EDISON PH0NOCRAPHS and RECORDS

HERE'S WHAT THE
MINNEAPOLIS DAILY
NEWS SAYS:

Experts from the laboratory OF
Thomas A. Edison, with the aid Of
Madam Marie Rappold, of the Met
ropolitan Opera Company, demon
strated Friday night in the Audito-
riur, that the inventor has attained
such perfection in reproducing the
human voice that it was actually
impossible for a large sinvited audi
cnce to distinguish between the prl-
ma donna's voice and the Edison Re-
Creation of it.
"Those in the audience familiar
with Madam Rappold's voice were a
trihe astonished-the voice they
heard seemed unquestionably hers,
although they faced the visible evil
dcnce of her closed lips. Then Mad
am Rappold's lips opened, and her
voice poured out. There were two
voices in the Auditorium now. Here
it became evident that, although
Madam Rappold was singing, her
voice was matched so perfectly by
the voice in the cabinet that it was
impossible to distinguish between
the two

Land Available for Settlement
At present it is impossible to
to estimate the acreage within
our State, but without aid from
the government in the construc
tion of the many possible recla-
nation projects. acres of land in
Arizona will be rather few. How
ever, there is a generous feeling
upon the part of many large land
owners who will list their land
at reasonable figures.
Aside from furnishing homes
for our soldiers, we hope to have
a good emigration of civilians
from our congested centers of
tie United States and from eli
mates less desirable to live in

Thrift and economy, cham.
pioned by the womanhood OF
America, have won the strug.
gle against greed and rapacity.
Cannons and guns and men die
their part on the field of battle
but it was the savings of the
men and women at home that
put them there.
Out of the four-years trag-
edy has come the lesson of
thrift. Not the niggardly
boarding of the miser, but the
knowledge of the value Of
economy that produced the
sage advice of Burns:
"Save money, not for to hide
it in hedge,
Nor for a train attendant;
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"
Women have always been
the savers in the home, from
necessity, but "the glorious
privilege of being independ-
ent," gained from the fulfill
ment of patriotic duty, has
given them an incentive to
economize and save for the
sheer joy of saving.
A far-seeing government has
provided us with a means of
saving--Thrift Stamps, War
Savings Certificates, Liberty
Bonds-which, apart from
their use in winning the war,
have proved to be one of the
greatest moral and material
blessings ever devised.
There has been no letting
down of effort by the women
of the Eleventh Federal Re-
serve District because the
Fourth Liberty Loan was put
over successfully and war was
declared ended soon after. 1t
has ever been the part of wo-
man to do quietly, but effec-
lively, those duties recurring
persistent effort, with . a
thought only for the final ra-
suit. Patiently and steadily
the officers of the Women's
Lit erty Loan Committees have
been preparing the way for the
next great demand, unchecked
by the fact that bloodshed has
ceased.
AS chairman of the Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee of
the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District, l ask every woman
in the district to be true TO
the traditions of our sex.
Through necessity we learned
to save. We can now put
to use the knowledge gained of
independence through saving.
We owe this duty to our chill
dren, our families, ourselves,
md our country.

ARBITRATION IN STEEL WALk-0UT
 BEFORE MEETING
Industrial Conference Today Will Take Up Rec0mmen-
 datiOn of Labor. -

Washington, Oct. 13.-Labor's
 resolution proposing intervention in
 the steel strike will come before the
 national industrial conference, with
 out recommendation from the cen- tral committee, as the first order of
 business tomorrow, it was learned
 authoritatively tonight.
 The committee devoted only a small portion of an all day session to consideration of the arbitration
 resolution. Owing to the opposition
 of majority of the five members of the employers group in the com
 mittee a favorable report could not
 be obtained and the resolution will follow the only other possible course open-back to the main body, of the
 conference i. ,,,S 3l Ha <. ! Members of the conference ex- pressed the opinion tonight that the
 proposal will meet the same fate tomorrow. A strong majority of the employers group is known tu
 oppose intervention in the strike, and action can be taken only with the
 approval of each of the three groups, voting separately. Delegates enter
 tained but little doubt that moro than half of the public representatives will vote for the resolution, but point ed out that in the employers group only the agricultural representatives look with favor on the arbitration plan.
 Out of the deference to their fel- low member, Ebert H. Gary, chair man of the board of the United States Steel coropartion, representatives of the public have never discussed the steel strike in their group meetings and it probably will be necessary for the group to take advantage of the 20 minute recess allowed under the rules to caucus prior to casting the
