Odd Musical Instruments.

The ordinary handsaw has appeared
as musical instrument. One seeker
after novelties uses saw as VIOLIN
After long experience and untiring
practice he has actually succeeded in
getting an agreeable music from the
tool.
He holds the saw handle between
his legs, holds the tip of the saw in
one hand, and works the usual violin
bow with the other. The vibrating
steel blade emits soft, appealing notes,
the pitch of which is varied by chang
ing the curvature of the blade. All
sorts of queer effects can be got by
adept manipulation of the blade
Sometimes the music resembles the
human voice; again it has the weird
wall of the Hawaiian ukulele.

Stricken suddenly Ill few hours
after he had been arrested on a
charge of drunkenness, Amos Josslyn,
twenty-five years old, q soldier living
at ZIG 9Th street northwest. was
taken from the sixth precinct police
station yesterday to Casualty Hospi-
tai where he died late In the evening.

poison whisky.
Josslyn was found wandering
around the street by Policeman w.

ing placed in a cell he developed
acute nausea, which continued so
severe that his removal to the hospi-
tai became necessary. The soldier
lapsed into unconsciousness a few
minutes after arriving there and
never again revived to tell the au-
thorities what had happened to him
prior to his arrest.

found in the mans clothing, will be

the outline of a measure he would

IL his administration were under the

what occurred between the 18th day

his political opinions; equally, of

is connected with Henry Ford's Dear

charges that Mr.. Ford came out for
Coolidge for President in order to
get what he wanted at Muscle Shoals
Mr.. Miller reported that in q pri-

about two months prior to Mr. Ford's
visit to the White House. when, it has
been charged by some, the alleged
trade" was said to have been made,
Mr.. Ford told Miller that he was for

pressed himself in much the Same
manner, Mr.. Miller said, as ne disi in

idge for President in 1924.
Mr.. Ford's alignment with the Cool
idge forces had absolutely no con-

to Mr.. Miller. Mr.. Miller had his com

the President until December 6.
