An Introductory leaflet was received
last week, the cover embellished with
a dainty picture Of Frances Pelton-
Jones and Paul Dufault in XVII and
XVIII century costumes, and the first
page bearing the following preamble;
"The revival Of the harpsichord is
like the restoration Of lost art It
recalls memories of Bach, Handel
and Scarlatti II opens up vistas in
classic lore for both voice and instru-
ment in a way that the modern piano
cannot do. For when we remember
that the old masters did not write for
the piano, which at that time was not
in existence, that its tone Is entirely
different, It at once becomes evident
that to hear their music in It's pristine
beauty, It must be produced under
original conditions, upon the original
instruments, namely, harpsichord and
clayichord. The latter Is too soft and
delicate toned for general concert use,
but the harpsichord, with It's two
keyboards, It's six combination pedals
and variety Of effects, is truly rev.
elatlon in bringing out the clarity
and beauty Of the different parts in
contra-puntal composition 1t also
offers an explanation for the number
of repetltlons we find in old classics,
since each re-eitry Of the theme is
capable of some new effect, impos-
slble to produce on the piano where
the tone remains the same. As an
accompaniment to the voice, especial
Ily In old English, italian and French
songs, It is most effective. An early
Scotch or English ballad takes on a
new charm when heard with the harp

In Pierce county, the home of

a big margin. tl.v
In Spokane, the supposed
stronghold of Lawrence, the same
results were shown, with about
1000 votes cast. Hodge led both
Paulhamus and Lawrence, who
were running close together, by
over 900 votes.

and will probably be nominated
when all returns are received.
Senator Dan Landon easily led
the field in the first district for
the congressional nomination. de-
feating his nearest rival, George
H. Walker, by about two to one
vote. Stanton Warburton of Ia
coma had no opposition for re-
nomination in the Second district,
and drew handsome vote. In

have favored F. M. Goodwin
against Nelson w. Durham.

w. H. Plummer of. Spokane for
the lieutenant governorship by a
two to one vote. e. G.. Mills for
attorney general and w. H. Kauf-

School days are here again.
This morning Tacoma mothers
washed $1,000 tiny hands and
faces, combed $4,000 tousled
heads, sewed on $4,000 buttons
and hustled 1900 rosy checked
Tacoma youngsters off to the first
day of "readin', 'ritin'. an 'ritn-
metic."
This morning Johnnie pro-
pounded at least dozen perfect
ly good reasons why he should
not attend school at all this year,
at any rate in short trousers, and
-flatly refused to accompany little
sister Mary, who trudged away
alone. her books under her arm,
proud and starchy in her new
apron.
Five hundred teachers have
taken up their nine months task
of teaching these 10000 person
ages. Some of them Johnnie
knows, having had dealings with
them last year; others are new
to him and he is regarding them
with that keen eye of unbeliev-
ing distrust, meanwhile pegging
a wad of chewed paper with un-
erring aim at the back of little
Whillie's head.
But this is the first day. To-
morrow Johnnie and the rest Will
have worked off the superheat
left from vacation time and will
have settled down to real business
perhaps.
The first day has always been
a tragedy, and always will be.
There are tears and sighs and
heartaches. Yet there is some
thing about the first day that
makes 1t a happy one 70 be re-
membered. 1t Is the beginning
ola new life for every one of the
tousled heads that mother sends
away with tender pat and a kiss
on that first day.
And today Is that day.

Jules Verdrines of France today

winner of the meet. No American
machine was able to do better
than 7S miles an hour and in the
competition against time each
contestant must fly 124 miles.
They can fly at AMI times during

Vedrin es' time was one hour,

fastest lap was the 18th, when
he flew Ala miles in 2:1S.
