Joseph Breil Finds
That Art Is Long
(Continued from Tenth Page.D

New York with his manuscript and few
hopes,
By this time he was enough subdued by
failures not to think of the Metropolitan
Opera Company as possible producer.
But one good friend looked over the music
and gave him letter to Mr.. Gatti-Ca-
sazza. He called and left his opera with
him and got no news until last summer,
when after two readings it was accepted.
Presently Mr.. Breil went to the piano
and played some parts of his work with
the shynesS and affeetatiOn man has
when for the first time he lets some
stranger see Just how well ne was able to
work out his dream.
He said again that he had learned that
writing and talking were two entirely
different things; that now he Is swarmlng
with ideas for new music; also that he
hoped more artists could have something
accepted, as it would stimulate them to
greater effort.
Ia the streets outside people hurried
home in the dusky twilight and the ele-
waited trains sang as they went By like Il
passage for bassoS in Gluck opera. Brell
still sat. crumpled up in the low rocking
chair, hands cIasping one knee. He was
apparently looking away at Sixth ave
nue.. where the fruit stands were brill
liant, ike a garden Of autumn phlox; but
his eyes were eager and wistful and you
fell that he did not see these at ali. He
was reviewing little parts of twenty years
and thinking of some unfxed date, a
birthday Of his life, at the Met opolitan
sol,e lime in the new year.

der in which they were drawn in Wash

The master hst, made public from,

figure may be disregarded here All the
Numbers higher than the total number
Of men registered with your local board
will be considered blanks by that board.
Each registrant should ascertain from
his local board how many men II has
registered. Then, by taking the sub
Joined list and drawing pencil through
ell the numbers larger than that total
the registrant will be able to tell ex-
actly what his call number is; in other
words, he can ind out how many men
will DO summoned for examination be-
fore he is called.
This is the list: READ ACROSS THE
LINES, not down the columns, to as
certain the order Of the drawing; strike
out all numbers that are higher than
the total number of registrants in your
local until you come to your own serial
number. The cross heads-"1 to 100
and so on-are inserted before each
block Of 100 serial numbers for the
readers convenience.

SIX RULES FOR THE
PREVENTION OF FIRE
IN OUR GRAIN FIELD
z--WsGsS- --a

First-Keep your machinery in re-
pair; well fabricated and provided
with an air clarifier and a good sparl,
a,rcster. Hot boxes and hot carbcn
cause 80 per cent Of grain fires.
Sccond-Always have at hand n
the harvester at least two good che r
icaI fire extingui1hcr8. They keep III
lie fires from growing mp.
Tdird-Dcn't smoke in the fi@'t /.
Tobacco may be satisfying, but i )
not.
Foulth-Break up big fields by e.
TING hay strips at intervals WI .
cram Is green. These give ycu :
cfanee to fight and confine fire to q
.maH af&a.
Ffth-Plow several furTows aroUni
yoy Grain field as a fire-break. Tonr
may not be as careful as yo@
are
Sivth-Heln oroanize your comnluE-
~ nnd install fir- fighting apnarat05
at convenient roints. Get ready now.
After a fire starts it's too late.
