Playing BY Hand. The AN1PICO action is
so installed within the case of the piano that
when the AMPICO is not in use no part of it
comes in contact with the action of the piano
proper. and thus the kNABE, with its superb
action and tonal quality. is absolutely I'M
impaired for hand playing.
Simplicity of Operation. Almost as mar
velous as the exquisite reproduction of the
playing of master musicians is the AMPICO'S
simplicity of operation and its freedom from
mechanical unsightliness. 1t is only necessary
to insert the roll. set the tempo Indicator and
touch the starting lever. At the conclusion of
the piece the instrument automatically stops
and re-winds the roll. You may sit with your
guests and. without effort on your part hear
your favorite selections played exactly as you
would have them.

Three Girls on
THANKSGIVING Day

AssS4sS~O6s~Uso IVY
Mary and Louise were the child
rem of a rich merchant. They
always had plenty to wear and
lived in a big yellow brick house
in the city.
These girls were very selfish.
but their mother was unlike them,
good andkind.
In the same city lived a girl
whose name was Lucy. Her
parents were dead and she was
poor She worked in dirty fac
tory and slept wherever she could
find shelter, sometimes in an old
box behind the factory and other
times in an old shed. No one took
pity ON her or helped her any.
Tomorrow was Thanksgiving
and there would be no school.
Late in the afternoon when school
was out Wednesday. the children
found it showing, how they hoped
it would continue, so they could
coast tomorrow. The children
ran home. When Mary and Louise
got home they found Grandmother
and grandfather there, they had
come to spend Thanksgiving. How
glad the children were. They went
to bed earlier than usual that night
so they could have longer Thanks
giving day.
The next morning when they
awol1e, they found the ground
covered with snow. 1t was just
fine for coasting.
They dressed and hurried down
stairs. While they were eating
breakfast, Betty King,who lived
next door, came over with her sled
and wanted the girls to go to the
hill to go coasting. The girls
hurriedly finished breakfast and
father got their sleds out while
mother bundled them up. Now
they would have some fun.
When they reached the hill, there
they saw Pauline Smith and Ruth
Macy, who had come to coast.
They coasted for while and
then Louise and Betty decided to
have a race Pauline was to tell
them when to start.
Louise and Betty got on top Of
the hill. Soon after they were
ready, they heard the signal, Co.
First Betty got ahead of Louise,
then Louise got ahead and all at
once something went "clash. What
had happened" A collision, they
had run together. Betty was up
already and luckily was unhurt, |
but Louise, her arm was broken.
No one was in sight except Lucy
who was passing by. She heard
the cries Of Louise and was running
toward her.
With the aid of Mary, she carried
her home. Pauline ran for the
doctor. Soon they had Louise
home and the doctor there. Lucy
stayed to see how Louise was.

UNIFORMS OFTEN
ILLEGALLY WORN
War Department Calls Attention
to Rules on the
Matter.

The attention of all discharged of
liccrs and enlisted men from the army
is directed to the order which the War
Department has issued concerning the
wearing Of uniforms after discharge.
The men, both officers and privates,
are permitted by law only to wear
their respective uniforms from the
camp where they are discharged to
their homes and thereafter only on
special occasions. This means that
while the privates may retain their
uniforms for four months after dis
charge they cannot wear them about
the streets of their homes. This law
is constantly being violated and Col.
H. c. Merriman, chief of staff to Ma
jor Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, has asked
that the attention of the public be
directed to the existing order.
Following is a copy of the circular
issued by the War Department.
War Department, Washington, Jan
uary 25, 1919.
Circular No. Wearing Of Uni
forms by Discharged Soldiers: Pres
cnt law authorized discharged Off
Ger or soldier to wear his uniform
rom the place Of discharge to his
home, within three months Of the date
of his discharge from the service
Thereafter the officer may wear his
uniform only upon occasions Of ccrc-
mony.
The enlisted man must return his
uniform within four months Of date
of discharge; but can wear it only
as stated above.
An act is now before Congress,
which if passed, will authorize en-
listed men to keep the uniform which
they are permitted to wear home, and
to wear that particular uniform, only,
provided some distinctive mark of
insignia, to be issued by the War
Department, shall be worn.
1t will thus be clearly seen that
