At Last, an Unbreakable Record Vincent Lopez with one of the new records. Not since Henry Ford announced' his new model car has a commercial product attracted so much attention as was given a new type phonograph record on its introduction recently. It was offered in scores of retail establishments never before featur ing musical goods. The unusual properties of the record, and its unique series of outlets piqued the curiosity of local residents, who, in tending to purchase magazines or fruit, or to have their shoes shined, left stores with records under their arms. The new disc is the first commer cial application of durium, a new chemical substance discovered recent ly by Dr. Hal T. Beans, professor of ch* mistry at Columbia University. Radical improvements made possible by the use of this substance in the disc are expected to revolutionize the phonograph record industry, for the new records can be bent like card board and are shatter-proof. Because of their unbreakable qualities, the records sell like magazines, a new issue being offered once each week at all stores handling newspapers and ►magazines. In appearance, the record is the same size as ordinary discs, but is amber in color. It is the thickness of light cardboard, and is surfaced with durium on one side only. It can, its makers claim, be hammered on a flat surface without shattering, or can be • scratched without impairing the tone of the recording. A match applied to the durium surface leaves only a black mark, whereas the old fashioned record would melt and warp under such treatment. While the standard seventy-five cent record requires time to harden when bein:, made, durium hardens immediately on application of heat. As a result, six of the new records can be stamped out at a time from metal discs at the speed of a print ing press. Record making will be speeded up by the new process un til production is one hundred times faster than by the old method, its discoverer claims. This speed of pro duction allows sale of the record at one-fifth the established price, he says. "Here’s How He Got Rid Of His Toothache! The young gentleman kept a large tube of toothpaste on a convenient shelf in his room. However, for weeks at the time he neglected brushing his teeth. And as if in re taliation for his negligence, one by one cavities developed in his molars. Time passed. But he put off con-| suiting j, dentist. Thus one of the coldest ' blizzards of that winter caught him in a forlorn position. He was miles from any town one night. One of his jaw teeth started to punishing him before d a y 1 i g h t. Throughout that day he lived in throbbing agony. Night came and he had found no relief • from his misery. Toothache drops, alcohol, rendered him no relief. Even rinsing his mouth repeatedly with hot water in which salt and soda had been dissolved failed to stop his suffering. So, fill ing the cavity of his tooth with cot ton and snuff, he W’ent to bed. “Perhaps.’' he thought, "my tooth’ll quit hurting when I go to sleep." But go to sleep, he couldn’t. The throbbing tooth continued to dis pense misery. So he rolled and groaned. “Toothpaste,” he finally reflected, “might give me some relief. It’s recommended for the health of the teeth and gums. So I’ll just get up and brush my teeth and see what happens.” He arose and applied toothpaste to his teeth. The saliva or spittle it produced was held in his mouth several moments before it was dis charged. Thus, having employed this novel toothache remedy, he went back to bed and soon knew relief.
