new RECORDSFOR
TALKING MACHINE

Louis Graveure, acknowledged by
critics as the greatest baritone sensa-
ton of 1916, and who has delighted
music lovers by his artistic renditions
of difficult operate arias and simple
old English ballads. has made a Co.
lumbia recording of purely Ameri-
can lullaby-"Kentuck Babe.'' So
deep is the great Belgian singers APP
probation of the sentiment Of the
lullaby that he has conveyed most
enhancing vision of Southern
nanny grooming her little pickan-
inny to sleep before the cracking
wood fire. Those who have enjoyed
the experience of hearing thrilling
sweet, mellow negro voice grooming a
hushabye song will recognize Mr..
Graveure's recording of Kentucky
Babe as triumph of vocal mimicry.
The charm of the singers voice is
heightened by a novel rocking under
tone in the orchestral accompaniment.
There was no object so near to the
heart of the great Russian composer
Tschaikowsky as the woes of his coun-
try. So burdened with lamentations
has been his music th-t he has been
called the Jeremiah of Music" And
like Jeremiah of the Bible, whose soul
was embittered by the dark days of
the Babylonian captivity, his lamenta-
tons are the very essence Of sombre
poetic beauty. But his "Marche
S1aye," recently recorded for Column
bia by Princes Orchestra, has no ele-
ment of the spiritual in it. Rather
is it a conflict of human passions. A
woodwind and muffled drum intro
duction tells of smouldering resent
ment which is famed into a brilliant
flame of melody. When the elements
Of warfare have spent themselves, the
motif Of victory is sounded by tritlm-
plant tronlbones. And the victory
is crowned by an orchestral chorus Of
Russia's majestic. national hymn. In
this supeAb epic of a nations revolt,
Tschaikowsky has told a soul-stirring
story of a\peace that was won through
strife.

THE NEW SCHOOL DAY AS
ANNOUNCED BY SUPT. KAYE.

Beginning with the opening OF
school in September, the school day
will begin at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing and continue until $40 in the
afternoon, with an hour and ten min
utes at noon for lunch. This plan
will be operative in all grades. The
plan is being tried in number OF
places, the aim being to compass
within the day not only the hearing
of recitation, but preparation for
them as we'll. The following consid-
erations have led to the decision for
adoption of the plan here.
/. Much of the time given to prepar
alton of lessons outside of school is
wasted. Students, especially younger
ones, do not know how to study. The
result is that they become discour-
aged and form the habit of going to
classes unprepared. This is especially
true in the high school where students
are introduced to new subjects. No
more striking proof of this is needed
than the amazing number of failures
among first year students. Accord
ing to the proposed plan, students
will make their preparation in school,
much, perhaps most of it, under the
guidance of teachers who will be at
hand to give the necessary help when
difficulties arise.
2. The school is a social institution
in the best sense. It's atmosphere is
more wholesome for school work be-
cause of the special facilities for
carrying on this work not found
otherwise.
81, There is frequent complaint
that students are sent home with so
much school work that they have no
time for a share in the simple tasks
and duties Of the home, in short, that
! home life is interfered with. There
! is no small measure of justice in
such complaints and it is hoped. that
the reconstructed school day Will
minimize this situation.
A. 1t is frequently charged that
not only is the work of the school
unrelated to life, but that in its
methods and procedure the school
fails to prepare for life. 1t is pointed
out, for example, that while outside
the school, employment is never fol
less than eight hours a day, the
school by its shorter day proclaim'
either that those in school are &
privileged class or that the work is
so exhausting that shorter day is
necessary. Teachers will not admit
that either case is true. 1t is HOPED
that longer school day, because
there will be time to accomplish worl

BIG FACTOR IN
KEEPING PHILLIES IN VAN.

Bill Killefer's wonderful ball play
ing is mighty gratifying to his Paw
Paw friends. He is not only playing
a star game behind the bat, but is
hitting them to all corners of the field.
His official batting average last SUM-
day was 319, and there were but
seven players in the National League
with higher average. Following
is what the Free Press had to say of
Bill last Sunday
One strong reason for the success
of the Phils this season has been the
electrifying catching of Bill Killefer.
When Killefer hurt his arm on Labor
day, of 1915, he was out for the rest
of the year.
1t is betraying no secret to say that
he hasn't fully recovered from the in
jury last season. He caught good
ball, but had some bad days, and sell
dom could not launch the irresistible
throws that were formerly so easy for
him to do.
Bill was watched with much con-
Germ on the training trip this year
Once the season opened, he went in
and began catching like machine.
His throwing all season has been moth
ing short of remarkable. There is the
old speed and zip to his pegs. They
get off quickly and shoot with blind
ing speed to the baseman.
Not once this season has the Phils
been embarrassed by any base running
enterprises of the opposition, but or
numerous occasions, Bill has rescued
the team from peril by a mighty
throw.
There is nobody in Killefer's class
in the National League. His catch
ing is an epic. He can throw, hi
and handle throws at the plate like {
master. On fouls he never misses {
| chance.
Jimmy Archer was regarded as ;
great catcher in his prime and so wa
John King, but neither was the catch
ing machine that Killefer is today
With the best catcher in the circui
to handle the deliveries of five pitch
ing monarchs, the Phils are NOR
powerful in the points than any o
their rivals.

GERMANY WILL GET WHEAT CROP
 FROM RUMANIA

Zurich, Aug. 3.-The Vienna Neue Freie Presse. in estimating the worlds harvest for the year, says that Ruma- mia, after supplying the needs of her home population and of the Austrian and German armies, will be able to send 100000 carloads of cereals to Germany and Austria Hungary.
 The newspaper admits that grain in Germany and Austria Hungary has suffered from the heat and drought, but considers that the harvest will be an average one except as to barley, the crop of which will be poor.
 Taking the harvest as a whole the Neue Freie Presse declares the sup ply of bread, flour and potatoes for the fourth year of the war is assured, although hard times will be experi- enced until the new flour is put on the market.
