II Victor announcement
ON November second we announced
the Orthophonic Victrola, scientific
sound-producing instrument so revo-
lutionary in performance that the
public of this country as well as
eminent scientists and musicians
marveled at the Improvement
Its acceptance by the public was
instantaneous, and SO great is the de-
mand for our new product that even
with our huge factories working
overtime we have been able to sup
ply our dealers with only a small por-
ton of their immediate requirements.
We are rapidly increasing produc-
ton and expect soon to have the
situation in hand
May we, therefore, i'll behalf of our
dealers, ask your indulgence little
while longer,

ADVENTURES

Mister Blue Cap said to the Twins
as they stood before the painting in
the picture gallery, THAT picture is
called The Upton Coach. The land
lord is saying goodbye TO the young
lady and the coach is waiting to take
her on her journey. See--she is
Just about to step in. But come! We
shall go and meet her ourselvcs'.'
Mister Blue Cap unlocked the glass
door Of the picture and walked inside.
Then he bcckoncd for the children

ing to do-you may be sure.
The minute the glass was closed
again, the picture gallery disappeared
as usual, and the Twins and Mister
Blue Cap found themselves standing
in cobble-s stone courtyard in front
Of the Red Lion Inn.
The coach horses were stamping
impatiently and the driver was hand
ling his long whip and rcins in a
very ski!lful manner.
"Good-bye, milady.' the landlord
was saying. "God-speed and a safe

the good landlord quite a turn.

Selecting the winners Of tap
dance contest was, in the old days,
an art in Itself. Negro Judges sell
dom actually watched the contest.
They would get beneath the platform
and Judge entirely by the number Of
taps. the quality Of tapping and the
rhythmic value. This was done to
prevent the personality of the dancer
from blasting Judgment. There is
somn talk of reviving this custom in
the Broadway contest:
Speaking Of dancing, l was walk

pointed out Mrs. Elisha Dyer, in

merely the good lady who put the &c"

know what the "otillion was.
But in the days when society was
maze up OF ladies and gentlemen
and when Fifth avenue dwellers
would have tainted at the thought Of
business blocks and apartment houses
as next door neighbors, Nine Dyer
was sponsor of the cotillion. And her
husband. Harry Dyer, was Beau Brum-

The approach '0c oll age is right
L. viewed with considerable appre-
hen sion.
II j. d.ft.oa't to define old age.
Some ARG Oh at GO while others are
mentally and physically alert at 80
Even lhc lsalniat's "three score and
ton ,carS" have been accepted too
li.craN.;.
IT." "I," old a. forty" gospel has
no. helped to lispcl this idea. IT
is often said that ~ woman IS as
old as she looks, while u man IS AS
old as he feels"
The definition popular among med
ical men that "a man is as old as
his arteries" is probably better
criterion of age. The premature
hardening Of arteries, often due to
avoidable infections, improper diet
and possibly worry and strain, is to
considerable extent preventable.
There is too much of tendency
among persons reaching certain
age to persuade themselves that they
have reached the last page of the
book of life. At this point, they
seem to think that both mental and
physical activities should be reln-
quishcd. The contrary viewpoint
should hold.
Efforts should be made to preserve
such an equanimity of mind and pur-
pose that old age will become a pc
riod OF comfort and enjoyment. Old
age should be physiological change
OF not unpleasa SAINT nature.
Mental as we'll as physical diver
sion is essential to true happiness in
old age. The reading of current
newspapers and periodicals or Of
choice standard literature Of the past
is a definite antidote 70 tn" frequent
habit ot introspcction and the ten
dency Of the aged to des pond.
Sewing. weaving. simple carpentry,
or other lighJ manual occupations
requiring dexterity and mental ap-
plicaton are useful supple
measures. The inclusion Of the
elderly in social gatherings and
spirited conversations with younger
persons is often stimulating. IT
should not be felt that a person is no
longer entitled to an interest in lie
because he is old.
Radio broadcasting has opened up
n vista Of cnchantmcnt TO the aged.
With its Kaleidoscope changes of
