Gentlemen We Give You This Special and Extraordinary Privilege By Permission of Messrs Hart Schaffner Marx

To the
 We'll Uniformed Man This announcement is almost as impressive as dispatch stat ing that the price of govern ment bonds had been reduced twenty cents on the dollar.
 For the Hart Schaffner & Marx label is as authoritative in the Field of Fashion as the signature of the Secretary of the Treasury is in the Finan- cial World.
 It has been accepted for years as the assurance of First Qual- ity.
 There never has been and never will be thread of cotton in any garment bearing this famous, time-honored label. ALL WOOL, ALL THE WHILE, regardless of market prices or the expedients of competitors, is the Hart Schaff- her X Marx rule-as inexorable and inviolable as the laws of the ancient Medes and Per sians.
 The same high standard is rigidly maintained as to style and workmanship-the one is absolutely correct, the other is as thoroughly excellent as the hand-tailor's art can make it
 Thus is it that the Hart Schaffner & Marx Suit and Overcoat has come to be regarded-lil1e the Government Bond-"as good as gold' all over these broad United States-not to say the whole world. Faultless to the most critical eye, it holds it's own forever and day" in the esteem of the wear CT and against the erosions of usage, because it is RIGHT in every detail and respect.

Having thus made our notes, we must
next fasten them together so that they
will stay in place while being played.
This is done by drilling two small
holes through the side of each bar and
threading them with stout twine. Fish
ing line is excellent for the purpose.
1t will be necessary to put washers
on the string between each bar in order
to keep the notes from touching and
thus spelling the tones. Leather is the
best material for the washers. and an
old shoe will supply all you need. In
the diagram given above the threaded
strings are shown by the dotted lines.
Now a rack on which to lay our bars,
and then the xylophone is finished. This
is made Of two strips OF wood. fastened
with crossbars. as shown in the dia-
gram, Fig. 2, on which are placed sew
eral strips of heavy felt. This may
be glued or fastened with small tacks
hammered down hard so the heads are
well imbedded. The rack should be
long and wide enough to support the
bars readily
The boring of the holes for the cord
will probably affect the tones little so
that IL may be necessary to retune
some of the bars. When once ad-
justed. however. the pitch will always
remain the same.
To play the xylophone take one OF
the little hammers in each hand and
strike with first one and then the
other as quickly rs possible upon a
single note. This motion. which Is
known as the ROLL takes a little prac-
tice to learn. but is very necessary for
any one who wishes to play properly.
In playing slow pieces. such as Home,
Sweet Home and Annie Laurie.

you will remember, when YOU studied
music at school, that there is only
half a tone difference between E and
f, so you must make r only a trifle
shorter than E, which is one tone
above d.
Having thus cut three or four bars
of wood, the next thing is to tune
them. in order to make them corre-

To do this we must lay the bars across
two rolls of tightly twisted paper, or

The inauguration of "Old Hickory

not to participate in the inaugural GER

General jackson as an escort. and he

On testing your first notes you will

This can be fixed by cutting a little
off the end of a bar to raise the tone.
or saving a little cut in the middle Of
the under side to lower ii. Don't cut
deep--a very little cut is sufficient

You will find that the ehief difficulty

" IRST of all. perhaps, you would
like to know what xylophone is.
The name comes from two Greek
words. xylos, meaning wood, "
and phonos, sound" so that a xylo-
phone is simply sounding wood And
the name is a good one, for a xylo-
phone is a musical instrument made of
bars of wood of varying lengths, which
give out clear. bell like tones when
tapped with mallet or hammer. BY
following the directions given here any
boy with an ear for music can make one
for himself, and with little practice
can become quite skillful in play
