FASCINATING MUSIC
ON COLUMBIA RECORDS.

Many music lovers regard DeKo-
vents Robin Hood" as the most fas-
cinating OF light operas. And not the
least attractive OF its songs is Brown
October Ale" recently recorded by
the Columbia Graphophone Company.
This delightful eulogy Of Little
John and the outlaws to "nut-brown
October ale" is sung by Graham Mari
and the Stellar Quartette with a roll
licking abandon well in keeping with
the outlaw" theme.
Il is doubtful if the clear bril-
lance and splendid strength Of Gra-
ham Marr baritone have ever been
more pleasingly apparent than in this
fine recording.
A most pleasing outlet for the dane
ing energy Of the Americans who
would be up and doing is the Harry
Won Tilzer Medley One-Step," just is
sued by Columbia.
IL is composed of melodious ex-
tracts from "One the South Sea Isle"
Honest Injun,' There's Someone
More Lonesome Than You" and
Through These Wonderful Glasses
of Mine"
And TO this generous measure is
added the brilliance OF Princes Band.

government money as advances to To- cal authorities and other agencies to nrovide houses for the working classes at reasonable rent. MT. Long, presl- dent of the Local Government Board, told a deputation that plans actually before the board represented put a small beginning. He added:
 Tt would be a black crime to let our soldiers come back from water logged and horrible trenches to some thing little better than pig-sty.' He had told a deputation representing
 the Housing and Town planning con- gress some time ago that the 20,O0,- 900 pounds asked for by them should rot represent even an index of what might be required. He emphasized that if the government came to the aid of the local authorities in the mat ter, it must be on liberal lines. He also said it was vital to the future ol the race that there should be pro- vision for as many as possible in those districts in order to keep tho land occupied.
 The move is one of many indicating that in the estimation of the govern ment, nothing is to be too good for those who helped in the war on their return It is hamburger of the social revolution that has been so frequent ly predicted and which affects all classes.

RUNAS1A,s QUEEN ENGLISH.
This Fact Alone Has Made War on
 Allies Popular.
lcorrespondence of the Asso. Press

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press).
 London, Oct 10.-One of the many reasons for rejoicing here at the entrance of Rumania into the war on the side of the Allies is the fact that the Rumanian queen is an Eng ishwoman of great popularity. Be- fore her marriage to the Hohenzollern prince who is now King Ferdinand, Queen Marie was the beautiful and popular daughter of the late King Edwards eldest brother, the late Duke of Edinburgh. She is still re- garded as beautiful, and indeed with her husband and two boys and four girls is frequently spoken of as con- stituting the best looking royal fam fly in EurOpe as we'll as the most photographed. $E.f@
 Queen Marie is beloved throughout her country for her generosity and constant efforts in behalf of the poor She is the leading spirit of the Society of Bookcases of Rumania, each god- dess acting as a fairy godmother to at least one poor child. The queen has an odd hobby in the collection of scent bottles of which she had more than 5000.
 When aboard her fathers flagship at Malta, Rumania's future queen be- came a great favorite with officers and sailors She had a great love of helping the ships cook with his du- ties. On one occasion she fried fifty eggs and slices of ham and had them distributed among the men as a token of good will.

&( Correspondence of the Asso. Press). Paris, Oct 8.--Citation of dogs in 8regimental orders Is now common at i the French front. Fox, of the Nine 3tecnth company of the Tenth regi- Zment, is one of these illustrious 8ruadrupeds. The afternoon war bull &Ietin of July 16 contained the follow lowing:
 "An enemy raid doirected against ] one of our small posts in the Pas Schendal region failed under our fire.' } It is learned from an official source 4that the failure was due to Fox, who was thus referred to in next days regim enta1 orders: Fox, Series F 4 ] No. 221, Kennel A., prevented a raid attempted on one of our first line trenches by the Germans.

The dog, Fox of the Nineteenth com ! nany, on sentry at the end of the trench, twice gave the alarm and thus allowed us to receive the enemy with grenade fire. The surprise attack failed.''

FOR DRYS IN NEBRASKA
(From a staff Correspondent }

LINCOLN, Jan. 2.-(Special.)- .)-Accord-
ing to w. T. Thompson, chairman Of
the executive committee of the dry cam
paign committee, there is a pretty good
chance that Nebraska may go dry IN
1916 However. Mr.. Thompson. like many
other campaign prophets, has an If"
which stands in the way to take the
JOY out of life for the dry advocates
and the state will surely go dry IF"
the dry people do not get over confident.
and think they have got things all COM
ing their way, and lose out thereby.
He charges that the wet element has
had control Of things for thirty years,
but a change has taken place in the
past two months, and business men and
others who have heretofore been favor
able TO wet conditions are now openly
for a change. He thinks that inasmuch
as all territory around Nebraska is now
dry. that people fear that unless Ne
braska goes likewise the state will be e
dumping ground for all that is undesir
able in connection with wet conditions.
