WANTS LUSITANIA DELAY.
German Paper Voices Suspicion ol
 Salvage Operation.

Berlin, July 19.-(By Associated Press )-Comment on a report that American salvage steamer Blakeley is engaged in raising the treasure chest of the Lusitania, the Tagliche Rundschau asks why this operation cannot wait until the entire ship is brought up shortly, and also why nitroglycArine Is to be used in the op- eration when the Lusitania could oth- erwise soon be raised intact, except for the damage which she sustained when she was sunk.
 The newspaper says that the quick sinking of the Lusitania, which made the rescue of passengers impossible, was due to a number of explosions among the munitions aboard, rather than to the torpedo of submarine, which at best would have caused only two compartments in the forepart of the ship to fill with water.
 It remained to be seen, the Tag liche Runschau continues, whether the German government, in view of the to Germany of the evil tence gathered from the investigs- ton. takes the proper steps to be rep resented at the raising of the liner or stands idly by through fear of the It suggests that the Blakeley nay be intended to remove documents from the Lusltania which would be 'weighty as evidence"

Edison Believes His Invention Will Not Be Replaced By Latest
 Fad

West Orange, N. J., July 19.-"It's what is ahead that interests me, not the past" Thomas A. Edison, now 75 years old. said yesterday on the 18th anniversary of his invention of the photograph
 Mir Edison, dressed in a new light suit and apparently in the best of health, was seated at his desk in the laboratory rapidly calculating a group of figures when interrupted by news paper men. In his first few minutes of conversation MT. Edison added an- other to his already extensive list of eplgrams: All things come to him who hustles while he waits"
 No" said Mir. Edison in reply to a question, T don't think the radio will ever replace the photograph. I worked on the radio after the war, using the apparatus we had on our submarines, but found when tried it for recording there was too much mutiliation of sounds, which Is rather difficult to overcome.
 T believe I have the phonograph close to perfection" Mir. Edison con- tlnued. The piano can now be per- fectly reproduced. I am trying now to achieve reproduction of Beethov- ems Ninth symphony, played by 75 l can't say when I shall be able to accomplish it. but I think can."
 In speaking of the original model of the photograph, now in South Ken Slngton museum, London MT. Edison said: Nobody around here seemed in- terested in it, and the museum want ad some things. I also gave them the original of the first incandescent fight l am not interested in old models. l suppose it is because they .ake so much time and trouble to make them right that I lose the sen- imental interest It's what is ahead 1 hat interests me, not the past"

Guard Your Beach Complexion This Season. Science Provides Means
By Marian Hale

Attend to you beach makeup and your ballroom complexion will take care of itself.
 That's how the modern summer girl figures 1t out.
 The old way of introducing your face, neck and shoulders to the sun, unprotected, and expecting the sun to do the honorable thing, now Is dis credited
 Now the girls at the beaches take as good care of their skins as their grandmothers who used to swathe themselves in wells.
 They can put on bathing suits of pale pink or blue satin. trimmed in lace. roses or fringes, and look en- chantingly pink and white.
 Their real complexion is hidden un- der a coating of cosmetics.
 The cosmetics are 8 means, not an end. They make coating that keeps off the suns ravages as effectively as wells or parasols.
 apparent and they make the wearers look like so many dolls, but the eve ning tells the tale.
 The makeup stays on even in the water Waterproof rouge. powder and eyebrow trimmings stick until soap is administered.
 Beauty specialists now say 1t Is im- perative to preserve the complexion, that the sunburn and tan dry the oils from the skin and bring on wrinkles and signs of old age.
 Many shops now put up regular va cation beauty kits, a special assort- ment for the girl who Is to spend her vacation at the beach, and others for the girl who will be motoring or in the mountains.
 The important features are a cleans ing cream. which removes all the traces of soil and grime, a foundation cream upon which to put the heavy coating of powder, an eyewash to re- lieve the burning and irritation that comes from bright light reflected on water, and soothing lotions and astrin- gents.
 Also specialists recommend some sort of head covering that will pro- tect the hair which becomes faded by the sun.
 rdsHicn experts are cooperating with beauty doctors. They are mak- ing most attractive bathing togs, with much more covering than formerly, equipped with capes to protect the shoulders and arms.
 The most charming of these are effective only on well groomed women because they come in delicate colors.
 So your summer duty to your com- plexion is plain.

Council Will Receive Recommenda- ton Tonight-8O Telephones Are
 Now Charged to City

Between 25 and 30 city employes and officials who now have telephones in their homes at the city's expense, will probably lose that service as a result of agitation started by the com mittee on supplies and printing and seconded by Mayor A. M. Paonessa. The matter will be brought before the council tonight with the recom- mendation that it be referred to a committee.
 Mayor Paonessa has expressed him. self as of the opinion that about one third of the present number who have that service could be deprived of it without loss to the city. There are 80 phones charged to the city.
 In addition to regular charges, there are many bills for toll calls re- ceived each month by the supplies and printing committee.
