Prof. UT stands high in musical cir
cles of the west as an~instructor and
vocalist, and his wife apparently is
no less we'll equipped for instrument
tai work. The program itself was of
the mixed order and therefore thor
oughly enjoyable. Mr.. UT ranged
from the haunting chant of "Herod-
1ade" and that delicate piece of senti-
ment from Wagner's "Tannhauser,"
The Evening star, to the more
sentimental ballades of America and
old England. His "Pilgrim's Song"
by Tschaikowsky bespoke the rumble
of the Russian revolution. This song
was taken literally from Count Toll
stoTs poem and set to music by the
great Slav artist.
Mrs. UT pleased delightfully."- on the
pipe organ with several numbers
more familiar to devotees of that
wonderful instrument All in all the
evening was musical treat to the
few who were present.

AUTO LICENSE TAGS NOW
WATCHED BY OFFICIALS

Motorists who are using star tags
may be liable to prosecution, accord
ing to a recentd ispatch from Madison
The star tags are issued to dealers
only and cost $40 for four sets. Some
folks, it is limited, have been taking
advantage of the cut rates. Others
borrow the dealers tag and fail to re-
turn it. The state law also prohibits
the transfer Of numbers, and the use
of number taken out by another
person means the possibility of pros
ecution. The safest way is to buy
regular honest to John" tag for five
bucks and be right with the state.
