TO CONDUCT HEINEMAN RESEARCH

dustry, Becomes Head of Experimental

Supply Co., Inc., New York
The (>tto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co.,
l;ic. New York, announced last week the ap-
pointment ff John J. Scully as manager of ex-
perimental
laboratory
with headquarters in
New York. Mr. Scully
will
have
complete

company's research aid
experimental work, and
his previous experience
admirably equips him
for this important post.
John J. Scully was

l u m b i a Graphophone
Co. for the past thir-
teen years, and since
1917 has been super-

visor of the company's
experimental and mechanical laboratories. For
four years he was intimately associated with
F. H. MacDonald, a pioneer in phonograph de-
velopment, and during this period Mr. Scully
acquired a thorough technical knowledge of the
mechanics of this industry.

in addition invented several labor-saving de-
vices. He therefore brings to his new position
an invaluable experience that will be at the dis-
posal of the Heineman organization and clien-
tele, and which will undoubtedly prove a tre-
mendous advantage to Heineman patrons.
RECORDS FOR THE COLUMBIA CO.
Mile. Marguerite Clement, Noted French Lin-
guist, Makes Educational Records
The educational department of the Columbia
Co. announces that Mile. Marguerite Clement,
who has been in America representing the
French Government in promoting the French
language in this country, has recorded several
records for them. Mile. Clement believes that
one of the most important factors in promot-
ing the language is the correct pronunciation of
it. It is her belief that the accent may most
easily be obtained by listening to another who
speaks it with the proper accent.
In order to further the American's pronuncia-
tion she has recorded several records so that the
proper accent may be heard and learned. These
records, recently released by the Columbia Co.,
are meeting with a great demand from the edu-
cational institutions throughout the country.
