COLUMBIA FOREIGN LIST
Line of 65-Note Electric Piano Rolls of
Columbia Music Roll Co., Appeals to
People of Many Nationalities.
A notable feature of the 65-note electric piano rolls
made by the Columbia Music Roll Co., 22 South
Peoria street, Chicago, is the attention paid to the
line of foreign rolls. It is a meritorious line as well
as a big one and in it is found music to please people
of all lands and all tastes in national music. The
foreign rolls at the Columbia Music Roll Co. provide
dealers an excellent argument in selling the 65-note
instruments included in a big range.
Italian, Greek, Bohemian, German, Mexican, Polish,
Lithuanian, French, Spanish and other nationals are
provided with the means for playing the loved
music and folk songs and dances of their native

WAY TO ORDER BASS STRINGS
A Few Suggestions to Dealers and Tuners Given
Here Will Obviate Delays.
The tuner or dealer ordering bass strings should
designate the string wanted by number, counting
from the extreme bass end, the heaviest string being
No. 1 and the lightest wound being No. 44, says the
Keynote.
The proper way to have a bass string duplicated is
to return the old string, says the little publication of
the Baldwin Piano Co. If this is not possible send a
piece of paper that has been laid on the bass strings
and rubbed to show the position of the hitch-pins, the
bridge-pins and the bearing or agraffe at the top for
uprights and at the front for grand pianos.
Also give style, number and make of piano. This
will help in duplicating strings with more accuracy
and will prevent mistakes and delays, and state
whether strings are wanted copper-wound or whit-
ened iron-wound.
Not all pianos have just 44 wound bass strings;
therefore, in designating the string wanted by its
number, care should be exercised to count from the
extreme bass end; not by number of the note but by
the number of the string. These two numbers differ
because for some of the bass notes there are two
strings, each of which has a separate string number.

GEORGIA PRESERVES TIMBER.
The Georgia land owners are taking action to pre-
serve timber and the fact may be a suggestion to
land owners in other states. ''The present supply of
hardwood has almost vanished—but Georgia is com-
ing back, and when the second growth of our swamps
begins to come on, I think we will find owners more
than willing to conserve it and use proper methods of
marketing," said Bonnell H. Stone, president of the
Georgia Forestry Association, on his return form an
tour of the state recently. "Hardwood timber is
rapidly being cut out of the swamp areas of the State.
With the supply almost exhausted on the higher
lands of Georgia, lumberman everywhere have in-
vaded the swamp areas, and every hardwqpd tree
that is at all get-at-able is being cut down and trans-
ported to the mills to be made into lumber."
