In ‘fact there are only four prin- cesses of suitable age left in Europe. They’ are the Italian Princesses Yolanda and Mafalda, Marie of Rumania and Margaret of #)enmark. The Italian candidates are Catholics, perhaps not an insuperable obstacle, “but anyway the Italian throne is nqt regarded as’ too stable just now, a consideration which will weigh very heavily when the final decision is taken by the powers that arrange royal marriages. The Danish Prin- cess Margaret is a prime favorite of Queen-Mother Alexandria’s, but there is no indication that the Prince has any views in that direction, while the exponents of high policy cannot see any advantage to Hritain in an alliance with poor little bankrupt Rumania, Were King Albert’s daughter five or six years older, high policy would doubtless win and an Anglo-Belgian alliance consummated, but little Prin- cess Marie is only fourteen, and a Prince of Wales cannot wait for her to grow up.

N During/.the war, Mr. Edison spent most of his time on the sea coast or at sea. On those.rare occasions, when he visited the Edison Laboratories, it was difficult to gain his attention, for rhore than a_few minutes, with reference to business matters. HeH did, however, state that the Edison Phonograph was his pet invention and he hoped that hfs business associates would- be able, in some way or other, to avoid any increase in price, and that, if there must be an increase, he wanted such increase to be just as small as it could possibly be made. Mr. Edison said: “I am willing" to stand the gaff. Music is an important thing. Let us make it as easy as possible for people to havg music in their homes in these nerve-racking days.” What was the result? The wonderful real- ism of the New Edison, “The Phonograph = with a Soul,” made it desiréd above ail other § ~_phonographs, and its sale was stimulated by = the fact that the increase in price was negli- s The démand soon far out-stripped the & § - H g vizited for several weeks with her son and wife.

Three-quarters of these would be automatically ruled out through lack of fortune, personal looks or on account of ‘“entangle- ments,” divorces, ete., of their par- ents or near relations, for no scandal must be raked up against the future Queen of England, nor can “dubious” relatives be tolerated. Advocates of Anglo-American friendship are rooting for an Amer- jcan bride, and the Prince has doubt- less seen plenty of suitable candi- 5 per cent tax, which the Edison Laboratories pay to the Government. The Edison Phonograph of today is a bet- ter fihonograph and a better value than the Edison Phonograph of 1914. On the other hand, the dollar of today is worth, in pur- chasing power, only a little more than half f as" much as the dollar of 1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison Phonograph at this time, you are virtually buying a before-the- war value, with an after-the-war dollar. Why was it thai Edison did not increase his prices and hov7 did he avoid the necessity of doing so? Any commercial agency and practically any investment banker can ascer- tain for you that the Edison Phonograph Laboratories were doing business, in 1914, on a narrower margin of profit than was true of any of the other gstablished phonograph, or -talking machine, manufacturers. How, then, did Edison manage to avoid an increase in his selling prices? - The. story is dramatically interesting. The following is only the essence of it: When the United States of America en- tered the Great War, Mr. Edison dropped 11l his work at the Edison Laboratories and enlisted in the army of American men of science, who pitted themselves so successfully against the world-famed German scientists. recent visit to Pl von s TP M B B WANTED—Wood sawing, Also have wood for sale.

The supply. Overhead and sales expense were're- duced to the minimum and, thanks to Mr. Edison’s willingness to absorb a large share of the increased cost of manufacture, it was possible {for the Edison Laboratories, by ac-. cepting a merely nominal profit, to avoid any substantial increase in the selling price of the Edison Phonograph. It' will sbe many years before the general level of commodity prices is as low as the present price of the Edison Phonograph. Leading bankers‘ have expressed themselves as willing to lend money on Edison Phono- graphs, because they k;mw the selling prices of Edison Phonographs are not going to be reduced. Let us reiterate that when you buy an Edison Phonograph today you buy a before- the-war value with an after-the-war dollar. If you have any fear that there may be a. reduction in the prices' of Edison Phono- graphs, we are prepared to give you full assm',ance on that point.

In this article, the New York American states that Mr. Edison 'appears to have been the moving spirit of the” Naval Consulting Board of the United Spates. ¥ When Mr. Edison gave up his own busi- ness for the business of the Nation, a very eritical situation” existed in his Manufactur- ing Laboratories, due to their inabilty to obtain varlous materials, and the necessity of finding satisfactory substitutes for such _materials. If there was ever a time in Mr. ““Edison’s career, when his personal atfention to his busiress was required, it was when he went to war. Thomas A.
