Building Business
Your Money is One of
the Most Powerful Influences that
Comes into Your Hands
Ceaselessly it) works for
good or for evil.
Owes you accept it, you
cannot evade its influ
ence, you cannot dodge
your accountability.
Few seem to realize, un
til it is too late, how
?itally the use of their
money affects their entire
lives.
A wrong attitude leads
inevitably to disaster and
ruin.
Carelessness with ref
erence to money always
results in loss and regrets.
Ahead of you are self
respect or remorse; suc
cess or failure; prosperity
or poverty.
So much depends on how
you use your money.
Money brings great re
sponsibility, but also won
derful opportunity.
Handle it with care and
judgment, and it will
serve you as a powerful
ally.
It will help you to ob
tain every good thing
that you need and wish.
Its magic touch will open
up for you the door to
prosperity and haziness.
Consider the value of
your money.

'TRICK ON HARDING'
PUT BEFORE BANTON
J. A. Myers of Constitutional
League Says lie Stuads
by Wets.
ANDERSON IS DISPUTED
He Wants District Attorney
to Look Into Financial Af
fairs of Man He Accuses.
Reposlng on the desk of District At
torney Banton is a letter from William
H. Anderson. State Superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, requesting an
investigation of the Constitutional
League of America, and especially of
Jerome A. Myers, its national director,
who admits he has been a volunteer
worker for the Association Opposed to
the Prohibition Amendment.
Mr. Anderson on Sunday charged that
President Harding, members of his
Cabinet and other prominent men had
been duped into sponsoring the use of
their names by the Constitutional
League, which he said was supposed
to function in informing the public of
patriotic matters but actually was the
tool of the wet elements.
William de Korest Manlce, treasurer
of the league, with headquarters at'
1M2 Broadway, said his organization
would welcome an inquiry by the Dis
trict Attorney and branded as false
the charges made by t'ho dry leader.
He added that legal action against Mr.
Anderson would be taken up later.
"I shall continue to uld the Associa
tion Opposed to the 1'rohtbition Amend
ment," ?aid Mr. Myers, "As an Amer
ican citizen I have a right to my j>er
sonal opinions, and in no way d<> those
personal opinions affect my work as
national director of tho Constitutional
League of America. I aiu in accord
with the objects of the association at
tacked by Mr. Anderson, and will aid
In its membership rally."
Jesse Lincoln Browner, editorial ad
visor of the league, said he luui been a
oonflrmed adherent of prohibition for
more than ten years and that the per
sonal opinions of members of the organ
ization on the prohibition question* are
counted a? of no importance.
"If the Constitutional League ha<l as
it* object the abolishment or the Eigh
teenth Amendment I would have lost
my job long ago." declared OJr. Bn>n
mr. "Mr. Anderson without a vestige
of proof 'Ittid assailed an organisation
which is clean, wholaeom" and uniin.
callable an the slightest investigation
will demonstrate."
Mr. Anderson's letter to Mr. Banton,
who is out of the city, said;
"Mr. Myers, the director of this Con
stitutional League, confronted with the
facts, now admits hi* activity In behalf
of the Association Opposed to the 4*ro
liiblton Amendment, whose primary pur
pose Is to nullify the Constitution by the
repeal of the Federal legislation without
which It would be of no effect. We were
advleed at the ofllce of this Constitu
tional Litiague that, although it purport*
to uphold the Constitution as a whole, It
is? In fact opposod to a part of the Con
stitution, taking the same attitude a a Its
director."

PERIOD DESIGNS
'ZMy Birthday Qift Supreme!"
rrA Phonograph?by far the most musical one I've
ever heard. A Period Vocation?a charming Queen
Anne cabinet which harmonizes so beautifully with
my drawing room. A Library of Vocalion Records
?'their warm, ruddy color distinguishes them and
what splendid records they all are!'*
B
I OB and I are both crazy about
though neither of us
can play or sing. So when
we moved into our rdbmier apart
ment, our need for a musical instru
ment loomed larger than ever.
"Came my birthday. At Bob's
query as to what I would like, I sug
gested a phonograph. He hinted at
something 'more personal* ? furs,
perhaps. My wish prevailed, how
ever, and ? personal! Why my
Vocalion is the most delightfully
personal gift I've ever received!
"We have chosen the furniture
for our room with great care, of
ccurse. Queen Anne pieces mostly
in soft brown mahogany. You can
imagine my joy when I saw a
stunning Queen Anne
Period Vocaiion that
just puts the finish
ing, harmonious
touch to the whole
room. I had never
dreamed of a phono
? -y graph so beautiful to
look it? and speaking
of dreams ?
"Its tone, from the first, seemed to
me far finer than any phonograph I
had ever heard. The low tones had
a new richness and 'body.* The upper
ones a delicious new purity. The music
of the Vocalion withal, seemed so re
fined and so very, very real! There
was no blast, no mechanical noise of
any kind. Just Music! Violin, orchestra,
voice, band; not as from a disc and
needle, but as from the very instru
ments themselves!
"I never cease to marvel at the
phonograph as an invention
and the perfection of the Vo
cation's reproduction out
marvels the invention
itself.
"It wasn't until the
day after it arrived that
the full possibilities of
my new gift dawned upon
me. Tne salesman had
demonstrated the Graduola
to Bob and he showed me what
he knew about it?but the
significance of this delightful tone
controlling feature I never realized
until I sat down alone and took the
Graduola in my hand.
"It was along about dusk. I put
on a record of May Peterson singing
?Carry Me Back to Old Virginny.'
A slight movement of the Graduola,
and there came a subtle shading

to 'pianissimo.' A light, quick
move of the fingers accented delicately
a note?a steadier pressure brought
a full, swelling 'crescendo.' The
thrill, the fascination of it I cannot
desenbe.
"It was almost as if / were singing.
My heart sang, anyway, and when Bob
came in he said my eyes shone with
a new happiness. I cannot understand
anyone buying a phonograph
without this playing feature.
"What fun ?to be able
to put the same snap
and verve into the mu
sic of a Fox-Trot that
I feel when I am
dancing!
"What happiness ?to
be able mould the glorious
cadences of countless musical
masterpieces to my own mood!
"With its Graduola the Vocation
is more than a phonograph. It is a
placable musical instrument of in
estimable value; for it has brought
the glow and life of musical ex
pression to us, who love music, yet
heretofore have never known
