HOSPITAL PATIENTS
GET MUSIC BY WIRE

An electro-static talking machine
introduced recently in the Walter
Reed Hospital in Washington reaches
patients individually by means of a
special electrical device. From con-
nection established with the main in
strument music is supplied to the
invalid through a bedside receiving
set, by merely raising the small re-
ceiver to the ear. In this way con-
valescent patients may derive enjoy
ment from the music without dis
turbing those too i'll to listen to it.
Still another feature Of the inven-
ton is its ability to transmit news OF
the day to the listener. The news
is read aloud into the receiver in the
library and Immediately is within the
reach Of any patient who desires to
hear it.

SLIGHT DROP IN PRICES
REPORTED BY PALMER
Fair Price Commissioners of De-
partment Of Justice Say Prof
iteering Is Curbed.

The campaign to force down the
high cost of living is producing def
mite results. according to Attorney
General Palmer. While the drop in
prices has been slight in the last
month. Mr.. Palmer said, the campaign
has acted as a brake against rising
prices.
Reports coming to the department
from its fair price commissioners"
the Attorney General said. "indicat e
that the decreases are principally due
to the driving out of profiteering
margins of trade. The fair-price com
missions have been unusually sue
cessful in the last sixty days in get
ting the trades to enter into agree
ments limiting their margins of
profit on given articles. on which the
dealers themselves have admitted
taking generous profits.
I'm some lines it has been found
that no reductions could be effected
with fairness to the dealers. Some ar
ticles. particularly clothing. however.
have dropped as much as Is per cent
in cost to the consumer. while the
average of all articles represents a
smaller percentage of decrease"
Mr.. Palmer said that thus far the
department had taken no. part in the
overall movement. although he be-
lieved that the movement indicated
a purpose on the part of the public
to buy more carefully" He said this
would go a long way toward climi-
mating unfair prices.
