New Device Enables Afflicted to

Sunshine has been brought into the
lives OF a host of deaf lads ana las
sizes who are fond or dancing by
simple apparatus invented by r.
Gernsback, editor of the Electrical
Experimenter, whereby they are made
conscious OF the rhythm or music
through electrodes worn in the FORM
OF bracelets and are thus enabled 10

At the age OF sixteen Mr.. Germs
hack "rigged up" a phonograph with
microphone In such way that
music was conveyed by wire DIS
tance OF 800 yards. While expert
menting with this apparatus the IN
ventor accidentally touched two wires
OF the secondary terminals and re-
ceivedsa smart shock. seventeen
years later the thought OF that shock

Phisoshene Invented.
He set TO work and perfected what
he calls a physiophone. by which a
person, deaf or not. feels with aston
ishing fidelity the rhythm OF music.
What one really feels, according to
the inventor. is sound vibration trans
lated into electrical impulses. which
in turn are felt physiologically by the
human nerves. With little practice IL
Is possible to recognize different
tunes Nmerely by the variation OF the
little tingling shocks. Different tunes.

as voices. can readily be differenti-

any sound whatever.

Gernsback, telling Of his experiments
with the physiophone. Then the
switch was thrown, and OF course no
sound was heard. BY grasping the

MRS. HAMMERSTEIN TOT
RETAIN OPERA HOUSE

In spite of the fact that real estate
interests have been anxious to pur-
chase the Manhattan Opera House
property in New York, ii Is not to be

week that real estate firm recently
offered Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein $780,
900 for the property. later increasing
this offer to Sl.2JO, 900.
Mrs. Hammerstein. when seen by a

II have made a contract for ten

End the cloudy film

Most teeth are dinmed by film. A viscous
film clings to them, enters crevices and stays.
Most tooth troubles are now traced to it.
1t is this hlm-coat that discolors -- not the
teeth 1t is the basis of tartar 1t holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid. 1t
holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay
Millions of germs breed in it. They. with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea, and
very few people escape it.
The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve
it, so the tooth brush does not end it. Thus
most people suffer from that film.
Now dental science, after years of search
ing, has found way to combat it. Able au-
thorities have amply proved its efficiency.
Now leading dentists everywhere advise it,
and millions of people have come to en-
ploy it.

Everyone is welcome

Now this new method is embodied in dem
thrice called Pepsodent. And everyone is
welcome to a ten-day test.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant
of albumin. The film ic alburninous matter.
The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then
to day by day combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible 1t must
be activated, and the usual agent is an acid
harmful to the teeth. But science has found
harmless activating method, and pepsin can
be every day applied
Two other new-day requisites are COM
bined in Pepsodent. So this method in three
ways brings unique results, and everyone
should know them.
Send the coupon for To-Day Tube. Note
how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark
the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth
whiten as the film-coat disappears. 1t will
be revelation.
Do this for your sake and your family's
sake. Judge the method by results Cut out
the coupon now, for few things are more i'm
portant than whittier, safer teeth.

Put Your Heart in Your Work..
It is your attitude towards your
work that counts. 1t may seem to
you not to matter whether you are
interested, or bored stiff by the dicta-
ton you take, but it does. A pessi-
mistic uninterested, weary unto death
of-this-sort-of-t person is a kind
of lightning rod that runs his own
electric currents of hope and enthusi-
asm into the ground, and no business
man can afford to have her around
him. And he won't.
Apply the enthusiasm test to your
own experience. Suppose you want to
buy a hat. You go into millinery
shop, and a languid young person
comes forward, smothering yawn
behind her hand, and looking as if
she hated you for disturbing her
for new headgear. She brings you the
first two or three hats she can lay
her hands upon. without even looking
at the shape of your face, and your
complexion. to see the style that will
suit you, then she claps them, hit or
miss. on your head, and it's up to you
to take or leave them.
That girl couldn't sell you hat IN
a million years. The one who gets
your money is the clerk who Is on
her tiptoes, who regards a hat as the
noblest work of art, and herself as a
homely people pretty by putting the
right sort of lids on them, who fluffs
your hair, and holds the mirror this
way and that. and is so enthusiastic
about the hat she is trying to sell
you, that she actually hypnotizes you
into believing that if you buy it, no
body will be able to tell you and Lii
liam Russell apart.
Put your heart into your work,
daughter. Get so interested in what
you are doing, that it won't be work
any more. 1t will be play You know
the allure of the game consists in put

Make a bet with the dictionary that it

world. and it's a fascinating thing to

a srRIKE THAT FAILED.

The long drawn out strike of the
longshoremen in New York ended re-
Gently in a victory for the people and
the strikers have returned to work.
The history of the trouble affords a
lesson for both union labor and the
public.
Early in May the city was suffer
ing so acutely from collapse of
transportation facilities. due largely to
labor difficulties, that an informal
committee was organized, including
the presidents of some large civic or
CARNATIONS of the city, to deal with
the situation.
The committee held protracted con-
ferences with representatives of the
steamship companies and of the
unions concerned but, being unable to
compose the difficulties, determined
that its duty could only be performed
by securing impartial and uninterrupt-
ed service for the city. It was thus
that the citizens transportation COM
mittee came into being.
The transportation Trades council
is a federation of unions representing
tedInSLeTS ana C0dUIl6uES as wen as
the longshoremen with a membership
of 100000. It refused to move any
non-union merchandise.
None of the members would handle
any ,non-union goods or any goods
transported in any way by firms. cor
poyations or individuals who refused
to employ union labor or refused to
enter into a contract to transport their
goods under union terms.
No union man would work with any
non-union labor nor handle the prod
ucts of any non-union labor nor assist
in the transportation of any goods
which was to be forwarded by any
firm, individual or corporation which
either refused to employ union labor
or refused to enter into a contract or
agreement with the various unions
represented by the Trades council.
The situation of course became in
tolerable. The business interests of
the city took the matter in hand and
found other means of moving com
modities.. with the result that the
strikers threw up their hands, afford
ing one more proof that a strike. in
order to succeed, must be based on
common sense and fairness.

At this point. one of the natives of
Golden approached the car to see
what had happened, and betwee.l his
sturdy e1oquence and the impressive

was only too true. Nc nerve-racking
thrills were encouEte;s 2. much to the
disappointment of the little boy who

of the type which tur..s every traveller
into a Colorado enthusiast. At the top
of the first ascent from Golden the car
stopped a..d everybody climbed out on
a rocky ledge, the timid southern
ladies included. to get a superb view
of the broad valley below. From this
point also, the guide pointed to the
giant crevice at our feet where the
first Colorado gold mine is said to
have been located, commenting upon
the better known features of the early
gold rush.
Then. while we were still in an

up and around another curve to the
spot where Buffalo Bill is supposed
to be buried. We say supposed. be-
cause while the grave marked by a
tall. rough-stone monument is osten-

Denver residents that the famous Cody
actually is buried some II miles
away. However. the grave adds to
the atmosphere of the trip. and af-
fords the tourists chance to exer-

to- buy postal cards and soft drinks at
a nearby log pavilion.
The rest of the trip consists of a
gradual descent through lovely green
stretches of park and then through

steep. spruce-covered cliffs. Hera

tourist is also apparent. Everything
has been carefully labelled for his
