SPALDING HERE TONIGHT
World Renowned violinist in Concert
at City Auditorium.


Albert Spalding. whosplsys here this
evening at the city auditorium, under
the direction of H. ]. Dotterweich, of
the Topeka Concert Series. was asked
recently what he thought the late war
had done for music. Mr. Spalding,
who has just resumed his concert tour
after two years aviation service. Of
fered what sounds like a sane reply.
He says:
The war has taught all of US to be
sincere. true and unaffected. More
than ever in the worlds history have
we gotten away from the bombastic
and spectacular. This. in my opinion.
audiences will be more honest, simple
and Straightforward. For this reason,
feel the wars influence on music will
be broad. rather than startling.
There's no doubt in my mind that
an artist grows trifle stale and gets
into sort of rut after playing four or
five seasons in succession. When
put my violin away and climbed
aboard transport two years ago. nat
urally / wondered what might become
of my artistic career; but / was willing
and glad to sacrifice it for the big
cause. Now that 1 am back. can't
begin~to express the freshness and
eagerness / have for music 1t may
sound small to say so, but the war was
a wonderful vacati ton from one point
of view. L see things bigger. feel them
bigger and hope I play better"

ASSEMBLING CITY WATER DATA
No Announcements on Plans TO I'M
prove Supply.

Piles of data are beginning to arrive
in the office of the city water depart
ment. Consulting engineers are busy
assembling data, giving professional
diagnoses of the condition of the local
water plant and making prescriptions
as to what sort of treatment should be
administered.
AlthO Commissioner Wilbur Stan
field declined today to divulge even
hints as to opinions of the specialists,
he seemed confident the disclosures to
be made soon would prove interesting.
1 is evidently not the policy of the de-
partment to unload the information
contained in the opinions until they
may be assembled in one mighty vol
ume of representations.
From the manner in which engi-
neers have disagreed in the past in
diagnosing the plant, an extensive diff
lferentiation Of ideas may be antici-
pated
The obtaining of opinions on what
is the matter and what should be done
is easy. commissions point out, COM
pared with the task that will follow
of raising money. There can be no
doubt that real betterment of the
plant Is to require an immense sum Of
money!
