back; then Duchemin turned and gave chase to the fugitive.
 This was the masquerader in the American uniform; and an amazingly fleet pair of heels he showed, taking into account his heaviness of body. Duchemin saw him swerve from his first course and steer for vehicle standing at some distance-evidently the conveyance which had brought the sightseers to view the spectacle of MontpellierleN Nieux by moonlight
 Waiting in the middle of a broad avenue of misshapen obelisks, a di- lapidated barouche on either side, its pole dropped two sorry specimens of crowbait And their pained amaze ment was so unfeigned that Duchemin laughed aloud when the fat rogue bounded to the box, snatched up reins and whip and curled a cruel lash round their bony Hanks.

THE RADIO SLUMP

Crape-hangers are predicting that the radio craze is
booked to fzzle out. They are wrong.
Unquestionably, interest in radio is going through a de-
cided slump. 1t S a natural reaction. The novelty is wearing
off. Radio is becoming commonplace. Only a few months
ago it was as great a marvel as the arrival of a man from
Mars.
Interest in the airplane has had much the same reaction.
In communities where planes are uncommon, people still look
overhead when they hear the hum OF the steel locusts. But
they do not look with the speed that formerly threatened to
dislocate the neck.
Nevertheless, the airplane is forging ahead rapidly. 1t
will be the same with radio.
Manufacturers of radio equipment think that the slump
in wireless enthusiasm is due to summer Their theory is that
people vast to be outdoors now in the evenings as much as
possible.
In autumn, the manufacturers predict, radio will come
back stronger than ever.
If the trade is wise, it will triple its efforts to provide
novelty and "class'' in the b~roadcasted music.
Inventive genius, too, much be intensified on improving
radio apparatus, especially for eliminating static.
An old hand-bll comes tc light in the east, advertising one
of the early telephone demonstrations at the city hall in Law
renee, Mass, May 2S, 1877. The hand-bill reads:
'The miracle telephone! Wonderful discovery of the age!
Professor A. Graham Bell, assisted by Mr.. Frederick A. Grow
er. will give an exhibition of his wonderful and miraculous
discovery. The telephone, before the people of Lawrence,
when Boston and Lawrence will be connected via the West
en Union Telegraph, and vocal and instrumental music and
conversation will be transmitted a distance of 81 miles and re-
ceived by the audience in the city hall. Prof. Bell will give an
explanatory lecture with this marvellous exhibition"
There's a curious coincidence between vocal and lnstru-
mental music and conversation over a telephone wire in
1877, and similar service by radio in 1922.
The telephone. considered a marvel, swept popular fancy
overnight. Then it had a slump. People began to call it "
scientific toy" Many Of them predicted that the telephone
craze would die out quickly, just as similar predictions are
being made now about radio.
But the telephone hasn't died out. Neither will radio.
It is as much in it's infancy as Bells phone was in 1877. And
its future is as promising.

DON'T BLAME THE HEN

AT this season of the year, when fresh eggs are hard to
gel, we are quite willing to admit the Importance of the
faithful hen and the high place on which she perches in our
esteem. But we are doubtful if she is in her proper place
when riding as a passenger on a bus. Other passengers,
hen shows her readiness to make herself completely at
home. 1t is said that some of these other passengers, not
%feathered, have even shown anger when their dresses have
been soiled by the travelling fowls, and the floor of the bus
made to resemble a barnyard!
While it is doubtless impossible for the buses to
avoid becoming crowded on market days with so many
housewives and their bullying bags homeward bound, it is
certainly within the rights Of passengers and of bus drivers
to insist that no marketer ccr"ying live stock shall be adj
mitted to a bus.

Another difference between the
theatrical stage and the shop win

Flowers used for window decoration
are usually silk where for theatrical
purposes cheaper and more dura-

Properties for Show Windows
Special firms make properties for

In other words the windows that

course, a striking blouse OF the

shopper inside and an immediate

AND LIQUOR

The retiring president of the American Pharmaceutical
Association recommends that the federal government or the
state governments take over the dispensaton OF WHISKY on
physicians prescription. He explains that the present slula-
ton puts his profession in a bad light and is distastetul to
the big majority of honorable druggists.
Most of the drug stores outside of the big cities do not
handle liquor at all. The retail druggists as a body, he says,
have no sympathy with the great increase of new drug stores
opening up and taking out licenses to dispense liquor. II
whisky prescriptions are to be filled by druggists, they want
the national prohibition commissioner to refuse licenses to
drug stores that have not been in business long enough TO
eyade the suspicion that they are interested primarily in the
liquor business.
Here is a problem that can best be solved, no doubt, by
the druggists themselves, and apparently they are going to
solve it. Their position on the liquor question should silence
critics. who, because of the fraudulent traffic in liquor car
ried on by some druggists, have stigmatzed the entire pro-
fession. From all accounts, druggists as a whole would be
as glad to be rid of whisky altogether as the public would.

mummy and these were usually

rect evolution Of the machine which
Elisha G. Otis. exhibited in 1853 in

Hosts of various kinds had been
used before that time, but this was
the first elevator wherein provision
was made for stopping the fall of

FEDERAL INTEREST in HIGHWAY BRIDGE

It is quite natural that the federal government should
show some interest in the new Amboy bridge. 1t is fitting
that this interest should be manifested through Congress
man Appleby in whose district the bridge is to be built.
The public has come to look upon the construction OF
this bridge as something that is entirely in the hands of the
State Highway Commission and which is to be paid for out
Of state funds. The State Highway Commission has been
rather inclined to encourage this belief. AS a matter OF
fact, the state is going to pay only half OF the cost OF the
bridge, the other half being paid by the federal government
Thus. if the bridge is to cost So, 900, 900, as now seems
probable, the state will put up $l 100000 while the other
81. 500 900 will come from Washington. 1t is we'll to keep
Hfact in mind when figuring up the amount of money the
late Highway Commission will have TO spend on prlaees
during the next year or two.
Because the federal government is going to pay hall
the cost of the bridge Congressman Appleby is interested 10
see that the very best type of bridge is constructed. Atten-
lion has been called to the kind of draw to be installed. The
State Highway Commission is planning for a SWING draw
whereas Mr.. Appleby has reason to believe that a lht ara"
would not only be much cheaper, but could be operated
more auickly. which is highly desirable. At least, this mat
ter is to be taken up by the federal government and a hear
ing will probably be held on this particular subject.
Mr.. Applebv deserves credit for the interest he is show
ing in this matter. The importance of this bridge is recog-
nized. 1t is even more than a state bridge. Hundreds OF
tourists from all parts of the country use it every year. 1t
MIGHT be said that there are almost as many New York cars
crossing it as there are cars from New Jersey.
incidentally, it would be interesting to know why there
l. SO much delay in starting work on the structure. A whole
summer has been fuddled away by the State Highway Com
mission as far as this particular project is concerned. What
is holding them up? AS far as is known the commission
has not even decided on the style of bridge to be built. 1t
is about. time to show some real activity. 1t will take three
wears at best to complete the new bridge after work Is start
cd and t is doubtful if the present bridge will last that long.
If there is a niger in the wood pile anywhere per-
hans the interest that the federal government is now show
inc in the construction of the new bridge will smoke him out
