FFRULLO CHARMS
IDORA THRONGS
Italian Band Leader Gives Con-
certs Which Score Hit in Big
, Pleasure Ground

Francesca Ferullo charmed the thou
sands who thronged Idora park yester-
day and swept the tremendous audi
ences into whirlwinds of applause 1t
was a proud event for the young Ita1-
ian maestro. He captured his au-
diences and held them enthraIled in the
grip of harmonies such as have rarely
caused "the park beautiful to vibrate
with melody
1t was the opening of Idora park in
Oakland for the summer season The
delightful spring weather and the
promise of concerts by one of the great
est bands in the country brought the
merry makers to Idora by thousands.
Many journeyed from this side of the
bay and extra trains were made up to
carry the crowds from the Key Route
slip to Idora- Ferullo more than made
good and before the afternoon concert
was over the favorite bands of last
season were forgotten.
Ferullo is of the Italian type of con-
ductors. He is highly emotional, as
demonstrative as Creatore, and to the
manipulations of his baton the musi-
clans respond heartily. There is har-
nony In the Ferullo band and careful
uniform Interpretation. The opening
programs were essentially classical
though the former leader of the Ellery
band does not eliminate absolutely the
popular from his program. Among the
numbers played yesterday which won
great applause were selections from
Rigoletto"; grand fantastic, 'Lohen-
grin; overture, "Saracen Slave; grand
fantasie, Carmen" intermezzo, act
three 'L'Amico Fritz and overture,
"Tannhauser."
The Ferullo band will be at Idora

citizens attended the dedication serv-
ices for the erection of the mission bell

siastic praise to the local parlor of the

Superior Judge Thomas J. Lennon,

the ceremonies. The program began
with music by st. Vincent's orphanage
band, and a large crowd soon assem-
bled in front of st. RaphaeFs church.
Judge Lennon made an eloquent intro
ductory address, in which he spoke of
the Native Sons as a patriotic organi-
zation and lauded the mission fathers
as the first pioneers. He contrasted the
conquest of California by the cross
with the later conquest for gold.

SACRAMENTO. April 3.--A condition

XRAY USED TO SHOW
CHHDREN'S DEVELOPMENT
Eastern Physician Makes New
Use of Roentgen Ray

The schoolboy and his shining morn
ing face hereafter may be graded by
the Y ray During growth a childs
shoulder. elbow, wrist. hand, hip, knee.
ankle and foot are altered Study of
these led DIR. Thomas Morgan Rotch of
Harvard to base his classification upon
the wrist and hand. Pictures Of these
parts prove reliable indexes to age.
Having ascertained the physical devel
opment of a child. it is easy to classify
its brain yigor, says the Chicago Trib-
une. According to the physicians
viewpoint the child should not be ad
vanced on account of mental brightness
or precocity, but should be given spe-
cial attention relative to physical de-
velopment until he is found to be in
the normal condition necessary to per-
feet health.
Those children comparatively stupid,
who are shown by the X ray method
to possess normal or more than phys
ical development, should be placed In
lower grades where they will find
their level. They will then progress in
a satisfactory manner and need not
cause their parents anxiety. Today
there are thousands of children who, it
is said, should be in nurseries, but are
in kindergartens. Thousands are in
grade or two above that to which they
rightfully belong, and that merely to
keep abreast of those of their chrono-
logic age. Thousands are in factories
because they have reached the legal
age, but in point of development they
are several years younger.
1t is Doctor Rotch's idea that through
legislation competent physicians should
examine the individual child to deter
mine his anatomical age in relation to
his occupation. A Roentgen picture
proves that large hand with large
bones does not always signify ad-
vanced development. as the develop
ment of the large bones may not be too
great
