Why the Brunswick Method of
Reproduction Insures a
Superior Phonograph

Reason No. L. The Brunswick method of reproduc
ton includes the Ultona, conception in playing. The
Ultona consists of arrangement of the several
sary reproducing diaphragms upon one tone arm This
is an all in arrangement with attachments; moth
ing to take off or put on.
At the turn the hand the Ultona adapted to play
any type record The proper diaphragm is presented,
the weight the precise needle Thus the require
ments of each type of record are met.
SO each record, of whatever make, is played exactly
as it should be- The Utona demands sacrifice in
attachments do
The Brunswick choose records without re
gard make Every singer, every band, every musician,
every selection may be played at its best the
phonobraph.
Reason No .. Equal in Importance to reproduc-
ton is tone ampification The Brunswick Method of Re
production also includes idea in acoustics, 7he
Brunswick Amphtier .
Old time ideas at variance. Some makers still
cling to metal constructions Others combination of
wood and metal wooden horn and metal casting the
''throat.'
But the Brumsmick AmpIfier is oud IN shape and
built entirely of uood Ike fine Violin II is moded Of
Holly wood
Sound waves require uniform amplficaton to reach
their fulncss You will note that The Brunswick tone is
richer and more natural Strident, metallic tones
absent.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

y oMETIMES letter comes to
me through this column that
seems to justify Browning's
rugged optimism: Goods in his
Heaven. All's right with the
world"
The letter in question is the
story Of a girl who came back
after a bitter and heartbreaLing
experience. l wish it were pos
sible for me to give her entire let
ter, word for word, just as she
wrote it out of the fullness of a
heart that has known loneliness,
the blackness of despair. but was
never wholly quenched.
And 1 think. in spite Of the mis-
fortunes Of her childhood, she
owes much of her residence
to her Irish temperament. The
Irish have more lives than the
proverbial cat, and nothing has
ever been able to kin their splen-
did courage or their souls. At
home the Irishman may be a
political pawn. but away from
home, he PLAYS chess very skill
fully with the rest of creation.
Being Irish undoubtedly helped
my young friend to again take her
place in the world, as it will help
her some day to find happiness.
The personal letter l wrote this
girl failed to reach her, much TO
my regret.
Perhaps II May Help Some other

She Meets an Artist.
One evening at a theater party
in New York I was introduced to a
well-known artist, and our friend
ship ripened into love, and we DC
came engaged. I carefully shielded
from him my real existence-that
is always the test of true love

ed he took me to a well-known
restaurant to dine. While there a
friend Of his came in, and, upon
seeing us together, he looked
askance. My fance invited him to
join US, and he did.
Next day 1 received a special de-
livery letter asking me to meet nv
fance. He confronted me with
many statements which his friend
of the night before had made in re-

could make no answer. He loved
me; loved him do now and al
ways shall. Our affair, the only
real love affair OF my life5 ended
there.
A year after our parting, saw
in the papers the announcement Of
his wedding. cried myself to sleep
that night. Yes, dear girls, it does
pay to have a standard and live
scrupulously up to it. Never con-
slider yourselves unattractIVe II you
have purity and cleanliness OF
heart. They are the finest attri-
butes in the world, the greatest
gift you may bring to any han

Because the other EiEls get in a

imagine yourselves unattractiVe.
Rather consider it an honor to be
reserved and reticent 1 felt I'M
attractive! I have reason to feel

A man once told me: 'T would
rather see my daughter dead than
become forward and unreserved."
Many men have told me practically
the same thing. and all have the
greatest respect for virtue in
women. Every man in his heart
has a deep pity for the ''vamp" and
many have tried to raise me to my
feet. One finally did. It is certain
ly no sign Of unattraetiveness for
a girl to remain at home. Prince
Charming will come when least ex-
pected.
II the bold and braxen girls only
knew the laughs and sneers they
get, when their backs are turned,
they would become less bold and

The desire to be attractive, to be
loved, led me on in my wild hope

Pleasure and happiness are never
with the woman who has lost. Deep
in my wounded heart, I have found
that great truth. In the meantime

that OF q trained nurse examination
for an entrance salary Of sos per
month, little over SO q week. In
order TO qualify and pass this ex-
animation 1t is necessary for them to
take an examination In some Of the
following named subjects: Anatomy,
physiology, hygiene, general nursing.
surgical nursing, and obstetricai
nursing. All these qualifications
mentioned are required, for which
the Government offers the hugs
amount Of $95 per month. As every
one knows who is familiar with this
line Of work, these girls are required
to study in school and also take hos
pital training for q period Of at least
four years. They spend there eight
20 ten long hours on their feet, car
ing and attending the sick. After
this, at last comes their graduation,
for which they think they will be re-
warded- After looking things over,
they can find what a large salary
there is working for the Govern
ment Private concerns pay twice
to three times as much as the Gov
eminent for men and women OF
qualification. How, then, does the
Government expect to hold men and
women of caliber for the salary il
offers. / am not a nurse by any
means, but one OF the Government
