ed says The ST. Paul Pioneer Press

Miss Jones has appeared in lMaDkato
on several previous occasions. AMI Is
deservcdly popular with music low
ers. Contralto voices possess pc
culiar charm all their own, and the
singing of Miss Jones indicated the
dramatic feeling. and attention to
the finest ordinations of expression
which, are attributes of all true art
lists. Her voice OF meZZo contralto
range Is under wonderful control,
and Is rounded and replete with me-
lodicus tones. II would be difficult
TO say I'm which selection she appear
cd at her best last evening. but pre-
haps the old Welsh songs were the
favorites, especially "Mifanwy." by
Forster. She was, equally good in a
group of Cadman's selections. Vol
che sapete." by Mozart, and In char
acteristic songs, such as "Mammy's
Song" by Ware. The program was
long and varied and Miss Jones ap-
peared I'm four groups OF songs OF
from three to four selections each.
Mr.. Max Miranda appeared in four
groups OF pipe organ selections which
were well chosen and played with
nice attention to technic and ex-
preston. Perhaps the most pleasing
numbers were ''Evensong." by John
son, and the Mcdowell selections.
ITO a Wild Rose" and ITO a Water
Lily" The "Suithe Gothique" of
four movements, by Boellman. was
rendered with spirit and musical
feeling, and the program closed with
the inspiring strains Of the march
from Wagner's 'Tannhauser." Both
performers were greeted with ap-
plause at the close of each number,
and gave encore numbers at the close
Of each group.

Numerous complaints have been to
tomobile club" said John n. Hob
mann today. about the number OF
accidents that have happened on &C
count Of reckless driving and therefore
take It's means OF appealing espe-
cially to members OF the Mankato Au-
tOmobile club, and all other automo-
bile clubs. to aid the officers OF the
law by their own good example in
the strict observance of the laws
regulating or-propelled vehicles.
Especially with regard to running the
autos on the country roads have the
complaints been very numerous and
earnestly urge the members of our
club to show farmers all due courtesy
by giving them half the road in pass
ing on the proper side. going slowly
and by not having their cut outs open
while passing teams. Our club stands
for safe and sane regulation and for
observance of the law, and unless an
effort Is made by autoists I'm general
TO observe the law. VIC will have only
ourselves TO blame. IL the next ses-
sion OF the legislature passes laws
which will be more or less objec-
tiopablc TO all drivers of motor pro-
PEELED vehicles
Mr. Hohmann's remarks are very
timely. II would be n good idea for
those autoists and motor cyclists
who are careful to observe the law
would report those who are not, thus
assisting in bringing law -yiolators TO
justice.
A Jail sentence for violators of
the traffic laws would be nearer the
right kind of punishment than a
fine.

THE TERRIBLE JITNEY

Once there was mule-car,
And it ran upon track;
1t took folks where they'd like to 60,
And then it fotched 'em back.
But it couldn't go much fast
No faster'n a mule could trot-
And the old plug had to stop and cool
When ever he was hot.
And so somebody sot in,
And here's just what they done
They put old Lightnin' in the shalves,
And-golly she run!
And then that mule-car suffered,
The driver stormed and cussed,
And swore that blamed old trolley cal
Had treated him unjust.
But the trolley held it's own,
And then some more besides;
Till fust thing anybody knowed,
It cornered all the rides.
But now here comes the Jitney
And takes the trolley's nick,
Just like the trolley done the mule,
And watch that trolley kick!
When we can gouge another,
We don't want any fuss;
But-my!-the devil is to pay
When someone gouges us!
