THE FIRST BANDMASTER.


David might well be called the firSe
bandmaster mentioned in history. for
he was the first orchestral organixef
OF whom we have any record. Hie
band mum bered two hundred four
score and eight. and he thus led the
first body OF players. He no doubt
possessed a knowledge of instruments
tation and the tone color effect for
he assigns his subjects to special In
strumentS.
The fourth psalm, Hear me when
I call. O God, OF my righteousness,
he directs to be played by his chief
harp and sackbut Psalm fifth. Give
ear To my words. . Lord, he assigns
to the chief musician, who was the
solo fiutist of his band. Psalm sixth,
20 Lord. rebuke me not in thine An-s
ger, the chief musician or soloist on
the string instrument. who had yir-
tuoso's regard for expression, is called
upon to perform and SO on through
the psalms.
David without question had in his
band all of the component parts Of
the modern rchestra--strings, woods
winds, brass and percussion. At tina
dedication OF Solomons temple David
and all the house OF Israel played
before the Lord with all manner OF
instruments made Of fir wood, and
with harps ana with psaiteries with
timbrels. castanets, comets and GYM
balls, ard the sound of the trumpet
was heard in the land even Ms Fl was
today.

lar as n conductor. David was rfr-

SCHOOL TO
BE LIMITED

B. +. Jacobs, instructor of the
Washington free navigation
school in the federal building, has
received notice from Boston,
Mass, that no more high school
and college graduates will be re-
ceived in the school at present.
1t is not known whether the Or
der will be permanent.
Jacobs now has all the high
school graduates he can train and
says they will make excellent
petty officers. He can now ac-
cept as students only those men
who have had experience before
the mast.
The resignation of Jacobs will
take effect Saturday, and Prof
Shane, former instructor in the
University of California, will
come from the Bellingham free
navigation school, which has
been discontinued, to take his
place.

Tacoma folks, meet Mrs. Thorn
as Carstens, If you do not already
know her.
She is a woman who has much
to say about spending the money
Tacoma contributed in the Red
Cross campaign, just passed, and
who knows how to stretch it out
to the farthest possible limit.
Mrs. Carstens is the buyer for
the Tacoma Red Cros chapter.
And there are few buyers among
the men folks Of Tacoma's big
industrial concerns who can beat
her at the game.
Altho Mrs. Carstens has not
had any extensive business expe-
rience, she seems to have been
born with a hrewd business head
on her shoulders, and it has taken

bond of sympathy between the
two nations.
French officers, bearing EN-.
blems fashioned of artificial
flowers, and therefore more en-
during than the customary dec
orations in American cemeteries,
promptly visit the grave of every
American soldier. :
American soldiers, too, have
formed the habit of visiting the
resting places of their comrades,
In their spare time planting vio-
let's and forget-me-nots on the
graves.
Markers on Crosses.
The American cemeteries are
located in peaceful valleys or on
hillsides overlooking vineyards
and farms. Row upon row of lit
tie wooden crosses. each two feet
high, mark the mounds.
A square metal marker in
scribed with the name Of the unit
and the date of death of the SOL
der is on each cross. Just above
is tackled the Identification disc
of platinum, the size of a 50-cent
piece, cut from the cord around
the dead soldiers neck. Mex
from all over the United States
lie here side by side.
French and American soldiers
constantly march past and the
airplanes Of the allies soar over
head. After the war there is no
doubt that these cemeteries will
become. the Mecca for hundreds
of American tourists.

PARIS, May 29.-MemOr.
ial day has become more
than an American national
holiday.
This year, for the first
time in history, it is to be
observed by the French peO-
pie, i'm honor Of the Ameri-
cans who have fallen in bat
tie or died on French soil.
Preparations for joint OBJ
servance of the day have been
made by the French and Ameri-
can military authorities.
1t Is the first Memorial day
when American troops have been
under arms in Europe, and the
first time American soldiers
have been buried on European
soil.
The ceremonies will include
decoration of the graves of Per-
shing's boys, but they will not
differ to any great extent from
similar services which have been
performed by the French ever
since the first Yankee was buried
in France.
Keep Graves Green.
For the French have kept the
graves green In the little GENE
teries back of the lines, most OF
them within sound of the cannon,
They have shown even more re-
spect for the American dead
than for their own. Their rever-
ence has helped to strengthen the

Calls On Tacoma
to Make em0riaI
Parade Big Event

An appeal to all Red Cross
workers of Tacoma and Pierre
county to take part in the Of
servance of Memorial day in the
same spirit which carried the Rel
Cross campaign to a success, WAS
issued Wednesday by Mrs. Anna
NJ. Weyerhaeuser, chairman oi
the Tacoma Red Cross chapter.
THE recent success OF the war
fund drive has shown by the loyal
response from all the members OF
the Tacoma department, whic /
maens all the Red Cross membe 8

have been the contribution OF dol
lars for financial aid in further
ing the progress OF the war, Mys.

to call out her unusual ability.
She is close, clever buyer.
She knows the market, and
watches it closely. 1t was thru
her foresight that the Tacoma
Red Cross has had plenty Of
gauze to be torn into hospital
supplies for the soldiers, while
Seattle, Portland and many
smaller auxiliaries have had to
close from two to four weeks on
account of lack of supplies.
Mrs. Carstens has purchased
wool-the most important Of all
Red Cross materials-at excep-
tionally low rates, saving hun
dreds of dollars for the Tacoma
chapter.
She it is who will use the
money you have given for the
work of mercy where it will count
the most.
