Mr.. Edison's love Of music has
made the phonograph his favorite
invention He spent over three
million dollars in research work to
perfect the New Edison.
Then, to prove its perfect real
ism, he stood the New Edison side
by side with the living artist and
matched its performance with the
actual performance of the living
artist. No one was able to detect
any difference between the two.
This is the only true way to prove
the realism of a phonograph or
talking machine - and the New
Edison is the only phonograph

Widespread interest in the applica-
zion of the new postal convention be-
tween Spain and the United states
and six other republics in the west
ern hemisphere is being shown by
American business men.
It's full significance in the way OF
stimulating trade. correspondence ana
the interchange of periodical litera-
ture between the countries involved
is not properly appreciated by the
public, Otto Praeger, second assistant
postmaster general. said yesterday
Mr.. Praeger headed the American
delegation to the convention OF tne
Universal Postal Union IN Madriu
last November, where the Latin
American republics. with Spain ana
the United States, refused to follow
the lead of other European countries
in doubling existing foreign ana 40

Praeger said Great newspapers can

the signatory countries al domestic
rates, while books and commercial
samples may flow back and forth ne
tween the United States and South
America or Spain with the same facil-
ity. and at the same cost, as between
New York and Philadelphia. The ad-

rangement with the United States has
already become effective. all other
countries in the western hemisphere

fed the pact.
Matter Must Be Fully Prepaid.
A feature of the agreement which is
Of highest Importance. according to
Department of Commerce officials
and which will serve TO make Ameri-
can circular advertising matter much
more acceptable to Central and South
Americans. is that it will now be i'm
possible to send mail matter insufh-
ciently stamped. This practice. they
say. caused thousands of protests to
be sent to the department by Latin
American commercial bodies Such
deficiencies were collected. with the
addition Of 100 per cent. from the ad-
dressee.
Under the new treaty a one-cent
stamp will carry a post card to an ad-
dreSSee in any of the member coun-
tries, while the maximum weight linn
IT for newspapers and other printed
matter will be eight pounds and
twelve ounces. making it possible to
send the bulkiest of Sunday papers
through the mail. Books weighing
eleven pounds may be carried.
In return for concessions on the
part of Latin American countries
through which they increased maxi
mum weight limits for mail matter,
the United States agreed to transport
free of charge through it's territory
mails received from any of the other
countries destined for a third. BY
means Of this agreement the United
States will undertake to accept mail
delivered in any American port and
forward it free to the Philippine Is
lands or to Spain.

FINDS IRISH CHILDREN
SUFFERING FOR RELIEF
American Workers Gable D. C.
School Pupils Underfed and
IMPOVERISHED.

LEX of food is causing many cases
of severe privation and malnutrition
in ireland. according % cable sent
yesterday from Ireland by unit
of American workers there to the
American committee for relief in Ire
land, with headquarters in Washing
ton.
Charitable organizations in Dublin
are unable to provide the necessary
relief through lack Of funds. the
cable says.
The cable follows: "Old established
and worthy charitable organizations
in Dublin are anxious that YOU help
relieve local inability properly to
feed school children. of whom thous-
andS in this city are now SubSiSting
on scanty rations of bread and cocoa
only. Last year $500 children were
dependent on school rationS. Owing
to - stoppage of payments for this
work under the crown grants; the cor
poration (board of alderman) of the
city of Dublin exhausted it's funds
for such work months ago, and now
only 1900 children are being fed, and
these all through local charity.
Pending further investigation we
recommend the sending of 10000
which will keep alive 5000 children
for two weeks.
"AS an example of ditions, at
st. Brigids School we found 500
children, out of a total attendance of
$50, in need of a midday meal. as they
got little else at home. The majority
of these children, as well as those in
other large schools. come from
Wretched tenement homes. where the
whole family lives in one room. AL
most a third of the families in Dub
/ lin live in one room tenements. and
in numerous cases all furniture but beds
and table has been sold to buy food.
"Laborers average less than SO
weekly in wages, and mary have
been out of work for over two months.
They and their families are clad in
rags. and their principal diet is bread
and tea.
"At the schools we visited many
children were clearly undernourished
and there were pitiful cases of rick
lack of funds for medical inspection
of schools. little girls come carrying
baby sisters and brothers, with faces
blotched with sores.
"At one school fifty ragged girls,
aged from three to eight years, re-
cited the Lords Prayer in unison
Give US this day our daily bread"
Two of them, with whom we talked.
told us that the only food they had
on the previous day, was slice Of
bread and a cup of cocoa provided at
the school. Nothing could give the
mothers of America a more vivid idea
of the distress now observable in
the Irish cities than what we have
seen in Dublin.
Throughout Ireland. it is estf-
mated that there are 10000 men un-
employed"

THE TRAVELLER.

Farmer Greens garden was growing fast. The sweet corn waved and rustled whenever n breeze swept it. The beets and carrots sent their pert tops a little higher each day. The cabbages began to puff their heads out as if they felt of some impor- tance in the world. And the potato vines were actually pretty, with their white blossoms amid the green leaves. Farmer Green was very proud of his potatoes. He said. in Mrs. Ladybug's hearing, that they were the best he had ever raised.
 "I must fly over to the garden and have look at those potatoes" Mrs. Iadybug thought Its always a pleas ure to sec hourishing crops"
 Before she found time to spare for her visit to the garden a traveller en- tered the orchard one day. At least. he had every appearance of having come from other parts. For he car riod q travelling bag-an old-fashioned carpetbaR-and he seemed to have lost his way.
 As soon as Mrs. Ladybug saw him she couldn't help thinking what a handsome person he was. He wore a yellow coat. And instead of being spotted with black. as her gown was. it was striped.

 And the potato patch-I suppose I'll have no trouble finding that?" the stranger went on.
 Follow your nose" said Mrs. Ladybug. You're headed right for it now.'
 Te stranger thanked her. And he was about to move on. But of course Mrs. Ladybug wanted to talk more than that before he got away.
 The potatoes are fine this season. she remarked.
 The stranger looked greatly pleased.
 That's good news" he told her. Have you seen them yourself?"
 Not yet" Mrs. Ladybug answered. But I heard Farmer Green say that they were fine. And he ought to know if anybody does"
 He certainly ought" tho stranger agreed. Then, thanking Mrs. Lady bug once more. he hurried toward the garden.
 "One moment" she called. There were several questions that she want ed to ask the newcomer. She was wildly curious to know who he was and where he came from and what business had brought him to Pleasant Valley.
 But he couldn't have heard her Anyhow. he was out of sight in no time, leaving Mrs. Ladybug almost bursting with the questions that had sprung to her lips.
 He might have waited a second. .' she muttered. But if he had travelled a long way no doubt he's eLger to get to his journeys end" Luckily Mrs. Ladybug had kept her eyes open when talking with the gen tleman in the striped yellow coat.

HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of

furniture is a fetich. But I reflected that Katie did know my tastes and the previous arrangement of the furniture. and that could make minor changes afterward, and my decision was quick.
 What Madge Feared.
 That will be wonderful. Katie. DO you suppose you can have everything ready for Mir. Graham's home com ing tomorrow night? He wrote me that he thought he would be here then"

 wisely said no more, and left things in her capable bands. I was gIad indeed that I had .ione so, when, the next afternoon. upon going over to our new home, I found everything in perfect order. and saw that I needed to change the arrangement of very few things to make it con- form absolutely to my own notions. Long experience of Katie's moods however. made me defer any mention of changes until a later time. and to express unqualified approval of everything.
 Ou Ilnk we nave IlIntI HtIt AO- night eef Meester Graham comes ?" she queried hopefully, and I saw that she had set her heart upon a drama tic homecoming for Dicky.
 Well have dinner here tonight anyway" I decided quickly. whether Mir. Graham comes or not. He hasn't wired me. so I don't know whether io expect him or not"
 Dot means he coom." Katie said decidedly "I feeX beeg dinner. for maybe he bring somebody along. You nevaire tell vot Meester Graham do"
 "Oh. he won't bring anybody along out here .'' returned confidently. He doesn't know the house is ready. and he wouldn't bring any one to us over at the other place"
 Maybe not" Katie returned. but her tone was unbelieving. and as I went back to the Ticer farmhouse I caught myself speculating upon the possibility of her prediction being full filled. Dicky had been extremely vague in his letters as to what he was doing in the city. He had told me that Pennington had left the city after the conference, so business didn't keep him.
 AS always. when I began to specu- late upon Dicky in the city. the image of Edith Fairfax crept into my mind and stayed tSere so persistcntly that I was scarcely surprised when the honk of familiar motor horn brought me to the door, to behold the big car owned jointly by Dickv and Alfred Durkee. and to see stand ing out from the other laughing. merry face. the delicate, beautiful ft nturea Of the girl who had obsessed my mind for the last hour.
