ALI Its Own Work
And Keeps at Il
New Device Enables Machine
to Play 5 Days Straight,
Using 1000 Rounds OF
Records, Inventor Asserts

Does 1t fatigue you unduly to wind
your phonograph, and do you simply
hate to rise and take the needle off
when the record comes to an endo If
So take heart, for the newest thing in
talking machines, demonstrated last
night by its inventor, does everything
you could think of, except eat, of its
own sweet accord
The maker is James 7. Slbiey. The
demonstration last night at the Offices
Of the U. S. E. CORPORATION, West
Slxty-tirst Street, was merely the start
OF five-day marathon for this auto
matte paragon. 1t is run by six dry
cells (no winding for the weary, and
the same batteries furnish ii with self
starting energy Ono starting for the
slothfuD. Some unnamed electrical eX-
pert had intimated to MIR. Sibley that
he didn't believe that six little cells
could do all this work and still hold
out for 1000 rounds of records, as guar
anteed in the contract. Hence the en-
durance test, and if all goes we'll the
machine that was started and sealed
last evening at 1928 will be opened and
stopped at 1928 p. m. naxt Tuesday.
Extreme persistence and automatic
action, however, are by no means the
only features of the machine. When
tne enQ OF record is reached another
automatic gadget lifts the needle arm
and swings it back to starting position.
This will cut off the current, if it is SO
desired, or if your ear would be de-
lighted by little more of the same
all that Is necessary is to set in ad-
vance pointer on a dial and the ma
chine will repeat up to six times Or
suppose that during the course of q
record you wish to hear certain
phase over again. In that case you
press button and the intelligent arm
lifts itself up, moves the needle back
and resumes the march at the place
where it was when the button regis
te1ed curiosity, All this the makers
eNrect to sell at the same price as or
dirary Photographs, and if great num-
bers of South Sea Islanders do not buy
this starting, self winding, self
setting and selfstopping wonder they
will no longer be able to say that
they are the foremost exponents of life
without labor

(Elizabethdown News)


The season for killing doves in
Kentucky is near at hand and soon
the hunters will be afeld engaged
in the slaughter of the innocents.
We believe that the dove should be
protected from the hunter like other
song birds. 1t is true that the dove
is not much of a sOngster, but his
soft, mOurnful note is not unpleas-
ant and it seems to typify the bird.
Of all the bird family the dove
represents the gentlest. 1t was the
dove which brought back to Noah in
the ark the olive branch signifying
that the flood was abating. At the
baptizing at the Jordan, when the
Son of Man suffered himself to be
baptized of John, the Spirit of God
in the form of a dove descended and
lighted upon His head with the
voice saying, This is my beloved Son
in whom I am we'll pleased" The
dove has been the emblem of peace
in all history and nothing more
perfectly represents it.
The dove is the farmers friend
and not his enemy. He destroys
more insects that prey upon the
crops than he does grain and in our
opinion he should be protected from
the hunters. Killing doves is moth
ing less than the murder of the in
nOcentS.
