In Its hour of dlro need, after It had been called a toy nnd "miscellaneous metal," friend? have rallied to Its anguished moans and have formally de clared It to bo a musical Instrument Tho question of tho Jew sharp's status was opened over the dlsciiss'on as to the duty to bo paid on a shipment Imported here. Customs regulations had classified tho jew sharp as n toy. The Importer protested that It was "miscellaneous metal." A Judge ruled It to be a musical Instrument, but tho customs regulations still classify It is a toy. A. H. Ilosewlff, a composer of this city and proprietor of a muslo store on Eleventh street, near Walnut, was the first real authority to defend tho Jews harp. When tho question was nut" to him he proved his case by two definitions. "Music," ho said, "Is a succession of harmonious sounds. It Is divided Into melody nnd harmony. Melody le a sin glo succession of sounds and harmony li a group of sounds. Now any nrttclo hat makes these sounds Is a musical In strument." He stepped to one of the show cases and came, back with a Jew sharp that looked like some kind of a patent can opener. He placed this against his teeth and began to twang the end of the de vice, and forthwith the gentle strains of 'Comln' Through the live" or "Tfce Campbells Aro Coming," or "Old Dog Tray" well, anyhow, whatever tho tunc may have- been. It was pleasant and proved that Mr. lloscwlg Is an expert performer. Persons who had dropped Into th'o store to buy tho score of a grand opera or n. cantata were deeply moved. You could tell they were deeply moved by tho way they fidgeted and looked at the celling while tho concert was In prog ress. A mm who had come In to buy nn xylophone began to hammer on It under the Impression that ho was help ing out "Did you catch the melody?" asked Mr. Itosewlg when he concluded. The answer was affirmative. "Then," said Mr. Hoscwlg triumphant ly. "tho Jew sharp must be a musical Instrument. Anything that can play a tune Is a musical Instrument." Thfre were two members of orchestras and a half a dozen pianists, singers and othey In Mr. Rosewlg's store at the time. This Jury nodded its collective heads in agreement. Tho Jewsharp, according to Mr. Itosewlg, is a deceptive name. The llttlo Instrument, which sounds some thing like a Scotch begplpc und some thing like an Irrltnble bumble bee. was originally tho Irish, harp, he said. It was originated when u Bchool boy stuck a steel pen point In his desk and twanged It with his fingers. Today It Is among the, favorites of tho southern countryside,' running even the banjo close sceoid. A group of negro bojs. given . Jewsharp, will singe a competitive bflcft and wing danc lug contest which will last until they are chased from trje front of the country store nnd the nero experts will devote hours to the Perfection of some. flourish with w hleh to-stun admirers when next ..n7. '1-,r """key 1" the Straw or "Old Dan T.uoker." "If It Is a musical Instrument," came tho question after Mr. Itosewlg had dls cussed the uses of tho Jewsharp. "why hasn't some ono written muslo for M Why haven't ou, for example, experi mented with a Jewsharp fugue or a fantasy or something ot the kind?" Now Mr. Itosewlg Iins more than 1000 compositions to his credit, all of them, works .which have rcpelved high praise. But ho quickly sidestepped the sug gestion to bo tho pioneer writer of a jewtharp opus. It seems that the. Jawsharp hasn't f "Kuiar pucn. u vanes like the volco of a boy during his jears of ado lescence. Thus the Jewsharp sololtt. nfler pnlnfully picking out tho key of "C major" and preparing to stick there and get down to business, la discon certed to find ihat his Instrument has roamed off Into the wilds of "U flat." Tho Jewsharp requires too much lati tude of operation to harmonize success fully with many other Instruments. "How do you suppose that Importer came to call a. Jewsharp miscellaneous metal7" was tho last, question aiked of Mr. Itosewlg, "Probably he recalled for tho moment what his father did to his Jewsharp after he had asked him flvo times to stop playing It," was suggested. Possibly, possibly. Anyhow, n Jewsharp Is an Instrument of muslo In tho strictly technical sense, nnd only becomes miscellaneous metal after some ono has come to regard It as nn Instrument of torture nnd has dealt with It accordingly.

The Jordan Policy IF a man decides to paint a picture, write a book or build a motor car, and he deter mines to put into that product of his hand and brain the best of all that he has within himself and the best that he can obtain from others, that creation wilt possess a certain quality of goodness which will command the attention, create the desire, and secure the respect) and approval of those who know what they want. There will always be those so lacking in appreciation as to prefer the large, extravagant picture, with the price-mark of social prestige, and those so finished in their tastes as to choose only the" rarest miniature. He who would serve his fellow: men best, must bring within the reach of many the opportunity to enjoy the knowledge of the classical and the ability to detect the coarse, but to possess that which represents the highest development of honest labor as a whole. The Jordan policy is to build a chassis of finished mechanical excellence from the finest units produced by the leading parts specialists of the world and to provide for that chassis a series of custom style bodies distinguished by line and contour, color and comfort, perma nency and good taste. .

The price of a thing is the amount that wc exchange for it, not in money, but in personal happiness, comfort and mental satisfaction. The cheapest motor car, therefore, is not that which sells for the least, nor is it that which sells for the most. It is that which best satisfies our sense of color, gratifies our feelings, does not offend our hearing, possesses an atmosphere that is individual, appeases our good taste, and pos sesses that rare sixth sense bajpnee. The Jordan ideal is to provide a means of self-expression to those who through the pos session of inherent good taste and experience have learned how to enjoy the better things of life. True, there are many who, possessing the appreciation of such a product, cannot afford its possession. Yet in this great new world of democracy and opportunity it is a great satisfaction to know that many who aspire to its possession will attain their goal. -fc2z JORDAN MOTOR CAR COMPANY, Cleveland, Ohio Home of Style and Economy i v t - .; a kL V J.
