LAST OPEN PRACTICE
FOR PRINCETON ELEVEN

Princeton, y. J.. Nov. 13.-Princeton
this afternoon had its last open practice
in preparation for the game with Yale
on Saturday. Fully 1000 undargradu-
ates watched the players work. Every
member of the Varsity team got into
the scrmmage with the scrun, though
none played through both halves.
During the first period, the Varsity
was put on the defensive. a succession
of open plays was then tried. The.
work was considered fair though TIL"

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Gentlemen

S05-Your greatest talent seems to be
in expression and the use Of language.
You have a very expressive face, a
good pair of prominent eyes and flexi-
BILE mouth, all of which aid man very
much in public speaking and in elo-
cution. Your greatest fault Is the lack
Of acquisitiveness and alimentlveness,
and you would be much better looking
if your nutrition were better, and the
cultivation of alimertiveness would
bring that about
S06-There is not much improvement
to be made in your appearance except
by cultivating dignity and tiving your
self more Independent bearing.
S07-Cultivate ideality and imitation
You are too blunt and aggressive in
your manner and give the appearance
of a lack of proper refinement.
S08-You are dyspeptic and emaciated
and need to cultivate nutrition. De-
velop alimentiveness and acquisitive-
ness and practice ueep breathing and
you will improve rapidly.
S09-Give yourself into the hands of a
competent barber and have your hair
and beard dressed in modern style.
You are healthy and pleasing, but you
need trimming and sor e edI. cation on
graceful manners and correct styles Of
dress.

Machines Are Versatile
The most surprising element about
the talking machine is it's versatility.
Take the Victor, for instance With it
you can run the whole gamut of amuse-
ment from a low down dog fight to a
complete grand opera-from overture
to final curtain 1 venture to say that
in the Victor catalogue will be found
such a variety of records that every
nationality, every age and every tenn
permanent can be successfully amused,
elevated and educated.
OF all the many talking machine
companies the Victor has done more
than any other to bring the instrument
and record to it's present high perfec-
tion. And what seems to me to be the
greatest success of the Victor people
is the Victor-Victrola. This instrument
is truly the Beau Brummel of the talk
ing machine world. A modest. unob-
trusive cabinet, whose simple, dignified
lines excite no curiosity and convey no

the Victor Company In Making
Records--How the Work
ls Done
BY GEE o,JAY

Last year the American people paid
the Victor Talking Machine company
no less than $20,OOo.oO0. This enormous
sum simply for music--for sound vibra-
tionsl Considering that five years ago
the Victor company started at almost
zero, this is a somewhat spectacular
commercial success. The huge sum was
spent with a single concern. Imagine
the total output of the other large
talking machine enterprises producing
Columbias, Edisons and zonophones!
And yet there are some among us who
claim we are not a musical nation.
How absurd! Because the talking ma
chine is a musical instrument-prob-
ably the greatest of all-it reproduces
the music Of all the others, including
the vibrations from the human throat,
or the singing voice."
Musicians who ridicule the talking
machine are dwindling into a micro
scopic minority. One by one the con-
servatives are coming out from behind
their shells of tradition Immediately to
become talking machine enthusiasts.
Not only are the musicians turning to
the talking machine for amusement,
but for instruction, too Often do we

How Can Make Myself Better
Looking?

The subject of personal appearance is
older than the human race. Before
man had evolved to the amphibiouS
stage, yea, even while our ancestors
were still in the aquatic stage, the mat
ter of personal appearance was of vita,
| Importance.
The survival of the fttest makes il
| imperative that some rule of fitness
should prevail, and this can only be
| judged by good appearances. Every
homely man ana every woman who has
an unpleasant personality is marked
for slaughter. Struggle ,as we may
against these unwelcome conclusions,
1t is a well-denned principle of human
life, and of all life, that those indi-
viduals who look the best fare the
best, and are continually favored by
every condition. physical, social and
financial. ITO him that hath shall be
given and from him that hath not
shall be taken away, even that little
that he hath
1t Is therefore the duty of every in
telligent, ambitious man or woman to
become as gooG-looking as possible.
Appearances run in types. There are
certain types of character that are
fitted for certain occupations and cer-
tain conditions of social life. When
these types get into the right place
they are considered handsome or beau
tiful because they seem to be in ac-
cord with the fitness of things. The
same Individual who would be consid-
cred handsome as soldier might be
looked upon with contempt as a dry
and women are at a personal disad-
vantage because they do not look the
part" of their occupations
Prosperity depends very much upon
getting yourself employed in an occu-
patton to which you are fitted. When
you look right, good influence will sur
round you.
In st. Paul, Mimi, many years ago,
examined a young man and urged
him to become a lawyer. I called his
attention to the fact that he had the
appearance and the manner of an
orator, and that unless he qualified
himself for a high position he would
have a hard time in life, because peo-
pie would not accept him in any Or
binary occupation, and l closed the
examination with the remark, IF you
do not study law and become a high
class professional man, you will starve." i"
Five years afterward he came to me
in distress and said that my prediction
had been true. He had neglected to
study law or to qualify himself for a
high professional position. He had a
wife and children to support and he
was being continually turned away
from second-class occupations, where
he would gladly have worked for small
wages, because he did not look right
for those forms of employment. Peo-
pie regarded a man of his appearance
with suspicion whenever he asked for
any grade of employment below that
for which he was naturally endowed.
1t therefore becomes of the very high

woman should learn the occupation for
which they arc best suited by nature,

hint of its purpose. Lift the upper lid
and there is disclosed the turntable of
a Victor with all the devices for re-
producing song or speech.
You look for the horn-it is entirely
eliminated-the Victor -Victrola is COM
plete in itself. Shut the upper lid down
and you hear no sounds of operation
open the double doors in front and the
music pours forth. Instead of leading
the music upward through the usual
horn, it is carried below the mechan-
ism out through the tone tubes to the
mahogany horn underneath the record,
machine and all. At the extremity of
this mahogany horn are the double
doors. Modify the volume of sound
as you please by closing and opening,
more or less, these doors. At the base
of the Victor-Victrola cabinet is room
for $50 records and the necessary acces-
sories.

The auxetophone is another recent
Victor production. This machine in

Is Scientific instrument
Already the Victor talking machine is
a scientific instrument through which
great singers may have the whole world
for an audience and through which the
present may speak in living accents to
posterity. If the rate of evolution of
the talking machine for five years be
continued through the next decade
what secrets may not be wrested from
nature?
I have learned to appreciate the talk
ing machine through frequent visits to
the demonstration rooms at the George
j. Birkel company's establishment at
345-347 South Spring street. There it
has been my good fortune to sit for
hours listening to the living voices of
great musicians-to Sousa's band and
the superb Victor orchestra.
Through the courtesy of the Birkel
, company 1 am enabled to reproduce
with this article two photographs of
their talking machine department One
picture shows section of the record
shelves. the other one of the machine
rooms. In the latter picture you will
see the famous Victor dog-always lis
tening for "his masters voice."
One splendid feature of the Birkel
talking machine department is the
seven large record demonstration
rooms-each we'll lighted, we'll ventilat-
ed and sound proof-rooms where you
can hear records in quiet and comfort.
When the call of music is in your
veins let the Victor be your performer.
The little dog is always generous-he
caters to every musical taste--he sat
isfies every musical appetite.

/ educate themselves accordingly, quail
fying themselves for participation In
| that class of work, and then STRIVING
and acting in such manner as to ful-
fill the requirements
The personal good will growing out OF
commonly called good looks Is largely
| a matter of temperament. Inc same
person will not make the same I'M
preston on two other persons of widely
! different temperaments. There Is a
i singular law of affinity that runs
through these subjects, and no man or
woman should hope to be personally at
tractive to everybody There are GER
, tain people who like you and who ad-
mire your style of appearance because
they demand the qualifications that are
indicated by your peculiarities.
BY carefully studying the tempera-
ments, as explained by Vitosophy, 1t is
quite possible to know the kind of per-
son that naturally considers your type
of character agreeable. By cultivating
the acquaintance of such people and
impressing them with the qualities that
YOU know they demand 1t Is quite pos
sible to make yourself very popular and
to gain a very large number of very de-
sirable friends. But in doing so you
will be equally certain to antagonize
persons of opposite temperaments, be-
cause by the law Of affinity all strong
natures who make strong attractions
produce equally strong repulsions. AS
L stepped on the stage Of the opera
house at Montgomery, Ala, to deliver a
lecture one evening two widely oppos-
ing remarks were made by two diff
ferent ladies in the audience simultane-
ously. One lady remarked: Isn't he
handsome? The other said: What a
homely creature! Both of these re-
marks were. sincere, and when they
were reported to me after the lecture by
friends who overheard them proceeded
to describe the general outlines and APP
pearances Of the ladies who made the
remarks, very much to the astonish-
ment of my friends. This was per-
fectly easy for me to do, however, be-
cause know, as every student of Vitos-
ophy knows, the kind Of person who
admires the type to which I belong and
the type which antagonizes 1t.
The important lesson to be drawn
from these principles is that you should
cultivate the type of character you rep
resent, and make 1t strong and forcible,
wholesome and effective, with the con-
sciousneSs that you will attract a cer-
tain number of persons by what some
call your good looks. You will be
equally certain to antagonize a number
courage you at all.
There Is no absolute, fixed type of
beauty, but there are seven tempera-
ments, and each temperament has Its
peculiar style of beauty, which can be
very much accentuated If the student
understands what Ii represents and how
to improve 1t.
The electric temperament is dark, and
its strongest attributes are composure,
steadiness, endurance, dignity and at
tractiveness.
The magnetic temperament is highly
colored, vibratory, radiant and warm.
1t is naturally attractive to the electric
temperament, and the electric tempera-
ment is equally attractive to the mag
netic, because they need each other
The vital temperament is round,
plump and well nourished. It is a very
