THE FIRST PHONOGRAPH In @ letter written a few years before his'death, Thomas A. Edison said: “I con- lceived the idea of recording and reproduc- ,ing human speech and other sounds on | July 18,1877.” Mr. Edison went on to say ‘that he ‘worked on his first model of the first phonograph during the following two months and that “this first model was en- ‘tirely successful.” He also declared that this model comprised all the basic prin- ciples of modern phonographs and talking machines, Many will remember the early phono- .graph records made on wax cylinders. These were greatly inferior to the later dise records, besides they were very fragile and short-lived. Still the principles used in recording and reproducing the sounds were the same as those employed up to the The’ world owes much of its enjoy- ment and instruction to the idea: born in _Edison’s fertile brain more than 56 years aig | fio; 4 tt is: gratifying that he was permit- ted’ to enjoy a long life in which to de- velop and, witness the universal employ-| “ment of” this’ and. other epoch-making in- nemenrens which he- gave to mosikind. " FOOLISH WASTE OF LIFE ; \We point with pride to the fact that nearly 26,000,000 motor ‘cars-are in use in the United States; and it is» something of which‘the country may be pfoud. But the further fact that these cars are now killing people at the rate of.30,000.a year and in- juring 800,000 more, is almost a national disgrace. The amazing thing is that. most ayto- mobile accidents might be prevented by taking ordinary precautions: Obviously there are only two principal. causes of ac- cidents—careless driving and. defective! car equipment. Even the most. careful driver is helpless when his car fails to func- tion in an emergency. It seems almost impossible to drill} common sense into a reckléasdriver’s head, but it would be perfectly easy to avoid most mechanical breakdowns by frequent inspections. Pennsylvania and several other states are’ getting excellent results by the en- forcement of compulsory automobiles in. | spection laws, and’ motorists’ associations | ed Daughters of The Confederacy! their members to have fre- | ° ‘are urging quent inspections made volintarily. Any means whereby the present foolish waste of life may be reduced is worthy of consideration andjsupport.
