Gordon Erickson, formerly of Chicago. is not doubted by those who know the high musicianship, the excellent training and the unques toned ability of the new leader.
 From his home town" comes the most flattering approval of MT Brick son. both as a singer and as conduc- tor, and his many notable musical ac- tivities in Chicago have placed him in an enviable position in that big breezy city. where none but the best Is good enough for the thousands of discrimi- hating music lovers who live there.
 Mir. Erickson possesses a splendid voice of baritone quality and as solo, ist will contribute delightfully."- to the music circles of this city, while as conductor his experiences gained in as sociation with Mir. Stock of the Chicago symphony orchestra, have been inval- nabIe, and have served to equip him thoroughly for this line of work
 Tt was my pleasure. Mir Erickson said yesterday, ito have entire charge of the states of Illinois and Indiana, which composed district under Com munity Service, Inc, and to direct the workings of musical affairs. While my headquarters were in Chicago, l was in close contact with musical people throughout the two states mentioned at all times"
 After studying in Chicago" Mir. Err ickson said, T went to Paris and had the pleasure of studying there with Hugo Kaun. Returning, I took up con- ducting, and one of my most satisfac- tory experiences was the dictatorship of the Glee Club of the University of Chi cago-Black Friars Club. I enjoyed the dictatorship also with the Chicago Phil harmonic Choral Society. This society had very unique mission, and tha. was to present musical compositions which were new; which had never been pre- sented before and in this way many novelties were studied and produced with fine effect. These preSentat atiors were in conjunction with MT. Stock and his great orchestra. One of the delight full things that the Philharmonic and the orchestra presented was Mahier's Eighth Symphony" with a choral of 1000 voices; there were 500 children Tn the chorus and they were assigned to

my directorship. I couldn't begin to describe the grandeur and beautyo of that occasion; words are inadequate to ex- press the magnificence and the dignity of this gorgeous musical setting of chorus, orchestra, and eight world fla nous soloists."
 Another congenial work I had in Chicago was the dictatorship of the Sunday Evening choir, which sings each Sunday evening in Orchestra hall. There are 100 members and every member is salaried. This, of course, enabled us to have only the highest class musicians students of extraordinary ability, and the remuneration from their point of view made it worth while, and conse- quently we were sure always of a fall attendance and genuine interest

SIMPLE APPLICATION
 THAT DISSOLVES
 BLACKHEADS

No more squeezing and pinching to get rid of those unsightly blemishes, black heads. There is one simple. safe and sure way to get them out and that is to dissolve them To do this just get about two ounces of calonte powder from your druggist sprinkle a little hot. wet sponge-rub hriskly over the blackheads for a few sec onds--wash the parts and every blackhead will be gone.
 Pinching and squeezing out blackheads make large pores and you cannot get all of the blackheads out this way-whiie this simple application of calonite powder and water dissolves every particle of them and leaves the skin and pores in their natural condition. Any druggist will sell you the calonite powder and about two ounces will be all you will ever need.-Adv.

LARGER CAPACITY OF ROADS
Must Be Doubled to Meet Auamenting
Requirements of Transportation
Next Year.

We are confronted with the problem
Of increasing the capacity of our
highways. This must be doubled to
meet the augmenting requirements of
the next year Or two. Engineers are
wondering along what line this in,
CREASE shall be provided. One sugges-
ton is to double the width of the
roads and increase first cost and main
tenance 100 per cent. The most reason
able n Is to provide a road of sufi-
cieDt strength to carry vehicles of
100 per cent greater capacity for a
given width of road, as the first cost
OF these strengthened roads would be
only 10 to 20 per cent greater per
mile than that of present inadequate
highways, says a writer In an ex-
change. In view of the fact that 80
per cent increase In hauling capacity
gives a reduction Of Is per cent In
transportation costs, the latter seems
the wisest thing to do.
