Machine-Mode Breath
Big Aid to Musicians

We are told that the human wind
power is capable Of a continued sound
emission owe not more than three or
four bars Of music. Yet many operas
have sustaiped passages Of many
o bars. In order to aid players Of
wind instruments In the orchestras
and bands to overcome the difficulties
Incident to playing such passages. an
inventor has devised what is known
as the "aerphOr." The device con-
sists Of a foot bellows, containing a
water chamber and electric-light bulb,
from which the air. moistened and
warmed to the degree Of the human
breath. is forced through a length of
rubber tubing equipped with a stop
valve to a mouthpiece fitted Into the
corner of the mouth. AS the soft pal
ate of the player IS automatically
closed while he plays, he receives the
artificial current Of air. which circles
around In the mouth and out through
the lips to the m%outhpiece Of the in
strument. No only may he sustain
the tom of the instrument, but he max
perform h most ornate cadenza,
while he breathes through his nostrlls

Turkey Introduced to
England 800 Years Ago

Tradition has It that the frst turkey
was brought to England by one Of Sc
bastian Cabot's chief lieutenants. This
Is supported by the fact that William
Strickland, who accompanied Cabot
on several Of his voyages. adopted a
turkey rampant as his crest on being
granted arms In 1861.
At any rate the popularity of the
turkey as the principal Item in the
Christmas dinner menu has lasted
well over 300 years. But II you think
that the title turkey has anything
to do with the country Of that name
you are mistaken. The bird Is a ma
tive of North America, where 1t was
discovered by the early Spanish navi-
gators.
Exactly how 1t got its name Is a
mystery. Some authorities suggest
that the bird christened itself by Its
constant reiteration of a sound that
resembles "turk-turk-turk."
When you are tackling your turkey
you may like to remind the company
that the birds succulent meat was so
highly esteemed by Sixteenth century
churchmen that. by Archbishop
Cramer's orders, only lone dish of
turkey cocks" was permitted at feasts
md banquets.-London Tit-Bits.

LOBBY PROBE
now ORDERED

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - The
Senate has ordered an Investigation
to determine whether lobbyists have
been influencing acts of Congress.
Senator Reed started the ball roll
ing for the probe when on January
8 he presented a resolution calling
for an official investigation into the
lobbying and propaganda to
which it is charged, members OF
Congress are being subjected in be-
half of various pieces of pending
legislation.
It was estimated by sponsors OF
the resolution that there are nc
less than 200 organizations and in
diyiduals in and around the CAPT
tol. working for specific legislation
whose activities would come within
the scope of the Reed resolution
Virtually every major industry in
the country maintains a national or
ganization here to look out" for its
interests.
The principal hackers of the Reed
resolution, however. are aiming at
two specific inquiries-one into tho
organized drive by business inter-
ests against any changes being
made in the Mellon tax reduction
plan, and one into the organized
drive by church federations, peace
societies and women's organizations
in favor of the world court and tho
League of Nations.
