little since I came over hjre. The ship I came over on was the U. S. S. Leviathan, which was formerly the Vaterland. the largest ship in the world and c,ertaintly must have been a vefy fine ship before it was made into a transport by the Vnited States. There were about 13.000 people that came across, on the ship and it was a regular hospital as

many of the. soldiers were taken sick with the Spanish influenza. There were over one hundred died coming across and many were taken to the hospital after we landed here.

"We landed in Brest. France, remained there for a few days in a chateau formerly used by Napoleon, from there we went to Scotland, passed through England and also stopped off at London. "On this trip we traveled in box cars, passenger cars and boats, it' was somS great trip. While on the boat we had German prisoners with us. "We are now stationed in the southern part ot Scotland in the 'Firth of Forth' water, the boys over here are known as the Firths. " , "There is a. bridge across this body of water over a mile long and it is one of the largest in the world. The meals aboard this ship are nothing extra and if it wasn't for good white bread we get, I don't know what I would do sometimes. "Dear parents. I am anxiously awaiting for the time to come when I can put my feet under your table again and enjoy a good meal and a nice soft bed to He in. Now that we have the German fleet in our power. I don't think it will be very long before we will start tack to the states.

Of course ,vou have, but perhaps you did not know they were "Bif? Bens." They are usually housed in exquisite cabinets. They are simply gorgeous in appearance. Many a cabinet designer has worked ovcrtimejo make a ' Louis De Luxe" cabinet. These "Big lien" talking machines possess ten thousand salesmen's talking points except TONE. When you are "shopping iii search of a phonograph take time to look carefully into the hundreds of "Big Ben" talking machines. What is a "Big Ben" Phonograph? Did you ever look into an alarm clock and see the number of cog wheels? "Big Ben" phonographs have just such a motor. A clock-work, cog wheel motor. Such a motor is all right irf a clock but not in a phonograph.. A clock is a slow-going piece of machinery. A -phonograph motor must move man times faster it also wears more quickly,. "Big Ben" motors are made by concerns who never made a phonograph or know nothing about the acous

tic principles of sound. All "Big Ben" phonographs are assembled.

This Man Worked 35 Years to Give You the New ReCrea!Ion Edison Phono gragh Thomas Edison is the father of the phonograph. and he is living today to see his invention the only one of its class in the world. " " The Motor of the New Edison is worm driven no cog wheels to rattle and will last a lifetime. The diamond disc records are not played by the use' of a needle dragging the tone arm across the record it has a worm driven device leaving the diamond free to oscillate, producing a tone the re-creation tone which is so much human that expert are deceived. You could place the mechanism of the New Edison Re-creation Diamond Disc Phonograph in a dry goods box and still have a finer phonograph than if you owned the best "Big Ben" talking machine ever placed into a "Louis l)e Luxe" cabinet in tone and mechanism.
