3d is winning new friends daily with a test that was heretofore thought impossible 1 Somewhere eachvday in this great Jand of ours this test (AN ACTUAL COMPARI- SON OF THE ARTIST AND THE RE-CREATION ON THE NEW EDISON) is being made before audiences composed of music lovers, teachers and critics, who have almost unanimously conceded that the artist's performance cannot be distinguished from the New Edison's Re-Creation of it. The NEW is positively the only instrument which has successful sustained the test of direct comparison with living artists. We do not expect you to believe without hearing, but we invite you to come in and hear the NEW EDISON Re-Create the voices or instrumental performances of great artists. Then you will realize we are not over praising its possibilities. WHY NOT COME TO-DAY? 1 i 0.

Plants Here Do Not Make Complete Rounds of Ammunition Head of Big Firm SayW Symington Plant Lays Off Nearly 2,000 Ilea Those hundreds of Rochester men who left steady, all-year-round jobs to answer the siren call of the munition plants ''easy money" have but a little while longer to enjoy prosperity, it is belieTed. Heads plants who were questioned yesterday would not say that the life of the business here was at stake, but neither ould they i say that it would continue for long. Yesterday the Hofman plant of the T.

H. Symington Company, at Barnuxn street and Leighton avenue, laid off men, including a day and night shift. Shortage of forgings, caused principally by difficulties in railroad, shipment, were said to be the cause of the lay-off last night by Donald Symington. The Symington plant, it was learned yesterday, does not contract directly with the "Russian government for the manufacture of shells, but furnishes them to the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Eddy stone Ammunition Corporation. The forgings are shipped frhi Bethlehem, Cleveland and Philadelphia.

Nearly men are still-employed at the Hofman plant. 'Offers Plant to Baker. The Symington Company is making three-inch shrapnel shells, and according to another manufacturer's statement, that size is going' into disuse with the termination- of the present contract. George D. Morgan, vice-president of the General Railway Signal Company, said that" all contracts being let in the United States now call for the larger sizes.

The signal company is manufacturing 9.2-inch shells Jor the English government. Mr. Morgan was asked if his company would put its plant and resources at the service of the government In case of wa. His reply was, that a letter had been sent to Secretary of War Baker offering to turn the factories, machinery and resources over to the government if war was declared. An acknowledgement has been received.

Mr. Symington gave Rochester products a boost when ha" said that If any Anns In the country obtained further contracts It would Je those In Rochester, for he believed that the best munitions made in the country came from this city. He said that assurance had been received that such would be the case. No. TJ.

S. Contracts Here. Contracts bae already been let by the United States government. It was found, but none. willbe given to, Rochester manufacturers.

The reason given Is that none of the several firms In the city that are making munitions is turning out complete rounds of Some are making time rings, others are making shells and others are making minor parts. The Federal government -Insists that the complete round be made In the game factory. George W. Uobeson, president of the Rochester Stamping Company, was out of town yesterday, and no information was given by other members of the firm.

John Ready Speaks on Care of the Body Good Music Close to 450 old and new members of the Y. M. C. A. crowded into the large main gymnasium of the Central Association Building in Gibbs street last evening for the annual association dinner.

It was an affair infused with real T. C. A. spirit. It had life and go and plenty of wholesome fun.

The headed by Robert Tait, knew from experience what young men liked and its efforts to provide the desired qualities were crowned -ith success. The men sat dow to the tables at 6:30 o'clock and by the time they had become acquainted rrtth their tablemates a squad of young women attired in white and wearing white and red caps trooped into the gymnasium with the first course. From then on there was something doing every minute. The menu card were in the form of dumbbells. A song book was at each diner's place and he was expected to use it.

He was not told to use it, Ibut he did An orchestra helped the singing along during the meal and at its conclusion, Roland B. Woodward, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who acted as toastmaster, introduced as the first speaker, Rev. Albert W. Beaven, pastor l. Baptist who talked on "Co-operation and Fellowship." Talk with Pep in It.

If it is true that the popular type ef old-school clergyman was sanctimonious, Mr. Beaven is ultra-modern. There is no pussy-footing or soft-peddling when he is talking to young men and young men made up his audience last night. He stood up on a platform above them to talk, but he was right down among them in spirit. He was a boy among boys and he reached the crowd in the big gym because he "got them," as the vernacular would have it, "right w'here they lived." When Mr.

Beaven nsed a simile, he used one that everyone understood. He illustrated his points in the way that all young men would get them. He had the crowd from start to finish and when he stepped down from the. platform at the finish of alk that had really stirred all who listened to it, he was given a roof-raising ovation. "Co-operation," said Mr.

Beaven, "with every one pulling to beat the Dutch for one thing, is what we want in the T. M. C. A. and in the community.

Unless a man is a rooter for a city or an institution 'with which he is connected, he isn't doing the city or the institution much good.We want to remember that every fellow is pat of the life of every other fell on and if we live in a community and enjoy its benefits, we should know that we are obligated to that community and we should pull for it, and pull mighty hard. It's the Man That Counts. "We want to remember, too, that It isn't only, the fellow with. the big car and the swell overcoat that cuts the most figure. It's the man, not the big car or the swell overcoat; the man, first, last and all the time that counts.

Ton fellows should remember that, yon are. obligated to this association and to your city and you should know that your help means much." -Ir. John ReaSy, who for years has been interested in young men, and who is probably closer to more young men than any older man in the city, spoke on "Prevention, the Terfect Cure." The singing was led by H. IT. Brickel.
