rhe musical section OF Bluehill's sum-
mer colony is preparing to give another of
its annual musical feasts. The date is
Wednesday, Aug.4. The character of the
affair may be inferred from the list OF the
participants. which, it will be observed,
includes the names of some of the worlds
most widely-known artists.
First comes the incompatible Kneisei
quartette, composed Of Franz Kneisel, l..
j. Bostelmann, violins, Max Zach, viola,
and willem Willeke, vioioncello; Mrs
Thomas Taper, pianoforte; Charles RAJ
bold, baritone, and Mrs. Rabold, soprano,
oNNew York; Horatio Parker, professor
OF music at Yale. pianoforte, and COM
poser; Miss Victoria Kneisel, pianoforte.
A feature OF the concert will be q per-
Torrance by the Parker Point symphony
orchestra" OF twenty-five performers.
The program will contain Schumann's
quintette for pianoforte and strings, a
vioioncello solo, by Servais; pianoforte
sonata by Beethoven; new songs by Prof
Parker, and a musical pleasantly for
string orchestra and toy instruments.
The proceeds are for the Bluehill road
improvement fund. The tickets some OF
them : come high, being IS, $3.50, $50,
| with general admission at so cents. Tick
cts may be had Of W. 1. Partridge, j. NJ.
Snow and the Bluehill house, Bluehiil viii
lage; Miss n. Josephine Sweet, Parker
Point. Mail orders sent to George F.
| Cochran. treasurer Of the fund, will re-
| ceive prompt attention.
Although his name does not appear up
on the program, H. E. Krehbiel, A. NJ,
| music critic of the New York Tribune, is
having whole lot to do with the affair.

ment Of music beat in perfect time upon
crude instruments.
The American Indians retain many Of
their old forms handed down from un-
known generations. They danced them
until the government, in latter years, put
| stop to them, as being the means OF
arousing too much excitement. One Of
the chief festivals Of this people was the
sun dance, a kind of religious observance
and celebration of the maturity OF the
young braves, who put themselves to the
prove their endurance and stoicism. In
contrast to this is the wonderful dance
to the sun goddess, which is an annual
occurrence in Japan. 1t is a weird spec
tacle which appeals both to the eye and
the Imagination Of the beholder.
In Italy, one of the most interesting
entertainments for tourists is the dance
of the Tarantella--a wild frenzy OF motion,
supposed originally to be the only cure
for the form Of insanity produced by the
bite Of the tarantula. According 10 re-
cords, Christianity al first encouraged
dancing, as a heritage from the Hebrews.
Although this has passed away in most
places, a curious survival o: the old
custom is found in Seville, where the
choir boys OF the cathedral go through a
sacred dance each year with great solem-
nity.N
The first revival OF dancing as an art was
in Italy. in the fifteenth century. After
ward the ballet was transpIanted by Cath
crime de Medici to France, where it rooted
itself SO deeply that France now leads all
countries in grace and refinement OF dane
ing. The quadriile is the patriarch OF our
popular dances, having been centuries old
in Europe before it came to America in
1915. Upon its arrival here 1t superseded
the stately minuet, and in turn was dis
placed by the ever-popular round dance
The Virginia reel, or, as it was sometimes
called, the Sir Rodger de Coverley, is an
old-time dance, with which the young
people even now seem loath to part. The
waltz, the Nestor OF the round dances, was
given to US by Germany in 1872. The two
step, the most popular OF all modern meas
ures, is purely American.

For several years the event OF the sum-
mer season has been the engagement OF
the Fadette women's orchestra, and this
summer they return after An absence OF
two years. Since their last appearance
here, Mrs. Caroline Nichols, the
director, and her band Of young women
have toured the country, and in the West
they proved to be a. big . sensation ~
they have been in the East.
This season they will give . series OF
popular concerts, afternoon and evening,
before the regular vaudeville performance.
and will be distinct feature ON . vaude-
willie bill OF unusual character.
The bill will include the Dankmar-
Schiller troup, acrobats; Marion Carson.
the dainty miss who was for some years
. strong feature Of the Weber and Field
forces; Fox and the Miliership sisters in .
lively act; Emerin Campbell and Aubrey
Bates will present . one-act comedy
entitled 1.-TWO Hundred Miles from

Others are Morrow and Schellberg in a
singing and dancing sketch, Veronica and
Hurl-Falls in an acrobatic novelty, and Ed

progress such that our past records

The joint resolution submitting an
amendment of the constitution pro-
viding for an income tax will be sub
mitted 10 the states for ratification,
and must be adopted by the legisla.
ture of three fourths of them to be-
come effective. 1t is too early &c
predict the outcome, but it looks as il
the proposition might not be success
full, and should this prove to be the
case the question of an income tax
will probably he dead for many years
to come. Should the revenue from
the new tariff law be sufficient, there
would, of course, be no need of an in
come tax, but the contention has
been made that such tax should be
made constitutional to provide for an
emergency income in case of war or
other critical times. The corporation
tax, il finally put at per cent, will
provide many millions, and with the
increased duties upon tobacco and
prosperous condition throughout the
country, it is believed sufficient reve-
nue. will be had from the bill without
resorting to any other direct taxation.

DR.. Lewis Hodgkins shows us an inter-
esting document found among some old
papers-a license to own a carriage, or
rather certificate that the owner, Joseph
Dean, name prominently associated with
the early history OF Ellsworth, had paid
the annual rate OF two dollars for the
privilege. 1t suggests the possibility that
some day the licenses now granted to au-
tomobile owners may be as much of Gu
riosity. The paper reads as follows:
Certificate to an Gunner of a Carriage charge
able Nth the yearly rate Of Tao Dollars.
No. AL. This is to certify, that Joseph
Dean, Of the town of Raynham, in the
county OF Bristol, in the fourteenth
collection district Of Massachusetts, has
paid the duty Of two dollars for the
year to end on the thirty-frst day OF
December next, for and upon two wheel
carriage for the conveyance OF persons, not
hanging upon steel or iron springs, called .
chaise owned by him.
This certificate to be of no avail any longer
than the aforesaid carriage shall be owned by
the said Joseph Dean, unless said certificate
shall be produced to the collector. by whom
it was granted, and an entry be made thereon.
specifying the name Of the then owner Of said
carriage, and the time when he or she became
possessed thereof.
Given in conformity with an act OF Con-
gress passed on the oath day Of July, 1918.

THE WEATHER

The weather of July in Imperial valley was less oppressive this year than last year, owing 0 the lower percentage of humidity. There were but three or four sticky" days in the month and but few warm nights. It was pretty comfortable summer wealth CT. The mean maximum was 1O6 de- grees, the same as for July of last year, and the mean minimum was 75 degrees The mean low humidity was 23 per cent this year, whereas it was 57 per cent in July last year. There were four partly cloudy days in the month
 Following is the record for seven days past

CLIMATES COMPARED
Records Show Temperature of Yuma
 and FL Centro to be Identical

Climatic conditions in Imperial val ley and Yuma are compared fre- quently and heatedly by denizens of the desert region, and positive as- sertions concerning the matter are based upon entire lack of authentic meteorological data. The Yuma par tisan asserts that his town has a milder climate and is to Imperial val ley as Purgatory is to Hades. The valley dweller scornfully declares that Yumaites have to come across the river to get a decent nights sleep in the summer.
 For the edification and instruction of participants in the annual hot weather CT gabfest, the following precise rec ords for the first three weeks of July, 1909, are given:
 Yuma-mean maximum tempera- ture, 106 degrees mean minimum, 7j degrees; mean humidity at p. m., 29 per cent.
 Fl Centro-mean maximum, 106 de-  grees; mean minimum, 75 degrees; mean humidity at 5 p. m., 23 per cent
 Brawley-Mean maximum, 107 de- grees; mean minimum, 72 degrees; mean humidity at 5 p. m, IS per cent.
 The temperature at Yuma and El Centro was precisely the same, but Yuma had a little more humidity. Brawley was hotter during the day by one degree and cooler at night by three degrees, and the humidity was considerably less. Any advan- tage in the way of comfort was dis tinctly with Brawley. < During the month of August the rains in Arizona show greater humidity than ever pre- vails this side of the river.
