Columbia Graphophone Co NEW YORK MERCHANT MARINE NEEDS TALKERS Music is Needed to Pass Away the Long Hours at Sea — War Camp Community Service Forced to Abandon This Work Through Lack of Funds — Has Equipped Many Ships izations would aid in this cause to provide means of recreation for the men of the American merchant marine by giving them talking machines or other musical instruments, they would be doing a great work. Seamen on the many ships of the new merchant marine flying the American flag are being neglected as regards their personal comfort and well-being, as we may judge from the life they lead at sea. The foreign ships which touch at New York are provided with athletic equipment, magazines, books and talking machines and records by foreign societies in charge of this work. British ships are especially well cared for by the members of the various BritishAmerican societies, but the men of the American merchant marine, if reports are well founded, are in need of many of the comforts of life which would do so much to make the long hours at sea pass more quickly. The one thing most desired by the sailors when at sea is a talking machine and a plentiful supply of records, for on the slow merchant ships the long nights when the vessel is sluggishly plowing along through the seas seem interminably long. Music is a great factor in relieving the tedium of the time when the men are not working. The War Camp Community Service, recognizing this need, has equipped many ships with machines and records in the past, but now through lack of funds is unable to continue the good work. If other organ MIDSUMMER NUMBER OF TONEARM August Number of Columbia Graphophone Publication Full of Fun and Activities The midsummer number of the Tonearm, the factory magazine of the Columbia Graphophone Co., has appeared and is unusually full of pep for the languid season of the year. The active energy manifested in the plant finds its way into the columns of the paper, which are full of personal items which help make the daily work pleasant and agreeable. The cover is in blue and gold and throughout the pages are many clever cartoons taken from Judge. The various activities of the employes during the month just past are told in full with photographs of the people most in the limelight. In addition to the lighter articles there is some useful information on the planting and care of trees and many health hints designed to aid the workers to keep in the best physical trim.

W. 0. PILGRIM ON VACATION Assistant General Manager of Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co. Enjoyed Fishing With S. A. Ribolla, General Manager W. G. Pilgrim, assistant general, manager of the Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co., Inc., left New York last month for his annual summer vacation, and, following his 1918 itinerary, met S. A. Ribolla, general manager of the Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co., of Illinois, at Grand Beach, Michigan. These two popular members of the talking machine trade spent three weeks fishing, golfing and swimming. Last year Mr. Pilgrim won the fishing honors, while Mr. Ribolla received the golfing crown, but the rivalry for this year's honors is unusually keen, and we can, therefore, look forward to some real "fish" stories and golf cards of 80 or thereabouts.
