FIRST OF THE FIVE RECITALS

The first Of the series of five re-
citals, which is to be given by Miss
Esther May Plumb, the distinguished
American contralto, will take place
soon.
Miss Plumb is one of the greatest
contraltos before the public today;
she has a voice of great beauty and
power. 1t will be pleasure to hear
an artist who has such sense Of
beauty and voice with such emo
tional endowments, and technical &C
quirements to interpret them. Miss
Plumb has appeared with much favor
in several of the larger cities Of
Michigan, and this recital is one
which should be attended by all in
Alma who are in the least interested
i'll music. Your attendance will sup
port the School of Music and help
bring other artists of note to the city.
1t might be mentioned that nego-
tiations are under way which it is
hoped will bring one of the greatest
pianists to Alma also-a man who
has just come to America from Fin
land, and who won great success in
his first recital in Chicago.

NEW VIOLIN INSTRUCTOR.

1t has been worth waiting some six
or seven weeks for violin instructor
since Alma has been fortunate enough
to secure the services OF Mr. Alvin
/. Barton, OF Chicago. Mr.. Barton
has been trained under Lewis OF Chi
~eago. teacher Of Maud Powell, one of
the great violinists of the world. He
has also been trained in Berlin under
Emanuel Wirth, also under Rcmy in
the National Conservatory at Paris.
He was for some time leader of the
first violns in Cornell University
Symphony orchestra, where he also
played viola. Alma surely is fortu-
nate to secure the Services of a
young man so full of enthusiasm and
love for his work, combined with the
broad experience and training that he
has had.
1t is the desire of the School of
Music to Organize two orchestras An
intermediate orchestra for the bcne
fit OF amateur players and a regular
orchestra to accompany the Choral
club. 1t is hoped that the work Of
Mr. Barton and the plans of the de
partment will meet with a hearty re-
Spouse from the student body.

WOMEN SHOULDN'T
BE FIRST AT SEA, DR..
ANNA Fl. SHAW SAYS

BOSTON, April "a reputation of the
old law of the sea-"women and children
frst"-was the feature Of the address Of
Dr. Anna H. Shaw at an equal suffrage
rally in Huntington Hail. DR.. Shaw said
that Catching Up with China should be
the slogan of American suffragists.
If we could be recognized, and men
would think Of us as human beings, not
as women who are merely related to
men," she continued, then they would
understand that privilege: opportunity
and responsibility should be shared equal
ly with u.s. She added:
"Of all the pathetic lessons which may
be drawn from the Titanic disaster, moth
ing fingers longer in the memory Of all
than the splendid humanity Of the men
who faced death to help the women and
children. Yet. I don't believe that there
should be different standards Of loyalty,
courage and devotion. While the men
acted from the Hottest motives and no
word Of praise is too great for their sac
rifice, woman does not want a standard
which sets her apart.
IF she can suffer and endure hardship
problems and follow a better mode Of liv-
ing for all human kind? That's all wom-
an suffrage means. Men know more about
some things than women and women
know more about some things than men,
but together they know all that is known
Of all things in the universe.
IF we could forget sex for one day we
would change the face of the world. We
are more than women and our service will
be greater In our human obligations"

OBJECTIONS ARE URGED
TO PATENT LAW CHANGES
House Committee Hears At
torneys Who Criticise the
Proposed Legislation.

Several Washington patent attorneys
who attended the hearing before the
House committee on patents this morn
ing were disappointed in not having the
opportunity to protest against the anti
advertising clause Of the new Oldfield
bill for the recodifying Of the United
States patent laws, but they had an ex-
cellent opportunity to hear how Thomas
A Edison has spent more money in law
suits to defend his patents than he has
ever received from those patents directly.
Frank Dyer of Orange, n. j., attorney
for one OF the concerns manufacturing
Edison products. made that statement be-
fore the committee. of which Representa-
tive Oldfeld is chairman.
Objections Noted.
The bill is a volume in itself, and
would upset one or two long-standing
practices. but the principle objection it
meets with in Washington is the portion
Of section 1 which creates board to
censor patent attorneys advertising.
The principal opponents Of the bill say
the board would not be restricted In its
power, and that il it should be composed
of men who do not think we'll of adver-
Using. then advertising patent attorneys
would ENTHUSIASTICALLY. Further hear
ings Will develop their arguments.
Relating to Price Contracts.
Mr.. Dyer told the committee that he
was most interested in the section of the
bill which seems to take away from in
ventors the right to make price con-
tracts and restrict retailers from selling
at price lower than that established by
the manufacturer.
1t was In this argument that he said
Mr.. Edison was on the wrong side Of
the ledger. Members of the committee
asked Mr.. Dyer what the consumer
would lose by having price mainte-
nance contracts made illegal: the re-
ply being that business generally would
suffer. F. b. Gibbs of Chicago spoke
along similar lines for the stationery
trade.
