MUSIC IN SUMMERTIME

Music is coming more and more to
be summertime necessity. In earlier
times the season was comparatively
short; then it gradually heightened:
until the close Tapped over into the
first touch of warm weather. But in
the past few years summer concerts
of the best music have steadily grown
in number until the United States now
makes so man ydenands on artists
of the first grade that a fair per-
centage must cut short their vaca-
ons.
Among those who see in this move
ment a further tendency on the part
of the American public toward MAX
ing music an all-the-yearround ne
cessity is Paul Althouse, one of the
leading tenors of the Metropolitan
Opera Company.
"This summer has been part
icularly active one musically," said
Althouse as he was preparing to de-
part from Ashville, n. c., where he
shared the brunt of the solo work at
the recent festival cor1ucted by Wade
r. Brown.
"Ten years ago it is questionable if
even so musical a community as Ash
vile could have supported as preten-
tious a program as that extending
over a six-day period, during which
time eight extremity difficult con-
certs were performed. For when you
gather such a chorus as the one
which figured on these occasions, the
Philadelphia Festival Orchestra, with
Dr.. Tharreur Rich conducting, and a
group Of soloists from the Metropo-
Titan and Chicago opera companies 1t
is evidence sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that music is no longer
to be classed the Injuries but that it
has moved into the necessities CLASH
fication.
Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and
other cities are maintaining this sum-
mer admirable opera companies. In
many other centers there may be
found several weeks of splendid or
chestral or band concerts, while the
number of recitals in Ill parts of the
land is notable both in point ow quail
tity and quality.
"And there is another value at
tached to this growth of summertime
music" concluded Althouse. sit

"AS OTHERS SEE US"

Monticello Home of Jefferson
is Being Offered For Sale

Monticello, the famous home of
the founder of the University has
been put on the real estate market
and is Icing offered for sale. The
property has not been publicly Of
fered bat efforts are being made
through private letters. H. w.
Hilleary, an alumnus of the Uni
versity and prominent real estate
dealer of 1000 Vermont Avenue,
Washington, has charge of the trans
action fer former Congressman JEFF
ferson vi. Levy the present owner
of Monticello.
MIR. Eilleary states that while he
is offering the property, to the
United States Government, to the
State of Virginia and to any organi-

inclined 20 buy it he would like very
much tc see it under the control Oh

There have been several efforts

made t. have the government buy
the estate 1;r n memorial.
Several years ago Mrs. Martin
W. LittItton, wife of the New York
lawyer, undertook campaign for
the purchase of the famous old man
sion. Mrs. Littleton spent long per:
iods in Washington interviewing
Senators and Representatives and
officials cf the Government.
The project found considerable
favor, especially among Democrats
who were admirers of Jefferson, but
it was not widespread enough
among Congressman to obtain sup
port fo- an appropriation TOT the
purchase.
In the summer CT 1920 the move
n,ent foe the purchase of Monticello
was revived with the announcement
of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Association that a subscription was
to be taken up for $1,000, 1000. 1t was
explaine that tho estate, which com
pr;ses 700 acres, had been offered TO
the memorial association by Jetfer-
son NJ. Levy, former, Congressman,
and that it was expected that the
money tcr it's purchase would be &C
quired in a few months:
Mr.. Levy, it was said at the time,
expressed willingness to sell Mon
ticello, on the understanding that it
was to be converted into a national
memorial.
1t als3 was said that Mr.. Levy
had offered to advance half the pur-
chase price for the historic place, in
addition to donating all the Jeffer-
son relics, which were valued at
from 100000 to s250,000: James W.
Gerard, fromer Ambassador to Ger
many, was the President of the
Memor:a. Association. It's efforts
came to nothing.

for Employer.

Bill Blythe was really gardener.
But lie was a generally all round
useful man, who had never been
known to say mo" when he had been
asked If he could do a thing.
One day the chauffeur. who usually
drove the motorcar in which Bills em-
ployer journeyed, was taken i'll.
Bills employer had very important
business engagements for that day.
and it was essential that he should be
driven in the car unless he was TO
miss some of them.
So Bill was sent for and asked If he
would undertake to drive the car.
Bill had never driven car before,
but he had helped the chauffeur to
wash the machine.
That was good enough for Bill. He
said:
Yes"
Remembering the little theory talks
he had had with the chauffeur, Bill
managed to get the car round TO the
front door, and his employer got in.
With some maneuvering the car was
driven out onto the main road, and
then, gritting his teeth, Bill threw the
clutch into top gear, and muttered:

APPLES FROM ANCIENT TREE
Five Years Ago, II Still Bears
Delicious Fruit.

Two apples were picked by A. A.
Gutenberg at Vancouver recently
from what is said to be the Oldest
apple-tree in the Pacific Northwest.
The tree is 80 years old, and is a Lv-
ing monument to the romantic days
when the Hudson's Bay company ruled
over vast territory within the Uni
red States.
Sailing around Cape Horn in 1896.
Hudson's Bay company employee
ate an apple. 1t seemed such a deli
cious apple after his long sea diet OF
salt horse and bareback that he
planned to raise other apples like 1t
In his new home in the wilderness.
He dropped the seeds i'll his yest-pock-
ct and forgot all about them. But they
were discovered by the tailor at Fort
Vancouver to whom he turned over
his clothes to mend The tailor gave,
them to the gardener, who planted
them, and the trees that grew from
them were the ancestors of the
flOurishing orchards which have since
made Oregon and Washington famous.
The ancient tree, noM. standing alone
on the site Of the old fur post, has
lived. through many changes that made
history. Fort Vancouver was founded
on the Columbia river in 1924 by the
Hudson,s Bay company as the rival
of John Jacob Astor's. pioneer sAmeri-
can fur post of Astoria. For years

the company's transmontane capital,
and Its fur brigades swept as far east
as the Rockies and almost as far south
as. tile borders of modern Mexico.
When at the close of the "Fifty-four
forty or fight excitement, Oregon was
coded to the United States, the COM
pany abandoned the fort and withdrew
north of the international line. When
Fort Vancouver was at the height of
its prosperity, the company was SUI

WHOSE "FAMmY NAME.g

There are times when peace
loving, people cry out to be deliv-
cred from noisy minorities; yet it
must be admitted that Some of
the noisy ones are at least divert
ing. The Lucy Stone League is
more amusing than otherwise.
Its members belong to that little
band of women who want laws
eRacted specifically authorizing
married women to retain the
names their fathers gave them. in
stead of taking the names of their
husbands.
As matter of fact, married
woman may retain her fathers
name now, if she likes. But. as
has been repeatedly pointed out.
the marriage relation is hedged
about by laws and usages largely
III the interests of the children
that result from it. Nothing of
serious Importance will be attain

until they stop thinking about
themselves and begin to think
about their children. Whose

take-that of their mother or that
of their father? They can't very
