well attended, many invited guests be-
ing present After the dining was over
speechmaking, songs eand music held
sway.
Maurice Arnold, an American COM

those present. Mr.. Arnold spoke on
Music in America" The Rev. Dana
Bartlett followed with a few words on
the city beautiful, or what his imagin-

Long Beach can afford to pay a
band $4,000 for its services and con-
slider it a good investment. Why should
not Los Angeles, with its larger popu-
lation, afford twice as much for the
amusement of the tourists that come
here and the music loving citizens that

Mlsapplyinq Music.

T went to a fashionable wedding the other day" remarked a man who has little time for such things. and I was decidedly impressed by the character of the music that was played while the assembled guests were walt. ing for the wedding party to arrive. The principal number played by the orchestra was an air from one of the most modern operas. It marks the en- trance of the heroine of the ., who is coming on the scene to bake part in a wedding of complaisance with the hero, who is generally regard. ed as one of the greatest blackguards the world of opera knows. Every character on the stage knows that the Buddhistic wedding ceremony that Is te take place is a sham and the mar riage turns out to be tragedy of the shabbiest sort. And yet that music was played in a church that stands for intelligence if any one congrega, tion in this town does"

The Chile as an Asset

There is undoubtedly a very gravs problem connected with the birth rate. The church in past times furnished a religious motive for large families. and this tended to counteract the natura, tendency of the biYth rajn 4a decline rom economic causes as the period of infancy came to be prolonged in an advancing civilization, says writer In the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, IT the religious motive be destroyed. the economic forces making for fewer children must enjoy freer scope, and as the cost of living rises and the financial burden of rearing and edu- eating children through a long series Of years becomes he;9vier for the aver age parent to bear the scare over race suicide Is likely to be the more pro nounced.

IlnrrIan Zee Cream.

A new industry in the form ot an lee and ice cream manufastory has been started In Monrovia under the proprietorship of one of the attaches to the Liberian commission. The ma chine is of American manufacture, from the New Brunswick Refrigerator company, and has capacity of one ton. It turns out 500 pounds of ice and ten gallons of ice cream daily. It is principally an ice cream machine, but ice is such a rarity that the protector decided to experiment in it's manufac- ture. This is the first effort of It's kind in Liberia and the demand for Ice. especially for fever-stricben sub iects. influenced the experiment. The manager declares that the result has been encouraging and will lead to the ultimate enlargement of the plant with a cold storage attached. This en. terprise has filled a longfelt need in Monrovia, especially among the in valids of foreign birth. The price Of Ice at present is four cents per pound and the price of ice cream per gallon is $40.
