Many Purposes. Ftss
H6Das hEUnited Press Dispatchl no
ntNewI9o York; November 25.-Utili.
cation of corncobs for commercial
purpose is one oof the possibilities
OF peacetime industry being investi-
gated by commercial men here.
Adhesive gum, cellulose, glucose
and alcohol are among the products
already obtained from cobs in ex-
periments. Chemists of the United
States department of agriculture
consider the commercial possibilities
opened up by the experiments as
very promising.
Corncobs constitute an enormous
item of waste in the great corn states
of the United States. They are used
in iSany western towns and rlral
communities as fuel. To some extent
they are ground with the corn for
cattle feed. But mostly they rot in
great piles, or are burned to get
them out of the way.
Glucose extracted from corncobs
is of excellent quality, chemists find.
1t crystallizes readily, and is be-
lieved to be fully as good for com
merclal purpose as the glucose
now made from starch.
Glucose is widely used in com
merce and industry
For extraction of alcohol from
corncobs, sulphuric acid is used
Practicabiiity of this feature of corn
cob utilization, therefore would de-
pend upon the cost of the acid.

pressed with splendid lung power.
The child's future education and
happiness is the dominant note in
the new home-making plans. what
will baby say?" or think or do, when
he or she grows up-that's the ques-
tion.
1t seems rather ridiculous to endow
baby with SO much Importance. but
that's a way that mothers and fathers
have. The surest appeal to a parenrs
attention and sympathy is something
with a baby" in It.
Just now it's the Baby Grandr-the
piano that is crowding the upright
for first place in all our home and
music-making plans
Making the furniture "nt" Is the
despair OF the average housekeeper.
with the piano as the chief despairer.
The old square piano never did ft.
1t mOnopolized the living room. We
didn't sit around the fireplace; we sat
around the piano-when 1t was on the
square.
Hence the upright piano-popuIar
from the first because II took less
room and snugly fitted into a corner
None OF these pianos found com
plete favor with the artist or the
finished amateur in the home. The
Wrestling in the upright lacked the
/ requisite length to reproduce the full
resonant tone. Acoustic sharps also
insist that the perpendicular impact
~ 49,.
against the wire doesn't give as good
a "tone-value" as that resulting from
the horizontal impact OF the hammer
| in the grand plano.
We noticed the difference: we were
anxious to own a Concert Grand
the acme OF piano perfection-but
few OF US had big enough rooms or
big enough bank accounts to buy this
big and best piano.
This desire has resulted in the
Baby Grand"-191Ts biggest con-
tribution to the solution of this Vex-
ing problem.
The Baby Grand" occupies but
very little more floor space than the
upright piano. 1t fits into most cor
ners in a modest and unassuming
way.
As furniture, the Baby Grand" Is
both becoming and decorative-as
piano 1t is 100 per cent satisfaction
and JOY.
II is hard to choose between the
(automatic) piano-player and the
Baby Grand" piano. They both are
likely candidates for our 1918 favor
for they each represent leadership
in personal or mechanical music max
ing, in home convenience and pleasure.
Most folks decide the toss up BY
buying the Baby Grand" piano-play-
er-the instrument that the artist or
amateur can play upon with his
fingers, or that the rest OF US can play
upon through the little old machine
that almost thinks"
Here's some sensible buying advice
to parents:
Before you grand baby grows up
buy a Baby Grand'-theyll be great
chums and friends In later life.
