Made First Cash Register.

A man named Jacob Ritty, mer-
chant Of Dayton, O., took a vacation
trip to Europe. While crossing on the
steamer, he >sauntered one day into the
engine room and noticed device that
mechanically recorded the number Of
revolutions Of the propeller shaft. I'm
mediately came the idea to the mind
of Mr.. Ritty: "Why not invent ma
chine that would record each coin put
into the cash drawer?" When he re-
turned home he invented the first
"cash register" John H. Patterson
was keeping grocery store In small
town 80 miles from Dayton. He heard
Of the Ritty contrivance, sent an or
der for one, and that was the
inventors first order. The machine
was crude, but it Interested Mr.. Pat
terson and he saw how 1t could be per-
fected. IF it's good for my store" he
argued, "why not for all storesT'
Forthwith he went to Dayton, bought
the Ritty interest out, and started the
National Cash Register Co., which has
now 100000 machines and every
year turns out more than 10000 cash
registers.

RUSSIANS INVITED
): !. TO MEET POWERS
MAY SEND REPRESENTATIVES, TO
MEETING PLACE ON PRINCES
ISLAND, IF THEY DESIRE.
Move Inaugurated by President Wilson
to United the Factions Of Distressed
Russians and Bring Them Into
the Peace Conference.

Paris.-Led by President Wilson the
supreme council of the great powers
on Wednesday moved to unite the fac
lions of distressed Russia and bring
them into the peace congress-.
They unanimously adopted propo-
sition brought forward by President
Wilson asking all the Russian factions,
Including the Bolshevists, to meet the
allied and associated governments at
Princes Islands in the Sea of Marmora,
on February Is, the cOntending fac
tions meantime declaring truce and
suspending all military operations.
The joint commission of the aSs0-
ciated governments will be announced
as soon as the Russian factions accept
the proposal, which was communicated
to them by wireless. The Russian
commission will proceed to the meeting
place, probably by warship, by way of
the Black sea and the BOsphorus.
General John ]. Pershing, the Amer
lean Ommander-in-chief, has been
called to Paris, and it is expected that
he will be the military member of the
American representative of the joint
commission.
Aside from the Importance Of the
conclusions reached, it was especially
notable as being the first time that
the voice of the United States had
taken the direction in the concert Of
European powers on the most serious
European question now presented.
There was added significance in the
fact that an American president In
person had taken leadership in the
councils made up chiefly Of European
statesmen, and had pointed to a way
which they had unanimously adopted.
The final result came after three
days of continuous discussion of Rus
STA, which did not crystalline until the
final hours, when President Wilson
presented in writing the plan he had
elaborated.
