PLAYING TIME INCREASED

BY controlling the speed Of re-
volving photograph RECORD, an En-
glish inventor gets 20 minutes az
music on one side of 12-inch
record instead of the usual four min
utes or thereabouts. according to an
illustrated article in the Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. When the record
disk revelyes at a uniform angular
speed IS at present, the outer groove
OF the record moves more swiftly
than any other groove that Is nearer
to the center. Thus. although the
outer groove is about four times as
long as.the inner one, ii can contain
no more music, making necessary a
variation In the recording speed In
the new method. the recording speed
is made constant. and by correspond
ingly controlling the speed OF the
record, the impression upon it of a
very much greater number Of sound
vibrations is made possible

Zone Trick Day"
THE ASCENDING RING

Before presenting this illusion
fasten to one end of a wand a piece
of black silk thread and attach the
other to the lapel of the coat.
Now drop a heavy gold ring over
the wand and consequently over the
thread.
Care must be taken that the au-
dience does not see the thread, and
for this reason it Is advisable to
stand quite ways back from the
spectators and the trick can be made
more mysterious IL the performer
stands In corner that Is not too
brightly lighted.
Now the ring may be made to climb
up and down the wand by simply
moving the wand farther away from
the body. In response to sharp tug
the ring can be made to jump right
off the wand.
Next: The ring and egg trick.

who comes to carry out the bIue-prints

is the Army of Industry, at Newcastle,

fruit with us for some of our home
grown and homemade products. They
have cut their price in atwo and infer
that if this isn't fair, they will do more.
Now, just take it from me-those peo-
pie, have the spirit and we will prove
to them we appreciate their generos-
! ity. No, they didn't investigate US
they just JUMPED in and are helping
because their cause and ours is one
and the same. That is what will bring
the cooperative commonwealth. Con-
fidence, unselfishness, and mutual SER
vice. If more of you would only do
all you can, our task would not be so
difficult. And, if you once get inter-
ested in rendering useful service in a
great cause, all other things fall away
too small to be noticed. These are
many, many ways in which you can
help, and really become interested in

the worlds problems. | don't want
any Of you to forget that we are still

KipIinR Was Right

When Kipling observed that the
female of the spee-she's more dead
ly than the male" or words 10 that
effect, he knew whatof he spoke.
A man meeting an acquaintance
wearing a new hat generally opens
the conversation with: "For the love
of Mike, where did you get that
lid?"
A woman meeting a feminine ac-
duaintance under the same circum-
stances merely COOS: "Oh, my dear,
what a charming hat you're wear
ing-positively fascinating And so
becoming! never saw anything
so beautifulllp'-and so on for ten
minutes without repeating herself.
Such a thing as casual kidding
and uncompl:mentary conversation
in general is unknown among the
ladies. They won't stand for it.
Try and see.
A man coming from the barber
shop expects some such greeting as
this What have you been having
a haircut or a harvest? Looks as If
they'd run a lawn mower over you.
A woman fresh from her favorite
beauty parlor gets mad If her friends
don't rave about her perfect mar
eel. Try and see.
Did you ever see a man offended
because some one declined TO smoke
his brand of cigars or cigarettes. To
be told, "No, ! don't care for that
rope" or, Nothing doing, III smoke
my own" doesn't ruffle a mans
temper.
But imagine woman doing like
wise with a box Of bon bons. The
sparks would fly If the one 90 whom
they were offered were TO turn up
her nose and sniff: "Oh, my dear, ]
simply can't stand that candy YOU
buy. How can you endure IT," OR
this. "You still eating that cheap
stuff? Not for me, thanks; III eat
my own"
It's simply not being done
