Program Meeting Of
Music Study Class

The January program meeting Of
Miss Brockmann's Music Study Class,
which occurred at her studio this
morning proved to be as entertaining
as it was instructive.
The program was a miscellaneous
one, ranging from Schumann' Happy
Farmer and Mozart's Don Juan Min
net to a Southern Jamboree.
Possibly the best work was done
by little Annette Cutler, who has only
seen seven summers. She played the
primo part in two duets with her
teacher very sweetly. indeed.
Helen Clary, Frances George and
Margaret Jewett also deserve especial
mention for good work.
Much interest was added to the oc-
casion by musical anecdotes and items
contributed by several pupils.
Those taking part were Mary
Broadfield, Ruth Bryan. Helen Clary
Eva Cox, Frances George, Margaret
Jewett, Annette Cutler and Dorothy
Risbeck.

There's one thing can be said for
the flu-they always prescribe medi-
cine for it that to say the least, is
not wholly obnoxious. Last year,
whisky was the favorite remedy, and
that made the disease popular with
some people. Now grapefruit is Civ
en- both as preventive and a cure,
and that, too is pleasant remedy.
Unlike booze, grapefruit certainly will
prove harmless, and it's worth while
to give it thorough trial as weapon
against the flu.

that the United States. which has al
ways been friendly 10 the Russian
people, should not be invited to take
part in such a conference. United
States participation would only be
reasonable. it was said. Should a
conference be held between the Allies
and soviet Russia. President Wilson
might state the position OF the United
States toward Russia either through
an official or unofflcial delegate OF in
a note replying 10 the invitation 10
the conference from the Allies, If one
is received.
This government openly expresses
disapproval Of the Lenine and Trotsky
regime and its refusal 10 dea; with or
recognize 1t. This firm attitude OF
the United STATES may deter the Presi-
dent from sending a delegate or an
observer to an Allied-Russian peace
conference and lead him to state the
American position in a note.
1t was reiterated today that the
United states regards the present gov
ernment OF Russia as a rule by the
minority and that the people now OBJ
scured in Russia are looked on as
the real Russia. It is in the interest
Of this true Russia that President
Wilson may take a hand.
So far as known here the proposed
peace conference with soviet Russia
IS not to be held under the auspices
OF the League OF Nations. Thus, it
IS held that the non-membership OF
the United States in the League OF
