ductor, NJ. Colonne, was going to d.
rect the orchestra, and when he saw
Elman, a mere child, he said with
establishment:
II have conducted for the greatest
artists, but never before have / re
ceived such an insult; I refuse to allow
this little student to appear as soloist
with the orchestra. He must play
with piano accompaniment"
CoIonne Apologies
Accordingly, young Mischa's part Of
the program, which was the Wieniaw-
ski Faust Fantasie," was played
with piano. and the house was in an
uproar at the close OF the number.
Amid the excitement, II. Colonne came
out upon the stage and congratulated
Elman, saying, II owe you all the
apologies in the world; you are indeed
a master and l am astonished. 1t will
be an honor to conduct for you, my
dear boy, and my orchestra in Paris
is at your disposal; when you come
there | will pay you a fee greater
than any violinist ever received in
Paris"
This promise was fulfilled in 1905
in spite of the fact that the program
was to be entirely Wagner. Elman
was announced to play the Mendel-
ssohn Concerto, and the audience re-
scented such an innovation. But NJ.
Colonne said from the platform, eff
anyone does not wish to hear this
number, they may 20 outside." At
the close of the solo, Elman was re-
called again and played no less than
three encores.

His ringing tenor voice and his jovial
personality have already endeared him
to hundreds Of local concert devotees
and he will be greeted by many friends
and admirers when he arrives for his
concert in February. Althouse and
Arthur Middleton are at present com
plotting a successful concert tour il
Australia. but will arrive in America
in November.
Another artist who will be enthusi-
astically welcomed by local music
lovers is Alberto Salvi, the brilliant
harp virtuoso. All who had the priv
ilege of hearing this wizard of the
harp in his concert last spring viii
realize why he has earned the title OF
"the worlds greatest harpist." Salvi

dreamed of beauties of the harp. He
is a veritable one-man orchestra, and
his playing never fails to bring forth
an answering thrill from his audience
The final number of the series viii

comique, "Cosi fan lutte" or, to USE
the English title, for it will be sung in

star cast of actor singers, headed by
Irene Williams, prima donna soprano
and Judson House, tenor, and will un-
doubtedly prove one of the outstand-
ing high lights of this season.

Hallowe en- Is Made
Legitimate Orgy Day
With All Joining in

There is one town in the United

This town is P~hoenixville. Pa. Hal
loween has become the legitimate orgy
day of the whole year, says the De

Last year, for instance, more than
two thousand people participated in
the revels which began soor after night

event of the occasion was, as il is every
year, a masquerade parade literally
miles long. which was witnessed by
about 1000 people.
There were vamps and gypsies and
Indians: there were hoboes and clowns
and historical characters galore. Jeanne

spectators that George Washington

A regular old-time cakewalk was
given by some colored citizens. This
was followed by other brilliant fancy
dances, and then the street dancing

Hearing Good Music
Is so Per Cent of
Musical Education

The training of students in music
has been a subject close to the heart
of men of rank and means and the OBJ
ject of government and municipal sub
vention. In most of the countries and
many of the larger cities of Europe
art is considered a legitimate object
for public aid and fostering, and music
receives a fair share of funds set aside
for that purpose.
The appreciation of music IN tht
part of the United States known a.
the wild west has been growing rap
idly, and the demand for good music
is showing a gratifying increase. The
average non-musical auditor is gen
orally ready enough to enjoy a tune
but when classical music is given he
does not enter into the spirit of the
occasion. A taste for good music
comes largely from listening to 1t. The
listener must, therefore, educate HIM
self to see the beauty of the different
kinds of music. 1t stands to reason
that the only way to learn to appreci-
ate good music is to hear it. But if
the listener knows what to look for
his task will surely be made easier.
Hearing good music is therefore DC
per cent of a musical education and
must go hand in hand with authorita-
tive instruction to produce perfect mu-
steamship.

NEW BRoADcAsTiNG
WAVE PLANNED

The department of commerce con.
templates ~inaugurating a new class of
license for broadcasting stations which
can meet certain requirements. These
stations will be known as class "B"
stations, and will be authorized to use
the wave length of 400 meters. The
qualifications necessary for obtaining
this class of license will be ready for
distribution within a few days, and
will also be published in the Septem-
Der issue of the Radio Service Bulle-
tin.
The new wave length may be used
only with specific authority of the de-
partment in special eases recon-
mended by the district radio inspectors
where interference is at a maximum.
This action on the part of the gov
eminent radio officials, pending the
passage Of the new radio bill, will aid
broadcasting materially, especially in
cities and sections where numerous
~broadcasters are located.

HELPFUL IDEAS
FROM AMATEURS
A SMALL THROW" AERIAL
SWITCH

Here is an original design for an
antenna switch.
The switch is designed from an ANA
tours point of view, taking cost OF
material and simplicity in construction
into consideration. 1t consists, pri-
marily, of two double pole, single
throw switches, the bases of which can
be of porcelain or, if a more elaborate
switch is desired. slate bases are rec
commended.
The main feature of this switch is
its quick action and small throw"
The angle of throw can be reduced to
a minimum and can be adjusted from
a throw of 10 degrees or Is degrees
to a full throw of 80 degrees or even
more. When using the switch with
only a small angle Of throw, 40 de-
grees or less, it can be placed in n
neat mahogany box with only the
handle protruding. Adjustment of the
angle of throw is accomplished by
either frightening or shortening the
brass strip c. By frightening the
strip the angle of throw is lessened
and shortening increases the angle.

Of RADIO
APPARATUS BEGINS
To ASSUME VALUE
Over Half Million Dollars
Worth Sent Out in
June.

American. radio apparatus Is begin
ming to be exported in considerable
bulk, and in June shipments amounted
to over half a million dollars, which
is the greatest value of radio exports
for several months. Experts of the
electrical division of the department
of commerce say that radio is only a
part of recent gains in electrical ex-
portations, which for June were 81
100000, greater than in May, being
Indicative of our recovery of export
trade in electrical supplies and equip
ment.
Our total export values for radio
equipment during the past six months
amounted to 81, 1916 June being the
best month with exports valued at
SJ47, 1854 and totaling nearly a million
pounds of goods. The value for June
was almost three times the exports
of radio equipment for May. A sort
of boom in the shipment of American
radio goods to foreign countries start
ed in February, which month saw the
expectation of $685. $50 worth. There
was a slump in March, during which
only $21, $50 worth was shipped out,
but in April the figures rose to S116,-
221, while for May they increased to
S1S6,364.
The fluctation is said by experts to
result from occasional big orders which
are completed during certain months
and shipped out, the orders keeping to
a more regular curve. In February,
for example, the bulk of the ship
ments went to Poland and Danzig,
where big radio stations were being
built. boosting the export figures by
S25S,094. The only other shipments
of any size were to the British West
Indies and the Philippines which to-
tailed about $4,000 together. Britain,
Panama and Japan took most Of the
radio apparatus in March. and in April,
Poland and Danzig got S12.190 worth,
while Quebec and Ontario, Mexico and
Cuba imported about seven times that
value. During May. Ontario received
S11S.S36 worth of radio goods, Mexico
S14.O44, and England S13,444.

Matters
Music for Americas
| National Anthem Was
Old Drinking Song

Discussion of national anthems is
again rife, somewhat more extensively,
earnestly and persistently than ever
before; taking chiefly the one of unfa.
yorable criticism of both the words
and music of 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." says Willis Fletcher Johnson in
the North American Review. 1t is to
be hoped that the time will never com
when Americans will not love that his
| toric poem and be thrilled at sound OF
it's stirring air. Indeed, it is to be
wished that more than one in a hun
| bred of them would love it enough to
learn its words.
Yet it might be ever finer than it is
in both words and music without being
well suited to the purposes of an Off
! cjal national anthem. The indisputable
| objections to the words are two: That
il is a poem of OCCASION" based upon
a single specific incident not of the
first Importance, and therefore insult
ed for permanent use; and that its
spirit is almost entirely martial, Got
to say belligerent, and therefore insult
ed to the peaceful uses of a peace
loving nation.
The objections to the music are that
it is of foreign origin, that its earliest
association was with an obscene drink
| ing song, and that it is difficult to sing,
| Not one nor all of the five objections
can ever Danish the song from the
hymnary of patriotism, but they may
well impeach it's claim to supreme dis
tinction and official adoption.
/ cannot recall that any air has
arn- hmm o1nntnd DC q nQtInnQl an
them which was not composed for that
purpose or at least for patriotic use;
nor that, with a single obvious excep-
ton, any was ever thus adopted that
was of alien origin. The one exception:
to the latter rule is, of course, that ali
which Beethoven, Haydn, Weber and
other great musicians regarded as one
of the nobleSt compositions of human
genius and which beside being the
"God Save the King" of England has
been the official and favorite national
air of at least half a dozen other i'm
! portant countries.
1t might, to the uninitiated, seem
passing strange that it should be OPP
posed on account of its foreign ond cs-
p~ecially it's English origin by the very
persons who are most ~Zealously in ia
vor of THE Star Spangled Banner"
and it is of curious interest to recall
that Samuel f. Smith, when he "shout.
ed a song for the brave and the Free"
supposed that he was fitting it to The
notes of a German folk ballad!
1t is not clear that there is any i'm
perative necessity of our officially
adopting a national anthem, but if We
should do so. we should make sure that
in all respects it is appropriate and
worthy. As to the argument that liz
tionaI anthems are, as poets, horn,
not made" it must be remembered that

Household Hints

To drive nails or screws into hard
wood, always rub them over with soar
and they will go in easily and will not
split the wood.
When ironing, screw the piano stoo.
just high enough so that you can sill
at the ironing board. When using ar
electric iron, this is very convenient.
When putting a lace curtain on the
rod, fasten a thimble on one end of the
rod and it can be done much more
quickly.
If the bottoms of your aluminium
pans become bulged, heat them SLOWLY
and they can be hammered to theil
original shape.
The disagreeable job of changing
feathers from one pillow to another
may be accomplished in a few minutes
with non of the unpleasantness, if the

ing of the vacuum cleaner bag. Make
a small slit in the old pillow and hold
the muzzle of the cleaner close to this
opening. Turn on the current and
the feathers begin TO fly straight from
the old tick to the new.
To open a glass jar of fruit without
cutting the rubber, let the top stand
in hot water several minutes.
When a broom's new, a piece cut
from the leg. of an old stocking and put
around the broom will keep the broom
from spreading and prolong it's life
several months.
The Inconvenience and annoyance
caused by paint dropping when paint

splitting a child's rubber ball in two,
cutting a small hole in one half and
slipping ever the handle of the brush,
thus forming a cup to catch the paint.
