Music There's Real Pleasure.

The Absolute Recreation Of Music.
rs BEING demonstrated by the
i new Edison instrument In the
Rouse Edison parlors. Twentieth
and Farnam. When you hear re-
productions OF world famed artists
and live again the pleasure you felt
during an hour spent under the
spell Of 4 living golden voice, you
realize indeed what Mr.. Edison has
done in this instrument Many rad
ical departures have been made from
the principles followed by other
manufacturers of sound producing
devicesl In place of a steel needle,
the perfectly smooth diamond was
adopted. Instead of the steel nee
die arm, a piece of silken cord was
used! For the Mica diaphragm,
diaphragm of 40 thicknesses of spe-
cial vegetable tissue, reinforced, to
give the proper residence, with
graduated thicknesses OF cork. The
materials used do not add single
tone of their own Or take away any
quality or expression of the living
artist.

But why go chestless3 Surely in
these days of simplicity in design
ing, you will welcome Developgiene,
which I've Just discovered in the
Franco-American Shop, 722 Bran
deis Building, a fattening cream for
developing the bust, rounding out
thin necks, arms, hands and ell
bows. You will, I'm sure, appre!
ciate the fact that it has a most
refining effect on the texture OF the
skin. Send me $1.00 for this cream,
or send it direct to the Franco

Good Taste in Wartime Dressing.
EFT me recommend for the
- hours at war work, suits which
though so practical and sturdy in
quality, have lines of sufficient chic
for club luncheon or lectures The
Lamond Shop, 20S Securities Bldg,
are showing just the suit needed in
the busy whirl of days in which we
now find ourselves. There are most
satisfying blue serge suits, with tail
ored lines, and frivolous touch in
the Innings, practical indeed. While
in most voguish fabrics and colors,
trimmed luxuriously in fur, are the
more elaborate suits, rejecting in
their dignity and simplicity of line
the seriousness of the times.

THE SON OF DEMOCRACY.

Abraham Lincoln, the boy and the
man, are the leading characters in
"The Son of Democracy" the Para
mount series, produced by Benjamin
Chaplin, which begins it's run at the
Strand Theatre this Friday. That the
appeal of these splendid photoplay
stories is universal, that they do not
depend upon history" for their sue
cess, is proved by the fact that Japan
wants them. Sakae & Co., of Toxic,
have offered to buy the japanese
rights. Their letter evidently was
written by some person who had been
talking to some provincial New York
er who believes that New York is the
United States, for the address reads:

STATE TREES FOR
FRENCH FARMS
Governor Makes an Offer of
100000 Trees and Men
to Plant Them, Too

An offer of 100000 young trees
and the services of Pennsylvania
foresters to plant them in the war
devastated regions OF France has
been made by Governor Brumbaugh
on behalf of the Keystone states
Forestry Commission. The trees
have been raised in the nurseries of
the Forestry Department and the
offer will remain open for two or
three years. A number of state for
esters have been in France and have
reported that extensive reforestation
will be necessary.
The governors offer contemplates
sending additional men from the
forestry service of the state of need
ed, although forty men from that
department are now in United States
army forestry units, most of them
in France.
The governors letter was sent to
Col. Henry Graves. who organized
the forest regiments and is as fol-
flows:
My dear Col. Graves:
II beg to invite your attention
to the accompanying communication
from Hon. Robert S. Conklin, Com
missioner of Forestry of this Com
monwealth, in which he suggests the
tender of four million white pine
seedlings to the French government
to reforest the eastern part of that
country, which section we under
stand has been devastated by the
war.
II beg to say that the suggestion
contained in this communication
meets with my cordial approval, and
If you will be good enough to bring
this to the attention of the French
authorities, we shall be very happy
to carry out the tender made, and
place at their disposal any reason
able number of seedlings which ii
is possible for them to utilize"

AS had been anticipated by real
estate dealers in the city the usual
rush of property transfers develop
ed during the, last week keeping
clerks at the county recorders office
busy receiving the documents and
filing them. AS the winter sales had
been slightly lower this year clerks
at the office who are transcribing
the deeds are already working on
the ones which have been filed this
week showing that the force will
soon have the books up-to-date.
An unusually large number had
been reported during the last few
days and complete records for the

COMMISSION TO
APPROVE PLANS
State Department of Labor
Arranges to Have Body
Pass on Plans

Arrangements have been made by
the Bureau of Municipalities of the
State Department of Labor and In
dustry with the Borough council OF
New Cumberland and the recorders
of deeds in Cumberland and York
counties that no conveyances OF
plots of ground within three miles
of the city of Harrisburg will be ac-
cepted to be recorded unless they are
approved first by the City Planning
Commission. Announcement of this
agreement was made today, in view
of the fact that big building opera
tons are expected in the vicinity OF
New Cumberland because of the big
government supply depots to be built
there.
The arrangement does not af-
feet any plans of the Government
for it's buildings, sidings or any
other operation, but will put restric-
tions on any persons purchasing and
developing real estate in the Vicin-
ity. A large number of houses will
in all probability be built and plots
will be laid out. All of these will
be carried out by private parties il
is said, and before any plans can be
recorded they will have to be SUBJ
mitted to the City Planning officials
as is provided by an act of Assem-
bly,.
A meeting of the planning body
will probably be held early in April
Notices will be sent out next week
telling of present developments
These will include reference to tht
surveying work and laying out OF
streets in the recently annexed Four
teenth ward; and a request from q
property owner in Susquehanna
township to have the place plotted
