Music Notes
By Mildred Bryant Jones

There seems to be almost as many
methods OF singing as there are teach
erS OF voice and this confusing condi-
ton OF affairs. works a great hardship
on the amateur singer who is DESTROYS
OF studying. The fact that students
SO often, so forcefully and also so
justly proclaim this deplorablc situa-
ton brings to the attention OF voice
teachers the imperative demand for an
early and intelligent getting together
in this matter, 1t is very usual thing
for the pupil to say Il want to study
with Miss A, her methods are so Diff
fcrent from any OF the teachers | have
had before and | advance so much
more rapidly can hardly believe
that my other teachers knew what they
were doing As a matter OF fact. the
several teachers may have had prac-
ticaly the same kind OF training, but
their subsequent study or lack of it,
coupled with the types OF teaching cx-
pericnce to which they have been sub
jectcd, has left the indelble imprint on
their manner and form OF teaching.
Be that a. il may. there is no vague
ness which should be tolerated as to
certain principles of vocal instruction
and the instructor OF voice who does
not teach IN accordance with these
principl OF his own per-
soual devices for obtaining success
with pupils oil different individual
tastes and capabilities, is not only fall
ing short OF doing the best for the
pupils but is digging deep for himself

oblivion

WOULDN'T G0UGE
The PUBLIC

Ignoring Whatever might be SAID
about the merits OF Mamie Smith
widely advertised "Jazz Revue" il
should be borne in mind that Louis
Weinberg, OF the Avenue Theater
fatty refused to raise his regular
prices OF admission during the eight
DAYS that she was here.
Mamie Smiths management had
been charging big admission prices i'll
all the houses throughout the East and
South and had insisted on raising the
admission Tor her appearance here
This Mr., Weinberg refused to do
in spite OF the fact that the singer
was so widely advertised that She
probably would have played to packed
houses even though the prices were
raised.

CITY TRAFFIC Law CON.
FLICTS WITH STATUTES
Necessity Of Re.yamping City Traffic
Ordinance DeyelOpes In Course Of
Damage Suit Trial.

'At least one section of Maysville's
traffic ordinance conflicts with the
state statutes and the last must be re-
vamped. This developed in the course
Of the trial Of the damage suit Of Grif-
fin VS.. Maher in Circuit Court this
week.
The section conflicting with the
state statute is Section 10 which says
vehicles turning into another street
to the left shall circle around the Gen.
ter of the street intersection" The
state statute adopted in 1920 says
when turning to the right at an in
tersection of pubic highways, vehicles
shall keep to the right of the center
and in turning to the left shall pass tc
the left of the center, keeping, how.
ever, as far to the right as Is possible
so to do and still pass to the left Of
said center For the purposes Of this
subsection the center shall be held
to mean the meeting point of the
medal lines Of the two highways"
Diagrams in the city ordinance
showing the correct and incorrect
manner Of turning at intersections
are directly opposed to the state laws

YOUTH DIGS way
Between WALLS TO
ROOF OF LOCAL JAIL
Walter Bush, Arrested for Theft Of
Bicycle, Made Escape From Local
jail wednesday Night In
Peculiar Manner.

walter Bush, local youth, arrested
Wednesday afternoon by Chief Of Po-
lice Harry A. ort escaped from the
Mason county Jail Wednesday night
by digging his way between two steel
walls to the attic and getting onto
the roof through a hatch hole. He
then slid down a down spout to the
jail yard and made good his getaway.
Bush was placed in one of the hos
pital wards Of tho jail to keep him
away from another pIisoner thought
to have been an accomplice and It
was from this ward that the prisoner
escaped.
Several months ago one of the pris-
oners in the local Jail was i'll with a
contagious disease and physicians ad-
vised that another window be cut in
the two hospital wards. The two steel
walls are about foot apart and be-
tween them there is brick wall.
Bush broke the glass in the small
window and removed 1t. He then tore
the brick between the two steel walls
out from the top of the window to the
attic of the Jail. He was enabled to
pull himself between these two steel
walls from the window to the attic
and when into the attic found hatch
hole through which he pulled himself
onto the roof. From the roof Of the
Jail, he slid TO the ground, quite a
distance below, probably on one Of
the down-pipes.
Local police are Of the opinion that
Bush has escaped from the city but
he will probably return. The youth
was to have been brought into the city
court Thursday afternoon on the BIZ
cycle theft charge.
