TO PLAY WITH EXPRESSION
Amateur Musicians Should Look for
the Exceptional Notes, =

II those amateur musicians who
lament, ooh, if l could only play with
expression" would only cultivate the
habit of looking a little closer for
the marks of expression, their play
ing would be attended with better
results. Here are just few of the
points for which student should
search before he has discontinued
his investigation of the work. .
After reading the piece through,
and before attempting to play it, we
should always look for the express
sive elements in it-that is to say,
the notes which are exceptional to
meter, rhythm, key or mode; in other
words, for the appropriations, long
and short notes occurring by excep-
ton, repetitions, higher or lower
auxiliary notes, chromatic notes, in
terva1s Or chords, high notes re-
placing low notes, notes which
change the direction or plan of the
rhythmical design, suspensions or
appogiaturas, etc. The pupil should
discover the notes and passages re-
curing accentuation, and should
mark them himself, accents, stops,
rs, SIS, ifs, p's, pp's, ETC., and cor
rect all the faulty expression marks.
In this way the player may come
nearer to the composers intention
and make his music more Interesting
to his hearers.-M. Mathis Lussy.

SUGAR ANDEGGS SHOOT UP
Both Household Necessities Go Sky
ward But Present Price May
Lower Soon.
BURKE OFFERS EXPLANATION

Yes, sugar has gone up 81 hum
dred," answers the grocer as the as
tonished Bemidji housekeeper asks
him why it is costing her more for
sugar this week than it did last.
During the past week or ten days
sugar has gone up from Sc hum
dred pounds to 1925, then to $3.50,
to $6.75, and is now selling for as
high as 81.
T. ]. Burke, president of the North
ern Grocery, wholesale dealers in Be
midi, speaking of the sugar price
raise, said this afternoon:
Because Of the extremely dry con-
ditions in the old country and in Gu
ba, the sugar industry has been much
damaged. Germany and Austria
produce more than half of the entire
sugar output Of the old country, and
from the information that. our com.
pany has been able to secure, the to-
tai loss of sugar in the old country
amounts to about 33 1-3 per cent.
IF such is the case, and the, Ger
many and Austria output has been
damaged by half, it of course, means
that approximately II per cent of the
entire output of the old country has
been lost.
However, the high price of sugar
will not continue for more than a
short time, as no beet sugar is now
on the market. Beet sugar will be on
the market in another month";
Sugar is not the only article, that
has gone up at "a startling rate dur
ing the past week, as eggs have in
creased to Is cents dozen. They
are selling for IS in the cities, and
may go higher here.

ELEVATOR 100 YEARS OLD
Today Marks Anniversary Of Otis
Patent, for High Building.

Boston, Mass, August 3.-One
hundred years ago today there was
born in the little town of Halifax.
VT, man whose inventive genius
led the way for the erection of the
skyscraping buildings that now dis
tinguish every American city, and in
cidentally added millions of dollars
to the value of the real estate.
The man was Elisha G. Otis. His
invention was the elevator, undoubt-
eddy one of the most important and:
useful inventions of the nineteenth
Gentry. Without the facilities offered
by the elevator for reaching any de-
sired height the tall buildings of to-
day, it is hardly necessary to state,
would be wholly impractical.
Otis began life as farmer, but his
inventive genius led him to turn his
attention to mechanical pursuits. AZ
ter engaging in various lines OF man
ufacturing in Albany, Troy and one
OfJWO other places ne finally located
in Yonkers. where he was given
charge of the erection of some build
ings for a manufacturing company.
In erecting the building it became
necessary to construct an elevator for
use on the premises, and in connec-
ton with this Mr.. Otis devised plan
to prevent the fall Of the platform
in ease Of the breaking Of the hoist
ing cables. It was this safety device
that brought the elevator into prac-
tical use.
