well preserved Guadagnini violin-an
extremely fine instrument that musi-

BETH will continue to use his Stradi-

quartet uses are the property Of their

WEATHER and THE WIRELESS
None of 10 Vessels Lost in Lake Storm
Was Equipped to Receive Warnings.


The department of commerce has
sscertained that none Of the nineteen
American vessels lost in the great
lakes storm of five weeks ago was
equipped with wireless. Vessels with
wireless apparatus received warning
and made for shelter or safe anchor
age. This exhibit not only directs the
public anew to the value of the sys-
tenn, but it calls to mind the fact there
are regions where strict attention to
the weather and weather portents is
the hard and fast rule of cautious and
prudent men. In every trade or busi-
ness, to be sure, some are foolhardy
and venturesOme, but it is related OF
great lakes navigatOrs that, as a class,
they consult government weather re-
ports and forecasts with rigid regu-
larity and adjust their movements ac-
cordingly with scrupulous care.

constant touch with everything issued
by the weather bureau that can pos
