This surplus grew steadily until 1912 and then it fell off until in 1915 there wag g deficit of $2,914,541.90. In an effort to {cover this deficit the Border kgvern- ment increased the postage rate in 1916 and in 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920 and 1921 there were surpluses, the | highest being in 1917, $4,601,805.81, | But the expenditure grew with She revenue and last year nearly wiped out the revenue, The total revenue last year was $26,2331,118.87 and the expenditure $24,661,262.26, leaving a balance of $1,669,859.71. This includes, of course, the war tax with- out which there would have been an enormous deficit, TALKING MOVIES NEXT ? Talking movies, a new invention | with enormous possibilities, have | just been successfuily demonstrated {dn Chicago. | trom the combination of phonograph | and movie film whicn has been tried The latest talking movia is an appli- | cation of the wirsless phone, The movie fs produced in the stu- dio, as usual. Then the films are sent to movie theatres, where wire- less phones and automatic moving picture machinés are synchronized-- thet is, the outfits in each theatre start at the same time and run at the same speed, regulated from the | movie studio. The actors, watching | the picture closely to "keep in step," speak their lines, just as on a stage. The radio carries the words for re- production in the movie theatres. Other sounds also are sent out to be heard by the movie audiences as breaking glass, pistol shots, whis- |tles. It is said osculation even be- | comes audible. | At the first try-out of this new in- vention, Frank Bacon, star of "Light- nin'," was the actor in the leading role. The inventor, Harry J. Powers, Jr., has kept his radio talking pic- | tures secret, pending patents, Short- |, however, they will be trial ont on the public. One often hears jt re- marked that some of the great actors lose part of their effectiveness on the i | | | | histortonic ability--vocal genius-- cannot be brought into play. A sue- cessful radio galking movie would overcome this objection, MOTOR BUS EXCURSIONS, Recently a bus excursion was run from Chicago to New Orleans. In this day a bus means a motor bus, of course. The fifty persoms who took advantage of this mode of tra- vel stopped at hotels along the route baving been made previously for ac- commodations. Naturally the party had to travel on a fixed schedule. It is reported that the eXcursion was a success. This instance suggests a new method of pleasure outing for thoe who do not maintain their own cars or prefer to go in a large com- pany. By a similar means of travel it would be entirely feasible for"a party to go anywhere there are fair highways. At least it opens possibilities that caterers to the public desire for tra- vel are Mkely to try out. Fhat a trip of this character be different from one of equal length by railroad is really recognizable. Railroads follow the streams and hollows. Mo- tor bus travel would take the passen- gers by the farm homes and along the main streets of the towns. While railroads are lkely to present the most uninviting view the motor bus would show the travellers the best side of the region traversed. Motor bus travel would not appeal to those who have their own cars, but notwithstanding the great num- bers of cars owned there are still many people who have to take a pub- lic car were they to travel much by automobile. Motor busses running on regular schedule fill a place in transportation" and It may be thap motor bus excursions will become as common and as popular as railroad excursions have been. ET ------------ LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE. When e man buys a house he looks it over, front yard and back yard, inside and out, cellar and attic. When he buye an automobile he examines the chassis and inspects the top, turns up the seat cushions and opens the motor hood. : No woman would buy @& Dlece of cloth, calico or sitk, without turn- ing it over and over examining both sides with care and caution. . There is a bottom and a top, ap inside and an outside, ea right side and a wrong side to everything. We are mighty oaveful, in buying our rugs and our curteins, "our wall paper and our table linens, to look on both sides. v But in selecting our ideas and convictions, our beliefs and prinel- ple, how many of us turn them oger government of the | such | 1 picture screen because their greatest | for meals and at night, arrangements | THE DAILY BRITISH WH i to examine the other side? How many Of us are content with the | plausible, attractive side that the | salesman shows ? How many of us | Stumble blindly along unconscious | that thers is any other side than the | stde we first lookéd upon ? | many of us engage in heated comn- | troversy 'to maintain that the side | we see is the "right" side, when we | | have In fact made no honest attempt | to examine the other eidg ? The ability to examine\both sides | of a piece of mental goods with tol- |erance and unprejudiced perception | | is an inescapable requisite of a use- | tut Fie, a successful lite, indeed of a | happy lite; just as the ability to dis- | tinguish between the right mide and | | the wrong side of a piece of cloth, {marks the 'alert, thrifty, tranquil | housewife, We may depend upon it that there | are two sides to every question.

John Philip Sousa ,the bandmah- ter, has given an interview in which | he points out the weakness of Jazz | | that is going. to prove #ts doom. The | Jazz writers lack originality. As | Sousa says, "they simply appropri- | ate some inspired composer's tune | | tod weave their own compositions | | around it," {enough to conceal the theft. { The bandmaster thinks the jazz | writers will run out of composers to | copy and will start jazzing sacred | music. "When the public hears | 'Nearer My God to Thee' in jazz- time," he says, 'it will rise in its | wrath and do away with jazz." | The end of the abomination may | Rot conte about in just that way, but |it is certain that before long there is | going to be a revulsion of feeling | against the profanation of good | music by the jazz writers. If the | people were content with a mere blur of loud and rhythemic sound, {a8 the aboriginies are, the lack of | originality in the jazz writers would not be a handicap to them, and they would be spared the necessity of | Plagiarism, But at least a sugges- | thon of tuneful melody is demanded, and as the writers are unable to pro- | duce anything of the sort out of their own brains, they turn to dead com- posers or those whose works are not copyrighted and whose admirers seem powerless to protect them. The day will come when the public will rebuke the plagiarists for their shameful thefts, even though they do mot carry their brazen audacity to the point of jazzing hymns. FATE OF THE ARMENIANS, | When Lord Curzon, British for- |elgn secretary, last November pub- |liely condemned the action of | France in signing an agreement | with the Turkish Nationalist govern- {ment and declared that peace would {never be achieved "if one power tries to steal a march on another |and concludes arrangements on its own account," the world gained a |sudden and surprising Insight into {the delicacy of the relations between | France and Great Britain as a result jot the Near Eastern situation. Now word comes of the terms agreed uw on by Great Britain and France for the reyision of the Treaty of Sevres, which was designed to settle the whole Near Eastern question, but which was opposed by the Turkish rebel, Mustapha Kemal Pasha. It should be understood that the recog- nized Turkish government, at Con- stantinople, was supposed to carry out the terms of this treaty. One article of this treaty provided for the freeing of the Greeks in Asia Minor from Turkish rule. It was also designed to safeguard the per- secuted Armenians. Since the weak- ened Constantinople government was not in a position to combat the Turk- ish rebel and secure the rights pre- scribed for the Greeks, and the Al- les stood by indifferent, it seemed up to the Greek government to de- fend its people, and so Greece got into this latest war. And now once more the civilized world is saddened by the spectacle of the Allies truck- ling to the Greeks, and the United States continuing to stand aloot when she might do so much to re- store peace and tranquility. The net result of the new arrange- ment of boundaries, it is stated, is to extend Turkish territory and to strengthen the Turkish influence in those very quarters where it is apt to prove most baneful. The Mébam- medan world once more receives the impression that the Allies are atraid of the Turks. The moral effect of the settlement is most unfortunate. But what of the Armenians and other oppressed peoples whom the Treaty of Sevres, now radically amended, was planned to protect? It the Allies and the United States have hitherto shown themselves so indifferent to the fats of these un- happy people, what can be hoped for How | BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY A NATION'S GREAT- | !
