THE PHONOGRAM Quartette records are made by placing the four members of the quartette directly in front of the horn, the leader taking his position to one side and the bass on the other with the tenor and alto in the rear. When the quartette sings together, care should be taken that the voices blend and are well balanced. If the tenor or bass has a solo, he should move as close to the horn as possible while singing his part and fall back to position when the other voices join in. It is very hard to determine the exact position for each singer until you have heard the voices and it is always well to try them before making a record and note the volume of each voice, then use your best judgment in placing them.

THE JUDGE, THE LAWYER, AND THE THEORIST DISCUSS THE PHONOGRAPH. • 0+ . • < A 4 The judge was complaining of the length of his calendar and the time it took to try cases; the lawyer was complain- ing of the time it took to get'a case to trial; the thought- fill theorist was laughing superciliously and wondering why they did not have the sense to apply modern time-saving inventions to the problems that distressed them. li If the lawyers,** said the judge, “ would only econo- mize time a little in their arguments and methods of try- ing cases and would refrain from clogging the dockets with absurdly trivial suits that ought never to be brought, the administration of the law would be much amplified, the judges would have an easier time and there would not be so much complaint about delay.**
