Lucky for posterity it was that so

for existence. 1t would have smoth-

would not have gone mute. His ia

in which the boy and his three sisters
enjoyed happy years and were well
schoolcd. \ locally famous ViOlinist
taught him the piano and perhaps in
spirCd him to make it sing like the
stringed Instrument. At eight he
played at his first concert for chart
ty. When his mother asked how he
felt on facing an audience he grumpi-
ly replied, "Oh, they were all looking
at my new lace collar" in which one
of his biogr1phcrs Shrewdly sees the
germ of Chopin's lifelong contempt for
popular audiences.
The famous ElSncr, director of the
Warsaw conscryatoire, was pleased to
teach him the theory of music, har-
mony and countcrpoint. During these
years Chopin wisely rambled through
the country, picking up folk songs and
rustic dances, all throbbing with the

Chopin was born in ZclaZowa-W VIOLA,
near Warsaw, on March l, 1909. Dur
ing the life of his parents the land
which SobicSkl made glorious had been
devastated by merciless wars and di-
vidrd between Russia, Prussia and
Germany. His father was a French
pOlandCr. His mother was Of native
blood, and the infant drank deeply Of

beled him "Chopinette," 50 we may
believe that not many broken hearts
marked his flight from Poland.
His first love worthy the name was
ConStautia GlaQoWska, Il student In the
Warsaw conscrvatolre. Whether they
met often or at all is not quite known.
He was supposed to have been i'll love
with another living elsewhere, when
Constantia came in his path. She sent

luton broke out and he fled with the
rest the pupils of the ConServatoire
Waylaid his coach, started Il concert on
the spot and with Il pretty touch of
sentiment presented him with silver
cup filled with the earth of their be
loved Poland. This earth was strewn
over Chopin's grave when he was in

His state of mind on getting safely
to Paris can be imagined from letter

WON'T give AWAY
Street ENDS

Chairman Stewart of the coun-

not in favor of giving away the
city waterfront now held in street
ends to private parties by street
vacation proceedings unless the
city gets full value.
The North End Lumber COM
pany wants a street vacated that
extends into the waterfront at its
mill and the, Defiance mill wants
another. Stewart and Councilman
Rankin today went over the mat
ter and both agreed unless the
companies get together and offer
the city one piece of waterfront
for the two streets the vacations
will be denied. The two streets
will amount to a strip of water
front 100 feet wide.

Eli TRANSFORM Err
SMASHED

The installation of the power
from the city lines at the South
Tacoma pumping station promises
to lbe delayed somewhat and II
may take 60 days more before II
can be utilized.
The big $4,000 transformer
when unpacked yesterday was
found to have been wrecked In
transmission. Whether it was
damaged so as to interfere with
it's operation is not yet known.
Electrician Lauzon, however, is
taking no chances and he will not
accept the machine. If it is put
in at all it will be on the guar
antee of the General Electric COM
pany. If another transformer has
to be secured it will delay the
operation of the plant 60 days.
