A "Fellowship Social" was held last evening by the congregation of the First M. E. church at, the church parlors In Russell street. Thre were talks by Dr. DeBra of Gary. "W. C. B'lman and M. M.

In Its estimates for the next fiscal year, as submitted to Congress and now rending before the House P. O. Committee, the Post Ol'f-ce Department makes no provision for continuing the existing fiscal-year wage standards. All its -estimates are based on the old classification an entrance wage of JS0O and n maximum of J 1,200 for clerks and city carriers. If finally enacted in this

j shape, it means a decrease of millions

of dollars in the aggregate wages of all the service workers. In his testimony before the committee, First Assistant Postmaster General Koons, voicing the views of the department said: "Should it be the desire of Congress to increase these salaries it should be done for the next fiscal year only. No permanent readjustments should be made In these abnormal times." A further suspension of the old automatic promotion law and the continuance for another year, if necessary, of the existing wages is seemingly the department's idea. Rep. Madden read to Mr. Koons an advestisemcnt issued by the Detroit postmaster in which prospective employes were promised an entrance wage of $1.00') and automatic promotions to $1,500. Mr. Koons said the department did not authorize the ad. Mr. Koons earnestly urged a revision of postal salaries under the direction of a competent committee. He though? some employes were overpaid and others underpaid and these inequalities could be straightened out only by a thorough systematic study of the entire subject.

Dee. 7 Resolutions passed by the Indiana Counry Cornriiisslont rs' Ar-rocifttion at the final session of its annual meeting Iwvn Thursday afternoon included a recommendation that r.o change be tnadc in the j-tate three-mile rood law. Supplementary lrgislation by the legislature was favored, however, to establish a county unit plan. Under this plan county commissioners would havn authority to isfue road bonds to build roads in any part of a county. The Marion county eommiss'.oners explained that t. countyuni would enable them to solve such a problem as building roads from Indianapolis to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, where therehas been difficulty because one of the townships was so near the dbt limit that it could not issue bonds. Other commissioners said the county unit plan would enable them to build roads in poor, outlying townships and would make taxation on city property available for roads in townships. . Officers elected for the coming year by the organization follow: Joseph G. Hayes, Indianapolis, president; A. 11. rollentzskf, Valparaiso, vice-president; U. S. Hauck.

Of course tou have, but perhaps you did not know they" were "Big Bens." They are usually housed in exquisite cabinets. They are simply gorgeous in appearance. Many a cabinet designer has worked overtime to make a "Louis De Luxe" cabinet. These "Big Ben" talking machines possess ten thousand salesmen's talking points except TONE. When you are shopping in search of a phonographtake time to look carefully into the hundreds of "Big Ben" talking machines. What is a "Big Ben" Phonograph? Did you ever look into an alarm clock and see tho number of cog wheels 1 "Big Ben" phonographs have just such'a motor. A clock-work, cog wheel motor. Such a motor is all right in a clock but not in a phonograph. A clock is a slow-going piece of machinery. A phonograph motor must move many times faster it also wears more quickly. "Big Ben" motors are made by concerns who never made a nlionncrrnnli nr Irnnw not.hirf fibont tho flemm-

tic principles of sound. All "Big Ben" phonographs are assembled. The motor is made in New York; the cabinet by a furniture factory in Battle Creek; the tone arm and sound box in Boston, and the balance somewhere in France., The parts were not made for each other. It is all stock material. This Man Worked 35 Years to Give You Hie New ReCrealion Edison Phonograph Thomas Edison is the father of the phonograph and he is living today to see his invention the only one of its class in the world. The Motor of the New Edison is worm driven no c.og wheels to rattle and will last a lifetime. The diamond disc records are not played by the use of a needle dragging the tone arm across tlie record it has a worm driven device leaving the diamond free to oscillate, producing a tone the re-creation tone which is so much human that experts are deceived. You could place the mechanism of the New Edison He-creation Diamond Disc Phonograph in a dry goods box and still have a finer phonograph than if you owned the best "Big Ben" talking machine ever placed into a "Louis 'De Luxe" cabinet in tone and mechanism.
