escaped without injuries is one of

Overcoats and furs made their ap

Saturday the temperature was 81

This morning the temperature
registered forty, and overcoats and
"heavies' were in demand.
Frost is predicted for this section
tonight, although it is expected to be
only light frost.
Killing frost is reported in the
northwest portions of the state, and
heavy from the northeast and north
sections.

further drop in temperature that

But for the high wind last night il
is probable that light frost would

Buying Of Road
Filler Outside
OF State Scored

Highway contractors in the state,
and the state highway commission
with its influence, should buy all
necessary material for road construe-
ton that is possible in this state AMI
cease TO send I ocaliiornla and other
states for materials. according TO 4.
q. Clark. manager of the Associated
Industries Of Oregon, who was in Sa-
lem Fridey, from Portland. Mr.. Clark
said that il had been brought 10 his
attention that highway contractors
laying highways In the state were
sending for materials in California
that could be procured In this state
at a more economical rate, and m@ter-
ials of even superior quality.
Material B-azht Outside
Highway contractors in the state
are buying thousand Of teas of lime
dust and abthor filters in California
and are storing them in warehouses
throughout the state against the high
way paving season this spring. Mr.
Clark said.
1.-THE state should develop the Colo
Hin lime plant to take care Of all re-
quirements," Mr.. Clark declared, for
road building In this state. If present
equipment does not reduce the lime
rock there to the proper f%ineness, az
has been said. then proper machiu-
cry should be installed by the state
To reduce the rock to sufficient fine
ness for use as filler. The cost Of i'm
proving the plant at Gold Hill to furn
ish highway material for the state
would be saved alone in the profit
that is being sent into California.
Urges Oregon Products
when lime dust. or silica, is need
ed said MIR. Clark, the state high
way commission should insist that
contractors use the silica that is being
mined at Oregon City. or the material
from the state Gold HIN plant. The
state highway commission has the au-
thority to buy these materials ana al
low contractors to draw against the
purchase.
Practice Held Needless
There is absolutely no need foi
highway contractors in this state tc
go TO California for one cents wortl
OF road materials, except asphalt"
MIR. Clark said that the Oregon Re.
tail Merchants association. In support
Of their campaign to keep Oregon
money in, Oregon, were also interest
ed In the expenditure Of the Greg ,
peoples money In outside states fol
materials that ear be procured here
and that that organization. with the
Associated Industries Of Oregon
would take action against this prac
tice.

CONCERNING MUSIC
BY C. A. DAVIDSON
Director Of Music for Salem Schools)

COPIED by other large school systems
Prof. Graham's Recital
: Wednesday evening AT his studio in
the Derby building. Prof. Graham.
the noted viOlinist and teacher OF
Portland. who has been coming TO
Salem twice weekly, presented five
pupils in Informal recital. Several in
vited guests were present and were
delighted with the program.
4 thing which could not escape no.
tice was the good. round bow tone
elieted by each pupil. This is funda-
mental, and often marks the differ
ence between good teaching and
good for-nothing teaching. The bow
is to the y%iolinist what the breath is
to the singer. and the embOuchre to
the bandman.
Two beginning pupils, Mildred Rob
inson and Kenneth Allen acquitted
themselves well. More advanced
work was done by Miss Perlieh. Mr..
Buef and Miss Emmons. Miss Per-
llch's number was an Andante whcih
afforded opportunity for delicate
shades Of bowling and accurate intona-
ton. Mr.. Buell. attacked with snap,
dash and enthusiasm n Of De
Beriot's difficult scenes Iii Ballet.
The different styles of bowling and
the 4apid finger work made his rem
dition highly cOmmendable. Miss
Emmons gave "a brilliant interpreta-
ton Of the Faust Tantasiaa. This
young lady and her bow are becom-
ing quite well known nj musical cir
cles throughout the city
Besides these pupils Mr.. Graham
presented his 9-year-old daughter
and 1~2-year-old son. These childreb
are quite artistic and talented. AS
they played | thought Of what musici-
ans call ear" / recalled that there
are all degrees Of "ear," from the So
called who says he can't
distinguish Nearer My God TO Thee
from Yankee Doodle" up to the
symphony orchestra conductor who
can hum "a" for his clarinets to tune
to, as | have heard Frederick Stock OF
the Theo. Thomas orchestra do.
Other Events
Two other musical events of the
week which should not go unmen-
toned were the very highly pleasing
and excellent work of Mrs. Petrie ir
her lecture--Musicale for the Salem
Teachers club at the library Tuesday
evening, ana the program of represen-
tative American music by Willamette
, University students and faculty to q
capacity audience at the library
, Wednesday evening.
We have heard nothing but praise
for each of these functions, and only
lack of space precludes Il descriptive
analysis Of them.
A Correction
In Il preceding article Concerning
music building at Rocheste,s New
s Music it was stated that the new
York, would accommodate twenty
live thousand pupils. This should
have read twenty-five hundred. It's
Some building, but not quite that
big a sum.
