Edison. "The turkey trot, the tango, the diaphanous gown and women smoking will vanish when the novelty wears off. Such extremists represent only a fractional per cent of our people and we need not fear for the others." Mr. Edison believes In eugenic marriages, but deprecates the teaching of sex hygiene in schools to pupils not old enough to do their own thinking.
