DENIES LOW PRICE PREDICTION.
Chicago Wholesaler Declares No Pros
pect for Pre-War Prices.

Chicago, May 26.-Marvin B. Pool,
manager of Butler Brothers, largest
general wholesale jobbing house in the
west, today issued the following state
ment denying a report whcih quoted
Butler Brothers as predicting a return
of pre-war prices within two years.
Unfortunately. the reported state
ment of one of our employees, mex
perienced in price matters, did not at
all express Butler Brothers opinion or
judgment" said Pool. mo one at
this time can predict with any degree
of accuracy. whether prices will go
higher. maintain their present level,
or be materially reduced. Personally,
doubt if values will ever again reach
the pre-war levels. and I see no reason
for any material change in prices for
many months to come"

trial Court Before Co-Ops.
Praise for Kansas and its industrial
court law which he termed "a revolu-
ton of thought" was expressed by H.
o. Stetson of Boston. in an address be-
fore the Cooperative club at its regu-
lar meeting last night at the Elks'
club. Stetson is industrial secretary
of the Associated Industries of Massa-
chusetts.
I'VE of Boston are Jealous of Kansas
for the wway she continually gets in
the national limelight, but Kansas has
been there so much lately that we
have had to get accustomed to it," he
said.
Col. John S. Dean denounced present
federal taxes in an address before the
club, saying that because of the taxes
the consumer is burdened and indus
try is penaiized. Edwin Kistler of the
McCord-Kistler Mercantile company
was elected to membership in the
club.

Hears famous soprano
compare voice with RECREATION by Edison's new
monograph not tell the two apart

cola LUCEY, the famous American
soprano, gave an extraordinary recital
- last night at High School Auditorium.
Miss Lucey walked on to the stage and
stood beside stately cabinet. She began
to sing Song of Songs" The audience
Immediately yielded to the spell of her
beautiful voice. Then suddenly there was
a stir-a subdued murmur of surprise
and perplexed rubbing of eyes. Miss
Lucey's voice continued to fill the audi
forum with undiminished sweetness
your ears were proof of that-but her lips
had become absolutely silent-your eyes
told you that.

What wizardry was this? 1t was the
test of direct comparison with the living
artist, which Thomas A. Edison has de-
veloped to demonstrate that the Official
Laboratory Model of his new photograph
will sing any song exactly as it was sung
by the artist, and that his RECREATION
of a singers voice, as it comes from his
wonderful new monograph, positively
cannot be distinguished from the singers
actual voice, when both are heard in di-
rect comparison.
Miss Lucey made repeated comparisons
always with the same result. 1t was
truly wonderful. This master achievement
of the great wizard Edison, marks new
epoch in music.
