The chorus made eighteen public ap-
pearances during the many war drives.
and is to be heard again to-day at the
entertainment for MANNED soldiers and
sailors at the Hippodrome. The Peo-
pies Liberty Chorus holds itself avail
able Tor any community service.
The two principal aims of the pro-
posed organization are the development
of American ideals and patriotic fervor
and the development of American
music. 1t is planned to accomplish this
by establishing about twenty commu-
nifty centres in different parts of the
city, or to use those already established
by other organizations, where the peo-
pie Of the neighborhood will assemble
weekly to sing and take part in such
other form of approved entertainment
as will add to their pleasure and
contentment. There rs also to be
large common centre to which the
choruses from the various smaller CEN
tres will go once week to sing with
small orchestra.
Several times yearly more for
NAL gatherings would be held in Madi-
son Square Garden or other suitable
place, in which all of the choruses from
the various centres would participate.
These concerts would consist of chorus
singing, accompanied by the best or
chestra procurable and assisted by art.

$4,000 Yearly Needed
To carry out this programme it is
estimated that 100000 yearly will be
required. This will be raised by pri-
vate subscription, by contributions
from business concerns, by the dis
posal of season tickets to the yearly
events and by the optional payment of
small fees from people who become
members of choruses After the first
year, it is believed the organization
will become partly self-supporting.
Among the we'll known persons in
terested in the Peoples Liberty Chorus
are DR.. Henry van Dyke, Walter Jen-
nings, Edwin O. Hotter, Robert Apple
ton, Brooks Leavitt, William p. futile,
DR.. Frank Crane, Mrs. William Fellowes
Morgan, Mrs. Dunlevy Milbank, Mrs
Edward S. Harkpess and others.
Mr.. Camilierii.. who will have the
management and development of the
organization so far as the music is
concerned. has achieved success in
popularizing community singing. He
was educated at the Naples Conserva-
tory Of Music and later studied at the
Conservatory in Paris. He has con-
Quoted orchestras in the principal cities
of Europe.

Music
Final Concert in New York of
Season of Boston Symphony
Orchestra
By H. E. Krehbiel

French, Russian and German music
made up the programme of the con-
cert arranged by NJ. Rabaud for the
concert with which the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra said farewell to New
York yesterday afternoon. The list
was generous and noble in spirit, the
performance of character which COM
PEELED admiration quickened with a
feeling Of respect which is not always
or necessarily present as an element
of artistic enjoyment.
First there came the Symphony in
c minor, by Saint-Saens, in which the
pianoforte and organ are associated
with the orchestral forces, compost
ton which came to New York when it
was comparatively young, and which,
though it has never become popular,
has periodically challenged the atten-
ton Of those of our conductors who
think seriously of their duty to art.
To it's performance Mr.. Rabaud gave
obvious care and devotion, ignoring its
possibilities for superficial effect, but
laying bare its ingenious structure and
its high aims. After the Symphonic
piece from Cesar Franck's "Redemp-
tion," it was possible to recall it with
an additional measure because of the
SOiIiooC NiiiCIi lCo otIOuS lOSlC pre-
sented to the too alternate instrument
talities of the master, who, with all his
sturdy qualities let his piousness
(Which is something else than piety)
Interfere with his sense of proportion.
When F'ranck essays religious theme
we can never rid ourselves of the mem
DRY that it was he who set himself the
duty of writing three or four score
save Marias" and died before he had
accomplished the task
The sentimental ghosts evoked by
LA Redemption" were sent gibbering
by the fresh wind which blew from
Bach's Brandenburg Concerto in F, in
which the concertino band is composed
of solo violin, flute, oboe and trumpet
Unfortunate the inflated size of the
ripieno band and the size of the room
initiated against the complete eff
fectiveness of this marvellous old
composition. When the tinkling tones
of the harpsichord (Which was used to
fill out the harmonics) could be heard
they were of ingratiating charm But
the music needs intimacy, and this was
impossible under the circumstances.
Rimsky- korsakoff's "Sadko," a pretty
bit Of descriptive music, with which
the Russian Ballet associated pictures
two or three years ago, followed the
concerto, and the overture to "Der
Freischiitz.' always fresh and dewy
as it's forest home, ended concert
which was heard from beginning to
end with enthusiastic delight.

TPHE WORLD HAD
THE SAME EXPERIENCE
WITH ROAD BUILDING

It took uncounted ages to develop
#a road, and even then they had to
keep rebuilding them, especially the
crossings of streams, where they
used footlogs, double footlogs with
scross pieces, arch supports, spans,
piers and spans, suspension spans,
adrawbridge spans, cantilever bridges,
sskyscraper double-story suspensions.
4 After the first hard-surfaced ones
were built, and then somebody in
vented macadam and cement. Then
Followed a century of invention, the
nineteenth century, and men de-
sveloped dozen kinds Of macadam
and many kinds of cement There
was macadam in water-bound, OIL
bound, tar-bound, bitumen, bound,
spressure-bound, and there was Ro-
man cement, Portland cement,
gravel cement, rubber cement, btu
men cement, glass cement, iron &C.
ment and many others from which
man might choose and adapt it to his
surroundings in road building.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-03-28

And they showed people that. road
building had just been born; that
it had a new birth; that they need
no longer spend their time repair
in groads as their fathers had done
honing razors, and yet be kept
bleeding from ACCIDENTS. AS the
man with the safety razor laughingly
scoots his little lawn mower" over
his face and without danger has a
scientifically complete and comfort
able shave in a few seconds, SO the
man on the modern road laughingly
scoots his modern vehicle over his
modern road and in joy and comfort
swings past a farm every few
seconds. The man, accustomed to
the safety razor wonders how he ever
got along with the oil done with all
its trouble, expense and danger, and
the mon on the modern road wonders
how he ever got along with the old
roads filled with trouble, expense
and disappointment. In each case
the first cost is more, but it begins
to show marked economies right
away, and he laughs at the unex-
pected advantages of the new kind.
He never goes back to the old, when
once he gets used to the new.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-03-28
BRIDLE-WAYS
BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

The demand for roads Is largely
a matter Of environment, education
and need. The shiftlessness Of the
mountaineer or that portion of the
south whose mountains are heavily
timbered with large, tall trees is
quite case in point.
The bridle-ways are originally
cleared thru thickets Of laurel and
rhododendron by taking some sort of
a "sight" to tall tree that stands in
the direction desired. The path is
never made straight, however, If
crooked one will require less effort
with the axe. The way of least re-
sistance is always the most interest
ing. They never waste energy by
cutting tree Of any size If path
can be made around it. The turns
and windings of any one that leads
thru the forest is like unto the puzzle
sheets one sometimes sees, especially
when a moonshine still Is at the end
Of the trail.
Another thing that always i'm
pressed me was the entire lack of
industry in keeping the bridle-ways
