To the Shade of St. Clair Pollock
Riverside Drive
Your little urn yet stands as loved ones
placed it
When you set forth across the dark
alone;
Time, that has boastful cenotaphs DER
thrown,
Has touched it gently, but has not ef-
faced it.
What lovelier tribute could their sorrow
render
Than this that still your memory en-
dears?
An amia6le child: thus, through their
tears,
They called you with an accent quaint
and tender.
And right here, O tiny spirit, is where my
structure breaks down. I just
wish to say that sometimes, after hav-
ing been turned away by naughty hotel
clerks, repulsed by supercilious office
persons, sassed by telephone girls, Bit
ten by train guards, ignored by walters,
over me, and then having contemplated
the frame of mind Pm in--sometimes,
st. Clair, feel glad that once somebody
on Manhattan Island was 80 amable
that they made q record Of it-even
though he was only five years old and
has been dead long, long time.

The Marvellous Meeicar. Bands

AS New Workers may have forgotten
Carrlllo's attempt to found an "American
Orchestra" there in 1915, or Walter Dam
rosch's presentation of his second sym
phony, it may be we'll to remind them that
he speaks with authority, having been
president OF the international Music Con-
gress held in Rome in 1911, that he was
formerly director Of the Mexican National
Conservatory and that he was for time
concertmeister in Leipsic under Arthur
Nlklsch' Back in Mexico after many years
IN other lands, he teaches violin and com
position, writes technical works on theory
which are issued by Schirmer for Spanish
American countries and gives what leisure
he has to original work.

phony. l fancy this work will be ready
for public hearing by the time the Teatro
Nacional is thrown open to the public

drama can be adequately staged in this
music-mad capital. True, there is to be a
short season of opera when Lent ends, but
opera in an ordinary theatre is quite diff
ferent from opera in an opera house, and
Mexicans hope their new temple of art will
be the most beautiful in the world Ger
tainly, it will be the largest in the three
Americas.

tion as to the training of the military
bands which give free public concerts in all

Vera Cruz, one in Puebla and three in
Mexico City had demonstrated such aston

my curiosity. The brasses were mellow.

Mexican bands, Carrillo afirms, owe their
eNceHence to two things: Careful prelim-
mary training Of the musicians in the con-
servatories, of which there are now two
instead of one, and unremitting labor at
rehearsals. He does not claim that the
personnel Of the bands is really hioher
than in other countries, but he insists that
elsewhere, and especially in the United
States, not enough time is devoted to re-
hearsals, and that where orchestras ara
abundant there is tendency to look down
upon military bands and to relegate to
them only the socalled popular music. He
depores the pride of the musician who
thinks it beneath his digrity to direct or
compose for military band and says that
every conservatory pupil should be made to
study band instrument.
An enthusiastic on bands? Well, rather!
The fact is that the average military
band in the United States would not think
of attempting the programmes which are
given here. Popular marches, an occa-
slonal overture, ragtime and jazz-certainly;
but not the symphonies Of Beethoven,
which are feature of Sunday morning
Performance in the Alameda Naturally,
the Police Band fails to produce the effect
OF the Philharmonic, the Symphony So
clety. the Bostonans or even the minor
symphony orchestras, but the adaptations
are good the educational value is immense
and the bands suffice to keep alive the
sacred fires until in the good times that
are coming orchestral concerts and cham
Der music will cease to be rare treats.
Lately Mexico has heard an annual cor;os
OF twelve concerts by the Nacional Orches-
ira, but the Beethoven Orchestra. of which
much was expected, has disbanded and
concerts of string quartets are to be lis
tened to only in the conservatores

SAYS COLD WEATHER
BRINGS RETURN OF
INFLUENZA
Public Must Be Careful To Avoid A
Second Epidemic. Easier To Pre-
vent Than Cure. What To Do.

Encouraging reports Of the fewer
cases of Influenza in this vicinity
should not allow us to relax our vigil
lance or to become careless in the be-
LEI that the danger is all over" says
a well known authority. With the
coming Of cold weather there is apt to
be a return OF this frightful epidemic
ana Its seriousness viii depend on the
eiEeenL Of the precautions. taken by
the public to prevent infection.
w hen the air is full of Influenza
germs, you may be constantly breath
ING them into your nose and throat
but their danger may be avoided and
you may make yourself practically i'm
munc to infection if you destroy the
germ before il actually begins work
n your blood.
During the recent serious epidemic,
which hit Norwich so hard most suc-
cessful results were obtained by many
through the simple breathing into the
nose throat and lungs of the medi-
Gated air of oil Of Hyomei. Probably
no better. safer or more sensible pre-
caution against Influenza, Grippe.
Coughs, Colds. Bronchitis or Catarrh of
the nose and throat could be employed
than to go now to the nearest drug
store and get complete Hyomei outfit
consisting of a bottle OF the pure Oil
OF iiEomei and a little vestpocket hard
rubber inhaling device into which a
rev drops Of the oil are poured.
Carry this Inhaler with you during
the day and each half hour or so put il
IN your mouth and draw deep breaths
OF ITS pure healing germicidal aid into
the passages Of your nose, throat and
lungs u destroy any germs that may
nave found lodgesnent there. This
simple precautiOn may save you a Sc
rious Illness and the loss of several
weeks work. It is pleasant to use and
not at all expensive as the inhaler will
last Lifetime and further supplies OF
the Oil of HyOmei can be had at any
/ drug store for a few cents.
Hundreds of people in this vicinity
used Hyomei in this way during the re-
cent crisis and avoided danger. The!
