Edison drew his first rough sketch of a clumsy music box equipped with a metal horn. The drawing with its scribbled instruction to a workman “Kruesi, make this" represented the actual birth of the phonograph, which today representatives of the Edison plants from all over the United States are gathering to celebrate. “I don't think the radio will ever replace the phonograph,” said Edison, in commenting upon his invention. "It mutilates the music.” Edison had nothing to predict as to future developments of the phonograph. He-believes he v aa it close to perfection.

In-Var Quickly Proves Plan of Literary Studio Popular

Up on the north side, in Indianapolis’s Greenwich Village (five studios make a village), stands a mid-Vic-torian brick building, whose "trade” front and upper windows give no hint |of the artistic colonial interior. The pleasant surprise comes almost as a shock as you step oft the side porch designated as No. 4191a, into a lower, then an upper hall, and finally into apartment No. 3, occupied by Margaret Scott, the writer. Here less than a year ago she opened the town's first literary studio, In-Var. the name beinjj an abbreviation of Shakespear’s "infinite variety”—a phrase sufficiently broad to include her varied free lance writing as well as designing. "I got this studio idea in New Tork,” ’ Miss Scott explained. “My

By ZOE BUCKLEY (Continued.) * “Your sedate parents,” asked Bobhy blandly, "not be.ng at this refreshment counter, what now, Winnie and Peg?” “Sister Winnie moves that we telephone our mammas,” laughed Peg, “and go straight to our little beds.” Poor Winnie, strong as was her sense of duty, had a wholesome hate of being called a fire-extinguisher, a crape-hanger, a wurp and a dud. Either she must give up and leave Peggy to her own wild mood or stick and trust Bobby to take them home without Turther entreaty. She said no more. "Well, since Winnie hasn’t made any motion" —Bobby was trying to smooth the situation—"l'll move we give our camel a drink and hit it for home.

Illinois Central System’s Appreciation of Its Faithful Employes The pension department of the Illinois Central System, which has been in operation twenty-one years, is a 6trong factor iu promoting the allegiance of employes. The Illinois Central System was the third railroad in the country to establish a pension system for its employes, and up to date it has paid out to pensioners a total of $2;456,000.00. Since the adoption of the pension system 1,499 employes have been retired on pension. Under the pension system as operated by the Illinois Central System, each year of service by an employe serves in the manner as the payment of a premium on an endowment insurance policy. The main difference is that there is no charge whatever against the employe. The pension system is financed entirely by the railroad. The amount of the pension awarded depends upon the length of service and the average pay. For each year of continuous service the pensioner is allowed 1 per cent of the average monthly pay received during the last ten years of his active service. Thus, an employe with thirty years of service to his credit who had received an average of $l5O a month during the last ten years would, upon retiring, receive 30 per cent of $l5O, or $45, a'month during the remainder of his life; with forty years of service he would receive S6O a month, and witlv fifty years of service he would receive $75 a month. An employe with thirty years of service to his credit who had received an average of S2OO a month during the last ten years would, upon retiring, receive 30 per cent of S2OO, or S6O, a month during the remainder of his life; with forty years of service he would receive SBO a month, and with fifty years of service he* would receive SIOO a month. An employe with thirty years of service to his credit who had received an average of $250 a month during the last ten years would, upon retiring, receive 30 per cent of $250, or $75, a month during the remainder of his life; with forty years of service he would receive SIOO a month, and with fifty years of service he would receive $125 a month. The minimum pension is $25 a month, and any employe entitled to less than that under the computation as outlined above receives the minimum. An employe does not have to live to be any certain age in order to obtain the benefits of the pension system, if he becomes incapacitated for work. In some cases employes who have not been in the service more than fifteeh years, regardless of their age, have been pensioned. The rule is that any employe who becomes incapacitated after twenty-five years of service is entitled to be pensioned. In addition to the foregoing, the pensioned employes of the Illinois Central System receive other considerations which attest the esteem in which they are held by the railroad, among them annual passes for themselves and their wives over the lines of the entire Illinois Central System. That the interest of the pensioned employes and their loyalty to the company can be counted upon ha3 been evidenced many times by their readiness to return to active service and render such assistance as they can in times of emergency. The board of pensions, which administers the department, is composed of officers who themselves have been in the service of the railroad many years. The service records of the board members range from eighteen to forty-six years. A We believe that the employes of the Illinois Central System as a body are as efficient and as loyal as any large body of employes in the service of any other railroad or any other large industry. They are invaluable to our railway system and our patrons, and we believe that our patrons have that same high appreciation of their fidelity and loyalty and efficiency that we have. , Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.
