HUMOR IN MUSIC

One often hears OF humor in music.
but to what extent does 1t actually
exist? Certainly, so far as instru-
mental music is concerned. humor Is
more often read into 1t by the listener
than inherent in the music itself.
Music may be gay, bright and vivac-
ious certainly. and induce a cores
pondinE state of feeling in Its hear
er: but this does not necessarily I'M
ply humor.
Let the music OF a Sullivan comic
opera be played to some one unac-
quainted with the words, and It's
humorous quality will go for little.
Music can no more convey joke than
II can tell a story without the ald OF

they long since became the creditors
of our enemies, whose bankruptcy
they saw approaching and desired to
avert as far as possible In connec-
ton with the participation in the war
OF the United States and their far

especially desirable to project the
question of the costs Of submarine

The answer is quite plain.
"Offsettirs the monstrous values

National Guard and the men who
registered on June 5, and are subject

The roots are ground to a fine, soft powder,
which in turn is incorporated with antiseptic
and cleansing materials.
When the teeth are brushed, especially with
stiff, new bristles, the tiny particles Of orris
are driven between the teeth, under the edges Of
