Everv Messenger steamship carries TWO
wireless GENERATORS, so that there shall be
a man on duty every moment of the day
and night. Before the Titanic disaster
the number OF lifeboats was based on the
tonnage of the ship instead OF the num-
her of passengers. This has now been
changed Some companies had to cut
down the passenger capacity OF their
boats to make il possible for their ves-
sells 10 carry sufficient lifeboats.
American drill regulations have been
made much more stringent. II is now the
duty Of every master of an American YES

The PianOla
1.-THE Worlds Greatest Musical InStru

1.-THE Worlds Greatest Musical Instrument
The absorbing interest and pleasure of playing
the Pianola lies in
The satisfaction of executing skillfully and
beautifully the most difficult music
The subtle fascination of perfect expression
control
And above all, the sense of ability to convey
the mood of the composition, be it grave, gay,
sombre or sparklrng-to weave it into the
music you play.
The exclusive expression devices Of the
Pianola-such as the Metrostyle, the Themodist
and the Graduated Accompaniment Levers -
make possible this wonderful control. They
are protected by numerous patents, some OF
which are basic.
These devices are not to be had in any
instrument except the Pianoa. They have
never been successfully initiated and they are
essential in securing a correct and pleasing
musical Interpretation.
If you would know the delight, the satisfac.
ton of making real music with your own hands
and brain know the Panola.
Player pianos, so called, are not Pianolas.
There is but Pianoa. 1t is made ex-
clusively by the Aeolian Company, and Is
obtainable in the following models only:

politiscal effort at Washington in re-

by the proposal Of Senator Owen to
convert all paper money into green
backs with a gold reserve. but finance
is not disposed to cross bridges before

that Washington's conceptions are
likely to be clarified by the conclu-

to assemble soon at Chicago. A re-
Election of the forthcoming transfer OF
