The Reproducing
that has stood the test
THE AMPICO
Recently, at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, a scientific com
parison took place between the pianoforte playing of Leopold
Godowsky and the Ampico-Reproducing Piano.
Mr. Godowsky played three numbers Chopin's
THE Ballade in A Flat, Liszt's Etude de Concert, and
TEST Chopin's Scherzo, C Sharp Minor, Op. 39.
Immediately after each performance by Mr. Go
dowsky, the Ampico repeated his performance from a
previous recording by Godowskv.
rhe comparisons were conclusive. The Ampico reproduce'!
in every detail the actual Godowsky rendition.
No other Instrument has ever been
proven in such a test —Xo Other In
strument Could Survive Such a Test!
——
The Musical Superiority of the
pianos
combined with the scientific perfection
of the Ampico has given the world an
instrument of marvelous beauty
GODOWSKY, Hofmann, Buhliug, Carrcno, Ornstein, and
many other eminent pianists have recorded their interpre
tations for the Ampico to the end that the Chickering-Ampico
may play for you, in your own home, the exact reproduction of
their renditions. The Ampico library of music is wide in its
scope, covering every class of music—classic, operatic, ballad, i
dance and popular-song music, at moderate prices.
Hear the Ampico in comparison with Clarence
Adler at Tech High Auditorium Tuesday even
ing. Nov. 21. Secure complimentary tickets

STATE BOARD SITS
IN PITTSBURGH
Immense Value in New Build
ings Reported by. Dr.
Becht
I All members of the State Board of
j Education, including thoso recently
named to the directing body of Penn-
I sylvanta's educational system, attended
j the meeting of the board in Pittsburgh
; to-day and the reports showed that the
1 cost of conatructlug and reconstruct
| ing school buildings during the year
I July 1, 1915, to July 1, 191ti, amounts
to ?5,500,000, and this amount covers
the cost outside of Pittsburgh and
I Philadelphia only. In the former the
amount oxpended for buildings and
| equipment was $1,34t>,000 and in the
j latter city $2,449,000. Thirty-one coun-
I ties took advantage of the standard
I plans for smaller buildings prepared
! and distributed without cost to the dis
tricts by the State Hoard of Education.
The greatest building activity Is shown
In Allegheny, Luzerne and Westmore
land counties.
The permanent state school fund
showed $240,000 invested in high-class
securities. This fund comes from
escheated estates and net receipts from
forest reservations. The income only
may be expended for thfe purpose of
promoting practical education and for
equalizing educational advantages
throughout the commonwealth. Sev
eral poor districts have been made the
beneficiaries of this fund.
The board discussed at some length
the problem of dealing with the mat
ter of consolidation and making ade
quate provision for the many small
schools that are scattered throughout
the state. According to recent report,
there are over 800 schools where the
attendance is under 10; a number are
reported where the attendance runs
from 2 to T; in on district there are 9
schools with the largest attendance at
15 and the smallest 4.
Special attention was given to the
question of continuation schools. The
policy of the State Board of Education
in this special form of school activity
Is to have the emphasis put upon the
preparation of the pupil for Immediate
service. The board's policy was ex
pressed in a resolution "That the con
tinuation schools are to be considered
as industrial agencies and that their
activities should be so administered
as to promote immediately the in
creased efficiency of the pupils."
The board also took action on the
preparation and publication of a sum
mary of the school laws in several for
eign languages—ltalian, Polish and
Hungarian.
j The board passed upon the agree
ment to purchase the Millersville State
Normal School. The contract calls for
the payment of $4,725. This property
is valued at $700,161 and the Indebted
ness to be assumed by the Common
wealth amounts to $34,000. Milersville
is the ninth school to bo purchased.
Negotiations are pending with Kutz
town for the transfer of that property,
j The value of the ten normal school
! properties purchased and under con
sideration is over $5,000,000.
! The members present were William
Eauder, James M. Coughlin, E. S. Tem
pleton, John I*. Garber, Robert C.

OLD-TIME COLD t
CURE-DRINK TEAr {
Get a mnall package of Hamburg
Breast Tea. or as the German folks
call It, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at
any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful
of the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve and
drink a tearup full at any time. It is
the most efToctive way to break u
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores. relieving congestion. Aiso
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once.
It is inexpensive and entirely veg-
Üble, therefore harmless.
Christmas Is Coming!
Reading Matter For a Whole Year For the Whole Family Is the
Christmas Gift Extraordinary Which Is Herewith Offered
Every family should have at least three periodicals—the best newspaper in its community, the best
monthly magazine from the standpoint of broadening education and absorbing reading, and the best
magazine devoted to women and the home interests.
The Telegraph has made arrangements with two magazines the American Magazine and the
AN oman s Home Companion so that you will not only be well provided with the right sort of literature
for the year to come but will save money by obtaining your favorites through this combination offer.
] he 1 elegraph wants to carry its message ol construetiveness, good cheer and service into every
home in and within fifty miles of Harrisburg and is pleased to associate with it two of the best maga
zines in the field of periodicals to-day.
The American Magazine
To read The American Magazine regularly is like talking to a wise, experienced man. Because The
American Magazine is made up of what other men have done—how they solved their difficulties, how
they achieved success, how they secured good health.
It is written by statesmen, doctors, lawyers, business men and by a staff of experienced writers who
interview other men, until it is the most valuable publication that any man can read.
It is not a mere business magazine, however. It has many bright, entertaining stories.
It is a magazine for the whole family, but with the special idea of offering helpful suggestions on
important questions.
Woman's /.lome Companion
If the Woman's Home Companion were a woman about your own age, and came to sec you once a
month, she would be the most welcome guest and the most remarkable guest that ever set foot in your home.
You never knew a woman who could tell such fascinating stories—you would sit up till all hours of the
night listening to her talcs.
You never knew a woman more inspiring. *
You never met a woman who knew so much about so many different interesting things.
A ou never saw such a hand in the kitchen—so many new ideas, as well as sensible notions about the
every-day planning of the housework.
You never met a woman, even if she had iust come from Paris, who knew so well the proper thing
in gowns. ,
never met a woman who could tell you so well what other women were thinking, and doing, and
eating, and wearing, and how they were bringing up children.
If the Companion were a woman, instead of a magazine, you would be all a-flutter of expectancy
when the time came for her arrival. That is just what the Companion is like. When you know it, you
want the Companion as a guest in your home every month.
A Convincing Offer!
If you bought either one of these magazines by the month you would pay fifteen cents for it. Ona
magazine purchased this way for the year would cost you SI.BO. Both magazines $3.60. Our plan
will give you the magazines each month by mail at your home, promptly on publication date, for but
a few cents more than this paper alone would cost. It is a big saving in convenience and money.
This Is All It Costs
The Telegraph by mail or carrier to the home $3.00; with The American Magazine and Woman's
Home Companion for one year, $4.00.

Grouch Against the Guy
That Breaks 'Em
\
By HKATIIU K FAIRFAX
"I have been going about with a
young man for the past four months.
We have quarreled several times mid
once we went jso far as to see nothing
of each other for weeks because my
friend failed to keep appointments,"
writes "Worried." "He begged me al
ways to give him another chance, and
faithfully promised to keep every ap
pointment in the future.
"I gave him another trial and for
awhile he kept his promise, but now he
seems to have forgotten that he ever
made a pledge to me. lie professes to love
me and claims that if 1 were to know
why he does not put in an appearance
X would excuse him. but when he does
make explanations the excuses he of
fers are not satisfactory. 1 am fond of
him. but 1 doubt him."
The sanctity of engagements Is a
thing too many people fail to realize. It
does not seem to come home to them
that when they say they are to be at a
given place nt a certain time they have
pledged their word and that not being
there is actually dishonorable.
Probably your friend would not lie
about anything he regarded as vital,
and It does not occur to him that when
he tells you he is going to come to sea
you or to meet you at a certain hour
and then fails, that he is lying to you.
No matter whether his excuses bo gooa
or ill, the point is they should be raadu
in advance, not afterwards.
Many men regard social engagements
lightly and those concerned with busi
ness seriously. Quite right us far as
it goes. But any obligation one as
sumes is still an obligation and u
pledge of one's Word, whether it bo
to meet a friend at the movies or to be
present at a meeting of bank direc
tors, tho point is that one's word is at
stake.
When a man Invites a girl to thu
theater and finds that his sick mothei
wants him to stay home or that his
employer needs him, it is right and
sane that he should choose family ties
or business advancement in preference
to pleasure. No reasonable girl ought
to allow her inclination for pleasure
to make her Interfere with filial duty
or the best Interest of a man she likes.
No woman, be she reasonable or
otherwise, likes to have her own per-
sonality valued so lightly that a man
lets her sit around waiting for him and
in lordly wise neglects to explain. 1
The man or woman who makes an
engagement and falls to keep it. fan- 1
ing also to make explanation, stamps
him or herself as one who does not be- 1
lleve either in the xacrudness of &
vkhrnf 0 ° r rights of another indt-
We should all form the habit of list
ening patiently to reasonable explana
tions. We should never get Into th >
lordly and selfish habit of falling to
keep appointments and calmly expect
ing the other person to sit and wait.
