Phil MemoIi's Progress

''The many Birmingham friends of Phil

 about two and a half years ago for the
 purpose of studying theory and compost

 letter from Memoli dated Serno. Italy, August 22. Among other things he says
 I see from the Birmingham papers that the ladies of the Music Study club have been succe ssful in having concerts In the pari1s again this year. These are bound to bring about better musical conditions. They will be educational to the public, especially if good class of music is played. The quality of popular music Is
 being discussed in this part of the world. Only recently the 'Pedagosic Musical

 against the operetta and canzonette. and il was stated in the congress that the German public deeply suffered from the enormous diffusion of vulgar music. It is claimed that the ear for good music l | inferior stuff. Those who appreciate se- rious music by master composers will

A VISION OF THE PAST

The boat will be open to public inspec- tion almost immediately.
 "A relic. marvelously old, and strangely moving to the imagination of men who remember history" is the way Philip Gibbs describes the barge. 'It was,'' he says, 'the wreck of an old boat, with timbers blackened and routed in the deep mud where so many secrets of the past lie buried beneath this modern Lon don of ours. Digging down for the foun- dations of the new county hall at Vest minister, workmen had stuck their spades against the ribs of that old skeleton, and then had revealed it's shape and size. It was a Roman galley, built of oak that grew in Gaul when Pan was worshiped Tn the woods 2000 year sago. The timbers were hoisted on to a trolley, and work ingmen who had escaped, or recovered, from the strike fever drove their load through the streets of London. and then through Kcnsington Gardens. What have you got there, mates?' was shouted by soldier encamped in the gardens aftei strike duty and the answe'' caHle back: "A Roman barge. Bill.
