ANNOUNCING THE NEW
WORLD PHONOCRAPA

The World Phonograph company of
Chicago, a concern whose financiers
are reckoned with the greatest of the
worlds men of finance of today, have
been for several years perfecting a
monograph that would play all talk
ing machine records perfectly, phono-
graph which would reproduce the hu-
man voice, violin and all other instru-
ments so distinctly that the very per-
sonality of the artist is revealed, and
in the World photograph they have
achieved their desire.
The World Photograph company
mnufactures the World photograph in
its entirety. Every part is made in
their extensive factory The instru-
ment is of correct design, high quality
construction, durability all that will
and has astonished those who have
been fortunate in securing these in
struments.
The World photograph plays all
makes of records without extra attach
ments. That is why it is called the
World-because it combines all that is
best in monographs into one phono-
graph; in other words it is the lotto
phonosra phone hundred points of su-
periority.
The tone chamber is made like an
old violin. is built entirely of time
seasoned spruce wood, famed for its
qualities of sound reproduction. Only
with an atwood sound chamber, such
as is in the World. can the natural
shadings of the human voice or in
struments be exactly reproduced.
The Phoenix headquarters of the
World photograph is at the Redewill
Music company, 222-224 Washington
street, and there is a cordial invitation
extended to all TO hear and examine
this wonderful instrument.

Thanksgiving day was celebrated
throughout the country as a national
victory song day. Probably the largest
community chorus in the country sang
at Madison square in New York-thiS
chorus numbering over ten thousand
voices. The National Council of Wom-
en- circularized all prominent musicians
in the larger cities regarding these
song services and suggested songs
which should be sung. Besides the ma
tional anthem, Old Folks at Home,
America the Beautiful, There's a Long,
Long Trail, the Holy City, When the
Boys Come Home and others were
suggested as being very appropriate.
This circular also stated that the pur-
pose of the victory song is to arouse
our people to a realization of the power
of music for uplifting and maintaining
the spiritual strength of America-the
greatest force for justice and right in
the world. on this day of exultation,
and of thanksgiving, there could not
be a more appropriate nor more eff
fective means of expressing our emo
tons than by singing together. An
aroused national spirit must be born of

PreCociouS Youth Kills Himself

LONDONDERRY cases of suicide In
recent years have attracted as much
attention as that Of Master Arthur
Easterbrook, precoclOus son of a re-
tired colonel in the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing in chemistry, to which he was de-
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by the discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
his school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed it, there was an
insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
A letter left by the boy is as follows:
ITO whomsoever shall find this:
"Today will be my last day on this
planet. I cannot stand the prospects
of what is coming, so goOd-by, chemis-
try, my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward I cannot
