The great results accomplished in
the International Harp school, un-
der the personal direction of
Loretta DeLone, are the source OF
mosk favorable comments in the mu-
steal world as we'll as from the
press. Before leaving New York,
Miss DeLone was requested to
write a comprehensive article on
the harp for the New York Tribune,
and the following excerpts are taken
from this contribution to the New
York educational number. Miss
DeLone needs no introduction in
the west, as her fame as most sue
cessful harp teacher, has spread
even to the Pacific coast states,
from which students have come to
study under her. Omaha is favored
in the possession of such a noted
harp school, where pupils are pre-
pared for concert, orchestra and
teaching.

great deal siAce opening her studio

the study of the harp, leading to a

Florence Basler Palmer announc
es the reopening OF her studio at
1913 Farnam street after having
spent July and August in New York,
as is her usual custom in the sum-
mer. Her time in New York was
spent in gathering material for her

self with the new musical produc-

New Adding Machine
May Be Taken Apart

At least two novel features are
embodied in the construction Of a
new adding machine. Most remark
able, perhaps, is the facility and
safety with which it may be taken
apart, in spite of its complex ma
ture, a pair Of pliers and a pen
knife being the only tools necessary.
The operation of greatest value,
however, is the machines ability to
subtract as easily as it adds. This
is made possible by simple revers-
ing lever, which causes the adding
wheels to run backward.

a solo instrument, has this to say of
the advantages Of harp study:
Not Hard to Learn.
The reasons why the classic in
strument has not been studied more
generally is because of some errone-
GUS. ideas, such as the difficulty of
attaining proficiency or the pro-
hibitive price of the instrument. Ex-
perience has proven that more sat
isfactory results can be acquired on
the harp in briefer space of time
than on any of the major instru-
lpents; and since the United States
has the leading harp factories of the
world, the cost of harp is even less
than that of standard grade piano.
Some of the advantages of the harp
may be enumerated as follows:
First and Foremost-The neces-
sary development of the much need
ed power, concentration.
Second-Thorough knowledge OF

scales.
Third-Less mechanical than the
piano, as all shArps, fats and
naturals are made by the use oil
pedals which affect the same note
in each stave.
Fourth-Immedite cultivation OF
the correct ear, as the performer is
obliged to tune each note TO the ex-
act number of vibrations.
Fifth-Music is written in treble
and bass clefs.
SiXth-Hary, is autonomous in.
struinent, that is, it produces melody
and harmony at the same time.
Seventh--Only one lingering for
all scales.
Eighth-Good positions are al
ways open to competent harpists
who are the highest salaried per
formers, in orchestral and concert
engagements.
Ninth-Harp furnishes the mos
suitable accompaniment to the
speaking voice and singing voice, is
largely used in concert and social
functions, and produces effects that
no other instrument or combination
OF instruments can produce.

Deserted Kittens

W. w. Bradley, superintendent OF

has been advised of two cases of
deserted kittens. In one instance
the kittens were left in a basket in a
vacant lot and their cries attracted
a passerby. In the other case they
were left in q closed box.
"This- is cruelty to animals" said

plain that persons having kittens

M Americans were still pio-

The country was full Of men
who had seen service in war against

had been all his life soldier. 1t is
not surprising that American officers
felt quite able to handle the military
situation without assistance from the
host of applicants for commissions
from abroad. Therefore when Wash
ington heard that young Frenchman
named Lafayette had left his wife and
child and crossed the ocean to serve
the American cause as volunteer
without pay, he muttered: "One more
incumbrance." But Lafayette pleaded !:
Give me chance; l do not want to
be an honorary soldier"
He went to Washingtons camp and
there began a friendship which ran
through so many years like an idyl. In

Paris. France.-Standing amid the
ruins of Fort Douamont, just beyond
Verdun, and surveying the spectacle
of ruined villages, the tortured earth,
the wasted and shell-torn regions--the
awful destruction and desolation
stretching league after league in ev-
cry direction-one does not feel that
the peace terms handed to the Ger
man delegation at Versailles are too
severe. One cannot look upon this
work of fiends and feel that any
punishment or any indemnities are
too great for the nation responsible
for the scenes that are everywhere
apparent throughout the northern
part of France and Belgium.
We followed the road taken by the
second and third American armies on
their way to the Argonne and Chateau
Thierry sectors. Over hills, through
valleys and quaint villages runs the
road, as straight as an arrow for over
hundred kilometers, (about two Kill
ometers to mile) bordered on both
sides by trees, which when their To-
liage is out, forms complete arch
way of the road. So straight are the

756 miles from Newport to Yorktown.
Young Saint-Simon, Chosen, Chastel-
lux, brother of Mirabeau, brother
of Talleyrand, Barras, later Director
Barras, and many other enthusiasts
for liberty were in the expedition.
They understood Americans. Equality
was the particular American trait
which impressed them most, and this
idea was imported by them from
America into France.
Rochambeau placed himself and his
army under the command of Washing
ton. The ragged Americans always
had the right of the line. In case Of
equality of rank, the American officer
always took command. Not so much
as a cabbage was taken without pay
ment. Before Yorktown the Ameri-
cans were not skilled in siege opera
tons, and Washington gratefully ac-
knowledged the service of the French
engineers. The French fleet closed the
river, and the surrender came. With
out that French help we tremble to
think what might have happened.

the quality Of the tobaccos themselves both
Turkish and Domestic), and the other is
the proper proportioning of each to each
in the blending.
But while there are many Turkish
blends" on the market, it is easy for any
one to pick the good ones. Here is a
simple test. If cigarette satisfies your
own requirements on these three points,
it is pretty sure to be both good blend
and the right smoke for you:
Ersf-It must give you that real Turkish
favor-but not SO much of it as to be too
rich or heavy.
Second Along with this Turkish flavor,
watch also for that '1ife" and delightful
Sparkle" or that ripe, cool mellow
ness, peculiar to certain Domestic
tobaccos.
Third--The cigarette should let your
smoke appetite stay sharp and crisp SO
that you will relish every smoke clear up
to bedtime; and whether or not you
happen to smoke more heavily than
usual, it should leave you feeling keen
and fine.
