FIRING ACROSS THE CHANNEL

Queen Elizabeth's pocket pistol" q
big weapon for its time, bore the leg
end:
Feed me well and keep me clean.
I'll send a ball TO Calais Green"
This statement was rather an exag-
geration," says "Tit-Bits," for no gun
has yet been invented that will fire a
she'll from England to France.
No matter how well it were fed, or
how clean it were kept. the old-fash-
toned cannon would not have sent a
ball more than a tenth Of the way
toward Calais, despite the fact that It
stood 800 feet high above the cliffs OF
Dover and was twenty feet long.
Even one of the famous i7-inch siege
guns Of the Germans would be unable
20 accomplish the feat. A military eX-
pert says that for she'll to reach Eng
land from France it would have to be
thrown twelve miles into the air. Al
though the famous German 17-inch
weapons could send she'll over Mount
Blanc. they could not hope to hurl 4
Jack Johnson" more than three-quar-
ters of the way from Calais to Dover.

visited the winter pool yesterday
afternoon at Brighton Beach, of whom
nine hundred donned bathing suits and
entered the salt pool During the

that the doors were closed until some

THE LOBSTER CATCH.

AS the supply of Holsters diminishes
the price paid by epicures for the marine
crustaceans rises rapidly.
This is made evident in an interesting
statistical bulletin which the Bureau of
Fisheries at Washington has just issued
Comparative figures .of the product of
Massachusetts, for instance, show that
the weight of Holsters caught has steadi-
ly gone down since 1880. when there was
a total catch of a, Bis, 416 pounds. until,
in 1913, only 1924, 3S9 pounds were taken
from the pots.
But the value of the great catch of
1880 was only little more than Sl5S, 900,
while the catch of last year was worth
almost twice as much, 1920, 423.
The largest hope for future Increase
of supply and decrease of price lies in
the fact that the lobstermen of the Bay
State have recently organized coopera-
tive associations for the purpose of as
81 ting in the enforcement of present
laws and securing new legislation for
lobster protection.
Whatever they may do to save their
own business from destruction will bene-
fit the consumers of salads, broiled lives

The Shoe Situation.

The lower temperatures stimulated the
distribution of footwear at retail, but
manufacturers complain that spring
orders continue small in volume. The
year closed, however, with feeling of
optimism in evidence, as stocks are not
burdensome and 1t is hoped that a good
buying movement will soon develop.
Prices are firm, in sympathy with the
strength in hides and leather, and the
belief still prevails that higher quota
tions for boots and shoes are in prospect.
Staples are wanted chiefly in men 8 lines,
especially tan and black calf goods, and
novelties continue to sell we'll in women's
wear. Seasonable quietness is apparent
in the leather market, many domestic
buyers now being engaged in inventory
taking. New foreign business is limited,
but revival of the export demand in
the comparatively near future is con-
fdently expected. -pun's Review, Jan.

THE PRESIDENTS NEUTRALITY.

The extra ordinary course taken by the
President in interfering constantly on the
side of Germany, Austria and Turkey
while processing neutrality in the present
war has called for constant and bitter
comment. Every move he has made has
been in this direction and against Eng
land, France and Russia.
In refusing France the privilege of
borrowing money of private bankers in
this country he traversed the admitted
privilege of citizens of neutral country
to the embarrassment Of France and the
betterment of Germany, Austria and
Turkey.
In proclaiming his intention to trans
fer from thirty to fifty millions from
the United States Treasury into the
hands of German capitalists, where it
will be available for further German war
loans the President is not merely violat-
ing neutrality, he Is violating interna-
tional law in order to help Germany.
That this transfer is to be made indirect
ly through the purchase of German ves-
sells, some of them members of the Ger
man Naval reserve, is an incident that
does not alter the fact.
The Presidents so-called shipping bill
is absolutely nothing but Intervention in
favor of Germany and her friends and as
such the ambassadors of France, England
and Russia have already, in person, pro-
tested against its passage.
The acceptance, without apology and
with a most lame explanation, of repeat
ed acts by Germany's ally. Turkey, not
merely invading but firing upon Ameri-
can ships, is but another indication of
the Presidents mpathies in this con-
test and his willingness IN that ca use to
strain neutrality to the limit.
The letter of protest to England and the
demand for damages from that country
for her interference with American COM
merce is along the same line, further
embarrassment for England and her al
lies and, naturally source of satisfaction
to Germany and her friends. The Com
mercial Bulletin.

earle & Jones, local agents for the Edi-
son goods have received the following
letter of interest to owners of Edison
monographs and records:
You will be glad to learn that the re-
cent fire was not nearly so bad as first
supposed. Owing to the concrete con-
struction of the buildings that contained
the machinery and tools, our m anufac-
turing equipments suffering surprisingly
little damage. The power plant was un-
touched by the fire and we have plenty
of heat and power. An enormous force
of men has been at work night and day
since the fire, and the machinery and
tools are being transferred to various
other buildings and shops. Already three
manufacturing departments are running
on regular schedule. We have made con-
tracts with number of outside machine
shops and we shall be turning out both
cylinder and disc monographs again in
quantities in very short time. On the
cylinder line we are concentrating par
ticularly on the $4,000 model and it will
be the first to come through.
AS to record manufacture, we are in
good shape. for we saved nearly all of
the master moulds and we have the
Working Mould Department in full
operation. The Recording Laboratory
is located in New York and there has
been no interruption Of recording. We
expect to be manufacturing Blue Am
berol Records in January and will send
you order blanks in due time. Our print
ed matter stock escaped the fire and we
are still able to supply limited quantities
of catalogs and advertising literature.
