If asked to name Britain's com- monest bird, most people would readily give the first place to the sparrow, but this distinction be- longs to the meadow-pipity or tit- scientist. lark, according to Mr, BE. M. Nichol. son, of Hertford College, Oxford. It' is generally believed that there are millions of sparrows in the County of London, but their population is computed at 400,000 in that area, and 'if Londoners were not great bird-lovers, two-. thirds of the Metropolitan spar- rows and pigeons would be unable to subsist, 6,000 SCHOOL CHILDREN GREET THEIR EXCELLENCIES Moose Jaw, Sask, May 14.-- Greeted by hundreds of eitizeps and 6,000 school children, Their Excellencies, Viscount: and Vis- countess Willingdon visited Moose Jaw for three hours today and par- cipateq in several clvie ceremon- es. ! and Wagens to clear at cost, ' Everybody should own a Bi- cycle, Cash or Terms.

THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1928 ATH ANNIVERSARY OF GRAMOPHONE Was First Demonstrated in Public on May 16, 1888 'Washington, D.C., May 16.--At his home heer today Emile Berlin. er, scientist, philanthropist and iu- ventor of the disc talking ma- chine, quietly celebrated the 40th ahniversary of his first mblic in- troduction of the dise gramophone. The inventor was the recipient of congartulatory telegrams from many parts of the globe. On May 16th, 1888, Mr. Berlin- er stood before a group of dis- tinguished scientists gathered to- gether at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and gave them a lec- ture and a demonstration of his new invention, the disc gramo- phone. Mr, Berliner at that time made some statements regarding the development of sound repro- duction which were just as unbe- lievable by the general public as the possibility of a trip to Mars 1s still today. His Instrument had gcarcely come out of the labora- tory, yet here are some of the pre- dictions made by this far-seeing Bach one of them has come true, In 1888, forty years ago, he said among other things: "A standard reproducing appar- atus, simple in construction and easily manipulated, will, at a mod- erate selling price, be placed on the market. "Those having one may then buy an assortment of phonauto- grams (now known as records), to be increased occasionally, com- prising recitations, songs, chorus and instrumental solos or orches- tral pleces of every varlety. performers may derive an income from royalties on the sale ot their phonautograms, and plates may be printed and regis- tered to protect against unauthor- ized publication. Collections of phonautograms may become very valuable, and whole evenings will be spent at home going through a long list of interesting performances. "Languages can be taught hy having a good elocutionist speak classical recitations and sell cop- ies of his voice to students, In this department alone, and that of teaching elocution generally, an the gramophone, "Addresses --- congartulatory, political or otherwise--ean be des livered by proxy so loudly that the audience will be armost as if consicous of the speaker's pres- ence, " "A singer unable to appear at be represented as per program, and conventions will listen to dis- "Prominent singers speakers or' valuable |' immense field is to be filled by | dreds. 'The Mst includes artists such as: Caruso, Gigli, Martinel- li, Ponselle, Kreisler Heifetz, Paderewski, Marion Tally Stokow- ski and Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra a magnificent list too numerous to give in detail. These great artists have given all that is best in their work to the re- corded form of the musical art. Great symphonies have been re- corded, and can be reproduced at home, in their entirety. Thus again, thy scientist has tak- en his queer mixture of calcula- tions, experimentations and possi- bilitties; has stirred them into his fondest dérams, and has evolved another human convenience, The little toy instrument demonstrat- ed by Mr. Berliner forty years ago, highly improved and perfect- «1 through the years, has multi- plied itself by the millions until today no place is beyond its reach nor is it beyond the reach of those FELT the latefi design in COMMUNITY PLATE Teaspoons 34.2.5 Set of Six STABLISHING a new trend in silverware orna- mentation, the magnificence of this design and the hitoric interést it inherits, suggest that it will be prized by those who know and love fine things.

CHINESE APPLY FOR BODY GUARDS Vancouver Police Probe Wit- nesses Say Lives Threatened Vancouver, May 15.--Georgie Chow and Joe, Chinese, who are prominently mentioned as witness- es in the Vancouver police inquiry, have applied at the police station for bodyguards or other protection until they have appeared on the witness stand. Joe told officers that he had been beaten late Friday night in China- town, and threats were made from other Chinese against his life. He identified his prineipa] assailant as a member of the Shue Moy gam- bling faction. Joe also elalms that they had warned him against testi- fying regarding payments of mon- ey. George Chow declared that he had been offered a considerableq sum to leave town and refuse to testify. DEATH NOT GRANTED Charlotte, Mich, May 15.-- James Morehouse, aged 22, and Hawthorne Sutton, aged 21, con- fessed bandits and convicted slay- ers of Deputy Sheriff Leo Platt, were sentenced to solitary confine- ment for life in Jackson State Prison by Circuit Judge McPhee here this afternoon, They were found guilty of first degree mur- der, Morehouse was accused of hav- ing fired the shot which killed Platt when the officer arrested him and Sutton in connection with a series of hold-ups and burglaries, .| Morehouse claimed self-defense, You Are Cordially Invited to attend a special showing of Doherty Dresses in this shoppe on Thursday "and Friday, May 17 :and 18, from 10 am. to 6 p.m. ; Frocks Will Be Modelled .

Nine years later in 1897, when his instrument had already proven a practical success, the Institute awarded to Mr. Berliner the John Scott Medal, *'to the most deserv- ing," in appreciation for nis inven- tion, These statements (quoted fin this story) were made before the formation of any commercial or- ganization for the marketing of phonographs; and before the o01- ganization of the Berliner Gramo- phone Co. -- Mr, Berliner's own company which later became the Vietor Talking Machine Co. of Canada Limited. They were at the time regarded as a brilliant dream for the future. However, they have all come within the or- dinary sphere: of life, Prominent singers as Mr, Ber- liner predicted, did take kindly to the idea of having their voices re- produced for millions to hear. One by one they attached them- selves to this new idea until to- day it is the ryle rather than the exception for a great artist to be heard upon records, The large organization which grew out of Mr, serliner's ré- search and efforts, now known as the Victor Talking Machine Company, with affiliations all oy- er the world, reports that its list of artists runs into many hun- a -- She Took Her Friends Advice and Tried Them| Madame A.
