Ter to get labor when other work is
slack; second, the hardwood floor special
lists are not so busy as they are during
the summer months when new houses are
being completed every day, and, OF
course, this means work for the hardwood
floor men, as no home today Is consid-
cred complete unless it has hardwood
flooring.
Then this character OF work can be
done just as easily and readily IN the
winter months as any other time Of the
year. Cold, wet, disagreeable or stormy
weather means no delay whatever in this
work. We have found 1t possible to do
this work without the slightest delay this
winter and our force has been kept stead
lily busy throughout the year.
AS soon as spring opens and general
building activity is resumed we will be
pushed to our utmost capacity to take
care Of orders. We can see right now
what rush is only a few months ahead
of US. Any family intending to have the
hardwood floors Of It's home refinished or
repaired this spring win save world of
trouble by having the work done immedi-
ately and not delaying a month or more.
In the past, householders too frequent
~ have failed to give their floors proper
attention. sThey neglect them until they
have to be scraped or planed and great
amount OF costly work done that could
have been avoided by having the REIN
ishing done in time
But that day Is now passing rapidly
and the public is waking up more and
more to necessity OF maintaining floors
in as good condition as the rest Of the
home.
"Luxurieo Of yesterday have become the
necessities of today. A few years ago a
hardwood floor was a luxury. an extraya-
gance Today no home is considered
modern unless hardwood floors are used

NEW INSTRUMENT
MUSICAL MARVEL
Combines Violin and PIANO.
Operated by Electricity.

"A glance through musical annals
from the earliest times shows there al
ways has been a demand for music au-
tomatically produced. and 1t was only
after years and years OF failures and
disappointments attempt to supply the
demand finally eliminated in the piano
player" said II. D. Clutter, manager of
the indianapolis branch Of the Mills Nov
city Company Of Chicago, distributors
Of the the Violano- Virtuoso, the "electri-
cal mastery Of music"
Zone by one other instruments yiefSfed
to the assault of brains and sciences. -
Mr.. Clutter said, but the violin not being
fixed tone instrument and at best
yielding It's hidden harmonies grudging-
~ to even the exceptionally gifted human
player. steadfastly resisted all attempts
to subjugate is by mechanical means.
However, through the Violano-V ir-
tuoso this apparently Impossible feat
at last has been accomplished. And
visioning its commercial and educational
pOtentialities, Elman, the great musician,
said, I see a great future for this in
strument.'
"a decade or so ago the instrument
was but dream, a conception of an
impecunious Swedish genius. Henry San
Hell alter years OIL desperate sIFuSS ie
for recognition, Sandell finally found a
hacker In Herbert S. Mills. president of
the Mills Novelty Company. To the
automatic playing of the violin was ad-
ded piano part and after a long period
Of costly experimental work the Violano-
Nirtuoso at last was perfected.
The perfected instrument combined
the playing Of the violin with piano ac-
compartment through the agency OF
electricity. The instrument produces
solos, duets and quartette effects with
wonderful technique, correctness Of In
depreciation dramatic force and rare
tonal shading Of a great master musician.
One of the great features of this won
derful instrument is it may be played as
plano and violin. or as q piano or
violin separately, aud this is operated by
the same electric currents which Hight
yOur home.
The instrument has been received
Enthusiastically not only by hundreds Of
music loving householders, but by the
management of hotels, clubs, restaurants,
motion picture houses and theaters.
zone Of the most remarkable things
about it is that music can be changed
on = in much shorter time than can be
done by human orchestra.

With the coming Of spring there Is
bound to be a large Increase In the
amount Of building work to get under

Pearson, hardwood floor specialist, sos
Peoples Bank Building. A large part OF
this work will be along the lines Of re-
finishing, repairing and laying hardwood
floors in homes, and, as a matter Of fact.
an unusually large amount Of this hard
wood floor work has been done during
the winter months, he said
Wise householders have been taking
advantage of the winter months, when

 On the other hand the provisional mortality figures compiled for the first quarter of 1922, indicate lighter death rates than in the preceding year. The death rate for the first quarter of this year is 13.7 per thousand as against 12.6 year ago. This is for the entire country except for a few states which have not yet made their 1922 returns.

BISHOPS CONFER
 ON PRAYER BOOK CHANGES

Wednesday in the Protestant Episcopal church marked the beginning of the ses- sions of it's highest court-the House of Bishops-to consider a revision of the Book of Common Prayer. whcn has been in use for almost 400 years. The bishops opened a weeks informal con ference in Portland, Ore. at which trey will debate the proposed changes in that historic volume
 Nearly all of the active bishops are ex- pected to attend. They will be in confer ence right up to the opening of the For ty-seventh Triennial General Convention in Portland. next Wednesday,. The gen eral convention will continue three weeks.
 The purpose of the pre-convention meeting Is to give all the bishops an op- portunity to declare their views on the proposed changes so that these can be "ironed out to some unanimity of opin- ion" and thus save the convention, prop CT many long addresses.
 The chairman is Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, Bishop of Tennessee, president of the Council of The Episcopal church and chairman of the House of Bishops. At last reports Right Rev. Daniel Syl- vester Futile, Bishop of Missouri, and presiding bishop of the Episcopal church was not going to the pre-convention con ference. He is in his eighty-sixth year and wishes to save himself for the con yention proper. He will preside at the opening service next Wednesday morning Bishop Futile is opposed to the revi- sion of the Prayer Book.
 "Instead of all the claimed improve ment suggested" he said recently, q should rather prefer the Prayer Book unchanged in form and print and text and changed only in added broad-mind. edness and warm -heartedness and zeal. -spiritedness in it's use"
 Perhaps the proposed insertion which will cause the most heated debates is that of three prayers for the dead ;n the Burial Service and one prayer for the dead in one of the regular Sunday ser. vices.
 1 The marriage ceremony is to have tho "obey'' eliminated, and the bridegroom i. no longer to say with all my worldly goods I thee endow." Isaac and Rebec ] ca are from now on not to be held a. a couple that lived faithfully together o
 old, and the VOWS of the woman ant man are to be made identical.
