WHY TOWN BAND IS
OFTEN A FAILURE
Conductor OF Tulsa Organization Re
cites some Pertinent
Facts.
CBy ]. F. PROTHERo).

a few years back the country was
overrIn with band leaders They
made business Of going from town
TO town and organizing bands for the
purpose Of giving public concerts OF
course II first became necessary to
obtain the money to carry out the
scheme. The next move was to get
the musicians to get together and de-
liver the concerts, and accept their
pay in promises. In other words they
would work the business men for all
they could in the way OF cash, play
few concerts and then go to the next
town looking for more suckers.
Not satisfied with buncoing the
business men they would also beat the
earned cash, and also allow them to
bear the burden Of the grating lead
er in the eyes of the public.
Business organizations all over the
country are wise to this old game and
nave been Instrumental in putting
stop to such practices. Musicians
unions over the country are also wise
and will no longer tolerate the graft
ing band leader.
Tulsa has had some experience
with the CRATER which naturally
makes it hard on an organization that
is trying 10 do the right thing
| have lived in Tulsa for the past
three years and having had about
twenty years experience with good
musical ORGANIZATIONS | wondered why
Tulsa was not supporting a good band
in the city parks. After a little in
uUiry / found that it was the same
Old story: the business men had been
buncoed by the CRATER.
There is not a band leader in Tulsa
at this time that is not perfectly re-
liable and it is my opinion that the
time is ripe for a reliable leader to
make good in the band business in
Tulsa

the city parks and have financed the
enterprise myself up To this time The
musicians have received their pay and
are satisfied. ] have vet to deliver II

IN THE EUROPEAN WAR
Important Part Played by Artificial
Waterways.

Tho historian will tell the next gem
Grafton about the enormous value OF
canals in this European war. over
exactly the caravan route Travelled py
the Crusaders eight hundred years ago
the Germans have "A canal from the
Rhine to the Danube. II is therefore
possible to send submarine from
cologne to the Black sea, with as
much freedom from hostile shot as
to navigate "A canoe on the Schuylkill
river.
The Black Forest canal is playing a
vital part in Germany swift mobil-
iZation Of war munitions. just as the
Kicl canal makes its fleet as safe

were in the great park at Berlin and
miles from navigable stream.
The Egyptians had canals before
the days of St Paul, but the lock
canal which made it possible to cross
mountains in boat came only few
wears before Columbus discovered
America
To be told that Raphael in his spare
moments. when not painting a Ra-
phacl was constructing n locomotive
would scarcely surprise you more than
to hc told that Leonardo dac Ninci was
a pioneer canal lock builder. But the
hands that put upon the walls of that
historic church in Milan The Last
supper" also designed the locks for
Milan's canal.
Americas first canal was dug at
South Hadlcy. Mass. when Washing
ton was president 1t was completed
12O years ago. That little waterway
gave DE witt Clinton his idea for the
canal across New York state - the
greatest single impetus ever contrib
uted to the upbuilding Of large city.

York the needed speed to pass Phila-
delphia as the metropolis of this con-
