Strings and pipes, said the Profes sor, were the basis of musical inser men's. A drawn string, when touched, made a low sound. I must be mounted on wood, in the case of the violin, to send its vibratings into the air. Pipes came before the stringe instrument. It was discovered that a note could be sounded by blowing acress the mouth of a pipe provided the end of the pipe was closed. The lecturer, by means ni a tuning- fork and 2 long narrow glass jar. which
filled he gradually with water, produced notes, which grew louder and louder as more water was poured in, thus increasing the movement of air in the vessel and the number of its vibrations in a second of time. Variety of notes can be obtained by the use of pipes of different lengths. In this way, as the lecturer showed, the scale of notes is produced from an ordinary whistle the tube of the whistle being short- ened according as a finger is lifted from each hole, going upwards.

VACUUM CUP
6000 MILE
CORD TIRES
UALITY in a tire is not appreciated until it asserts itself through long
continued trouble-free performance.
The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally is discarded.
The notable achievement of nine stock tires which, put' to official finish test by the Automobile Club of America, averaged 6,760 miles, definitely established the un- usual quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.
The rainy day certified test of the Pitta- burgh Taxicab Company-in which heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup Tires was driven around a wet corner at 25 miles an hour without skidding-
conclusively proved the guaranteed ability of the Vacuum Cup tread to resist skid- ding on wat, slippery pavements.
In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee—per warranty tag-of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi mately the same as ordinary 3,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
