ONCE SANG FOR EACH RECORD
Now Machinery Duplicates Efforts
OF Photographic Artists.

II is probable that there are actu-
ally millions of phonograph records
of Keep the Home Fire Burning
in existence today, and there must
be records of other popular selec-
tions equally numerous. Yet the
artists who made these records sang
only once TO produce a master rec
ord" and the rest are merely repro
ductions of the originals.
But things were not always like
this. 1t is only few years since
the time when the artist had to sing
once for each single record. Not a
few of the popular record artists
can remember the time.
I'VE used to make them at the
rate of 25 cents apiece" said one of
these to the writer recently. I've
often made scores OF records OF the
same selection in single day.
When 1 went home at night I was
afraid to speak to my wife for fear

Petrify Hun Hordes
With Liquid Cement,
Urges "Nut" Inventor

London.-"Nut" inventions for end
ing the war pour in on Britain's
officialdom daily. Some of the bright
ideas" which have been thrown into
the ash can by the inventions depart
ment of the ministry of munitions
follow:
Freeze the clouds and mount guns
on them. Train birds to fly to Essen,
pick the mortar from Krupps' walls
and so cause them to crumble to dust.
Cover the moon with a big black
ballon, or project black rays from a
searchlight upon the orb, thus stop
ping air raids.
Trail monster magnets from bal
looms, and so attract rifles" from the
enemy.
Put men on shells to steer them.
Generate heat rays to set Zeps on
fire.
Some folk propose to eIectrocute the
enemy, others to petrify the Germans
by squirting cement over them.
One wanted to throw snakes by
pneumatic propulsion into the enemy
trenches. and another thought he
could throw live wire cables among
the enemy by means of rockets.
Still another proposed that shells
should diffuse gravel as they sped
through the air. and thus make roads
over the mud in No Mans Land.
OF all suggestions submitted to the
department only one in ten is novel
and possible. II is said.
