SURPLUS MELODY
 EXILES FAMILY

New York, Dec. 30. - When the Carp family gets all together the air is full of melody for blocks around. Some like it and some don't. hence there are various emotions aroused in the neighboring bosoms. As a result the IS Carps have been relegated to the outskirts of Brownsville, repudt- ated by landlords and tena nts.
 Forty years ago when Moi E. Carp led a band in St. Petersburg he did not dream that his musical deScend- ants would devastate a community. He was a bandmaster of Czar Alex ander IT., but after he had been overlooked in a pogrom he was ban lshed and came to New York. He married and accumulated a family of 21. of whom l 8 are living and able to play everything from a piccolo to bass drum.
 Bandmaster Carp settled in Browns vile and gained a living by his rnus1- cal talents. As each little Carp came into the world he or she was instruct ed in the use Of some instrument un- til musically the Carp ramily was something to brag about( but socially they were ostracised. Carp used to get them together on Sunday, don n;s uniform with the little red coat he wore in the regime of the Czars ana lead them through the intricacies of Dvorak and Tschaiwoksky- Those were great days in Brownsville.
 AS the CarDS grew up three or the boys went into vaudeville with their violins and cellos and made music and money. Six of the daughters 1et dust accumulate On their fiddles and took up natrimony- But there were nine left, besides Papa and Mama Carp. They function as follows:
 Minnie, 19. piano; William Is, vio- lin; Aniel. 16, violin; Leon. 13. bass v1ol; Ida, 12. violin; Marten, 10. fiutes Shepherd, 8, clarionet; Denhardt. T. horn. and Pauline, BIZ. who picks out Grieg with one finger on the piano
 On Sundays all the other Carps who were within Tapping distance of the old home came back and lined up before Bandmaster Carp and the lid was off. The effect has been exile to a shack at 1574 Park Place, Brownsville. way out near the woods, and the Carps have been trying with out success to get bacak to civiiiza- ton. But to everey request every . landlord waves his arms and says:

TOO MANY LAWS
 SAYS P0ETESS

Brook1ine, Mass, Dec. '29.-Amy Lowell. the poet, raised her voice against too much legislation Q spe- cial town meeting here. Brookline, which is larger than many Massachusetts cities, is under a modified form of town government, Zens are chosen as voting members Miss Lowell is not one of these this year and was seated outside the rail, but she exercised her right to speak on matters before the meeting.
 The voice of the poet was first heard against a rule that would raise maximum speed of horses the public streets.
 '+Because horses has to go slower," the Moderator replied. children would not be allowed to skate or slide or drag their sleds on
 Are We going to make all our quired. Are we to be entirely off, cia Iized? Are we to abandon en- tirely our constitutional rights to the pursuit of happiness" ?"
 chairmen of selectmen which drew up the new bylaws remarked that Miss Lowell was a past mistress of satire and ridicule as those who read
 Mrs. H. P. Wilmington, a voting member, spoke in favor of the revfs- ions.
 Daniel Daley, an attorney, spoke strongly in opposition He asserted that the se1ectmen had made changes In the bylaws between the time these were printed and the town meeting, making the proceedings l- legal.
 In the end, the voting members pas,sed most of the new bylaws. That limiting the speed of horses V ect against the contention of Miss Lowell.
 The regulation on sledding was amended to permit children to drag tn cir sleds over the sidewalk on the return from a coast down designated streets.
 It was voted that it was the sense oe the meeting that the interpreting another bylaw against unnecessary noises the police should not take all .hc joy out of child ren's lives by in terfcring with their enjoyment of musical toys.

WORDS of WISE MEN

Genius and eccentricity are not friends They who forgive most shah be most forgiven
 Some people arc always in doubt and never get out
 Concerted harmony means turning to a common note.
 Who overcomes by force has overcome but half his foe.

 Consider well what your strength fs houal to and what exceeds your ability. It is not the disease but neglect of the remedy which generally destroys hfs- The man who boasts of a victory is r,rely a man who will blush for defeat.
