Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS. June So 1911.
For years past the newspapers of Paris
rejecting undoubtedly the weight Of pub
lie opinion. have never ceased attacking
the project of the Seine and the Paris
municipality in all its branches and de-
partments. whose names are legion. for
the disgraceful condition of the streets of
the capital of art. science and beauty
Paris. which sets the fashion to the
rest OF the world in taste in all that goes
to make life pleasant and beautiful. is a
standing example in her public thorough
fares OF everything that is offensive to
eye, nose and ear.
F1ysheets a Nuisance.
The first and most crying nuisance is
the everlasting distribution Of fysheets,
which begins at early morn and lasts till
evening. Not one in hundred Of the
passers-by ever keep the rags of paper
they snatch from the distributors, but
after casting an eye over them throw
them on the pavement. No statistics
have ever been compiled Of the number
OF these proSpectuSeS and advertisements
daily issued, but 1t Is no exaggeration to
say that they really paper the boulevardS
by IL o'clock with a disgusting and rag
ged surface of multi-colored refuse.
1t is perhaps not generally known that
the men who are engaged in disseminat-
ing them are paid not by the hour but
by the hundreds or thousands they can
get rid of, and 1t naturally follows that,
besides Fostering the public in an insult
ferable manner, they seize every chance
them as possible escape unperceived into
the gutter.

which vibrates under the impact of the
sound waves. A needle attached to this
was made to leave a record
on a soft cylinder, and this record was
in turn used to reproduce the recorded
sound The essential difference between
the photograph and the graphophone is
that the Edison machine indents a record
on the cylinder with an up and down
movement Of the needle, while the Bell
and fainter machine cuts an up and
down line. In both of these machines
the sound lines on the record, whether
indented or cut, are Of varying depths.
In reproducing sound the needle is push
ed up over the shallow places in the
sound line by the pressure OF the record.
and is pushed down into the deep places
by the pressure Of the diaphragm.
The gramophone was invented by
Emile Berliner in 1887, and is. therefore
the youngest of the talking machine
family. In England the word "gramo-
phone is generally used for all kinds Of
talking machines, but in this country 1t
is little used, because the Berliner patent
has been advertised and sold under
trade name, the scientific name being
almost entirely ignored. The gramophone
is that machine made famous by the
picture of the dog listening to "his

Some Great Singers
Are Total Failures

who have made great regulations on the
stage are total failures when il comes
to singing into the talking machine
Many singers OF great fame have de-
clared that the talking machine has been
of great benefit to them in pointing out
faults which they themselves had over
looked.
Some voices are naturally adapted to
the business OF making records. One
ambitious girl, who had been unable to
secure a place in the chorus, conceived
the notion of having some Photographic
records made Of her voice to send To the
managers to be tried. She took the last
ten dollars she had and went TO record
making Office of one of the big talking
machine companies. She sang several
times and when she had finished went
to the desk to pay for the records. imag-
inc her joyful surprise when the manager
asked her to accept twenty dollars Tor
the records. and offered her regular po-
sition at a weekly salary three times as
high as she had hoped for in the chorus.
She is still making records. and is also
one Of the best 'posers" in the business.

Holes Like Buckets.

But perhaps the greatest cause of COM

themselves. 1t is no uncommon thing to
find holes as deep as a bucket. Woe be-
tide the unhappy motorist who leaves the
few well-paved main thoroughfares. He
is bumped and shaken and travels in gen.
eral discomfort
The reason for this appears to be the
lack of proper precautions. In London
the streets are washed down once in
twenty-four hours. In Paris they never
seem to undergo this necessary process.

are allowed to remain have a rotting eff

Had You Thought of This?

The merchant who advertises his goods advertises and helps build up the town, says an observing exchange. The hustling advertising business men are the ones that make Q town and are entitled to the trade of the public because they work not fol themselves alone but for the general up building of the community.
 The non advertising merchant is like a barnacle on ship. He moves be- cause the town moves, retards it's progress rather than helping it to grow. The town and community would be better without him or his business. He is parasite upon the business of the town, doing nothing to stimulate or enlarge the towns busi- ness activity but merely sapping his own existence out of the life of the town.
 He is like the drone in the bee hive. Doing none of the work of up building the town.
 The business man who does not be- lieve in advertising does not believe in fostering any public enterprise, but he does believe in, when he gets q customer Jumping him good and hard. His motto is small sales and big profits.
 These are things to be remembered when you come here to trade. If you believe in the growth of our city pa tronize her enterprising business men.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.

Gravette News Herald.
 The consolidation of schools is con- ing. Why not? While the progress of our great state has been steady and substantial for 40 years, the schools have not kept abreast of the times more especially the country school dis tricts. True, some changes have been wrought, some conveniences and ad- vanced book systems have been added yet there has been too little change in the general system of country schools , And we feel assured that the present body of legislators are going to make some changes.
 The meeting held here last Friday considered a very important step in this matter. It's primary purpose is for consolidating with special districts the adjacent or outlying country dis tricts. The enthusiasm that marked this meeting shows which way the wind is blowing, for there were present prominent Benton county men who are heartily in favor of advancing our school matters. This proposition is certain to come before the legislature, for Benton county at least; and indica- tions are that a more general consolida- tion bill will be considered by the legis- lature. that of consolidation, not only adjacent with special districts, but the consolidation of all rural schools such systems are in vogue and successfully operated in other states. Generally ap- piled. the consolidation would bring about the re-districting of townships, or in other words bring each township into a consolidated school All in all, such a change must bring about a con centration of funds which will insure better teachers, better school houses and fumiture-a higher education under better discipline at a lower cost. Other states maintain, in this line, "a county system, others "a township system" and still others "a community system, and each are reported to be successful.
 Space will not permit Us to go furth- CT into details of this matter; but suffice it to say, the adoption of such systems means a general advancement of our schools system, the doing away of in adequate, unsanitary, uncomfortable and unattractive rural schools and the establishment of a much smaller num- Der of larger, modernIy equipped build ings, better teachers, better discipline and higher education at less cost.
