The Baryphore is a new inVen- ton which is on a fair way of reyolutionizing the telephone system. As is well known, the American telephone is often very unsatisfactory, but the draw backs are wholly eliminated by the Baryphone, which makes conversation on the longest dis tances just as clear as on short circuits, as the sound is carried to both ears and all noise ex- cluded. Persons hard of hear ing, who hitherto have been pro- hibited from using the telephone, can now use it with the aid of the Baryphone, which also will permit two persons to hear the message without the use of double telephone. The Barry phone is the only simple, practi- cal and effective sound intensif- CT in existence and is incompar- ably superior to all others espec- tally as it leaves the hand free for annotationS during the con versation. See the ad in this paper.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, Oct. H.-Another severe
wave of liquidation swept over the stock
market today, dragging the greater part
of the list to lower quotations since the
inception of the long-existent downward
movement.
Keener realization Of the Italian crisis,
uneasiness as to the attitude Of the neu-
trail European nations and disappointment
at the showing of the United States Steel
Corporation for the third quarter were
the primary influences which prompted
the decline.
Losses were partly retrieved in the final
hour when shippinss and some Of the rails
rebounded vigorously. Categorical denial
by officials of the stock exchange of any
intent to resort to minimum prices or oth-
erwise restrict legitimate trading also
served to restore a semblance of order
United States Steel was singled out at
the beginning by the bears, who argued
that Yesterdays statement indicate a re-
action in that industry. The stock was
offered in single lots of 1000 to 5000 shares
down to it's recent minimum of 80 Is

ENGLISH AS SHE is SPOKE
What the American Soldier Intends to
Do With Kaiser Is Not Under
stood in England.

With commondable enterprise q Lon
don editorial brother seeks to clarity
for his readers the quaint expression of
certain American soldiers who have in
timated that their first undertaking in
Europe will be to "can the kaiser In
interpreting them to intend to seal up
his high m~ightiness Theoretically, how
ever, the Londoner's zeal outruns his
information.
Nix, nix, friend, 1t doesn't mean that
mt all! says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. 1t means merely that they pro-
pose to decorate the German emperor
with hardware; to take his taw; pour
the leather into him put him on the
pan slip him one on the windl kid
nap his Angora; show him where he
gets off. To put it more plainly, hav-
ing bought chips in a game where the
custom has been to play ZEN close to
the waistcoat, the Americans have
taken off the limit and they
will copper all bets, see all raises and
intend, the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet, to call him off the
Christmas tree.
1t is plain in the circumstances that
our British brethren are about to find
their knowledge of English handsome
