the advertisement-that was all. ITnon
TIE PuoHc the tax was not felt as q
burden except in the case of artists of
established reputation and undoubted
merit In cases where subscriptions
had been paid for the series of con-
certs, with those of symphony orches-
tras and the opera before the tax law
mad been enacted the tax was paid in
advance by the management, and, where
the justice of such q course was OBJ
vlous, collected from the government in
the form of rebate.
The feeling of intolerance toward
German music and musicians was ap-
parent IN the concert rooms before pub
lie recognition of IL was reflected in
any action by the directors of the opera
company. great many singers quick
~ banished all German songs from
their programmes; others sang the
songs IN English TRANSACTIONS. Local
orchestras IN some of the small cities
eliminated the music of even the clas-
sizes, and this folly, which could but
result in the debasement of taste. found
some men and women, fortunately not
many, who justified it. AS if the music
of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann.
Brahms and Wagner, all long dead be-
fore the war was even a dream in the
wicked minds of the German rulers and
people, could in any wise be connected
with the authors of the most monstrous
crime Of a millennium. In January.
1918, the Philharmonic Society. finding
1t doubly desirable to repair fortunes
already somewhat decayed and now
threatened by the controversy over its
conductor, proclaimed policy which
left the classic repertory intact, but
the compositions of living
German composers. This seemed
proper expedient and one akin with
the prescription of German singers at
the Metropolitan Opera, of which |
now am called upon to speak.

HIGH MILEAGE TIRES REQUIRE
 SOME CARE

Don't neglect your tires just be- cause they stay up and give you long service Is the advice of the service manager of the Fisk Rubber Com pany.
 ''In these days when the science of manufacture has progressed to the stage where high miIeages, unknown in the earlier days are now the gen eral rule. Ii Is convenient for many 10 drive recklessly along without thought or regard for their tires
 Fires need attention the same as your motor They need to be properly fitted to your rim and wheel They must be trued up and the wheels must be aligned regularly Clashes and cuts picked up on sharp stones or troll ley switches should be treated and cared for like any wound There's a way to do this at a cost of only a few cents Any reliable tire dealer can provide you with FIlIicut and show you how to use it.
 Look out for those little things regularly, and make q Eabit of it. and you'n add many more miles to your tire life and obtain full service that modern tire construction builds into your casings-"
