They say that thousands of tank cars are on sidetracks between here and the oil fields. If these cars were moved, the gasoline shortage would not exist. There is plenty of gasoline at the refineries. Despite the shortage, however, gasoline is still being retailed for 26.4 cents a gallon. Garages, are forced to charge more as they haul it into Richmond in barrels.

JUSIC lovers choose the Brunswick Phonograph to play their favorite records, for it plays all records at their best. The Brunswick Method of Reproduction makes this possible. It consists of two outstanding, exclusive features The Brunswick Ultona and The Brunswick Tone Amplifier. The Ultona The Ultona is a scientific creation which enables one to play all records with faithful regard for the requirements of each make. It is not in any sense a combination contrivance, but involves a fundamental principle of sound reproduction. Nor is the Ultona a complex mechanism. By a slight turn of the hand it is adapted to any make record, instantly supplying the correct position on the record, the proper needle and diaphragm and the precise pressure or weight necessary to play that particular record. The Tone Amplifier The Brunswick Tone Amplifier is another improvement of fundamental Importance. As the name implies, it amplifies the tone, making it richer, sweeter, truer. This vibrant tone chamber, constructed entirely of moulded hollywood, free from rnm provides the

requisite resiliency that unfolds and projects true tone. Like a fine violin or the sounding board of a piano, it complies with the approved laws of acoustics. Hear The Brunswick Before Yoq Buy One hearing of this remarkable instrument is enough to convince the most critical music lover that here is the final type phonograph. Come in today for demonstration.

Furs and Mystery

By Palais Royal

There are enough grades of genuine mink fur to send one scampering to the reliable fur dealer not even to mention the clever substitutes which abound in places where dollars rule instead of reputations ! The mink is a larger species of the weasel family, found in all parts of the United States and Canada. In the numerous sections in which the animals are found, the quality of mink skins varies even more widely than the climate, the month in which each animal is caught helping further to govern the worth of its skin. The beauty of mink skin is in its long, lustrous overhairs, rather than the soft underfur, and skins taken along the North Atlantic coast in the months of December and January possess greater density and brilliance than those taken in any other place or at any other time. It is a part of the unreliable fur dealer's business to darken or "blend" inferior Southern or Western skins of yellower cast, by applying a tincture to the fur, and then sell them as natural Eastern skins. Another so-called "trick of the trade" is to lengthen small skins by piecing-in, or by cutting small slits in the edges and carefully pulling lengthwise until the notches are drawn out and the sides of the skin have again become straight edges. Now, what does all this convey to the prospective purchaser of "the most economical of furs ?" That she must depend upon her dealer's integrity: First, for prime Eastern pelts, not Southern or Western; second, for skins that have been caught at the proper time of the year, even though in the right section ; third, for skins that were the right color when caught, not "doctored" afterwards; fourth, for selected skins of the proper size, not lengthened to suit ; and, fifth, for fair pricing upon the basis of purchase, not upon the basis of what they might be worth next season !
