YOUTH At A DISADVANTAGE

PLAYED Too Slow Pieces,

WieniaWski had his humorous ex-
perienceS-this even after he was
quite widely known. On one occasion.
relates Alexander Bloch in the New
York Times. he was asked by Il
wealthy British nohlemnn to state his
terms for playing a half-hour at his
home. They came to an agreement,
and on the evening of the musicale
Wieninwski opened the program with
BeethoVen's Romance In F.
He was playing his best and deeply
engrossed in the music when he sud
denly noticed out of the corner of his
eye the host nervously looking at his
watch. This happened several times
before the Romance was finished.
At its close. as he was bowling his
acknowledgements to rapturous ap-
plauSe, the British peer caught him
by the sleeve and whispered in his
ear:
For heavens sake man, how much
do you expect to get through in half
an hour at this rate? Why do you play
such slow pieces?"

BEGIN TO RENEW FORESTS
England ard Scotland Have Already
Started to Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace is concluded, bat
are doing it now. Never before have
those countries been SO bare of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ton factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pr
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful. but those which are now be
ing provided for will be primarily use

Robert H. Moulton in Popular Mechan-

In the United States we are not in

are in the British isles. But there are
two kinds of timber which the war
demand has greatly depleted, and
they are kinds of much Importance
