" Prom ice hockey to roller polo i3 quite a jump, to be made In one night ; But it .was negotiated by Bobbie Loxen, speedy second rush of the Indianapolis team which played here Saturday in its first appearance of the Indiana State Polo league season, and he immediately became a star. , Loxen's home is in Boston and he was a devotee of Ice sports as a youngster, becoming known over Massachusetts as a star skater and hitter in hockey. He - had never been on roller skates and did not, know the I'olo game except from the spectators' bench. Illness Causes Shortage Down in Taunton, Mass., a sudden

players, one of the teams having - illness caused a shortage of polo ' players, one of the teams having only four men available. Needing a man for the rush line, they sent for Bobbie Loxen because he was a star at the ' ' hockey game. - "It was my first time on rollers and 1 sat on my neck hal' of the time," says Loxen as he tells, with many laughs, his first experience in rolo. "Every time I offered at the ball, 1 hit the floor and missed the ball. It seemed to be that I sprawled on the floor once in every minute of play and after the game I felt like anything but trying the game apaln." Loxen's ability to drive the ball with great force and from almost any position, made him valuable in polo and even though his first experience held little physical comfort for him, the manager of the Taunton team pursuaded him to stay with polo and drop Ice hocky. He played the bench a part .. of that first season, finishing with an amateur team and proving a big sen pat ion before the season ended. The next year he entered professional polo. He Wins First Rank His speed and hard hitting won him a place In the first rank at the outset and he never, through a decade of bteady playing, lost the admiration of the fans of the eastern towns, for his

accurate 6hots at the cage on long and short drives. He is not an expert roller Bkater, but has speed and weight and knows how to handle the ball. Loxen stands six feet tall, Ted Lewis about the same and Fred Jean no less. Then there is Dr. Heber Hall Harold, at halfback and the Indianapolis team stands as the "big combination" of the league, a floor quartet that will make the Richmond lads look like a lot of school boys in size.

VAR-NE-SIS HELPED NEW HAVEN MAN

Pain of Rheumatic Joints Responded After Other Remedies Failed.

Wm. E. Goss, of 104 Olive street, New Haven, Conn., is enthusiastic about Var-ne-sls. He said: "I suffered from rheumatism of the Joints for five years. I was in constant pain most of the time and was unable to sleep or find a comfortable position. My hands and fingers were stiff and sore. My knees were very stiff if I remained quiet any length of time. I had great difficulty in going up or down stair3. My legs would cramp and swell.

, Nothing in the form of medicine seemed to help me in spite of going

before a clinic for treatment.

i Four, months .after-,, taking. Yar-ne-

sis I was a well man without a pain

or an ache. I am recommending Var-

ne-sis to all sufferers . and cannot

praise it too highly.

"Singing with the Edison laboratory Re-Creation of her own voice, so exactly was it like Miss Miller's voice in tone, quality and enunciation that it was not possible to tell one from the (ithtir."-Dctrolt Tree Press.

"It was virtually impossible to distinguish her voice from the phonograph's Re-Creation of it." Los Angeles Times.

"The secret of the new phonograph is in the fact that Edison has been able to reproduce "r the overtones in musical Bounds. These overtones of which the domestic phonographs have so long been deprived, are apparently the intangible essence of. music." New York Tribune.

"One could seldom be sure whether the singing came from the wonderful mechanical device on exhibition or from the distinguished prima donna herself." Rochester Evening Times

" "There were two voices in the auditorium now. Here it became evident that, altho Madame Rappold was sing her voice was matched so perfectly by the voice in the cabinet that it was impossible to distinguish between the two." Minneapolis Daily News.

"It Is very apparent that Mr. Edison has achieved a very remarkable result in being able to re-create tones of the human voice and orchestral instruments exactly as they sound in the original performance with the quality of tone which had hitherto been absent from the reproduction made by 'talking machines.' " Pittsburgh Leader.

"As the .artist sang from time to time, she paused, permitting the record to be heard alone one could not be sure just when she sang or when she did not, except by watching her lips." Richmond Item.

ARTHUR MIDDLETON Bass, Metropolitan Opera Company illustrates by direct comparison that Edison's Re-Creation of his wonderful voice cannot be distinguished from the original.

4 The common "needle talking-machines," give only an approximation of sound. No one denies this statement. Think now did you ever hear a common needle talking-machine, that really sounded like "the real thing?" No, you never did. The New Edison alone is capable of Music s Re-Creation.

The New Edison Alone Can Stand the acid test of actual comparison with living artists performance. No Common Needle Talking Machine Can Possibly Do This Think What This Means to You-Which Will You Have?
