a meeting of the Friday Bridge
Luncheon club Friday Of this week
There is seldom an occasion that
brings to our village group of cele-
brities, when Topeka cannot connect
up with the affair in some personal
way. 1t comes to light this morning
that one of the members OF the cele-
brated Minneapolis Symphony Orches-
ira, which is giving series of con-
certS in the auditorium, is son OF the
famous artist, Charles Grippe, whose
pictures were recently shown in an
exhibit held by the art department OF
the Topeka Federation He is also the
brother of a painter, who is Il personal
friend of a Topeka artist, Mrs. Robert
COppedge.
The man is the fair haired. blue
eyed, boying looking cellist of the or
chestra. The Grippe family has
rather a remarkable record of furnish
ing representatives in various careers
through the fine arts The elder
Grippe is an eminent landscape
painter; one son, Emil Grippe, is
painter also, who, though only eighteen
years of age, has taken numerous
prizes and won a good share of recog-
milton; another son, Karl. is a sculptor
of ability. He is world-renowned, and
has been engaged to furnish some of
the sculptored pieces for the exposi-
ton in California. Paul Grippe is the
'cellist; his mother was a singer, and
his young sister is preparing to be a
harpist.
The young musician this morning
plunged out of the swimming tank at
the Y NJ. c. A, hurriedly dressed and
came forth to answer questions asked
by a reporter person.
1.-The arts of painting and music"
he said, ARE more closely allied than
people think. They both concern
questions of proportion and harmony,
except that the painter has visual
models always before him, which
somewhat simplifies his art. 1 have
visited all the great art galleries and
have practically lived in studios and
artist colonies abroad, and 1 find that
the painter and the musician have
much in common"
Mr.. Grippe received his musical
education in Paris and Berlin. In
speaking of the musical atmosphere
so much talked of as existing in
Europe to much greater degrees
than in America, Mr.. Grippe said:
In America the people pay for their
music, and they are willing to pay a
good price for it. In Germany the
government supports the artists and
musical organizations. Wherefore, in
this country the orchestras and solo
lists are obliged to play well to get
their audiences, on which depends
their support. Moreover, they must
meet the people half way, and if they
audience to understand and care for,
for the sake of their musical merit,
they must also play some of the things

home is made the occasion of a meet

MESA NEWS NOTES
 EXPOSITION

An event of far reaching importance :o Mesa is the holding of a mid sum mer county exposition and of greater importance is tile holding of the event at this place. Mesa will have the op- pOrtunitv to secure the attraction at this place and all that remains IS for the Commercial club to accept the pro position and say the word. The plans are arranged and the grounds have been secured. Secretary Robertson yesterday placed the matter before J. J. Fraser whercupon the East Main street park better known as the Kim ball tract, the portion directly west of the I<imbalI house Was donated for the use of the holding the fair. The place will be attractiVelY decorated the shade is ample and furthermore it is close in and will be large enough to accommo- date q good many hundred people as well as provide ample room for an inn mense exhibit.
 A committee consisting Nof F. Aepli of Tempe, H. R. Spaulding of Phoenix ana J. A. Armstrong, Maricopa county farm advisor representing the Marico- pa Farmers Institute, an organization of farmers who are anxious to see the return of the old time county fair, called upon Secretary Robertson yes terday and announced that they were very anxious to see midsummer fair held at Mesa.
 The matter of county fair to be held in Mesa was first taken up by the Mesa Poultry and Pet Stock asso- citation and they have been tireless in their efforts to secure the event at this place.
 IL is assured by the members of the Commercial club who have been seen that the club will support the proposi- tion to man. The only thing remain ing IS the working out of details which Nill be somewhat complicated owing to the fact that it will be the first county fair held and further that even under ordinary circumsta tances there are many things to be looked after in the pre- paratiOn of exhibits and the securing same. However. there have been q great many who have volunteered their services and when the initiative is once started and the date definitely an noured which will be some time in July the work towards that end will be commenced.

POLICEMEN FOR TEMPE

The need Of the sO-caIled Wooden policemen at street intersections has become quite apparent of late with the ever increasing tide of auto travel, and it is quit probable that the matter will be presented to the council at an early session. Corners on the state highway which passes through Tempe on it's main business streets, are in numerous instances hidden from view until the turn is reached. making the present method of travel. using the right or left hand side of the road indefferently just a little dangerous at times Vari- Ous plans for the installation of the little stationary policeman in the mid dIe of the street have been suggested and it is altogether probable that some thing will materialize before long.
