Adjustment of the rates on third
class postal matter and parcel post.

heavier package for less postage than
a light one. is to be expected at the
next session of Congress.
1t developed today that it is pos
sible to send a four-pound package of
printed matter as third-class matter
from Washington to Philadelphia for
80 cents. but that if the parcel weighs
four pounds one ounce 1t comes with
in the parcel post rate and can be
sent for 9 cents.
Postal authorities point to this as
one of the rate absurdities which have

FRANCE ISSUES
new OBLIGATION
Issue of 2OO,OOO,OOO Francs Is
To Promote Sugar Indus
try in France.

The French government has jus,
issued a loan of 20O.0O0,00O francs
through the Compton National
d Escompte de Paris in aid of the
sugar industry in France.
According to advices just re-
ceived by the Bankers Trust Com
pany. of New York, from it's French
information service, French sugar
production for 1921 Is estimated at
ESQ. 900 tons. as against 1855, 900 tons
last year and $4,000 tons in 1913.
But for the very severe drought IL
Would probably have attained $780,
900, tons this year, as the area
planted in beets had been increased
by nearly 20 per cent over that of
last year.
In 1913 the area in beets was
266.200 hectares Ga necrare is 2.4r
acres), and in 1920, only $3.50 hec-
tares. owing to destruction by the
war. Out of 21S factories that were
running in 1913. only 20 exist now.
These are. however, moro than able
to take care of the present crop.
Frances normal consumption of
sugar is about 100000 tons a year.
and aside from home production
she gets 100000 tons from her colo
nies. This is imported free of duty,
and only pays the excise tax of 500
francs a ton which is levied on all
sugar consumed in France.
The duty on foreign sugar has
just been raised from 200 francs to
500 francs per ton, so tnat the Gus
toned now has to pay in taxes
alone 1000 francs per ton, whereas
the prewar price of sugar was only
$50 francs a ton.

will be offered by her associate dare

miles an hour to a plane travelling at

The New Edison, at her side, took up her song,-and continued
it alone.
Singer and photograph thus alternated, throughout the
song.
The only way the audience could be sure which was singing
was by watching Miss Arden's lps-so exactly like the living
voice was the RE-CREATED voice.
Miss Adeine Packard made the same test Of comparison with
her piano and violin selections. Again the same result-there
was no difference between the RE-CREATED performance and
the living performance.
Proof was piled upon proof! Evidence was massed on evil
dence! The end of the concert found the audience absolutely
and completely convinced, through its own personal experience,
that there is no difference between an artists living performance
and it's RECREATION by the New Edison,-that listening to the
New Edison is, in literal truth, the same as listening to the living
artists. -
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-19

In a test of direct comparison, made at High School Audito-
rum, before a large audience, the New Edison scored a complete
and convincing triumph.
Cecil Arden, the famous contrato, sang i'll direct comparison
with the RECREATION of her voice by the New Edison. 70
every ear there was no difference between her living voice and
her R~E-CREATED VOICE.
This is the most drastic monograph test known. No other
photograph has ever sustained it. No other monograph has
even attempted it.
The New Edison's marvellous performance OF Thursday vim
dictates everything that has been said or claimed for It's perfect
realism.
Cecil Arden stood on the stage next to a shapely Chippen-
dale cabinet. She began to sing. Her golden notes scared over
the Auditorium, bringing all under its magic spell.
Halfway through her song, she suddenly stopped singing.
