VANDERBILT G[EE
 CLUB HERE MONDAY
College Musicians Will Rem der Fine Programme at
 the Jefferson Theatre

Vanderbilt Glee club will appear in this This years club numbers p men, and has been pronounced by those who have heard the rehearsals as the best that has rep hesented Vanderbilt university since the days of Charley Washburn, Robert Vaughn, Morton B. Howell and the other artists who have made it famous through out the entire south for 31 years
 This year the club has the unusual good fortune to secure the services for six weeks of James O. Boone of New York. Mir Boone was for three years first assistant to Dudley Buck, the noted com poser of church anthems, and also at tained prominence when he sang the lead ing tenor role in the original Merry Widow company with Ethel Jackson. It was he who arranged the programme which consists of the very latest and catchiest music that can be obtained. Since MT. Boone's return to New York the club has been directed by J. C.. Street of Nashville. who has proven eminently qualified to continue the work where MT. Boone left off.
 In addition to the large number of chorus selections, for which the Vander- bite Glee club, has long been famous this year there are five soloists and quartet who make the programme more varied and thereby the more enjoyable. Mr. McCarveys rendition of Nevin's Mighty Lax a Rose," in which he is accom- panied by the humming of the entire club, makes a very pleasing effect.
 Mir. Street will sing Because by D'Hartelot. MT. Jerry Caldwell, who possesses a deep basso of unusual rich mems of quality, will sing 'Forget-Me- Not" and Mir Edward Riddick will sing the "Garden of Dreams a new song by Molloy. MT. Harvey Pride, who has been the hit of the club for several seasons with his comic selections, is declared to be funnier than ever in ''The Angle Worm wisrle, The progra mme is brought to A close by Mrs. F. l.. Ashfords great Ode to Vandervlt probably the most in spiring college ode that has been com posed.
 The personnel of the club is as follows First tenor, w. s. Ciemmons, F. D. Lan- der. Harvey Pride. V. c. Love, Henry Meeks: second tenor, F. G. Gilliand, E. G. Riddick, John Archer, J. R. Crow, J. A. Sevier: first bass, Wilkins Stubblefield, C. E. Sevier, Baxter Jackson, Douglas Henry. Smith Smith; second bass, l.. II. Lawson. Beggs, Halls Bush, Jerry Cald- well; accompanist, MT. McGarvey.

OVERLOOKING BLOCK SIGNALS
 FOR CITY RAILROAD CROSSINGS

they could do would provide the in- terocking signals for this city.
 With the various grade crossing of the lines equipped with interlocking signals the chances of accidents would be re- duced to minimum and the most or dinary caution would completely do away with the hazard of accidents.
 The Frisco lines have the system at a few crossings now, but 1t is planned to equip many more if not all of them, with the apparatus and reduce the chances of accidents so much more.
 The local street car line and the Louis- vile and Nashville will perhaps parti- cipate in the installation of the signals at those crossings where the three sys- tems meet jointly.
 The idea is in it's infancy yet but 1t is believed the system will result from the informal talk of yesterday

perts In this field are coming to have,
he bends every effort to capturing

that such captives may be made the

capture of the butterflies, difficult as
1t may be, is not the sum and sub
stance of the butterfly experts trou,
bles for If the butterflies are to live
and thrive In their new home their
keeper must be familiar with their
habits and must have transplanted
the vegetation necessary to give them
the same environment they had in
their original home or something
equally as good"
The most beautiful butterflies are
the tropical ones and thus it comes
about that the butterfly farmer Is
most eager to stock his farm with
the live jewels from Central and
South America and the West Indies.
Some Of these tropical butterflies
measure six inches from tip to tip
Of the wings and they are resplendant
in coloring of the most vivid hues.
The butterfly dealer must handle his
stock with greater care than Is be-
slowed by any other merchant. or
course the butterflies sold to collec-
tiers, museums, etc. are dead but ex-
IRENE care must be exercised in han
ding lest their delicate wings be
broken or crushed. Each butterfly
when unmounted is kept in a three
cornered envelope and the butterfly
expert likes to mount valuable spec1-
men as promptly as possible feeling
that the treasure is safer In that
form. The latest approved method is
to mount each butterfly between two
glass plates so that both sides OF the
wonderfully colored wings may be
seen. Another style mount consists
of a square plaque of plaster into the
followed side Of which butterfly
fits while over the specimen is placed
a glass lid which seals it hermetical.

to be hung on the wall like pictures.

nothing in nature or art more beauti-

WOMEN THEN AND NOW
Away back in 1847 a man
named S. D. Edwins lived in
England and wrote a pamphlet
entitled, Counsel to Ladies" A
yellowed copy has just turned up
in a New York collection. He adj
vised the ladies':
avoid contradicting your hus-
band. Whoever is often contra
dicted feels insensibly an aversion
to the person who contradicts. If
your husband is abusive, never re-
tort; retire to your closet and
pout out your complaints in
prayer to God"
This piece of advice he empha-
sized by printing on the margan:
Discreet wives have sometimes
neither ears nor eyes"
