the "yamshtshik" shouts SO mer-
rily while his troika careens over
the frozen wastes, if you have not
heard her sing of a hundred things
that reveal the very soul of the
Russian peasant, then you have still
to learn that out of that strire-
torn land come other things besides
Bolsheviki. things of purest beauty
and lifting sensuousness-the songs

MUSIC OF THE WEST
IS POPULAR IN JAPAN

That the popularity of Western
music in Japan is rapidly growing
is indicated by the recent establish
ment, under government authorize
tiOn, Of a school of tuning of Tokyo.
The school is the first of its kind
in Japan. 1t will train tuners and
repairers in the manufacture, tun-
ing and repairing of musical instru-
mentS.
The founder of the school is T.
Fukushima. who is said to be the
only Japanese who has studied tun-
ing in America.
Mr.. Fukushima's idea in founding
the tuning school is to meet the
present and future demands for
competent tuners, which have grown
in consequence of the phenomenal
increase of pianos and organs in
Japanese homes and schools in re-
cent years.

TO receive the spoken praise Of
the President of the United States,
as well a. the commendation of the
First Lady of the Land is no small
distinction for a church choir singer.
Yet that honor has been bestowed
upon Earl Carbauh. baritone soloist
at the Central Presbyterian Church
the Presidents place Of worship.
Mr.. Csrhauh has been the soloist
at the Central Church for four years.
At one Of the anniversary exercises
of the church he was on the pro-
gram which was listened TO by the
President and Mrs. Wilson. At the
conclusion Of the entertainment the
distinguished guests complimented
Mr.. Carbauh for his excellent sing
ing and the admirable taste which
he displayed in the selection Of his
solos.
Prior to coming to Washington,
Mr.. Carbauh was a civil engineer in
the West and was chief engineer on
the Dayton & Northern Traction
when ii constructed its line from
Dayton TO GreenvIlle, Ohio. 1t is in
teresting to note that, before com
ing to this city. Mr.. Carbauh had
never sung, and that he began les
sons with view to being a teacher
and not singer. He studied with
c. NJ. COrtesi. who was a leading
baritone with Patti for fifteen years.
and with Saenger, in New York. It
is Mr.. Carbauh's firm opinion that
everyone can develop a singing
voice.
Credit for making Flag Day a
success in Washington is due Mr..
Carbauh, who started the exercises
in the Postoffice Department with if
teen singers. Now the services are
enriched by hundreds of voices and
by the appearance of the L. s. Ma
rine Band. Mr.. Carbauh was the
baritone soloist at the Mount Vernon
Methodist Church South for several
years, and was for a long time a
member of the MusUrgua Quartet.
