(Special to The Review.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, September 22.—Regula-
tions regarding the effective date for the pending
tariff law have just been issued to collectors of
customs by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Mr. McAdoo had forwarded to all collectors the
following instructions:
"The Department will promptly advise you by
telegram when the new act becomes operative.
You will, however, continue to assess estimated
duties on imported merchandise at the rates pro-
vided for under the tariff act of Aug. 5, 1909, but
will suspend liquidation of the entries until re-
ceipt of the official copy of the new tariff act,
which will be forwarded to you by this Depart-
ment at the earliest practicable moment, and upon
receipt thereof the entries should be finally liqui-
dated at the rates provided for under the new act.
"When the act becomes operative, the Depart-
ment will issue instructions continuing existing
regulations whenever applicable, and will prescribe
such further regulations as may be required.
"In case of doubt as to the proper consideration
to be given to any of the provisions of the new
tariff act, or as to the proceedings to be followed
thereunder, collectors should request the instruc-
tions of the Department in order .that uniformity
of action may be secured in the administration of
that act at the various ports."
HERRMANN CABINET DISPLAY
In Mew Showrooms at 470 Fourth Avenue, New
York, Is Most Complete and Interesting.
The H. Herrmann Furniture Co., better known
at 254 Canal street, is now "at home" to the trade
at its new and commodious warerooms at 470
Fourth avenue. New York (fourth Hoor).
In
addition to the general line of furniture that ihe
name Herrmann is noted for, there is an exhibit
here of especial interest to the dealer, comprising
as it does, a very extensive line of music roll,
sheet music and talking machine record cabinets.
During the past few months, there has been a
wide exploitation of this new line, and the sale of
Herrmann cabinets has increased remarkably.
Particular attention is paid to the quality of
materials and the skilled workmanship that have
to do with the manufacture of Herrmann cabinets.
"Piano finished cabinets" is a phrase that has
long been recognized as a simile of the name
Herrmann, so it is not surprising that the trade is
increasing its orders for these cabinets.
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, the well-known musi-
cal merchandise house at 113 University place,
Xew York, has now in course of preparation two
very attractive display cards to feature the Duss
band harmonicas and the Lester accordions, which
the house represents in this country. These new
display cards will be ready for presentation to the
trade within a few weeks, and will undoubtedly
prove very popular with the company's dealers
throughout the country.
A novel feature of these new display cards is
the fact that the boy's face used as the cards' sub-
ject is that of Harry Durro Buegeleisen, son of
Samuel Buegeleisen, head of the house. Harry
Durro has already achieved considerable fame in
the trade by being featured in divers publicity
stunts issued by Buegeleisen & Jacobson. His
winning and thoroughly happy smile has become
the favorite trade-mark of the Durro products and
other products handled by the house. In the new
series of display cards Harry Durro will be shown
as playing both the Duss band harmonicas and the
Lester accordions. Incidentally, it might be men-
tioned that Harry Durro is an expert at playing
these instruments, in addition to being able to per-
form on the violin, 'cello, mandolin, guitar and
'banj o.
The first instalment of Schubert accordions,
which was one of the lines that Samuel Buegel-
eisen arranged to handle while abroad on his re-
'cent trip, arrived here, from Europe last week.
These accordions are very artistic in appearance,
and should prove prime favorites with the B. &
J. clientele.
Samuel Buegeleisen, road man for the house, ar-
rived home Saturday from an extended trip all
over the country. Mr. Buegeleisen found business
conditions excellent, and received substantial or-
ders for all the products that the house handles.
IMPROVEMENTSJN CORNETS.

which tapered tubing may be used, whether they
be for hand or orchestra or otherwise.
The object is to produce an easier blowing in-
strument, one that will respond more readily to
the performer's efforts, with full and clear tones.
To this end the instruments embodying this in-
vention are constructed of tapered tubing, said
tubing being thinnest at the point where the mouth
piece enters and gradually increasing in thick-
ness to the outer end of the instrument which is
known as the bell or flare portion. In adapting
this construction to cornets or other instruments
employing valves, the idea necessitates a slight
modification, the tubing being thinnest at the
mouth piece and gradually increasing in thickness
to the valves which are constructed, as is usual,
with straight tubing; the taper or gradual increase
in thickness of tubing is then employed in the part
of the instrument leading from the valves to the
atmosphere or outer end thereof.
By practical experiments it has been found that
the above described construction results in the pro-
duction of an instrument which is very easy to
blow and which responds readily to the efforts of
the performer with clear, full tones.
SHORTAGE IN CERTAIN LINES
Particularly Cheap Violins, 'Cellos, Bows, Etc.,
Being Felt in the Musical Mechandise Trade
— European Manufacturers Very Busy.
"There is a pronounced dearth in the supply of
cheap violins, 'cellos, bows, etc.," remarked Sec-
retary Mock, of the William R. Gratz Import Co.,
•V) West Thirty-first street, New York, in a recent
chat with The Review. "For the past year or two
this falling off in the supply of this particular type
of musical instrument has become more and more
marked, but judging from all indications the de-
mand this season will be far in excess of the im-
mediate supply.
"Notwithstanding the price increases that the
manufacturers abroad have demanded and re-
ceived, they are still unable to take care of all the
orders they are receiving from all parts of the
world, and the latest advices from abroad indicate
that the situation is becoming alarming in the ex-
tent of the shortage of labor and necessary woods."
(Special to The Review.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., September 22.—A wind mu-
sical instrument (Patent No. 1,071,526) has been in-
vented by Henry Charles Martin, Elkhart, Ind.,
and which relates to certain new and useful im-
provements in wind musical instruments, such as
trumpets, cornets, trom'bones, baritones, basses,
saxophones; and, in fact, all wind instruments in
ISSUES METALLA DISPLAY CARD.
GOOD IDEA.
The Manager—I've got a good idea for a melo-
drama that ought to make a hit.
The Writer—What is it?
The Manager—The idea is to introduce a cy-
clone into the first act that will kill all the actors.
MICROMETRIC STRING GAUGES
Attractively Designed Publicity Sent Out by
Ch. Weiss of New York.
The American branch of Ch. Weiss, 393 Broad-
way, New York, manufacturers of harmonicas and
the Fluta, has just sent out an attractive display
card featuring the Metalla line of harmonicas. The
new. cards are furnished to dealers for display in
show windows, show cases, etc.
The principal selling argument of the Metalla
line of harmonicas is the fact that the harmonicas
are constructed solely of metal, and are therefor
sanitary and hygenic. With this idea in view, the
new card is colored and designed to resemble
metal in its finished state. It portrays a standard
Metalla harmonica together with a skeleton view
of the plate, illustrating the entire absence of wood
in the harmonica's make-up.
Hermann Weiss, American representative of the
Weiss interests, is at present making an extended
trip through the Middle West. Orders received
from him to date indicate a prosperity of the
Weiss business in this territory that augurs well
for the year's total sales.
Cluett & Sons, Troy, N. Y., announce the dis-
continuance of their musical merchandise and
sheet music departments to take effect October 15.
