MAKE SCHEDULE
FOR PARK MUSIC
Committee Will Have Matter in
Hand-Bids Will Be Re-
ceived Thursday.

The Council Committee on Grounds
and Buildings will meet on Thursday
night OF next week to receive a re-
port Of subcommittee which recon-
menus calling for bids for park music,
requiring band Of twenty five musi-
clans, the total cost not to exceed So
ooo, and the concerts to run ten weeks.
more or less. II has been claimed that
TINS plan gives an advantage to the
Blues Band, which is non union. The
Stein and Kessnch bands, having to
pay union prices, could not add week
or TWO to the season unless they used
more than the usual number Of ap-
prentice boys The salary list of the
Blues Band not being fixed, the price
might be cut. and twelve or more
weeks offered
II was suggested yesterday that in
stead of having weekly concerts at
Monroe Park, they be held at River
dence district which has secured COM
parativelH little from the city.
The tentative schedule, subject to
change by the full committee. is:
Chimhorazo. Monday nights; jefferson.
Tuesday nights Riverside, Wednes-
day nights; Washington, Thursday
nights; CANDLES Hill. Friday nights,
and Nalltam Byrd on Saturday after
moons. Another suggestion is that one
OF the bands in making its bid may
throw in as an added inducemert an
extra performance on Saturday. 50
that there may be park concerts both
on Saturday afternoons and at night.
The point is made that the WEDNESDAYS
night concerts must be in some park
that will not interfere with any
church services. and there is general
approval of the pal TO select s.s
parks and let each have its regular
concert night each week.
So far as the list Of parks is con
cerner. 1t is matter TO be determincc
by the Grounds and Buildings Com
1nittee, and may be changed from time
to time. Members OF tho committee
assert that there is nothing in the re-
port that park keepers arc lobbying
10 prevent having music in certain
parw because of the extra work in
volved. The general rule OF prefereuc e
10 the larger parks Will apply. though
II the number OF parks having con-
certS is reduced tho cost Of bandstapds

ORDERLINESS IS BIG ASSET

To teach children habits Of neat.
ness, system, and order, says Orison
SWEET Marden in an article in
Success Magazine" is to insure
some degree. at least, Of success.
Yet they are often brought up amid
disorder and confusion, allowed to
throw things down just where hey
use them, and to form sIovenIy and
and slipshod habits. They are not
taught to put things where they belong,
and consequently they grow up
shackIed with handicaps which they
can rarely throw off
If there is any deIusion in the
world, it is that doing things just
for now" dropping things wherever
one may happen to be temporarily
saves time. On the contary, this is
a great time waster and a great de.
moralizer of character. A bad
habit not only tends to repeat itself,
but to increase the tendency in that
direction,
