KreisIer's Wonderful Tone :.
StirS Hearts of Hearers

From all accounts no violinist since
Sarasate was in his prime has pro-
duced from his instrument a tone of
such exquisite golden beauty as that
Of Fritz Kreisler, who is to give a
concert here under the auspices of
the Associated Retailers at the Audi
forum Monday evening, December 4.
1t may not have the grandiloquence
OF Ysaye or the excitement of Elman,
but it has a soft brilliancy all its own.
H. T. Parker, the distinguished critic
of the Boston Transcript, speaking of
Kreisler's tone last winter, has this to
say;
flneness and softness, meet for the velvety
texture of the music. 1t Is tone of most
snytS S ssy that bends to
gree Of ornament. 1t is a tone quick with
delicate light and shade. that makes its
song, It's figuration. Its arabesque bright,
play Of light and shadow in it is nearly end
less. 1t Is furthermore a tone that can
isolate itself like the fine and shimmering
thread against the background of the orches-
ira, or fuse itself with one another of the
instrumental voices It is tone that springs
to every elasticity of rhythm, that can spin
itself into the finest of transitions, gather
without break or jar light force of climax,
or leap up dominant out of orchestral
tumult Above all 1t is tone that CLOVIS
with the beauty Of the song that 1t sustains
and Yet In its own right is so full of sensuous
loneliness that II falls halo-like upon prosaic
figuration. Even In passages for purely
technical display 1t works its charm Of glow
ing and beautiful rhapsody. The ear, the
imagination, the whole listening being, re-
spond to such beauty Of sound weaving its
beautiful patterns upon the air.

~ ANXIETY-In few. months? Why, my
dear, you can make that head of hair of
yours a thing of marvellous beatty in less
time than that. / did it. Thousands
stop falling at once and begin to grow as
you never knew it to grow before, If you
will use literally my formula made by mix
ing one ounce OF beta-quinol in half pint
of water: and half pint of alcohol or one
pint OF bay rum instead of water and al
cohol. This gives you over a pint of this
wonderful hair grower-cheap at the price.
You can't beat it.
MISS TEE BEE-That happened to me
one day. The druggist didn't have the beta
auinol for making my hair formula. So
have my secretary keep stock on hand
to supply those that cannot get the ingre-
dents at the drug store. II doesn't often
happen. but when it does to you. send fifty
cents to Secretary to Valeska Suratt.

This is perfectly safe.
MISS G. T. B.-Yes, that face powder

my own face powder made specially. II is
absolutely free from chalkiness-and fnet

A Progressive Governor.

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 The inaugural message of Governor Samuel w. Mccall, of Massachusetts, presents to the consideration of the republican leaders of the nation possible candidate for presidential honors who measures up to the de- mands of the hour. His message to the general assembly of that state shows him to be an intelligent pro- sressiVe. He is neither radical nor reactionary. He has been a close ob- server of current history, and is not afraid to interpret it.
 Some of his recommendations are worth consideration outside of the state of Massachusetts. In recom- mending 8 constitutional convention, ne seeks to have written into the fun- damental law principles which human experience shows are for the best in tereSt of the state. Unlike the re- publican leaders of Connecticut, Gov ernor Mccall favors the merit system of appointment to Othce. Ills stand upon this subject is exactly that or MT Taft and exactly unlike that of the general assembly of the otherWlse good old state of Connecticut. lie favors a form of social insurance to protect the worker against sickness, unemployment and old age. He has apparently been unable to appreciate the Massachusetts policy Of batting the railroads, for he recommends legislation which shall be constructive, not destructive and confiscatory. He would have the administration of the prisons of the state based upon their CO Si a hOSDit1lS cIares that the state has too many laws on it's statute books and should l.r dertake a revision and recOdif1ca- ton of them. He emplores each senator and representative "to do everything for the comm onwealth and nothing for himself
 Of course, there are many other recommendations local in their char acter and application but the spirit of the message as a whole shows a lreadth of view and a catholicity which places him at once among the foremost of the republicans of the country. Incidentally, while we have no idea that the republican convention will come to New England for it's can- didate, Governor McCall's handling of important phases of government in his message has impaired the presidential boomlet of United States Senator Weeks, of that state. Mccall looms up the bigger man of the two.

DOGS DESERVING OF
 CROSS OF VALOR
Canines Urged by Belligcrents to Locate and Succor the Wounded
 Soldiers.
Correspondence of Asso. Press )

Correspondence of Asso. Press.)
 Amsterdam, Netherlands, Dec 3I- In mo mans land,'' the fire-sWept zone between the trenches one may occasionally find, among the mass of human and material debris, dead dogs which. in the opinion of many, are dc serving of the cross for Valor equally with their human friends. on beth sides, dogs have been largely en- ployed in locating and succoring the wounded, and many touching stories of canine devotion and sagacity are told and remembered with gratitude by those who must have miserlbly perished but for the trained Red Cross dog.
 Different countries have adopted different modes of training the ami mals. One was to teach a dog to lie down beside wounded man and bark until assistance came. Another, to train the dog to return half way to his master and attract attention by short bark, and yet another to teach the animal to pick up some ob- ject belonging to the soldier, carry it back to his master and guide the lat ter to the spot where the man lies awaiting help.
 The first method has been found to be the quickest in practice but at the same time the most dangerous, inas- much as the noise is apt to attra ct the notice of the enemy, and may even at times give him useful information. The second method was tangible evl- dence that he had really found a wounded man; but it had to be aban- doned because the animal, i'll his un- reasoning eargerness to procure the evidence, would sometimes badly maui a helpless man and often tear off a temporary bandage; thus cndangerins the life of the person whom the dog had set out to save.
 The silent method is the only one that has been found really sntisfac- tory, and this is now universally fol- lowed: although, on dark nights and when there is rough ground to be GOV cred, certain obvious drawbacks pre- sent themselves.

What a Competent Critic Says.
Bridgeport Standard.)


 Lieutenant Commander H. c. Won Steyer of the Holland navy, came over to this country to investigate the hy droplane industry. He knew that in the United States the aeroplane and it's inventors had originated and he eX pected to find here the latest develop. lDent in the mechanical achievement Of that business. He has discovered his mistake and says today:
 Here in Washington the first suc- cessful demonstration of the aero plane was made, yet today America is the last country in the world in the development of the aeroplane and hydropane for war purposes It is well enough, perhaps, to cry 'peace,' but there will not be universal peace for many years, if ever, and the only way to insure peace and a nations safety is to prepare for it. I should not say, perhaps, that the United States is the laughing stock of the world but certainly it's slOwness in preparation is beyond the comprehen- sion of European nations. The American navy is strong numerically. l have no knowledge of it's efficiency, but 1 observe that there are prac- tically no submarines and fewer aero planes"
 With a theOrist of absolutely no practical experience in such things at the head of affairs and appointing to offices of importance such examples Of lncompetency as Daniels of the navy, what is to be expected? Never theless it is well that we should know what up-to-date officials of other nations, less able and less exposed than we are, think of our living in a tools paradise of safety and taking no note of what is going on around us.
