BAR GERMAN MUSIC
Norway Public Protests Against Visit
of Berlin Orchestra.

Christiania, Norway, June 2-Sev-
eral recent happenings have served to
emphasize the -anti-German feeling
which manifests itself predominantly
these days in the press and in public
expression in Norway. One of these
was the widespread demand for the
cancellation of the engag cement of the
Berlin Philharm onic orchestra (under
Arthur Nikisch) to play here. Even
the newspaper Morkenbladet, which
hitherto had been friendly in its atti-
tude toward Germany protested in a
very satirical article again a German
institution like this intruding upon
Norwegian hospitality at a time when
Norwegian ships are being torpedoed
by the hundreds and Norwegian sailors
engaged in their countrys trade were
being killed by the Germans.
Other newspapers and public men
were even more caustic and energetic
in their demand for the cancellation
of opinion followed shortly the defeat
of a bill imposing a very strict cen
sorship upon the press with heavy
penalties of imprisonment and fine for
papers publishing anything likely to
disturb Norway's friendly relations
with another country The minister
of justice, M. Amberahamsen, had to
quit the cabinet on this defeat. A
general rumor that this bill had been
inspired from Germany drew forth II
Nickel Plant Burns.
Anti German feeling also caused an
outburst il the press against the Nor
wegian Nickel syndicate which from
a period dating before the war had
contracts with Germany for the ex-
port of refined nickel ore. This ex-
port has l,een greatly increased durini;
the war, being one of the few sources
from which Germany was able to get
nickel During the discussion in the
press part of the melting plant burn
ed down the other day and for want
Of special machinery it is said rebuild
ing will be impossible in the near fu-
ture. BY this accident the export OF
nickel may be stopped for a whilo
and the government relieved of the
necessity of passing upon the ques-
ton of prohibiting it, an affirmative
decision upon which is considered
would have been likely to lead to Ger
man measures of reprisal.
Know Shipping Schedules.
The spy question has been another
widely agitated in view of the mes
saees said to be reaching German
submarines giving information as to
the mover ents of Norwegian vessels
In one case the submarine officer
is quoted as having scored the Nor
wegian commander of being lover =
due" as he ought to have been in
the particular spot in question two
hours previously, the U-boat COM
mander informed him.

IHE BUSINESS FIELD.

Except for government requirements,
general business Is of lessened maGni-
| tude. and conservatism is a more con-
splcuous feature in many quarters. The
restricting influence OF the high and
steadily rising prices is clearly seen
in .hc growing tendency toward econo-
my and rctrenchment among custom
ers, and, as a reflection OF this, manu-
featuring activity is in some branches
subsiding.
Hesitancy in purchasing is more
sharply defined in the staple COM
modftlcs, including footwear and tex
tiles, and variable weather mas also
initiated against the best rests in re-
tail distribution. Yet some abatement
of demand is not surprising In view
OF the extreme costs and the limits to
which buying has already been car
ried, and transactions In the aggregate
surpass those Of any previous CORE
spending period. This is evidenced by
bank clearings and similar barometers.

Further noteworthy price advances
appear in dry goods, yet signs multiply
OF more conservative purchasing in
both retail and primary circles, and it
is evident that readjustment TO the
new war conditions is In progress. Fed
eral orders of magnitude have been
placed for various products and the
necessities OF the government are be-
ginning to disorganize the normal
course of manufacturing while the
prospect of deranged deliveries still oc-
sasions concern among distributing
interests. Footwear factories, except
those engaged on military contracts.

number of Lynn plants have suspended

THE GARAGE.

Ths garaRc is small sauatty spe-
cimen at G5tfic architecture which is
designed as the last resting place of
new automobile. II is generally built
ion such generous lines that 1t will
hold all OF the automobile except the
full floating rear axle and the one
man top. which makes II comparative
~ easy for Il man 10 fasten the doors

hands and knees,
There ara two kinds Of garages
stationary and portable. The station
-sry style Is preferred by people who
buy new car every fall and never
know whether the wheelbase will 1T.
Some OF these stationary garages are
highly ornate. being profusely decor
ated with defunct inner tubes. blown
out castings, garden hose and full
line Of repairs ranging from spark
plug to propeller shaft. AZ these
repairs usually At nothing but last
years model they are retained largely
for their sentimental value,
The portable garage was gotten up
for the benefit Of the uneasy house
holder who fits from place TO place
and puts the garage In the back seat.
Some Of these structures are more
portable than others. Many a new
driver has returned home at the eve
ming hour and aimed his radiator d.
rectly at the open doors OF portable
garage, only to have It step brtskly to
the right and shiver shimmering
fender with twenty -four coats OF paint
on It's bosom. On this account, many
architects are recommending the use
OF an army tent.
The word garage" Is French
noun which was imported here sew
eral years ago by some OF the -Four
Hundred, who heard It pronounced
abroad and used IT to confound the
common people. When correctly Civ
on, the larynx is depressed and the
broad "a" is sounded with a low.
