an artistic success. and J. y. & l. }.

curing these capable and charming
artists for an appearance here
Probably a number OF people who
attended were at first puzzled and
disappointed when they discovered Il

center OF the stage. They were soon
re-assured when Miss Spencer appear
ed and sang in unison with her rec
ord. Lullaby" from Joeelyn. II is
said that an audience could not tell
the difference between the re-created
and the living voice Many persons
are skeptical Attempt to match
that glorious voice with a device Of
mere wood and metal Impossible!
They were soon convinced for in the
first number on the program her
lips ceased to move. but the song
went on Slowly it dawned on the
mystiied audience that Miss Spen-
Ger was no longer singing, though her
voice came forth as clear and sweet
as ever. 1t seemed as though there
We're two artists on the stage. TWO
singers but only one voice The tone
emanating from the New Edison were
identical with those of tile living
artist, and il was impossible 10 de-
tect any difference.
In the course OF the evening other
tests were made by Miss CoT1ette. who
is finished pianist and yiolinist.
Miss Gollette makes records of piano
solos and accompanies herself while
playing violin or. piano solos Won
derfully interesting and finely eXecu-
ted numbers, which were a delight to
all who listened.
During the evening, Miss Spencer
sang duets with herself ''Loye's Old
Sweet Song" and later Happy Days,
the harmony was beautiful It is a
rather unusual thing TO be singing a
duet with ones self During the
My Heart At Thy Sweet
Voice" the light were turned off and
the audience was TO guess which one
was singing When the lights We're
turned on Miss Spencer had left the
stage and il was found the Edison had
done the trick
The last Two numbers were given
by Miss Spencer accompanied on the
piano by Miss Collette. they were very
given and showed the
wonderful range of her voice No
thing but words of praise were heard
on all sides as the audience dispersed

INSURANCE MEN INTERESTED

Electric light, telephone, gas and
stheet railway companies have been
the pioneers in developing the GUS
tom and employe-ownership idea of
stocks and bonds of these companies.
They have popularized their Sc
curities to such an extent through
sound management and consistent
earnings that other companies are
now considering the idea when new
capital is needed to take care OF in
creasing demands for service.
Commenting on the method of fl
nancing, the Insurance Field says:
"Fire insurance companies have not
sought to sell their stock to their
customers but there is growing
tendency to interest their agents fl
nancially in the companies they rep
resent. This trend is shown by the
recent action of the Glenns Falls
company in offering $4,000 shares
of stock to it's agents and is reflect
ed in the action of other companies
which have reduced the par value of
their shares so as to make them
more easily purchasable by their
agents and thus secure an added in
terest in the welfare of their COM
pany."
Utilities have made big success
of this policy and there is no rea-
son why insurance companies which
today furnish service which is a
public necessity, cannot encourage
their employees and customers to be-
come stockholders and partners in
the business.
As insurance agents become stock
holders in insurance companies they
will realize more keenly that insur.
ance companies make net profit by
mot having fires" They will become
more interested in helping insur
ance companies preach fire proven
ton and in refusing to take bat
risks merely to get premiums.
