SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL INSTRUCTION
Will Be in Session at Edison Factory for Three
Days Preceding Dealers' Meeting
There will be a school of mechanical instruc-
tion at the Edison laboratory on Monday, Tues-
day and Wednesday, June 3, 4 and 5, the three
days just preceding the Edison dealers' conven-
tion.
This has always been a feature of the week
the convention is held and each year the attend-
ance is larger and larger, showing that the deal-
ers are becoming more and more aware of
the importance of being fully acquainted with
the instruments they are selling. All the new,
as well as the old, improvements are going to
be discussed during this three-day session and
a large attendance is looked for.
FRIEDA HEMPEL TO BECOME CITIZEN
Miss Frieda Hempel, the newest Edison star,
who will shortly become an American citizen,
has announced her engagement to a prominent
silk manufacturer of New York, where she will
make her home.
By this step Miss Hempel will forfeit property
of considerable value in Germany, because she
is disobeying the dictates of Kaiser Bill.
SPEAKING FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
John G. Paine, with the Victor Talking Ma-
chine Co., Camden, N. J., has been adding to
his fame as an orator by making some eloquent
speeches in advocacy of the Liberty Loan. He
spoke last Saturday night to a large audience
in the Steel Pier auditorium at Atlantic City.
EDISON HAS SECOND GRANDSON
Thomas A. Edison has a second grandson who
was born on Monday last. He is John Edison
Sloane, son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Sloane,
and was born in the Edison home at Llewellyn
Park. When the child was twenty-two hours
old Mrs. Edison, his grandmother, purchased a
$100 Liberty Bond for him.
Empire Phono Parts Co. Places New Tone Arm
on the Market—Many Original Features
The Empire Phono Parts Co., of Chicago and
Cleveland, have recently placed on the market
their new Empire universal tone arm, which is
meeting with much favorable comment through-
out the trade. It is the product of many years
of experience and is especially designed to give
perfect reproduction of any record combined
with sufficient volume of tone. In attractive-
ness of design this new Empire tone arm is
appealing to many manufacturers, and it is ad-
justable to position for playing vertical or lateral
cut records by merely turning the reproducer
without the use of set screws. The Universal
The New Empire Tone Arm
joint, to which is attached the sound box, makes
connections by means of a threaded screw, there-
by insuring its permanency and eliminating any
rattle and giving assurance to the operator that
it will never come loose and cause trouble or
complaint.
An additional threaded screw joint enables
the reproducer to be thrown back for insertion
of the needle. When the sound box is thrown
back by means of this additional screw joint, the
cover of the cabinet may be lowered, and there
will be no danger of the cover striking the needle
point. In inserting the needle the sound box
is thrown back and the possibility of its slip-
ping from one's ringers and destroying the rec-
ord is thereby eliminated. This throw-back
position appeals particularly to the consumer
and insures that the sound box is always in a
correct position for playing. The main sound
tube passage is constructed of the best of mate-
rials and is made in such a way as to carry the
sound waves without any loss of volume or
quality.
The Liberty Talking Machine Co., Chicago,
has been incorporated with capital stock of $5,-
000 by Robert Bachrach, S. Sidney Stein and
Hirsch E. Soble.

Piano merchants, who
have not investigated
the talking machine
field, will find that the
subject is one of deep
interest to them and
they will also learn that
talking machines con-
stitute a line which can
be admirably blended
with piano selling.
The advance that has
been m a d e in this
special field has been
phenomenal and every
dealer w h o desires
s p e c i f ic information
concerning talking ma-
chines should receive
The Talking Machine
World regularly.
This is the only publi-
cation in A m e r i c a
devoted exclusively to
the interests of the talk-
ing machine, and each
issue contains a vast
fund of valuable in-
formation which the
talking machine job-
bers and dealers say is
worth ten times the cost
of the paper to them.
You can receive the
paper regularly at a cost
of $1.00 a year and we
know of no manner in
which $1.00 can be ex-
pended which will sup-
ply as much valuable
information.
