The man who all his life has wanted good music
in his home but has been unable to have it, is today
equippng his household with tho best that money
can buy.
The New Edison rC-createS music, not mere
approximation. There is vast difference in the
words recreation and approximation. The word
approximation means near to thing, while the
word recreation means part of the original So,
when we use the word recreation" we mean
the original.
Mr. Buyer, stop and think for yourself Don't
let others think for you You are here to fill the
place of man, not piece of machinery that has to
be run by someone else. If your neighbor has more
than you it is because he thinks for himself Your
neighbor knows that you have been thinking over
this music propositions that it has been study with
you and your study was the direct cause of the

We give demonstrations every afternoon from

shade of difference between the artist singing and

PONP AND GLITTER
ARE NOT FOR RIFLES
Lieut.. Col. HazIeton Opposes
Guards Plan to Take Over
Defense League.
Lansbmgh Bro The Shopping Center Of All Washington

Exception is taken by officers of the
Home Defense League Rifles to the
proposal. emanating from headquarters
of the new National Guard unit of the
District of Columbia, urging the rifles
to enlist in the new guard. The follow
ing statement was issued today by
Lieut.. Col E. P. Hazleton Of the regi-
mental staff Of the Home Rifles:
II desire to take strong exceptions
to statement appearing in the local
papers yesterday that the Home De-
fense League Rifles are considering
Joining any other organization.
1T looks to me like a scheme to use
the Home Rifles as a feeder for the So
called National Guard. The men be-
longing to the Home Defense League
Rifles joined from purely patriotic mo-
tives, and do not care to join club
wherein Uncle Samuel pays the dues:
nor are they looking for the pomp and
glitter of soldiers life.
But being home builders and home
Columbia, they have drilled and shot
for eight months or more to place them
selves in condition to defend those
homes and the District. The Home Rifles
today can put into the service Of the
District of Columbia on an emergency
over a thousand qualified riflemen. So
licitation and arguments used to draw
these men away from their allegiance
to the Home Rifles is to say the least.
in bad taste, and should not be tolerated.
THE members of the Home Rifles are
pledged honorably under the Commits
sioners and the chief of police of WASH
ington to defend the District, and are
ready to do so when called on"
The enrolled membership of the Home
Defense League Rifles, according to Of
ficials, is in excess of 1880. of which
several hundred have enlisted in the
Army or Navy. leaving approximately
:.400 in the active membership Of the
organization.

MASSACHUSETTS SENATE
HAS UP DRY. AMENDMENT
Prohibition Leaders Confident Of De-
feating Referendum and Adop-
tion Of Federal Measure.

BOSTON. April 2.-The question Of
ratifying the federal prohibition amend
ment was taken up in the senate today,
with prohibition leaders predicting de-
feat of q substitute measure providing
for q referendum at the next state elec-
tion. The house last week ratified the
amendment by a majority of fifty-four
votes.
Action by the senate was made the
special order of business today. Mem
bers predicted that the principal fight
would be on motion to substitute
for the lhouse bill resolution to refer
the issue to the people.
Encouraged by what they described
as great victory in the lower branch,
the legislative forces directing the
fight for ratification asserted they had
obtained enough pledges in the senate
to assure passage of the measure, and
that, even If the substitute should pre-
vail. the house would not recede from
its position, in which event the senate
would have to meet the issue squarely
at this session.

CANADIANS AID GERMAN
DEFEAT IN MOTOR CARS
Raria Fire Plays Important Part
j, Checking Rush
of Boches.

By the Associated Press.
BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, April 1.-Canadian ar
mored motor cars with rapid-firers have
played an important part in checking
the German rush. Up to the time of
the present battle they were used but
little, but in the last ten days these
cars, which were made In America,
have performed valuable work. FIRE.
ouentIy they have held up large bodies
of German troops on being rushed to
threatened parts Of the front. Their
presence has had wonderfully steady
ing effect on the British lines.
Rushed to Critical Point.
Upto yesterday the daring crews of
about twenty-six hours since the second
days attack. On the hrst day these
cars I'm considerable numbers were,
rushed to the right HANK below the.
Somme. where the situation was most.
One of these armored cars found it,
self in certain village filled with Ger.
man Infantry. All the crew were killed
with the. exception Of the driver and
one gunner. When the capture of the
car seemed certain the gunner took his
heavy rapid-firer, to the ground. where
he held OF large numbers of the enemy
until the driver was able to turn the
automobile around. This done the ma
chine gun was thrown into the car and
the two men sped away.
Fought to the Last Man.
The battery Of another car which,
had dfsmounted and Was fighting the
Germans with machine guns, ran out
of ammunition. The Germans closed in,
coming up to such short distance that
they were shooting with revolvers The
situation was hopeless. but the gallant
Canadians were not to be taken alive.
They SEIZED spare barrels Of machine
guns and charged the. Germans with
these weapons. They, of course. were
no match for an enemy heavily armed,
and all OF them were killed.
At one point the Germans were
massfng for an attack when two cars
crept mp within close range and en-
filaded their ranks. German artillery
sheiled the cars, knocking out one and
forcing the other to withdraw, but not
until they had done great execution.
At Cerisy one Canadian motor car held
back an entire enemy battalion which
was attempting to cross the canal.
