TllE development of the phonograph in
L the years that have passed since its
invention has been extraordinary From a
toy talking machine to seriously regarded
instrument for the reproduction of music
has been rapid step.
1T has been the mission of The Aeolian
Company to contribute in large measure
to the musical development of the phono-
graph The two basic factors by which
musical quality is judged in c5vvv musical
instrument. namely, tone and tonc-controI,
have been brought by this Company in it's
phonograph, the Acolian-\ ocalion, to a
degree of excellence far in advance of any
thing hitherto known in the industry.
Tone
TNHE tonal superiority of the .Aeolian-
Vocation is everywhere conceded
Both here and abroad this instrument has
received a recognition by musical authOri-
ties accorded to no other of it's kind.
Even in far away Australia the Aeoan
Vocation has won supremacy as evidenced
by its recent selection, after exhaustive tests.
for use in the leading musical conservatory
of the commonwealth
These tests, which were conducted bv a
committee of teachers accustomed to de-
tecting the most subtle faults in musical
production, resulted in unanimous verdict
in favor of the Vocation, though all the
best known monographs available were
examined and though the Vocation, in that
country, cost more than any other.

Other Important Advantages
14LTO M4TIC Stop. The importance
of an efficient automatic stop will appeal
strongly to anyone who has experienced the
inconvenience of having to go to the in
strument to stop it every time the music
ceases. The automatic stop used on the
Aeolian-\ ocalion is easy to ADJUST positive
in action and wholly satisfactory in its
results.
IM5stSul Ioue-Avm No one who owns
a phonograph wishes to be limited to records
of one particular make. The field of rec
ord-naklng is now so broad that not to be
able to play all standard records is decided
and VeNng limitation
The universal tone arm used on the
Aeolian-N Nocalon provides a method which
by single turn of the wrist puts the needle
in a correct position to play any standard
make of record
Beauty of Appearance Vocation cases
in upright models are distinguished by the
artistic simplicity of their design and the
richness and depth of their finish. Vocation
Period cases are in a class quite by them
selves, paralleling the best efforts of modern
furniture Makers and furnishing critical
and wel-informed buyers with monographs
of distinguished appearance and authentic
design at exceedingly moderate prices.

Much has been said relative TO the condition of the
tire industry Rumors have been ahoa that prices would
be raised, firms failing, etc. etc., ad bltum Here
the true facts viewed in the hub of the industry
Akron, Ohio:
There has been unquestonably cut IN the working
forces by of the larger tire companies This started
early last May The figures show that since June
to the present time there has been about $4,000 employees
put out of employment This means about an average
of third in plants and twothrds in others The
reason is not far to seek.
Immense stocks of all kinds of tires in the
houses, while working hours have been reduced gener
ally Goodyear running three shifts on hveday basis,
Frestone operating but two shifts well as Miller
But despite optimistic statements by executives 1t is
impossible to find any practicable signs to indicate that
the low point has been reached in regard to curtaiment
it is simply asserted that the employment departments
have ceased hiring
On the other hand T. w. Litchfed, factory manager
of Goodyear and its vice president recently made state
ments before the Industrial Assembly in which is said
that the low water mark in tire production had been about
reached and the tire surplus hand was
absorbed the production would swing upward again. and
that September would improvement in all condi-
tiOns.
One of the reasons for the rumors that have been
flying about due TO the fact that lack of consideration
has been given to the upsweep OF demand that
came after the signing of the armstce and there must
have been of necessity peak which this demand should
reach 1t has undoubtedly reached this peak and is
declining to normal conditions. This is it should be,
as neither the automobile manufacturer the tire
panies could continue working longer on such forced
draft.
There will be constantly certain average number of
tires to eoup them Time is not far distant when this
normal average will be reached and the figures based on
the past year and oneha and including present by
no indicative of serious conditions IN the tire
industry business.
No basis whatever can be found for the statement
that the price of tires will be cut by of the tire
facturers.

BEARINGS
ARE INJURED BY WATER

prominent bearing manufacturer
calls attention to the fact that the use
OF impure oils. and carelessness In
washing the running gear and other
parts OF automobiles. are things WHICH
have a very detrimental effect upon
the bearings, which do not get half
the attention they deserve anyway.
Many cases OF failure OF wheel bear

Twenty miles an hour. Henry"
says Mrs. Jones. sweetly.
"Yes'm." says Henry.
The speedometer behaves for two
miles and we swing around a bend
in the road. Henry carefully clings
to his own side OF the highway. but
that isn't quite good enough.
I'm deathly afraid OF that curve"
confdes Mrs. Jones and then address,
ing her husband, Walter, / wish
you would speak to Henry about

Don't get careless on the curves.
Henry" interrupts Mr.. Jones You
know there was a bad accident back
there Ave years ago"
"Yes, sir" says Henry.
We reach the outskirts Of the town
without any more narrow escapes.
The pavement is broken and full OF
holes. Henry slows down and lodges
skillfully, but a man on bicycle
couldn't miss all OF them and we
finally sink into a deep one.
Watch the bumps, Henry" eau
tions Mrs. Jones.
Henry swings over onto the car
tracks to dodge particularly bad
stretch OF paving and manages to
gain about nifty yards bcfore being
tackled from the rear.
Car tracks, Henry cautions Mr..
Jones.
Yes. SIR" says Henry. and so we
go back to the side Of the road and
bump the bumps.
But finally the cross street swings
into Broad, where the tide OF the
traffic stops and starts at the COM
mand Of the semaphore. So far 1t has

SOMETHING HAPPENED.
And then things happened. We
were approaching the boulevard's
busiest crossing. speed about ten miles
per hour. and the semaphore sivine
us the right of way. The first thing
I noticed was the groaning of the
emergency and a jolt that threw me
forward in the seat. The traffic ofh-
Ger had suddenly thrown the signal
to stop" but he had failed to take
us into consideration. We were half
across the intersecting street The
roar OF a siren and the changing or
aones signaled the approach of the
fire apparatus. Mr.. Jones swore. Mrs.
Jones screamed and I was stricken
dumb and seized with paralysis.
Henry worked fast. on went the
brake. the gear lever slam ned into
second. the engine raced as the accei-
orator hit the floor board. and when
the clutch came home we jumped
twenty feet to safety. laundering,
roaring red truck missed our rear fen
ders by few inches.
BECOMES COHERENT.
We rolled along for another block
before the Joneses really became CO.
hrrent. And then Henry did catch IT..
Perhaps he didn't want to miss
word OF the good advice he was get
ting, for he pulled over to the curb
and stopped. He slid out from under
the wheel and stepped down to the
sidewalk with wave of his hand
he indicated the car.
Drive 1t to suit yourself. I'm

Henry"

I'll take all the running directions

Henry touched his hat to the
Jone.es for the last time. My knees
were still shaking, but 7 managed to
get the car home.

from the rear seat. The truth is
that Henry gets more coaching from
the rear seat than l ever heard from

really is the point OF the whole story.
