REAL BOON TO ALL HUMANITY
Mrs. Hawgood Cannot Understand
Why One Should Not Listen to
Talk of other People.

II met a man today" said Harri-

great invention-an invention that

What is it?" asked Mrs. Hawgood.
"A continuance to put in ones ears
so that one may ride In an elevated,
trolley car or In any other kind
of public conveyance and not have
to listen to the conversation of peo-
pie who sit next to one. 1t Is so
constructed-or will be when he gets
1t perfected-that 1t cannot possibly
be seen, yet 1t will make 1t possible
for the wearer to get along without
hearing a word that is spoken even
by people who sit beside him or in
seats directly back or in front OF
him"

to hear the conversation of other

pouring the liquid of the
