TO APPEAR IN THE
MUNICIPAL COURSE

Boise concert goers will have
an opportunity of renewing their ac-
quaintance with Theodore Spiering,
one Of the foremost violinists of the
day, who after an interval of 10 years
will come to the city on Feb. 8 as one
of the leading attractions Of the mu-
nicipal entertainment course.
On the occasion of his earlier visit.
Spiering was at the head of the we'll
known Chicago string quartet, which
bore the name OF its organizer, and
which was an important factor in
awakening an appreciation of cham
Der music throughout the entire west
and middle west.

classic and modern violin literature.
Mr.. Spierings western tour will in
clude, among other cities, Portland,
Helena and Billings, in all of which
cities, he will have the cooperation
OF Mrs. Burke.
During the Is years that have
elapsed since Spiering was heard in
Boise, he has .,layed a CONSPICUOUS
role in the musical life of both Amer
lea and Europe. Voluntarily relin-
gushing the enviable place he had
made for himself in the musical life
Of Chicago. Spiering went to Berlin
returning from his successes there to
become the concert master of the New
York Philharmonic society, at the time
that the organization began the most
notable period of its activity under
the late, distinguished Gustav Mailer.
It was by Mahler's personal request
that Spiering undertook the RESPONSE

was also Mahler's wish that his man.

Spiering took up his residence in Ber-

figure in the German musical world.
He appeared in the large cities as
concert violist and also conducted @

plant Life in Books.

We have all heard of the worms that
live in books and do so much damage,
but until recently OF was not known
that books also have plants which
thrive, inside their covers. AS French
scientist has discovered, most books
show traces of plant life on their
leaves and in some cases this life is
considerable enough to constitute a
verltabe miniature botanical garden.
The plant life in books shows itself in
the form of tiny yellowish, black or
reddish spots, which are SO often seen
on the pages of both new and old vol
umes. The plants are nothing more
or less than low form of mushrooms
which sometimes envelope themselves
with protestive covering and, when
mashed by pressure of the sides of the
books, secrete the colored liquid which
spreads through the page.

SNAKES ARE USEFUL

Reptiles are the greatest enemies
of rodents that destroy grain and car

Snakes are a valuable asset and
there should be a campaign against

goes on to show what the snake does
