Interview with Mr.. Techau

AS Mr.. Haraldt r. Techau has
just arrived from Germany where he
has spent onehalf OF his life, The
Eagle takes this opportunity to pre-
sent to its readers a brief interview
with him. Mr.. Techau is a young
man of American birth and is not a
stranger to Texas, having once served
as director of music in the Texas
christian University at Waco.
Comparing Germany with other
prominent musical countries, Mr..
Techau believes that Germany takes
the lead in musical progress Of the
present day. Considering that most
all of the celebrated living composers
are consciously or uncounsciously in
fluenced by Richard Wagner, the great
modern revolutionist in melodramatic
Tart, and he feels sure that his views
are correct.
Mr. Techau was asked how many
years of work are required for gra-
duation in the great Conservatives?
From three to five years. Most
students admitted thereto are already
well advanced in musical training"
Do not some Of the great German
musicians now reside in America?
yes. Some of the great performers.
but few of the great composers.
Do many Americans study music in
Germany ..- ESQ 1884
Yes, thousands, both men and wom-
en- study in the Conservatives or un-
der private teachers" i0
Why do they do this? was asked.
First: For the prestige attaching
to European training. Second: In ord
er to hear much OF the best music and
to live in a musical atmosphere. Good
performances occur throughout the
year. There, music is a necessity rath-
er than luxury" -v
What OF the cost of a musical train
ing in Germany?
THE cost of a general music train
ing is less than in America. For ex-

The Ohio river all the way down is lined with gravel terraces, frequently rising more than 100 feet above the river, which furnish building sites for the most of the cities along its course. Fourth street in Cin- cinnati is on one of these terraces, 12O feet above the river.
 As the ice was slowly retreating over the area occupied by Lake Erie back to the Niagara escarpment, the main outlet for the ever-increasing glacial lake was through an opening at Fort Wayne, Ind, leading into the Wabash river and thence into the Ohio. This outlet is 200 feet above the present level of the lake Conse- quently the water submerged all the land on the south and west sides of the lake below that level The shore line of this great body of water, to which the name Lake Warren has been given, can be easily traced for hundreds of miles, and, like that south of Lake Ontario. was early chosen for a highway and for building sites.

MAKE OVER LINEN SUIT.
Last Years Costume Will Do with a
 Little Remodeling.

Have you last years summer suit of linen, white tan, or colored, which needs remodeling? The styles of this year differ from those of last year by but a few points, which it is easy to change.
 The latest idea from Paris, and one which bids fair to take firm hold of the American fancy, is using colored cretonne for trimming. Just a. touch style suit to one which is up to date and hobby.
 If your suit is last summers one. all you need, probably, is new set of cuffs, with one of the new adjustable shawl collars which can be put on and taken off at will Or if the coat has a turndown collar and mannish revers, cut them off and finish the front apd neck edges with bands of the cretonne, and if the skirt needs new touch or fresheningIaipl Iapl, finish the lower edge with a band to match the coat
 Probably the jacket of your linen Sull hoppCucu lo po ouoil auu ioooO, and has grown tight in the hips. If so, open up the seams and slash the coat, both front and back, to the depth of about six inches, and finish the low CT edge of the coat with an inch wide band of colored linen and run the bands up along the edges where the coat has been slashed to finish them.
 The appearance of the coat may be improved by changing the buttons. Rip off the old buttons and buy some but ton molds. Cover with cretonne and sew on to the coat. Buttons are sewed to dresses, coats and skirts not only where they are needed, but also where they are not needed, and where they simply serve as trimming.

BEST FORM OF EXERCISE.
Boston Girls Enthusiastic Over the
 Use of DumbbeIls.

There is a good deal of enthusiasm lately over dumbbells among the girls who are always up on the latest for keeping ones self in good trim. They say that dumbbells are better than plain calisthenics without any ap- paratus, because they give you some thing definite to do. These girls have found it a great temptation in the ordinary exercises simply to wave th-, arms and legs about without any par ticular object. Dumbbell drills are better than raising chairs with o3e finger and standing-o stunts, because the average girl can courage with the impossible exercises.
 In one .os..dng house in Boston, where a number of business girls live, there is a dumbbell brigade which meets in one of the girls rooms every night Each girl comes in a kimono and armed with a pair Of lightweight dumbbells. Then they go through a number of simple exercises which one of the crowd. who used to be college girl, learned in the gym
 The girls all say that they are having little trouble in refitting their clothing, as result of their dumbbell drill, but they are wonderfully i'm proved in figure and carriage since they began work some weeks ago.
 Their five exercises are worth know ing, especially to girls who are get ting bit round shouldered from bend ing over their desks all winter, so here they are
 Stand erect with the right foot slightly in advance. Grasping the dumbbells firmly. stretch both arms up as high as possible. Breathe deep ly. Rise on tiptoe if you can.
 Place the left hand with dumbbell against the waist Raise right hand with dumbbell over the head Bend the head and upper part of body to the right. Reverse the motions and repeat them several times. This exercise gives f1exibility to the waist; also lengthens and tapers it.
 First, stand erect. Then bring the upper part of the body forward. the arms holding the dumbbells extended. Let the head drop forward. Inhale deeply. Then with slow exhalations all the while bring the body to an up- right position.
 With dumbbells grasped tightly. stretch both arms upward horizontally. Bend the arms at the elbows, and bring the dumbbells back to the shoul- ders with quick and very strong mo- tion.
 Clutch the dumbbells tightly and bring them vigorously down against the waist. Then thrust both arms down, then out, then up with at least a dozen repetitions After each move ment, return the hands and dumbbells to the first position at the waist line.
 Of course, one should be careful to use only light dumbbells and to avoid the temptation to create knotty mus cles.--Boston Herald

Queen Maud of Norway has innu- merable hobbies and recreations, many of them being of a very useful and practical nature. She devotes many hours to sewing, wood carving and bookbinding, and in regard to the latter work has turned out some real ly beautiful specimens of the craft.
 Like Queen Alexandra her mother, Queen Maud is very skillful with the camera, while such is her skill in out door sports that she is her husbands constant companion when his majesty indulges in skating, skiing, motoring and cycling excursions.

BIG GLACIAL RIVERS

while immense streams of water seo turned over into the Hudson vxiisy through Lake Champlain and Lake George. The Champlain canal has ap. propriated portion of this glacial channel, and passes from the lake to the Hudson river with . lockage of less than 50 feet.
 Before the ice had melted from the Mohawk valley there was an enor- nous amount of glacial drainage car ried off through the Finger lakes and over the higher passes leading into the Susquehanna valley. The stream passing through Seneca lake over the site of Watkins and entering the sus quehanna at Horseheads was specially noteworthy; while the marks of the glacial floods in the Susquehanna val ley are clearly seen at Harrisburg and other places farther down.
 Before the ice had melted from cen tral New York the drainage of the great lakes was held up to the level of the passes from Lake Erie and Lake Michigan leading over into the valley of the Mississippi At first, before the ice had melted off from northern Mich igan, where the lakes are united. there were several independent outlets.
