The manufacturer, too, should re-

(a) How many years has the
firm been in business
OBJ What is its reputation? Has
1t been leader in this and other
lines which 1t has manufactured?
(c) Is it known for its progress
siveness? Has it followed the prin-
ciple of developing to a high de-
gree-scientifically-the various pro-
ducts which it has made?
(d) Has IL brought out new and
exclusive improvements which have
added materially to the desirability
of its products?
(e) Has 1t ample capital to de-
velop the business along the posi
modern lines?
Gu Is its method of distribution

is necessary to adjust the desired
needles or point to any record made.
This most modern type of repro
ducers makes 1t unnecessary to
change reproducers or to use other
make-shift arrangements.
THE TONE AMPLIFIER
In order that the tonal volume
may be full, resonant and clear, the
throat and tone amplifier should be
round or oval In shape, approximate
ing the form of the human throat
and mouth. and should by all means
be entirely OF wood in order to elm
mate all harsh, thin or metallic tone
qualities.
The full rich tones OF violin re-
suit largely from its construction OF
we'll seasoned wood-all metal be-
ing done away with.
Then too. the tone amplifier should
be built entirely of wood for the
same reason that wood Is used in the
construction OF the sounding board OF
a piano. Invariably in the finest
toned pianos the sounding board
which augments and reflects the de-
sired purity and volume OF tone, is
built entirely OF wood. Even the
dowel pins, which hold the wooden
ribs and wooden bridges in place,
are OF wood. thus avoiding the use OF
'metaL screws.
So. when selecting photograph
the purchaser should insist upon See

A phonograph Is built primarily to
reproduce sound. Tone Is perhaps a
better word, for the number Of mu-
steal records in demand is greatly In
abe majority.
For this reason tone quality is a
most desirable feature. and should
be one of the first to receive the at
tention of the prospective purchaser.
TONE REPRODUCTION
In the photographic reproduction
of a musical tone, there are four
prime ESSENTIALS:
(a) The record.
OBJ The needle Cor poinD which
vlbrates through contact with the
record and transmits these vibrations
TO the reproducer.
(c) The reproducer, which mag
miles the sound vibrations and
passes them along to the tone ampli-
fier. laA
(d) The tone amplifier which. as
the name implies, enlarges, enriches
and rounds out the tonal vibrations.
Let us consider briefly each of
these four important requirements.
THE RECORD
There are many different makes
oof records. each make presenting the
recorded art OF distinguished artists,
sorchestras and bands. all worthy of
place in any Photographic library.
To limit oneself to any one make OF
records is to forego the pleasures
which all OF the other makes afford.
1t is q first essential. therefore, to
select photograph which can play
records OF all makes.
THE NEEDLE
There are four common types of
points---the steel needle. the wood
fibre needle. the sapphire ball, and
diamond point--ali OF merit; each
possessing special qualifications es-
sential to certain makes of records
Therefore to have all four OF these
needles or points at ones instant
command becomes a practical neces-
sity TO those buyers who would en-
joy the advantages OF reproducing
any and all recorde upon their owr
photograph.
THE REPRoDUCER
The Teproducer should, first of all
he OF sufficient size to adequatel!

the needle and to transmit them t.
the tone amplifier with power an'
fidelity, retaining their true tone
quality, character, purity and power

UP.TO-DATENESS

Modern monographs offer many
advantages over old style instru-
ments. When buying, therefore, the
purchaser should be sure to select
one which embraces the latest and
best ideas in tone production.

one to regulate the tonal dynamlcs
from very loud to very soft and,
once it is set, should not be contin-
ually operated while record is
playing.
The wisdom OF this advice Is cas-
how incapable the average person is
of taking liberties with the artistic
expression OF n Muratore, Caruso,
'Galli-Curci or of Symphony orches-
ira under the direction of such mas
ters as Gabrilowitch. Stock or other
well known conductors.
The scientifically constructed tone
modifier should lessen the degree of
loudness only and not choke or stifle
the tone utterance; the tone modifier
must not produce the effect of stuff
fling handkerchief into the singers
mouth--a too frequent result of tone
modification in monographs.
1t is important. too, to see that
the tone is modified before 1t reaches
the ampllfier or horn, for, after the
tone has been amplified Increased
in volume), it can be modified only
at the expense of tone quality.
THE MOTOR
There are many well known mo-
tors now in use in the photograph
trade, all of which have been devel-
oped to high degree. The princi-
pal function OF the motor is to re-
lvolve the turntable, thus turning the
record. Il should wind easily and
noiselessly, operate quietly and re-
volve the turntable at an unvarying
rate OF speed. Your guarantee of a
dependable motor is the reputation
of the house which manufactures II.
CABINET WORK AND FINISH
Whether or not photograph is
attractive in design is a matter for
each individual to decide. for. person
oil taste enters largely into the deci-
sion.
The cabinet, however, should be
we'll finished-the back as well as
the front. Carelessness in finishing
the back OF an instrument may mean
carelessness in other points OF man
spection after the instrument is COM
plete. -
CONVENIENCE
In addition to a simple, effective
/, and scientific all record reproducer
: and an all wood tone amplifier.
} there are several other conveniences
which are highly desirable to the
: purchaser
AUTOMATIC STOP: One OF these
is an automatic stop which accurate

the records will be kept in first class

London, Aug. 19.-The Aquitania,
the giant Cunard liner, which is the
largest ship flying the British flag,
is now on its way across the Atlantic
On its last voyage for the next FIVE
months.
The Aquitania, which has been
chartered by the American govern
ment as a troop ship, recently brought
6.000 Yanks of the Army of occupa,
ton to New York from Brest ana
was then released from U. S service.
She will be placed in dry dock for
thorough renovation. During her
career as a troop-ship, hundreds Of
staterooms of the Aquitania were re-
moved to make room for metal racks
supporting soldiers hunks.
The palatial grill room was cleared
for more hunks; and the first class
dining saloon changed into troop
mess room, During the last two years
the second class dining saloon has been
used by first class passengers.
All Of the very valuable oil pain,-
ings and tapestries, and much of the
priceless furniture and other deeora-
tions and equipment Of the Aqutania
are in storage in Liverpool. To protect
