longer the ecora would be different, as
the high school boys were within ten,
yards of a touchdown and going strong.
For the high school the whole team
t laved good and no individual playf?rs

the creation of the child, I believe, the
thing nearest our heart after all is our
ambitions for them, our children. What
will my child be?
We air want them better than our
selves. We hate our own weaknesses
we see cropping out in them and take
heart when a good - characteristic
showa forth, we dreamed of what they
might be even before they were bon,
not being aware perhaps of what great
influence we might have had in shap
ing their natural tendencies, that we
might have had the kind we desired
them to be. if we had understood the
value of pre-natal cuture to enable'us
to wed out the undesirable in our
cwn characters, leaving the best of
our physical, mental , and spiritual
natures to pass on as a legacy to our
children. An asset which is the right
of every child. If he had put as much
thought on our child being well born as
the farmer does in raising thorough
bred stock, the world could . -boast of
more' men and jvomen born great. We
put our produce upon the world's mar
ket with our own brand whether it be
good or not, bat let us take heart in
fact that hereditary characteristics are
not merciless and unchangeable they
can be eradicated or strengthened,
eliminating the old bug-a-boo theory
that a child has to be whit he is. We
are all interested in what way we Ciin
make good with our children, we have
placed them here and are responsible
for what they are. How can we re
create them?

Big Audience at Liberty Theatre Hears
Helen Clark and Joseph Phillips
in EDISON-Tone Test
In a test of direct comparison, made Tuesday night at the
Liberty Theatre, before a large' audience j the New Edison
scored a complete and convincing triumph.
Helen Clark, the famous contralto, sang in direct com
parison with the Re-Creation of her voice by the New Edi
son. To every ear, there was no difference between her
living voice and her Re"Created voice.
This is the most drastic phonograph test known. No
other phonograph has ever sustained it. No other pho
nograph has even attempted it.
The New Edison's marvelous performance Tuesday
vindicates everything that has been said or claimed for its
perfect realism.
Helen Clark stood on the stage next to a shapely
Chippendale cabinet. She began to sing. Her golden
notes soared over the auditorium, bringing all under its
magic spell.
Halfway through her song, she suddenly stopped sing
ing. The New Edison, at her side, took up her song,
and continued it alone.
Singer and phonograph thus alternated, throughout
the song.
The only way the audience could be sure which was
singing, was by watching . Miss Clark's lips, so exactly
like the living voice was the Re-Created voice.
'Joseph Phillips made the same test of comparison with
the Re-Creations of his baritone selections. Again the
same result there was no difference between the Re
created voice and the living voice.
Proof was piled upon proof ! Evidence was massed on
evidence! The end of the concert found the audience
absolutely and completely convinced, through its own per
sonal experience, that there is no difference between an
artist's living performance and its Re-Creation by the New
Edison, that listening to the New Edison is, in literal
truth, the same as listening to the living artists.
Tie NEW
EDISON
The Phonograph With a Soul"
Only one question, can still bother your mind.' This question we now
answer.
The instrument used in Tuesday's tests was not a special model. It
was an Official Laboratory Model, taken from regular stock. Every
Official Laboratory Model in our stock is guaranteed to sustain the same
test of direct comparison with living artists.
You can have an Official Laboratory Model in your hoine. You can
' own an instrument which will do everything done Tuesday in the test.
Come in. Hear the wonderful Official Laboratory Model for youreslf.
Learn about our Budget Plan, which puts our Official Laboratory Model .
into your home for no more than you would "pay down" for a talking
