The mind, unless spurred to action, is li able to be listless and inactive in a I way to take things as they come, rather than io make much effort; to compel results. Later interpreters of the day describe it as restless yet ■working as if in a dream. There is power if the mind can be awakened. ANSWERS TO~ TEN QUESTIONS Set Hnrk Pag t 1. Switzerland. 2.

ONCE UPON NOV. 8 Fifty years ago today, Emile Ber liner, 36-year-old immigrant from Ger many, was granted a patent upon the gramophone. While not the first talk ing-machine, it did introduce the later al cut, disc phonograph record now in universal use. It was nearly 10 years, however, be fore the invention brought him any re turn. Then he happened to take his device to a small machine-shop in Camden, N. J., owned by Eldridge R. Johnson, for repairs. In making them. Johnson grasped the great pos sibilities of the talking-machine, and persuaded Berlinger to allow him to manufacture and distribute duplicates. That was the beginning of the Vic tor Talking Machine Co., and the $50,- 000,000 fortune of Eldridge R. Johnson. The idea of the phonograph was just 10 years old when Berlinger got his patent on the disc record. Thomas A. Edison had stumbled on it while trying to devise a repeater for a tele graph circuit. Almost simultaneously, Alexander Graham Bell, Chichester A. Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter, went to work on a similar device and they anticipated Edison in the use of wax-covered cylinder records. The /irst record of the Bell cousins and Tainter (who lives now in San Diego, Cal.,) is still extant, and under standable. It bears a quotation from Shakespeare's Hamlet, bespoken by A. G. Bell: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy!.” First thing to be recorded by Edi- What Do You Know About North Carolina? By FKED H. MAY 1.

Cadorna could not, of course, survive the Cap oretta disaster: he was succeeded by Gen. Armando Diaz, 56, who had won distinction as division and corps com mander in the Corso campaign. With the Italian army in full retreat, and ready that day to give up the Piave line, he came to supreme command at the worst possible moment for any one except a man of the greatest cour age and ability. That was what Diaz was to prove himself, despite the fact that French and British general staffs helped make the situation more diffi cult for him by failing to place their forces in Italy under his command for some time thereafter. On this date, however, there was promise of closer cooperation between the discordant Allies. It was agreed to establish a supreme war council with representatives of each govern ment. yprkga James AsselJ i———® ——-j New York, Nov. 8. —Interview With a Deer Hunter, Manhattan Style:. Q. Well, the season is on. I suppose you will be off hunting in a few days. A. I’ll say. We are organizing an expedition and will take off for up state within a week. We want to get in on the first week of hunting if possible. Q. You’ll serve venison steak, for weeks, I take it, after your return. A. Oh, no. I hate venison. So does my wife. As a matter of fact, nobody in the party really eats venison. We give it away. Q. You kill the deer for the sport? A. Absolutely. It’s the greatest lit tle sport in the world. I want to show you my new gun —two of them, in fact. The .30-.30 automatic is a honey. I can throw lead out of that faster than you can spray a throat. Q. I always thought deer were rather pleasant and harmless ani mals, pretty to see in the woods. Won’t it be sort of a shame after you fellows have killed them all? A. Oh, so you’re one of those sen timentalists, are you? You’re one of those guys who’ll be telling me next how the deer looked at you, with those great, big, liquid eyes and you just couldn’t shoot it. That’s old woman stuff. Q. What about bird-hunting? It seems to me that the target is a lit tle smaller in the case of a quail, for instance, and might offer more sport just becailse it’s harder to hit. A. Quail! That’s no sport. When you hit a deer you’ve got something. What’s a quail? A mere handful. Be sides, if you hunt every day for a week you’re pretty sure to get one deer, while you may hunt and hunt arid never flush a cover of quail. I. mean you’re sure to get one doer if you do it l ight, with a couple of guides and the right kind of guns and in the . ight country. Q. Do you have to go far from Man hattan? A. Forty or fi"ty miles. But it’s getting to be a nuisance, the way peo ple are building houses and settling up the deer country. Some spoil sports post their property and won’t coop erate at all. You know the type—tho typical economic royalist that thinks private property is sacred or some thing. Q. But isn’t it, perhap3, a little in convenient to have guns going off at all hours around the house? A. Only a selfish people. True sportsmen hear a shot and think only of the hunter, hoping he was lucky enough to make a clean hit. Q. I sec. Only softies think of the ,* A. Righto. Why, last year. I had an experience 'hat made me sick. Some old lady up in the mountains, refused me a drink of water when I knocked at her door dragging a young seventy ncurd buck. She said she had come to know that dear little deer and look ed up me as a murderer. Can you ima rlnc? I told her the eason was only HOW HAVE? ~ «NTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION. IWf two weeks and wanted to know if that wasn’t short enough even for sentimentalists. , Q. Wlhat did she say to that? You had her there, didn’t you? A. Sure, I had her. She knew it, too. So she had to get insulting to cover up. She said if the deer had come up to her door dragging me she’d have given it a drink of water. Can you imagine anything so feeble?
