MANY WOMEN STUDY VIOLIN
German Writer Discusses the ouaIIfi.
cations for the Profession and
Tolls Its Drawbacks.

The Increase in late years In the
number OF women studying the violin
ID commented on by a German writer.
twenty years ago, he says, parents
hesitated before allowing their daugh-
ters to learn the violin, whereas at the
present time the woman violinist is
frequently met with.
Discussing the qualifications neces.
sary, he says that the woman student
OF the violin must have a first rate
ear and In the next place must be
physically strong. The great draw
back to the profession, he thinks, is
the comparatively poor prospect It
offers IL one leaves out OF question the
so-called "women's bands" which are
to be met with all over the continent
In cafes and places of doubtful repu.
tation. At present no place ia given
TO women violinists In regular or.
chestras, though there have been some
eminently successful ensembles and a
number Of concert players have done
we'll professionally.
On the whole the German writer
does not advise the violin as a prof1s.
sion for women, though he admits the
time is coming when the career ia
likely to be much more attractive.

THE TRUST MAGNATE's DREAM

A financier Who had, spent the
evening at his club debating the
sacredress of property and the
ethical utility of big business.
went home and dreamed. He had
been convicted under the criminal
clause of the Sherman Antitrust
Act, and had gone to Jail. The
disgrace bored him almost to
death. He was allowed consider
able freedom about the Jail and
as many others in the same plight
as himself, but he forbore to- ask
them what they were in for.
At length he became more
hardened to his condition and
spoke one day to a man in middle
life whose face was oddly familiar.
1t turned out that they had known
each other in Wall Street. where
the man Of middle life, who was of
the lumber trust, had tried to bor-
row money from the high financier,
who was relieved by the others
misery and they began to GU
around talking to the other
inmates.
One had been in the wire pool
and belonged to the Presbyterian
church; apother had been in the
beef trust. though he had founded
asylums; another had given
heavily to various CT arities. but
had been caught in the tobacco
trust; another in the oil trust,
and, having all got acquainted,
they felt much less disgraced in
each others comp any.
But who is the man that sits
by the wall and has the weight of
the universe upon his mind?"
asked the high financieT. "Oh,
that man." said the beef trust
criminal, glancing around. "He
was the publisher of an uplift-
magazine and was convicted in the
celebrated conspiracy to conrol
the prices of periodicals. He is
very unsociable" Suddenly came
new criminal, who was very
sociable and made up to all the
others. 81 represent the labor
trust" he said. 'Then." said
the financier, lit appears that we
are all here. Let US reorganize. -

gether very interesting program

What are the five greatest
achievements of 1911"
While there is lack of general
agreement. of course, the con-
census of opinion marks out for
distinction the following:
THE movement for a free
government in China.
2-The curbing of the House of
Lords in Great Britain.
3-The arbitration treaties.
4-The advance in aviation.
5-The successful use of vaccina
tive methods to prevent typhoid
fever.
Many other achievements are
mentioned. President TAFT, for
example. and several others
regard the supreme court decision
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases as one of the years best
gifts.

remedy, the growth of Democracy
in America, progress on the Pana-
ma canal. the establishment of
postal savings banks. and the con-
duct and outcome of the Nc
Namara trial are also chosen by
several as world achievements, of
1911.
Which suggests the other side
of the picture. j. Bernard
Walker, editor of the Scientific
American. speaks Of 1911 az "our
barren year, "a very mediocre
year.
Yves Guyot, economist and ex-
minister Of finance in France,
says 81 cannot see five great
achievements whereof humanity
may be proud during 1911; "of
artistic achievements / see none at

Ernst Haeckel, the great Ger
man scientist says: IL much

POUR question, but the truth is
that / know of no great human

portance that can be credited to
the year 1911"
Paul Ehrlicb, discoverer of
"606' says: 81 do not think the
year 1911 produced FIVE great
human achievements"
And Carman Sylvia, queen of
Roumania, closes with this mourn
full verdict: 1.-THE achievements of

there has been no abatement in the

LITTLE "ROUCHS7UFF" FOR
THE POLICE THIS week

= Not a prisoner spent last night in
THE Grand Forks city Jail.
This is an unusual record for fair
week and speaks we'll for the work Of
Chief Lowe and his men in the city
and at the fair grounds.
A number of suspicious looking
characters were picked up by the po-
lice Of East Grand Forks yesterday
and with the prisoners already in Jail
there 1t was found necessary to re-
o part of the prison population
over to the city bastile on this side
Of the river this morning and eight
prisoners were brought over here and
locked up.
Chief Lowe says that he and his
men have had little trouble on the
fair grounds or in town this week
and that few arrests have been made.
The chief thinks this is remarkable
when there were SO many strangers
in the city.
AS soon as the police have spied a
suspicious looking character they
have taken him into custody or or
dered him out of town. They have
had no dips" to contend with and the
big crowds that have attended the
fair each day nave been unusually or
derby. the officers aver.
