In an interview with Mario Laur-
enti, baritone, of the Metropolitan
Opera House, quoted in Along
broadway, an Edison Phonograph
Company monthly magazine. he says
In part: TT is my firm opinion that
every nation should take care OF
talerted youths, not only in music.
but in every other art. America,
with its great wealth and ideals.
and its love for the beautiful,
should be strongest in support Of
the plan that will help the needy
but deserving who have the qualf-
ties for the making Of a greater
even greater-America. II this wsre
done, I believe that America would
produce more great musicians than
Europe. i believe that Thomas A.
Edison has done much for music.
First he invented the phonograph
SO that everyone could have the
opportunity to hear good music and
good musicians at small cost. Then
he perfected his invention until to-
day We have his instrument that
recreates absolutely the voice OF
the artist itself"

HERO IN DARING RESCUE
Saves Drowning Boy by Diving Into
Water Through Large Hole
in the Ice.

/. Lynn, Mass.-Running out 200 yards
oyer the ice in the Saugus river here
George White reached water hole
in which he had seen a boy disappear.
He dove twice beneath the surface
and located and rescued ten-year-old
George Girourilis.
As White rose to the surface of the
open water a cake of ice came drift
ing by On this he placed the uncon-
scious boy and propelled his strange
craft to the edge of the former ice.
Twenty people who saw the little
boy break through and disappear be-
meath the ice dared not aid in the
rescue. Every step White took the
fast melting ice bent beneath his
weight
Arriving on shore, White turned his
attention to the boy. and by giving
him first aid revived him until a po-
lice ambulance could be summoned
Police Captain Broad of the Lynn
police stated he would communicate
the story of the daring rescue to the
Carnegie Hero society.

Concerning the Sabbath.

According to the Bible the Lord ere
ated the world in six days and rested
on the seventh. AS Saturday is the
seventh day Of the week, the Jews OBJ
serve it as the Sabbath, as do certain
other denominations following the old
Mosaic law. When Christ said: "The
old things have passed away; behold,
they are become new" his followers
regarded this as command to change
the old order. and they made the day
of his resurrection the Sabbath.
