an iron hat on any golf course. 4—This gives us a swell chance to say, "Dave Day and Walter Grover sing their Swan Song." 5—A bunch of the boys were grouping it up.
Cast of characters, Johnson, Chapin, Bresnahan, Kuhrmeyer, Gotsch and Kraus. 6—Two officers and one of the powers behind the throne. 7—Mortimer Plushbottotn about to

"Free" Musical Instruments
Must Really Be Free
Federal Trade Commission Rules That When
Music Schools Offer Instrument Free to
Scholars There Must Be No Charge for Them
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 19.—'Correspondence
schools teaching music and offering- to give
musical instruments free to scholars must in
fact give those instruments" without charge, it
has been ordered by the Federal Trade Com-
mission. The requirement of the commission
was made known in the announcement that a
stipulation had been reached with a music
school, the name of which is withheld, whereby
certain of their practices are to be abandoned.
The. school offered ukuleles and other musical
instruments free of charge to persons who
agreed to take its course in music. Investiga-
tion by the commission developed that the mu-
sical instruments were not given free of charge,
as their price was included in the price oL the
tuition for the course. It was further repre-
sented by the school that its ukuleles were
made of genuine Koa wood and that a flat-
backed mandolin also offered was made of ma-
hogany, while a guitar offered was of dark
rosewood. The commission found that these
instruments were not made of the woods de-
jcribed.
The offer was termed by the school as a
"remarkable offer," but the commission found
that it was nothing more than the regular ordi-
nary offer held out to students and prospective
students, and was not in fact a special offer.
The proprietors of the school in signing the
stipulation agreed to cease and desist from the
unfair practices charged.
