OUTFALL SEWER
NEARLY COMPLETE
FINAL BRICKLAYING WILL BE
DONE THIS WEEK
Rains Delay Formal Finish Few
Days, but Great Engineering Un-
dertaklng Is Practically
Accomplished Now

City Engineer Homer Hamlin declared
yesterday that II no further rains inter-
fere the outfall sewer will probably be
completed this week.
The rains this week have delayed the
final brioklaying.
The completion will come at time
when the city departments most desire to
see such a oonsummation-in advance of
the rainy season.
For some weeks the forces of men have
been gradually decreased until now only
the actual workers at the finish are on
the payrolls Nevertheless at the city
auditors suggestion the council on Mon
day provided. for, the transfer of funds to
carry on the final stages Of construction.
Later a breakwater of stone will he
erected In the harbor at Hyperion, as the
wooden structure Is deemed insufficient TO
Etem the torrential rush that will at times
mark the discharge of the volume in the
big pipe
So many breaks have recently taken
place in the old outfall that damage suits
would have piled up on the city's legal
department had there been other sewage
outlet in sight.
There will probably be some ceremonies
by the workmen when the last bricks are
laid and the sewer is formally completed.

monies do not respond like the modern
violin.
Talking about old violins, as 1 have
said before, why 1 have seen the
Cremonas, during my lifetime, twelve to
fifteen times as many real genuine
Cremona violins as the old masters ever
made. 1 have been shown legions OF
real CO Cremona violins and each one
assured me that his was the real genuine
article. The history follows:
1--WE do not believe that there is per-
son living who is able to say with any
degree of certainty whether violin
having the appearance of age is a gen
uine old violin made by one of the old
celebrated makers or not unless the his
tory of the instrument can be traced
back to it's origin. We are aware that
their are many persons, both performers
and makers, who will look at violin
very knowingly and then proceed to tell
you all about it. Is there any private
mark by which you are able to tell? If
there is such a mark 1t would be the
very first thing that would be copied.
Writers of the history of the violin and
of the celebrated makers give us no
guide whatever to enable us. 10 even
guess at the genuineness of old viollns.
In fact the more we read and the more
we search for information upon this sub
1eCt the more p0IplSASl w WO DSSN'4AAS.
1t is quite certain that none of the great
makers made many, if any two, exactly
alike, while on the other hand it appears
that they were continually changing
something. 1t is true that they all had
their peculiar ideas and notions, but from
the time of the Amatio I1546) the first to
the death of Joseph Guarnerius Q745) the
last of the celebrated makers, they all
worked after the same Cremona school.
',History tells us that the e-Amatio made
yiollns of small model, of large or
grand model that they were colored red,
yellowish red, brown ETC.; they tell us
at such a time they finished their in
struments very finely, at another time
thew became careless and the finish was
neglected and they tell us the same of
ali the others If these makers had sup
posed that their names were to be handed
down to posterity. that they were to be
written about and read about 300 years
later. undoubtedly they would have taken
more pains to mark their instruments In
order that they might be more easily
identified, but 1t seems they bad no idea
that they were doing more than earning
an ordinary living and therefore their
violins. after they were sold, were lost
sight OF and forgotten.
s'Hence 1t is that today only very
few are known to be genuine and these
are held at such high prices chat pro-
fessional musicians can seldom afford 10

HORSE TO DEATH
Startled by Band of MinstreIs, Animal

Frightened to death by music. that

from the store, grabbed the bride and
tried to quiet the animal, but the horse
had become so terrorized that 1t reared
high, carrying Swing with it.
AS the animals forefeet touched the
ground it fell over on it's side and after
few spasmodic Struggles died. Swing
