7 ikUBELIK HERE AGAIN
Bohemian violinist Falls to Find
Support He Once Commanded

Jan Kubelik apparently Is no longer
. name 20 conjure with. The Bohe-
milan violinist. who used to appear
here to crowded audltoriums. came back
TO Philadelphia after an absence Of
several years and played last night at
the Metropolitan Opera House. He
faced row after row of yawningly
empty benches. with few people
gathered intimately up front and quite
q representative throng in the dim dis
tance of the great balcony.
Whether It was the chilliness Of the
untitled seats or the slowing down OF
maturity, after the expenditure OF all
the fire of genius in the meteoric career
Of infant prodigy. the fact remains that
the Kubelik OF last night was scarcely
even the suggestion OF the kubel lik OF
old. He played with spasmQdic flashes
of surpassing technic. interspersed with
periods Of such merely perfunctorv play Z.
ing as might mark q rehearsal. but
there was never an insp.rational mo
ment. His style has become stolid. his
tone small and with no vibrance, MS
bow arm has stiffened and the wrist
has lost it's fiexibility.
Even a music school graduate is ex-
pected to stir some emotion of response
and sympathy with the well-loved an.
dante Of the Mendelssohn concerto. but
Kubelik did not. In the Paganini con
certo he seemed more nearly to find him,
self. and in it's tremendously involved
and difficult cadcnza he really rose to a
fine height and gave a fash Of the man

HOW TO RAISE THE

Letters From All Over England Give Pointers--It's a Simple Mat
 ter, Really.

London, Aug. 1l.-How to train the perfect child" has been explained in essays to the Association of Infant Welfare and Maternity Centres by 1000 working mothers.
 A child should be taught to be self controlled, obedient, kind, willing and gentle. but parents cannot make their children any of these unless they themselves set the example" wrote Mrs. Bladon Greet. Parents should take the children always into good company and read nothing but the best of literature"
 Mrs. Hilbert. of Chesterields. be- lieves parents should try to see things from the child's viewpoint.
 Children" she says, should be en- couraged to make playmates whose friendship will help them toward strength of character and real fun and happiness in what is the business of life to them--their play"
 Mrs Appleby, of Canning Town, thinks babies should be taught self control, because ''it prevents illness in after life; punctuality in feeding prevents Ereediness, and a regular time for sleeping prevents sleepiness." !"

 Villa once more confirmed reports that he was wounded. He declared however, that his wound came during d fight with Carranzistas within five days after the Pershing expedition en- tered Mexico and that his leg was all most broken in three places. His wound and suffering, he said, came to him in the midst of his efforts to or Kanize a great band of followers to at- tack the Americans. He declared he had 200 faithful followers to accom- plish the task of recruiting, dividing them into groups of three, four and five men, all of which were dispatched throughout Chihuahua to spread pro paganda intended to arrange a great uprising of citizens against the pun itive expedition.
 He was confident. he insisted, that he could have equipped at least S,- 900 of these recruits with rifles, the others to carry knives two feet long.
