Musical art is in the highest degree cultural, and the oftener one hears master works performed the readier and keener the appreciation.
 While America, comparatively a young nation, has not yet given to the world a great quantity of music in the larger form, it is advancing steadily in that direction and will in time rank with the most musical coun- tries of Europe. It has already won distinct reputation for the excellence of it's concert orchestras. There are fully six symphonic organizations Tn the United States that are unsur- passed by any of the famous orches- tras of foreign capitals.
 Within the past twelve or fifteen years American audiences have had the opportunity of hearing the Dres- lden orchestra, the Leipsic orchestra and the foremost orchestra of London, but it was noteworthy fact that while they were well received they were not quite up to the standard of our best organizations. It is different with the Paris Conservatory orchestra, now in the United States, and which will appear in Birmingham next Thursday. Musicians and concert goers in general are unstinted in their praise of it. Not only does it come fully up to expectations, but in sorority and tone color it has proved revelation. And added to the thrill Hound in the virility of Andre Mes sager's conducting is stirring patri- otic message. Coming as it does with the greeting of the French republic to the American people the inspira- ton is irresistible. It is safe to say that no visiting body has ever made so many friends as the orchestra from the Conservatory of Paris.

Progress of War
 Savings Campaign

ID EPORTS from various states in HA dicate good progress in the nationwide War Savings Stamp cam paign Alabama, in spite of many distractions, is making fine show ing.
 Sales of Stamps proceed steadily. In the month of October sales in Ala bama through the Birmingham post office alone, as the distributing agent of the state, totaled $1,162, ,000.
 As the end of the year approaches it is expected that the campaign will receive a new impetus. Of the states in the Sixth federal reserve bank dis trict Alabama stands out prominently. It is far ahead of Georgia and in achievement its record surpasses that of all it's neighbors.
 Let the good work continue. No matter if the war is soon to come to a close, every dollar raised by the War Savings drive will be needed to finance after -the-war rehabilitation.

Musgrove Tells Joke on Himself

L. B. Musgrove, chairman of the Ma tional Anti-saloon league ratification committee, enjoys good joke, even when it is on himself He told this one while here last week:
 "Judge Charlie Ferguson is quiet but has lot of dry humor. The other day came into little group at the South ern club when Charlie said:
 'Breck, I never fully realized how smart you are until I saw you had landed this job of chairman of the prohibition ratification committee. It means that all your work has to be done in wet terri tory. There is nothing for you to do in such dry states as Alabama or Georgia. You have fixed it so your job will last seven years and already have begun to talk of world prohibition. By taking in the whole world you will have enough wet territory to work in for the balance of your hfe"'

This Weeks Great
 Patriotic Drive

TTHE united war work campaign,
 ll which begins tomorrow, will doubtless result in another over-the- top achievement. The object of the canvass appeals to all humane and patriotic people. Those of moderate means, as we'll as the rich, are ex- pected to give something. Let the con- tributions be as generous as possible.
 Our soldiers will be in Europe year or more longer, and the money asked for now is to be used for the moral and physical welfare of the boys lover there;" also a goodly portion for the boys in camps in the United States.
 Something like quarter of bil- lion is needed for the united fund. That does not sound large when the cause is considered.
 It goes without saying that Bir- mingham's drive will be intensive and whole-hearted. Every dollar con tributed will be contributed with af- lection, for no one can fail to appre- ciste what our boys have done for us.

Lawrence Schunck, Celina, Ohio:
Dear Mr.. Schunck-I am taking the
pleasure OF writing to you, as you asked
me to do. am sitting in my tent to-
night, having just come back from mess.
certainly like It here fine, and surely
had an interesting trip. lett Colum
bus Monday, the 18th, and arrived at
camp here Thursday, the goth. And,
my, but found 1t hot, yet it is cool in
the evening. | can sit in my camp and
look into Mexico, and see mountains in
almost any direction we may look.
l will try to tell you little OF my trip
out here. We had little time in Kan
sas City to view the place. Crossing the
Mississippi River was pretty sight.
When we came to the Rocky Mountains
and when we were crossing them / GER
tainly saw the sights of my life. They
surely are high and rocky, and believe
l would like to live among them, for the
people look so healthy. Then we cross
ed the vast, grassy plains and saw thou
sands of cattle grazing. We finally came
to Elpaso, Texas, and had a short time
to view that city. 1t is certainly an old
an odd city, Mexicans being plentiful.
do not think an American from Ohio
would like to live among hem very
long We also passed through Colum-
bus, New Mexico, where Villa made that
memorable raid you remember about
know. If he were to try it now he would
certainly be surprised.
Mr. Schunck, | want to thank you
from the bottom of my heart, for have
fOund the army inst as Won told me il
was and am really satisfied. When my
time comes to go over to Europe will
be ready to go at the first call. Well, it
is getting late, so must close now.
Very sincerely yours,
