CONFUSION
WAR CHARITIES.
(Washington Post.)
The confusion resulting from the
multiplication of war charities is so
great that the government will be
compelled to take cognizance of the
situation.
At* present there is no system con-
trolling the creation or operation of
charities. Consequently the organiza-
tions already existing and those cre-
ated to m*t real or imaginary needs
are in a headlong rivalry, all of them
clamoring for public support and de-
manding governmental aid. The gov-
ernment can not turn over its facili-
ties to all of these charities; it can not
give space on transports to shipments
gathered by dozens of organizations,
working independently and perhaps at
crostapueptfees.
The pnblic is ankious to contribute
seffectively in every way to the com-

troduced at the night sessioh Tuesday
and was adopted without a dissenting
vote. In offering the resolution, Dr.
Garrick said: “We shall not ask phy-
sicians to treat dependents of men
who are able to pay, but I do not feel
tbar such help is charity; rather a
privilege to the medical profession to
volunteer in the same spirit that
these men have volunteered.”
NO CALLED SESSION UNTIL

Associated Tress
Austin, Texas, Dec. 12.—In the opin-
ion of Lieutenant Governor, W. A.
Johnson of Memphis, Hall county,
there will be no special session of the
Thirty-fifth legislature called by Gov-
ernor W. P. Hobby until after the
state Democratic primaries next July,
notwithstanding the fact that the leg-
islative investigating committee may
have its report ready for submission
to the legislature by at least the mid-
dle of next January.
, The investigating committee which
has almost completed its work, is now
getting its report compiled, although
Chariman W. M. Fly of (he central
committee does not guarantee that
the committee will have its report
ready by January 15.

All Phonographs in One
Such Is The Brunswick
V
■ f
’NTIL the coming of The Brunswick, each .fine
phonograph confined its owners to one line of ■
records. . ,
\ That meant that each home- was limited to certain
artists. All artists were not available.
The Brunswiejc removes this limitation. This final
type phonograph plays all records. You may use
any needle required.
Music lovers have waited long for such an instru- - - t ^
ment as this, and now it is receiving a hearty welcome .v Mjj^
all over the nation.
Those who have purchased Brunswicks would nGt
consent to go back to a one record instrument. Nor
is this the only reason.

A New Kind of Sound Chamber
I
The Brunswick has an all-
vvood sound chamber built
like a fine violin. No metal
is used. So Brunswick tone
is rich and liquid, unham-
pered by metallic vibrations.
The Brunswick sound
chamber, acousticians de-
clare, is one of the great ad-
vances in tone reproduction.
Aqd when you hear The
Brunswick and compare it
with others, you too will
award The Brunswick first
place. It does not take a
trained musical ear to note
the difference.
The Brunswick has a
dozen other superiorities,
such as the accurately timed
automatic stop, a throat-way
volume control, a clever in-
dex file. An extra large,
silent motor and exquisite
wood-working.
Yet with all these advan-
tages, all these superiorities,-
The Brunswick does not cost
more than other fine phono-
graphs. In fact, whetff com-
paring prices of the different
sizes with those of the other
four leading makes, yoji will
note that Brunswick prices
are somewhat less.
This is because The Bruns-
wick is made in its entirety
by The Brunswick-Balke-
Collender Company — not
assembled. This great wood-
working concern makes its
own cabinets instead of buy-
ing from some one else.
