No plans AVE yet been made for

1T is bad. 1t has no Silhouette"
SD Richard E. Brooks, zone of the
important things to be noted about
any statuary is its silhouette, by
which 1 mean Is contour, its outline.
For that Is the thing which impresses
the beholder first, and II this out
line Is not pleasing 1t will not attract
him to further study of the work.
The figure of Admiral Dupont
does not stand on iss feet, II has no
nervous quality, 1t is neither man
nor woman, 1t Is a manikin.
U. S. ]. Dunbar said:
The Dupont statue has not the
swing, the lines of character, that
appeal to me. For that reason I have
not studi d 1t. l cannot imagine that
anyone would wish to do so, unless
to find out how bad 1t is"

A Sure Way To
End DandruE

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that Is to dissolve II. them
you destroy 1t entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces of plain
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, APP
ply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
1t in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, II not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace OF II. no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging Of the scalp Will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky, and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Advt.

scores are most valuable, making II
important from the educational point
of view.
Has Rare Possessions.
In its autograph scores the Library
has rare possessions. With the love
of the true collector Mr.. Sonneck took
from lis shelf a small-sized manu-
script of Mozart, a recent purchase OF
the Library. 1t is a church aria ar
ranged for small orchestra, a compo'
sition of Mozart's youth. dated 11T2
The value of this manuscript has In
creased thirty times since the year
1870. The only piano piece written
by Paganini, the great violinist, Is
here, too. This is tiny autograph
page, dated 1884, of a chromatic scale
harmonized for piano. The history OF
these bits of paper has been carefully
traced to insure their authenticity.
The similarity of the score writing
of Wagner and Richard Straus has
often been commented upon. They are
both, in music and script, quite like
copper-plate engraving. Three lines
of wagner's manuscript are now In
cases in the reading room for the
blind, a line each, of excerpts oil
"Senta's Ballade" from 1.-The Flying
Dutchman," Pilgrims Song" from
'Tannhauser," and "The wedding
March" from 'Lohengrin."
In the upstairs cases a song by
Donizetti, with piano accompaniment
il of particular interest because OF the
erasures, the corrections made. here
also are writings of Chopin, Bee
~ pnGGini
others.
Placed On View In Spring.
An American exhibit of autograph
compositions is to be placed on view
in the spring. 1t will be the first
complete national exhibit, and VIII
give some surprising information con
corning our musical history. For IN
stance. there will be orchestral scores
of such bulk that they will scarcely
go into the cases, and that use a vast
orchestra. similar to that OF Richaro
Straus, by an American composer OF
yesterday, Anthony Philip Heinrich
whose music was ranked so high that
festivals of ii were given both IN
Europe and in America Alexander
Reinagle, a Scotchman of Austrian
descent, is another American COM
poser who will be represented. He
wrote here around 1900, and has de-
scendants in this city.
The Library's latest acquisition ls
the orchestral score of samson. q
tone-poem by Rubin Goldmark, dedi'
Gated to his uncle, Carl Goldmark.
Added to these are the reference IA
cilities that include a card index on
musical articles in magazines. Just
what this means to the music of ma
ton is incalculable now, the future
value will be vastly greater.

o. G. Sonneck Claims 1t Is
Third in Importance in
the World.
WAS ORGANIZED IN 1897
Has Made Astonishing Strides
and Collection Is Most Use
full in Nation.

The music division of the Library
of Congress of the United States has
been little heralded, yet its rank is
third in Importance in the world.
This statement was made and sub
stantiated by the chief of the music
bureau, o. G. Sonneck. Mr.. Son.
neck says that Berlin has the richest
collection, the others ranking among
the best, being the Paris Opera and
British Museum, and the Society of
Music Friends" in Vienna.
Our National Library OF Music at
Washington has made astonishing
strides since its organization in 1897.
1t is thermost useful music collection
of the nation. other music libraries,
such as those of New York and Bos-
ton, have been made up chiefly
through requests. The National Lii
brary has had the benefit of the
copyright law, which requires that all
American copyrighted material shall
be deposited here, and in this way
much of value is acquired National
support has supplied the balance,
making this collection a highly val
liable treasure-house for the student,
in its music and reference books; or
for the connoisseur collector who ap-
preciates the value of the rare auto
graph copies of music the library
now owns.
Three Main Sections.
There are three main sections in
the music division, consisting of:
], music; 2, literature on music,
and 3, works on musical instruction.
In 1914 the library contained 7o3,-
e55 volumes, pamphlets and pieces
obtained through copyright and pur-
chase. During the last twelve years
added by purchase.
To give some idea of what this
means one need but know that: The
collection of vocal scores of operas
exceeds 1000; the collection of or
chestral scores of operas is about
5000, being the most important one
in existence; the collection of libret-
tos, old and new, numbers 1900. 1t,
also, is the most important in exist
ence.
Has Made Speciality Of Music.
The Library of Congress has made
\ speciality of its music exhibitions.
The Shakespeare exhibit, now in its
last few weeks, has received extensive
comment in European journals, and
st is q sad commentary upon our es-
thetic interests to learn that the
American journals have entirely ig-
nored it, even through : the time of
the Shakespeare Ter-Centenary.
The extent and value of the Shake
speare exhibit can be judged by the
following partial list of scores now
in the cases. 1t is interesting, too,
in showing how often and by whom
Shakespearean themes were treated
musicalIy.
Among the scores shown are:
'Hamlet" overture for small orches-
ira by Tschaikowsky: Hamlet" SYM
phonic tone-poem, by Liszt; Hamlet"
overture by Joachim, for orchestra:
the opera Hamlet" by Ambrose
Thomas. There is Rubinstein over
ture to Anthony and Cleopatra" DR..
Arne's songs for the comedies "As
You Like 1t" and Twelfth Night"
Humperdinck's incidental music to
THE Merchant of Venice" king
Lear" a symphonic tone-poem, by
weingartner; also a king Lear"
overture by Berlioz, and a king
Lear" by Balakirew.

OVER One HUNDRED
BECOME CITIZENS
Fifty Four Alien Women Take
First Step Toward Casting
Ballot With Advent of
Woman Suffrage,

August was the busiest month at
naturalization desk in the court house
for more than a year. Figures COM
piled in the office of the clerk of the
district court show that 100 aliens ap-
piled for first citizenship papers,
twenty-seven citizens-to-be applied.
for second papers and III former sub
jects OF foreign countries became full
hedged citizens of the United States.
OF the l09 aliens applying for first
papers ffty-four were women, the
greatest number in any one month
in the history of Douglas county The
rush of women was attributed to the
campaign waged by a woman's organ
ization for members of their sex to
enroll as United States citizens and
get ready to cast their ballots.
Two women were admitted to citi-
zenship during the month. Most of
the men admitted were Austrians.
Many British subjects applied for
first papers.
No Germans will be admitted to
citizenship until the war is over.

I'VE are far from our regimental

Iowa Farmer Gets Cold =.
Cash for 400-Aere Farm

Seventy thousand dollars in cold
cash is what Daniel Schaaf of Sidney,
Ia, got for his 400-acre farm near
Sidney when he sold it last week.
Not papers not notes, but the real
stuff.
Mr.. Schaaf, who is 90 years old,
came to this country in 1865 with $3
left over from the money he bor-
rowed to pay his transportation. To-
day he Is the owner Of several Iowa
farms. & @ @
Last year he sold $4,000 worth of
farm products from the property he
has just sold. One of the conditions
stipulated in the sale was that the
farm should be rented to one of his
sons. Mr.. Schaaf, together with his
five sons, are doing their bit for the
nation in the form of 1000 acres
planted in corn and says the crop
will be record breaker.
E. c. Runyon, who negotiated the
sale, is one OF the men who signed
Mr.. Schaafs naturalization papers

Printers to Inform U. S.
Y Government About Coal

The Typographical union committee
appointed to look into the local coal
situation at its meeting Wednesday
received reports from subcommittee
that Indicated favorable sfeturns for
the consumer before many more
weeks.
Plans are in process of incubation
that the committee thinks will bring
the local situation to the attention of
the government authorities in such
a manner as to force the local coal
dealers to play fair with the consumer.
A member of the committee report
ed that he found one coal dealer who
was willing to deliver coal orders
now and make the price at whatever
it might be on November /. Others
reported that most coal dealers were
demanding the last winter prices, and
in some cases an added profit.
