lHQUe You Heard


NJ" And now from the great music house respons-
ible for the perfecting of the phonograph as
musical instrument, there has recently come
and better type of record. This record, made
under exclusive and more scientific system, pro-
duces astonishing musical results. Instead of the
slightly metallic effects hitherto characteristic of
phonograph performances, it produces clear, rich
tones Of great depth and beauty, which marvel
ously similar to the natural tones of different
instruments and voices.
You have only to come and hear this great COM
bination. Your own musical will verify our
claim that the Vocation playing the Vocation Rec
ord is the finest phonograph music ever produced.

Beauty of Case Design

TheVocalion does not stop at
musical superiority, nor at per-
fection of mechanical detail.
AS is the case with all Aeolian
instruments, the Vocation
cases are planned and executed
by the most expert designers
and artisans, the result being
a new standard of phono-
graph beauty. The exquisite
new Period Models, while
comparatively moderate in
price, are without doubt the
most artistic and unusual
monographs ever produced.

The Nev Universal 70ne-Arn1

In this feature of the Vocation
is found a perfect means of
supplying what is now recog-
nized as an absolute necessity
in the modern phonogfaph-
viz:apractical method of play
ing all makes Of records. Many
different companies are now
making records, and unless
these can all be played, all the
great artists cannot be heard.
Narrower, this new T Tone-Arm
not only plays all records, but
plays them at their best.

THE DRUG HABTT

According to the New York Tribune.
authorities lighting the drug evil in that
city are convinced that New York is fac
ing the greatest narcotic menace In its
history. Very recently there has been
an alarming growth in the use Of mar
cotics. particularly heroin. In stI
months the New York physicians have
written 100000 prescriptions for mar
cotics. 1t is impossible to believe that
any large proportion Of this VS.. mar
cotic trade is legitimate. There is, Of
course. only one cure for the vii, and
that Is rigid prevention Of narcotic sales.
The use of opiates is habit which most
people do not voluntarily acquire. 1t
Is not a habit that is attractive in itself,
and il can only be formed ,rn.lcr unusual
conditions. Rigid regulation Of the sale
of narcotic drugs should not depend
alone upon the activity Of 10 a. suthori
ties. The evil has become 80 widespread
that the federal government tseif can
we'll AFFORD to lend its did to its sup
prcssicn.

A SERIOUS OBJECTION

In the very concise interview printed
in The News Saturday Mr.. T. S. Riley
calls attention to feature Of the fltra-
ton bond issue which Is entitled to more
weight than most Of US have heretofore
given II. The provisions for the tncor-
poration Of Greater Wheeling very
clearly specify that the existing debts
Of the various municipalities are to be
discharged by tho municipalities them
selves. If the filtration bond issues
passes. $3.50. 900 will be added to the
indebtedness Of what Is now the city Of
Wheeling. This money and the interest
to carry it will therefore be direct
charge against the property and the tax
payers Of what is now the city of Wheel
ing. The improvement itself will. if
course Of time. become the property OF
the entire city. In other words. very
large enterprise Unoert6Aen ano carI1So
through for the benefit Of the entire
community becomes a charge against
only a portion Of the community.
The Intei1igencer was at first inclined
to favor the bond issue. The more care
fully, however it has investigated .he
matter the graver its doubts regarding
the propriety Of the plan, and the sug-
gestion made by Mr. Riley. who is one Of
the most careful and most conservative
attorneys Of the city. Is one that IS IN
doubtedly entitled to much weight. 1.
is unfortunate that project with such
merit as a filtration project, project
that all our citizens are interested in,
and wish to have carried through. should
be burdened with SO many Objectionable
features as the proposed bond issues
seems to have.

BETTER NEWS FROM
EUROPE

News from the peace council is OF
distinctly encouraging character. Appa-
rently the points OF difference between
the leading councillors have been adj
1usted or at least. arc IN fair WaF
of adjustment. The Germans have been
summoned 10 report IT Versailles this
week. which means that the conditions
OF the pesce treaty. so far as Germany
is concerned. have been practically
agreed upon. This covers the question
Of the Saar Valley. the Polish boundary
and the DanziG question. and probably
the entire subject OF rcparatien and in
demni,y. These arc three knotty points
which have been dividing the negotIat-
ors. Probably there arc other questions
to be settled which arc not so pressing
such as the 1talian-Serbian controversy
over the east coast of the Adrlatic Sea.
tho claims Of the Greeks and the Ser
Di6nS 10 various P3A - ~ ~~--
the moro remote territorial controversies
between the syrians, Aremians and
Aaraoians OF the Near Eost.
While no definite statement has been
made. 1t Is understood that some amend
ment 10 the proposed covenant Of the
nations has been agreed upon which viii
meet objections raised by members OF
the United States Senate. and probably
safeguard the Monroe doctrine beyond
all question. If the peace council reaches
conclusions along these lines it will un'
doubtedIy produce a much more salts
factory result than was thought possible
a few weeks ago. Another encouraging
niece Of news comes in the announce
ment that the Soviet government in BI'
varia has been ovcrshrown and that
moderate elements are again in control
of the Bavarian capital.

as We chose. but we can't make the pup

chasers to take our goods. In the long

conform to the law of supply and de-
mand. We must be able either to meet

competition, the only means we will

that can be effective only for the preser-

The sound prosperity Of any country
is based upon the broad foundation Of
an abundance Of food, an abundance Of
clothing and an abundance Of good
homes. all to be had ut reasonable
prices. Sooner OF later. if this country
is to continue in prosperity, we must
get back to that condition. We have in
the United States the greatest food pro-
ducing capacity in the VIC rid. and yet we
have the abnormal situation Of food pro-
ducts selling in this country at higher

astated by war We have In this couu-
Try the greatest capacity for producing

more than any other country whose in
dustries have not been disrupted that is
in situation to produce at all High
wages mean nothing unless the wages
are paid regularly, and they have the ca
pacity to buy abundantly Of the necessi-
ties Of life The arbitrary control over
prices wtxch has been exercised by the
government has undoubtedly done much
to keep up the high cost of living. If
government regulation rs TO be continued
for any length Of time, it ought to be
directed towards lower prices for every
product, and especially for everything
that Is necessary for the welfare and
comfort Of the ordinary home.
