Dolejsi quoted, "and n violinist can not afford to let anything come in the way of his own work fin the matter of technique"
 What do you consider the proper amount of time each day for the student to devote to practlce?" I asked. Someone asked Sevcik that once" said , MT.

An Interesting Talk With Mr. Robert D the Young Bohemian Vonst

years ago. Some of Cyril Scott's things are very beautiful Speaking of the mod ernists l was present In Vienna when Schonberg directed his tremendous ora torie. 'Gurre-lieder.' There was an or chestra of 200, and chorus of 800. The oritiques say Schonberg Is exotio--a 'Futurst,' 'Cubist.' or what over they call them in the art world--he is to music. He's been called crazy and wild and cratic, but to my mind he Is a true Wagnerian disciple as Max Reger l. to Bach, so Schonberg is to Wagner. He Is very original and less musieianly when 1t comes to appearance than nearly any one I've ever seen. He looks more like a banker or a financier, his bald-heaS q being quite out of keeping with the pro- verbal long hair of the artist. He is quite dignified and elegant in his man ner, I must confess to very strong liking for the modern composers. and I rlay them with equally as much pleasure as Bach and Beethoven and the other classiolsts."

Again Birmingham Is fortunate in draw ing from the musical world an artist of splendid qualifications and undoubted tall ent for her very own.
 This time 1t is MT. Robert Dolejsi. the famous Bohemian violinist who comes to reside here, as director of the violin de- partment of "The Southern School of Musical A$t." thus adding another name to the "a,.ist faculty of this young but promising institution.
 People who follow in the worn paths of tradition are always a bit shocked when big minded men of enterprise enter their field and do things in big way. and the idea of bringing a real violin virtuoso here, an artist who has made his marx concertizing throughout the old country and beginning a tour here which would have brought him fame and fortune, has never even remotely been tucked away in the fartherest corner of the heads of even the most hopeful In Birmingham's musi- cal circles-but this is exactly what has been done by those who have secured MT Dolejsi as teacher and artist-and who will hereafter register from Dirming- ham"

What a Zeppelin Is Like

Few military instruments in the wal
 have come in for so much discussion as
 the Zeppelin airships, yet few people
 really know just what these formda ble
 machines are like, says Tit-Bits In ap-
 pearance the Zeppelin resembles a long
 narrow pencil with IS sides, its exact
 measurements being 400 feet long and 50
 feet in diameter. If a Zeppelin was placed
 vertically next to St. Paul's cathedral 1t
 would prove to be over 100 feet taller
 than this historic building. The body of
 a Zeppelin is constructed of aluminium, and is so built on the girder principle that despite its extreme lightness it can withstand immense strain. Over this frame specially prepared rubberized silk is stretched.
 The interior of the Zeppelin envelope is not filled entirely with gas, as is the case with the balloon. It is divided up into 16 compartments, each of which. con tains its portion of hydrogen gas. These "balloonets," as they are termed, look like 16 sacks lined up inside the sausage shaped parent" balloon envelope By means of this constructional system, the Zeppelin cannot be sunk unless half of it's
 'balloonets' are robbed of their gas Also these sections prevent the body of the airship being forced out of shane. through the wind resistance set up when
 the machine is forcing it's way through the air at 50 miles an hour.
 There are two cars to the Zeppelin placed close under the main body, and each has a petrol driven engine, driving propellers mounted on the sides of the
 main envelope. Engines developing 800 horse power are reQdired to force these
 machines through the air when loaded with crew of 25 men and some five tons
 of explosives and other equipment. A Zeppelin is a costly production, and f40.000 is required to build such @ mili- tary weapon and equip 1t for destructive purposes. The expense connected with these airships does not end here. Great sheds must be erected, and gas producing plants laid down, so that the Zeppelin may have it's daily feed of hydrogen. The speed of this type of airship does not exceed 50 miles an hour, but an ordinary head wind can tremendously reduce the rate of travel of the machine As for its climbing powers, the Zeppelin, unless its captain adopts the desperate expedient of throwing overheard all his armament at once, seldom reaches a greater altitude than 10000 feet and then its upward prog ress Is slow. An aeroplane can climb 1000 feet in two minutes. and reach an alti- tude of 1900 feet, hence it can quickly rise above Zeppelin for bomb throwing

a violinist of such expectional ability and talent as Birmingham has in MT. Dolejsl
 have had the pleasure of hearing him play and can truthfully say that never have I been more charmed, or more en- tertained or more thoroughly impressed with any young artist than this mere boy-who handles the violin with all the grace of an Albert Spalding or perhaps should say a Outrage, although I've not heard the latter. but tho Spanish tenn perament he possesses seems more nearly akin to the Bohemian than any other I can think of.
 Virtuosity on the greatest and most delicate of all instruments-the violin is an intimate art and I always like to be in close touch with the personality of the artist, and this was my good for tune when heard MT. Dolejsi a few days ago with only a small audience just bakers dozen," who love music and appreciate its beauty
 Quite unknown to the little company, except by reputation, this young Bo- hemian boy-he's little more than that stranger in a strange land-conquered AhCA ciS by lie ldblC Ol HIS DOW. The greatest charm of MT. Dolejsis playing is t.e beauty of the tone which he draws ftom the strings. It has ex- quisite color, feeling and warmth-just suggestion of Francis Macmillan, whom consider one of the most pleasing ol violinists.
 In technical accomplishment all great ViOliOiatS a a al hut is always a marked difference in their tonal quality, and that of MT. Dolejsi is peculiarly lovely.
 It lacks the sternness of the Kubelilx tone the melancholy that Fritz Kreisler makes the quivering strings yield, but 1t has a wondrous sweetness all its own, which goes straight to the heart and ap- peals strongly to the emotions.
 One of the little audience said after Major Sonata:
 T don't believe the angels themselves could play more beautifully"
 At the same time, with all the purity and tenderness of tone he possesses, MT. Dolejsi is a master of the difficult tech nique of the violin.
 He has all the tricks that. go with virtuosity and they are many.
 His "Pizzicatti" are amazingly facile and his "Staccati" astonshingly dex- trous, but after all it is the matter Of pure tone that counts and in this re- spect MT. Dolejsi is delightful.
 Mir Dolejsi is a very young man barely 22 years of age-but he has n mind and an intellect worthy of a man of twice his years and dignity and boise that is quite attractive in one so youthful

LIFE IN FRANCHISES

British Officer Tells of Ex- periences With Germans

London, December Be- Special. "A British officer tells how he was kept for several hours prisoner in his own trench by German Maxium in the following letter home:
 We, are now in the midst of winter with the most horrible weather you can imagine; it is showing hard, and the roads and paths are knee deep in mud and water. A few nights ago, in taking up a position. we had to wade along a Toad (Which was marked in the map as a river.

FIREMAN Is
VICTIM OF
ACCIDENT

]. F. Guthridge. Rock Island fireman,
is in the Chickasha hospital recovering
from severe bruises which he suffer
ed yesterday evening when he was
knocked from the Mangum passenger
train near verden by the fall Of an ice
cooler from the rear Of the tender
According to his best recollection
of the accident he had stepped to the
side OF the runway between tender
and engine to get breath of fresh air
after having fired the engine. The
water cooler jostling from its location
on the tender fell. STRUCK him on the
head and knocked him headlong from
the engine. Engineer Mann did not
notice that he was running without
fireman until within mile or two from
Chickasha, but knew that Guthridge
was in his place at Verden.
Arrived at Chickasha, Mann spread
the news and a switch engine with
caboose was sent back to look for the
fireman. They found him about two
miles this side of verden. Ice water
from the cooler had soaked his cloth
ing, which condition, aided by the de-
cidedly cold wind, had chilled Guth-
ridge almost beyond endurance. He
had regained consciousness partially
when the relief crew picked him up.
An examination in the hospital show
ed that he had suffered no broken
bones, but that he was decidedly
bruised and jammed up. He complain
ed of his back this morning, but other
wise his condition was improving. He
will probably be removed today to his
home at 1923 South Eighteenth.
