right alongside you, and also, the writer OF
these brief lines remembers how on that
very evening when you stopped to talk with
Misses Finnicrock and Purpharp you were
late for band practice and were fined the

Leander. just plain L. Stebbins now, is a
distinguished specialist who tells folk how
the continuity Of their innards has been
broken down. He went to college at Wooster

An Awakening Interest Since the War.
Although the inclination to unite in
musical enterprises of this kind is inherent
in the American nature. since the European
war even a greater interest in bands has de-
veloped in the United States. Young SOL
diers who have come in contact with the
music loving nations Of the old world have
returned to their native towns to take UP
their old trades. They are paperhangers and
house painters by day. but upon them at
night comes the touch OF melody They
may have listened to band concerts given
'over there" behind the lines or in front of
convalescent hospitals, or they may have
heard the Germans performing on bossoon
and creaking accordion from beyond the
stretches of No Mans Land. Be this as 1t
may, the youth of the Legion have been
helping along this band spirit since their
return.
Another development Of the American
fondness for band music is shown at the
large Industrial plants. where the owners
encourage the worknen to play. because
they know that no Bolshevistic Crouch can
Withstand the roar of the drum and the
footing of the tuba. The Industrial plant
bands even In such large city as New
York have done some remarkable feats In
ensemble music.
Patriotism seems to go hand in hand with
the, efforts of the leaders Of our bands, for
no repertory would be a repertory at all un-
less IT had "The Star Spangled Banner and
all the tunes which throb with the love Of
country. There Is certain zest which a
village band In this land can give TO ma
tional air, which excels that Of the most
pretentious symphony. Who ever heard OF
any band composed of foreigners giving
even the semhance of the anthem Of the
flag as compared with the often rough and
ready Instrumentation of the Queen City
Cornet Band and Drum Corps Of Elkhart?
There arises band once in a while which
makes known Its name to fame. Those
which are so distinguished usually come
from the Middle West, where the band is
an institution and where the industry of
making tubas and tromboneS gives en-
ployment to many skilled wofkmen.
Those who are trying to foster the COM
munity spirit in the populous cities Of the
East endeavor, as much as they can. to in
still that same spirit of democracy which is
felt in the blare of the bands of the inner
United States. When that day comes they
will feel that they have gone long way
on the high road Of democracy.

T AFE CHASE and Tide Ruston Of the
silver cornet band OF Logan may
- not be equal in some ways as mu-

of these United States, belongs, but, they
certainly did have good times.
Now Lafe is a cashier in bank, and

Local Bands Cheer Democracy.
Great jewellers and promoters Of democ-

The brass band is peculiar to the United
States, for no other country II may be said,
has anything which even resembles IT,
In all candor 1t should be said that the
bands have not produced any great musical
geniuses as far as IL known. but at the
Same time they have turned out some very
good players besides Warren Gamaliel Har-
ding. Their chief function being communal,
they have In the last two or three years in
creased amazingly. One musical publication
a few days ago reported the organization of
seventy of them in a single week. The
various types Of community service, the
patriotic committees, the boards OF trade and
the chambers of commerce in towns and
small cities have been encouraging the Or
ganizlng Of the knights OF drum and horn as
a matter OF public policy. In many OF the
Western States the knack Of playing Of
wind instruments Is impaired as part of
the regular course. and youngsters scarcely
able to support the weight Of clarinets and
cornets turn out to make roundelay
New York Lacks Band Spirit.
New York has no such band spirit as is
manifested In the average small town, be-

from the beginning she proved to be an ex-
