Joseph Sanders of Washington has
just patented method of making
phonograph records. He makes a disk
of material that becomes plastic under
heat; heats only that part which is to
bear the record, sprinkles a powder
over this part and impresses a record
upon the heated surface under high
pressure. Thus he takes a cast of any
record on his disk and forces the cen-
trail part that is to bear the label out
Of the plane Of annular margin, or rec
ord part.

VOLUMES.
BY No Means Always the Most Impor-
tant Things Recorded That Remain
In the Memory After
Lapse of Time.

There Is peculiar pleasure In striv-
ing to remember something OF books
enjoyed years ago and never read
again. II happened with us, and may
with most people that IN many in
stances one or two scenes, one or two
gestures, starting out of a sort Of fog,
stand for the whole book. There are
numerous fogs and each one has its
own quality.
All that is left to us of Rob Roy"
Don Marquis writes In the New York
Sun, its woman with broadsword I'M
her hand who stands upon a rocky way
that oyerhangs lake and screams
forth n vehement command. Someone,
we believe, Is about TO be cast over the
precipice at this furious lady's order.
rhe earth round about is reddish
brown and overhead the clouds are
moving rapidly.
"Rleak House is woman who clings

bars And we have also some faint rec
election Of an echo that was like the
footstep Of sentinel ghost The fog
from which emerges the woman at the
ron gate is more than fog; it is black

drowned in a swirling, icy pool we can
still see him as he bends over and tries
o catch little fish with his fingers in
the cold brook just before he falls into
the pool. The pale glitter Of faint
sun upon shaken drops Of water and o
sense Of much snow and rain generally
are our only other impressions of the
book.
tom Sawyer" is boy cropping and

pranks we remember nothing. "Huekle-
berry Finn" we almost know by heart,
but then we have read it a dozen
times.
In "Toilers Of the Sea- where the
man is seized by the devilfish as he
himself is hunting crabs to eat, Hugo
elaborately builds up scene which is
the epitome of the whole tremendous
book and the symbol of the gaunt eter-
nal struggle between man and nature
animate and inanimate) which the
book dramatizes. And yet, for all HUI
go's craft and power, that scene thrills
us less-speaks less stirringly to our
blood and nerves--than one incident,
Of far less significance in the same vol.
ume.
This incident which stirs us more,
deals merely with the murder of a
guard on the edge of a cliff that over
looks the sea. 1t is a thing that in no
wise touches the moral bones of the
story; it is not essential to the struc-,
ture of the tale as a tale; another de-
vice might have been used if Hugo had
not evidently fancied this one for his.
own sake. But it gets itself remem-l
bered. The devilfish scene, informed
though it is of the essential spirit of
the book expressed in the terms Of ply
steal conflict, will have left us long be-.
fore we forget the coastguardsman's
murder.

FRICTION ARISING
OVER PROFITS ON
FEDERAL WORK
Refusal of Bethlehem Steel
Corporation to Supply Rails
For French Operations
Reveals Trouble.
international News Service


WASHINGTON, Aug. Q. ~ Eric
ton between the business interests
of the nation and the administration
is increasing This became evident
today when officials refused point
blank TO discuss the refusal OF the
Bethlehem Steel corporation to de-
liver an order of steel rails intended
for use in France because the price
fixed was too low.
1t was evident i'm the Offices of
the council Of national defense. in
the war industries board and in the
hotels where the representatives of
business congregate, that there was
decided differences Of opinion en-
tertained as 10 the governments
policy. The general situation is
about as follows:
First.-The war industries board
announced all prices on war mater
ials must be uniform to the United
States and to all Of the entente
allies.
Base Price on Average.
Second The administration will
insist that war materials, including
practically all steel products, shall
be manufactured at figure based
on average cost" which manufac-
turers say is unfair as all materials
and labor costs are constantly ad-
vancing
Third.-The federal trade COM
mission. directed 10 fix prices Of
steel products has not done so and
manufacturers cannot tell where
they stand.
FOurth-The manufac turers OF
the United States say that an unfair
advantage is being taken Of them
in the demand that they supply ma
terials TO the entente at the same
figure quoted to the United states.
They claim that the argument that
the United States is to loan the
money to make such purchases and
that because Of this low prices
should prevail is an unfair one. This
money is loaned. not given, they
say. They are willing 10 make pa
triotic sacrifices to the United States
bv cutting costs to the minimum
but the United States ought not 10
ask them TO be patriotic 10 the allies
and sacrifice all OF their profits,
they say.
Fifth.-In anticipation Of the
manufacturers making good on the
above argument, Sen. Pomerene. OF
Ohio. has introduced a bill. said 20
he sanctioned by the administration,
which would permit the govern
ment under the guise OF the war
necessity which was responsible for
the passage Of the food bill. TO take
over the control of iron. iron ore.
and steel products and fix prices and
arrange for distribution
Business representative here to-
dav said as soon as the federal
trade commission and the war in
dustries board announce their prices
on steel il will be possible for the
manufacturers 70 say whether they
can meet those prices.
The entire situation admittedly is
fraught with serious possibilities
and officials admitted today that
most careful handling will be neces-
