(Visiters at Arsenal.
Among the visiting officers at the

General E. B. Babbitt General

"what will we do thenr The ter
ritory which lies between thejtock
river aad the MleelaetMt will even

Island will lose 1U opportunity to
porch that land. Mr. Dibbern
says he refers mainly to the 300
acres north of the Watch Tower,
which be says has never been
plowed and is over-grown with un
derbrush and is generally covered
by "the most beautiful native trees
I have ever seen anywhere."

Time For Action Short
"The time for action is getting i
very short the land will be cut up!
into small lots anl our chance will j
be forever lost" Mr. Dibbern writes
to The Argus. I
"I notice in The Argus a goodi
deal is said about enlarging and
beautifying our present parks. This
is a step in the right direction but '
it does not go far enough.- Our.
parks are very nice and are well :

At a very 'moderate expense this

Perhaps you've seen it Signor
Friscoe's "Magic v Xylophone
Act
It's the hit of vaudeville's
"Big-Time."
Signor Friscoe's "magic" is an
Official Laboratory Model of
the New Edison. We have one
exactlyiike it
Signor Friscoe's instrument is
an exact duplicate of the origi
nal Official Laboratory Model,
vhich cost Mr. Edison three
million dojlars to perfect Our
instrument is also an exact
duplicate of this famous three
million dollar original. We '
guaraniee it to be able to give
the same marvelous Re- $
Creations of music, which
Signor Friscoe's Official Labor
atory Model gives in vaudeville.'
Come in and test the astonish
ing realism of this instrument
for yourself in Mr. Edison's
Realism Test.
2& NEW EDISON
" The Phonograph with Soul"
You've read how the New Edison has proved
its perfect realism. Four thousand tests have
v been given, in which more than 50 different
artists compared their art with its Ri
Caxanox by the New Edison. Leading
newspapers conceded that there was no dif- -ference
between the two.
Has any one suggested to you that these
comparison tests are " faked " that the
artist imitates the New Edison f
f Signor Friscoe's performance makes such an
assertion positively ridiculous. Every week,
20,000 people see his hammers ripple over
the xvlophone keys. Suddenly he holds them
aloft still ,
The rippling music continues.
Slowly, the gorgeous curtains of the back
drop part. The audience gasps. The New
Edison stands revealed. It has taken up
Signor Friscoe's performance, and if now
Rk-Cbjiatikc it alone. The effect of this
extraordinary magic can rest upon only on
fact: No one can distinguish any difference
between Signor Friscoe's performance and
its Rs-Cbxatiox by the New Edison. Signor
Friscoe could not possibly imitate the New
Edison, because the xylophone can not be
made to imitate any other instrument, so ai
to deceive i!j hearers.
Signor Friscoe's act is not an Edison enter
prise: He has simply been clever enough
to use the New Edison for what it is worth.
Why don't you?
PRICES
The price cf the New Edison has increased
less than 15 since 1914. This includes
the War Tax.
Mr. Edison has staved off price advances
w personally absorbing more than half of
the increased cost of manufacture.
Because of the exceptionally high quality
of materials and workmanship demanded
by the Edison Laboratories, and the con
tinued scarcity of both, it may be necessary
to advance prices. But rest assured that
this will not occur,' unless Mr. Edison ii
forced to it.
-Our Budget Plan the thrift way of spend
ing will help you buy now. Let us tall
you about it.
