Tribute of President.

President Wilson says: "The man
who disparages music as a luxury
and non essential is doing the coun-
try an injury"
Music is as inseparable from a ma :
ton as its traditions says citizen
and business man. History of man
is interviewer with the development
of music. and the history of great
cities to be will be as closely allied
with their progressive arts, among
the foremost of which is music.
''Well written and executed music
has been the inspiration of greater
accomplishments in many fields of
endeavor. Our boys sang theft way
into the lines of the enemy while the
folks at home were buying liberty
bonds to the tune of Buy bond, buy
bond; one, or two. orfthree.'"
Views Of Edison.
Thomas A. Edison expressed his
views in the following words. when
he was asked for an opinion as to
the "essentialness" of music.
Mere existence demands nothing
but food, drink, clothing. and shelter.
But when you attempt to raise exist
cnce to a higher plane you have to
nourish the brain as well as the body.

son who would say that books are
uncssential to the maintenance of
our civilization in America. Yet. after
its school days probably less than

Robert Hudson Appears Before

William ]. McNeaIey, S19 Twen-

Rock Island for a number of years,
and John Lindros, 625 Thirty-sec-
ond street, were two of the new ap-
9Ointees named by the city COM
mission at the meeting yesterday
afternoon. William McNealey is
the electrical inspector and John
Lindros is the building inspector
Each was named for period of
four years.
Inspector Lindros comes into the
employment of the city with the
highest of recommendation. He
has been a resident of Rock Island
for the last eight years and he
has been a journeyman carpenter
for the last 10 years. During the
first years of his residence in this
city he was engaged in the con-
tracing business and during the
last two years he has been a SUI
pervision foreman. Commissioner
Wich made the motion nominating
Mr.. Lindros and the choice was
unanimously seconded by the coun-

Robert G. Hudson of the firm of
Hudson. Collins and Hammerich,
appeared before the commission in
behalf of c. V. Johnson, the pres
ent building Inspector, and as rep
resentative of most of the con-
tracing firms of the this city. The
latter firms, according to Mr.. Hud-
son, while they were not radically
opposed to the appointment of
new man in place of Mr.. Johnson,
they were earnestly in favor of ap-
pointing a man who could handle
Che work in an efficient manner.
Mr.. Hudson detailed at length the
benefits that can accrue to the gen
eral public in the event that a cap
able man is in the office of build
ing inspector He also cited various
instances whereby an inefficient
inspector would not only embar-
rass the contractors themselves,
but the individual housebuilders
would also be the loser.
Mayor Schriver informed Mr..
Hudson that he welcomed his ap-
pearance at the meeting and also
that he Thought Mr.. Lindros would
prove a capable man for the posi-
ton. The latter opinion was also
shared by OIof Cervin of the firm
of Cervin & Horn, architects, who
declared he had known Mr.. Lindros
for a period of years and that he
had been favorably impressed by
his capability.

RICKENBACHER rs
ONE WHO SHOWED
u. S. COULD DO 1T

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
who speaks at the Spencer Square
theatre May 10, was born of Swiss
parents in Columbus, Ohio, 20 years
ago. Upon death of his father, when
Captain Rickenbacker was only "A,
he assumed the support of his
mother and sister. Living near the
great race track at Columbus he
early became an automobile enthus-
last. an expert mechanic and a dar-
ing and skillful driver. Since his
superlative achievements in the air
he has often remarked that this
early training and experience was
an excellent foundation for his
work as an air fighter. He gained
local fame in his own state and in
Nebraska and Iowa. In July, 1914,
he won his first real victory as
racer on the Sioux City track.
Three speedway events followed
this in 1915 and in 1916 were added
three championship victories-the
Metropolitan, N. Y; Tacoma ard
Los Angeles. IN 1917 he retired
from the racing field to volunteer
for his country. HE was in Eng
land when this country declared
war and the presidents proclama-
ton was issued. He returned i'm
mediately and offered his services
to his country. He is a winner of
the croix de guerre and the D. S. c.
with palms. His official record is
26 planes-Fokkers and Gothas. He
was the commanding officer of the
Ninety-fourth air squadron which
had the honor of being the only
squadron sent over into Germany
with the American army of occupa-
ton. The squadron has a record of
SO planes. Secretary of War Baker
says of him: He is one of the real
crusaders of America. one of the
truest knights our country has ever
known. He is our ace OF aces. Cap
tain Eddie Rickenbacker who now
comes back to us has shown what
America can do. He has written

TOO MUCH RAIN
FOR SHIP YARD
AN DL. & N. GAME

There was too much rain on East
Hill for the Railroaders and the Ship
builders to play ball yesterday after
noon and the games has been post
poned until some fair day.
And now the managers of both teams
are looking for the guy who wears
McCartney's trousers. This BIRD NC
CARNEY lived out at Ferry Pass some
years ago and had a very peculiar
pair of trousers Whenever he wore
these trousers it rained and he wore
them so much and it rained so mucn
that after awhile the mayor and the
city commissioners called on him ana
took the trousers away, just like the
knave of hearts and the jelly tarts
We'll anyway, the aforesaid trousers
were locked up in the city archives
or wherever the Mayor of Ferry Pass
keeps the crown jewels, and in due
course of time they We're forgotten
But when the present rainy spell had
lasted beyond the limits of endurance.
McCartney's trousers were remen-
bered, and upon search were found
to be missing.
The question is, has the H G. OF
Living forced someone to steal and
wear McCartney's rainy trousers?
