Another item of the report is worth
noting. IL will be seen that the total ex-

months has been only five dollars. This
feature of the Hospitals maintenance has
been the special care of the ladies of the

'RE-D|SCOvERS'
LOST ART Of
VIOLIN MAKING
Inventor Claims He Has Solved
Beautiful Tonal Effects OF
Stradivarius.

Since the death OF Antonius Stradi.
varius in 1877 reports have been
frequently circulated about the re.
discovery OF the ideal violin tone, as
well as of the revival Of the lost art
of violin making. One after another
these assertions (which carried with
them no reliability whatsoever) were
cast aside. In all parts of the world
violin makers endeavored to find the
secret, and despite earnest efforts
the results invariably proved disap.
pointing.
Julius d. Horvath, violin expert,
whose activities are well known to
Washington musicians, claims TO
have discovered the secret. His in.
vention. "Philamona." according TO
Mr.. Horvath's idea. enables the VIC.
linist to produce equally as beautiful
and sonorous tone as has been
possible heretofore only upon instru.
ments made by the-old italian master.
TO a representative Of the Musical
Courier. who spent a few pleasant
hours at the home of Mr.. Horvath,
the inventor said: "My claim is that
the Italian violin tone production ls
the result Of an intricate filling pro.
cess, which claim have entertained
since 1908. Under the term filling
process I mean that the entire violin
body was first coated. or rather
soaked, with certain fluid which
penetrated the seCretions of the wood,
creating flexibility and transforming
the entire violin body into sensitive
ness. After the filling has been ap-
piled the vanishing takes place.
Depending upon numberless and sat.
isfying experiments, have decided
to delived to the public the results
of my life work and have arranged a
violin contest recital to be given in
Aeolian Hall on the evening OF No.
vember 13. On this occasion I will
offer to the audience a convincing z
demonstration. The violinist, Michael
Banner, will first play upon his own
Stradivarius and repeat each selec-
ton upon my Philamona instrument.
