RECORDS MADE ! BY MRS. STARR' [Bluffton Vocalist, Former Adams County Woman, Makes Victor Records Three phonograph records made rei cently for the Victor Talking Machine ■ company, at Camden, N. J., by Mrs. Florence Spruuger Start, of Bluffton, formerly of Adams county, have been placed on the market. Twelve copies of tho original records have been reI ceived in Bluffton and many of Mrs. Starr's friends have heard them. 1 Those who have heard the records say that Mrs. Starr's voice is repro--1 duced very naturally. The three numbers recorded by Mrs. Starr are: . “One Fine Day," from Madame Butterfly, by Puccini; "Indian Love Call,” , from Rose Marie, by Harbach, and i 'Kammerstein; and “The Wind’s in | The South." by Ivan Prindl'e Scott., 'Her accompanist at the piano was* 1 Myrtle Eaver, a Victor artist. | In telling friends of her experience in the recording studio. Mrs. Starr 1 s'ated that her experience was simiI lar to that i broadcasting over radio, las a micraphone was used in catchI ing her voice. The making of the records, Mrs. ! Starr stated, took about three hours. 1 One record had to be made four times. ' The first effort was disapproved when j Mrs. Starr cleared her throat. The i next time, she made a noise turning a leaf of the music sheet and the third time, the accompanist struck a wrong ! note. Mrs. Starr stated that while the j work was sti’euuous and at times rath- • er exasperating, she was not the least bit nervous or excited and really felt i that her effort was a success. She be- . lieves. however, that should she get another chance to record her art she would be able to improve tone and shading somewhat. | It is certain that her three complet'ed numbers are exceptionally good, and friends and music lovers are sure to be pleased when, they hear them. I Mrs. S arr made the records at her own expense which called for the trip to Camden. N. J., and the cost of recording. Mrs. Starr stated that she attributed her success largely to her friends who have encouraged her from the very start of her career. It was

Tile awarding of this contract is one feature of the constructive program outlined by the department to meet the demands of an ever increasing automobile problem. The movement is in line with the tiling system of a few of the -other most progressive states in developing methods of protecting motorists against theft of their motor vehicles, and also for the purpose of recovering cars already stolen. i Under the system to be installed. : t . ing cards will be prepared on all

cars licensed in Indiana since 1922, and these will be built in to a com- f plete motor number and'alphabetical file. One each of approximately I seven hundred thousan<f cards the motor number will be the key in locating information. | All means of identification, sucJi 'as license plates and container cards usur.'ly are removed from stolen cars. Under the new system, when such a car is recovered, it is only necessary for the police officer mak- ( I ing the recovery to obtain the engine ,or motor number from the engine 1 ■ block. By reporting this number to 1 the secretary of state’s office, it can be ascertained Immediately whether j or not such a car has been registered in the State of Indiana. If the car has been registered the name ot the owner also can be ob- ( tained from the files. Under the present system, no information can be obtained in regard to a stolen and recovered vehicle by referring to the motor number and the informa-, ' ticn can be obtained only by wiring to automobile .manufacturers. The manager of the automobile 1 license department asserts tliat it is his belief that when the new system I is put into operation eighty per cent I more stolen vehicles can be recovered without, loss of time and the expenditure of vast sums of money. i It is hoped that the file will be — Your &ad Pays enen Yhe, 1 a cjyes J k you "Thunder.
