men who are working in that profession see
fit to reduce their practice to scientific stand-
ards. This does not mean the adoption of rigid
mathematical methods which would be useful
only for theoretical investigations to be trans-
lated later into practical methods. The time
has not yet come for our industry to encourage
research—worse luck—and rigid mathematical
exposition is therefore at present only for those
who like to labor without reward. Nevertheless,
our engineers, in their desire to be practical,
usually lean over backwards. They might make
a good beginning toward uprightness by gen-
erally adopting the pressure gauge and by rating
all their results in terms of the figures yielded
in that manner.

with the pneumatic playing mechanism we are
much better advised when we use the scales of
measurement common to the instrumental ap-
paratus upon which our mechanism is intended
to operate.
It would be well if these words and others
like them by other men who have experimented
in the science of musical pneumatics might be
effective to induce manufacturers of player
mechanisms to encourage, if not to insist upon,
the use of the pressure gauge in all designing
and testing. The time is long gone past when
the use of inexact methods can be excused. Such
methods, of course, do persist to an alarming

CLAUDE BUCKPITT IN NEW OUARTERS
Progressive Elmira, N. Y., Music Dealer Moves
Into Fine New Store—Features Chickering
With the Ampico and Brunswick Line
ELMIRA, N. Y., December 27.—Claude Buckpitt,
well-known local music dealer, is now located in
his new, modern establishment at 156 Lake street.
The store occupies two floors. The first floor is
given over to a large demonstration room for
the Ampico in the Chickering, another large
room for the demonstration of the complete line
of Chickering pianos, which the firm handles,
and several demonstration booths for Brunswick
phonographs and records. The second floor is
taken up by a Brunswick display room and the
offices of the company.
The Claude Buckpitt business was established
here fourteen years ago, and continued increase
in patronage has made necessary several moves
into more spacious quarters.

in Columbus
COLUMBUS, O., December 27.—The Rudolph
Wurlitzer Co., with headquarters in Cincinnati,
O., has just closed leases on two prominent
downtown locations.
For several years the Wurlitzer Co. has been
located in the Z. L. White Building, where it
occupied the entire fifth floor, its lease expiring
January 1, 1922.
The business has grown so rapidly that offi-
cers of the company felt the necessity of having
a ground floor storeroom and have leased for
ten years the room at 52 East Gay street, now
occupied by the American Railway Express Co.
As the Wurlitzer Co. cannot get possession of
the room until April, a three months' lease was
made on the storeroom at 231 North High street
formerly occupied by the A. B. Smith Piano Go.
The storeroom at 52 East Gay street will be
completely redecorated and a new store front
installed.
C. M. Miller, of Kansas City, Mo., and Sim D,
Warner have become connected with the piano
department of the D. L. Whittle Music Co.,
