Three ConUicts Break
 Rank For Freedom

Wetumpka, June 14-(Speciai.)-- Three convicts ran out of the hoe squad yesterday afternoon and suc- ceeded in, temporarily, making their escape. Nose Kennedy, negro, sent up from Hale county; Andy West cock, white, from Pike county, and Manly Levins, white, from Tusca- lcosa county. All three were young men about 25 years of age.
 Dr. Wikle, warden. Immediately sent for the dogs and set out on their trail. capturing them last night about s:S0 above Wetumpka, near Santuek. All three were nearly ex- hausted on account of the rapid chase and the extreme heat.

ing success. others failing, but as I said before. the pupil is responsible for his success, for one can learn in America as well as in Europe-even in Timbuctoo."
 The Art of Practice
 In regard to "practicing," MT Rubenstein was most emphatic. as- pecially when I remarked upon old fashioned methods of requiring the student to practice from five to eight hours a day, whether he used his brain when he used his fingers or not--5ust so he pounded" the piano certain length of time.
 "The main thing. I should say, the most important thing for the teacher to do Is to teach the pupil how to work; not pushing 1t in but concen- trating. Often in my classes at the Cleveland Institute of Music, I cali pupils in and have them listen while work; concentrate; and they learn great deal from this; I find 1t Is an excellent idea
 ITO instruct the pupil to do the thing that is most natural and not attempt the impossible; to know his own capabilities, answers your ques- ton regarding technique as dis tinguished from weight and relaxa- tion, said MT. Rubenstein. No rule can be laid down; pupils form bad habits, the teacher must correct them, but the most natural, the thing that comes most naturally to the pupil is the best thing in the long run"
 American composers2' Mir. Ruben stein echoed my suggestion There is far too great foreign influence to be seen and felt in most Amer ican compositions, coming largely, l presume, from the fact that com posers have studied abroad and have become involved in foreign atmos- phere and have adopted foreign ideas. That seems to me to hamper our American composers more than any thing else and 1t is not only felt in music, bus H. art and sculpture and alt branches
 The Russian composers who have been influenced by the French, German and Italian school-such as Glazounow, Arensky and Anton Rubenstein. illustrate what I mean regarding foreign influence.' as op- posed to such composers as Nous sorgsky, Glinka and Tschaikowsby who have held fast to their nation alistic ideas
 Everybody everywhere is becom- ing much more serious in matters of art tnans lormerly, sald MT. huDen- stein, and the war is directly re- sponsible for bringing people to a more serious realization of them selves in every way.
 Please let me say what a pleas ure it Is to be in Birmingham again ana to meet old friends whom lsEew when I was P years old, and also to see the tremendous progress this city has made musically."

Tomato Troubles
 About half the troubles and in- quiries reaching The Age-H Herald have to do with complaints about tomatoes dying. Some of these complaints are terribly distressing to the writer.
 They frequently emanate from some poor struggling, woman or man truck farmer who has put great en- ergy behind their crop and had a great expectation of realizing some real money from their tomato crop. Few of us realize the agonies hidden away among blasted hopes and lost illusions. The very small nematode or eel worm, infesting the soil, that bores into tn eroots of the tomato, causing them to wilt, fire up and perish. cannot be controlled by merely putting something on the. plant. They must be destroyed in the soil before planting or something incorporated In the soil to reduce them. Unless the soil be treated with some practical remedy, there Is no way to control when stalking and pruning methods of growing are practiced. People will have to abandon this method and grow in the old way of letting the plants fall to the ground and encour- age every branch to take new root thereby establishing such a root sys- lciu dS lo pEOlonS Ille III spite or the attack of worms on the main stalk
 Shade Tree Insects
 Every day complaints are reaching The Age-Herald about some insect attack on shade trees that have not heretofore been bothered. Most Of the complaints are due to the pres ence of some species of caterpillar. It is evident from this early infestation that the caterpillars are going to De very destructive this year. They are easily killed with a poison spray but it's big labor job to thoroughly spray a large shade tree. Preventive measures are much the cheapest and should be practiced. The, thing to do Is to keep close watchl out and as soon as the first patch appears de- stroy with poison spray. Bad spots may be burned out and without in- jury to the tree, if carefully done. It is good idea to band trees with sticky fly paper to prevent the cater-

All silver shops sell gray or dull
red canton flannel divided bags in
which to store the silver when not
in use. White flannel causes sill

desirable. The silver bags may be
hung on the inside of a door so
that without unwrapping or I'M
folding one may see the pieces at
a glance.

quires almost as much care and
breaks quite easily.
There is nothing any better
than plain whiting for cleaning
silver. This may be purchased at
the drug store for few cents.
Moisten a soft cloth and dip it
into the whiting. Rub this on the
silver and allow it to dry. Then
rub 1t off with another soft
cloth. For chased or ornamental
silver an old tooth brush is best
for removing the dried whiting
paste.
After this, the silver should be
washed and finally polished with
a channels skin. Ones good
enough for polishing can be pur-
chased for about ten cents.
Egg-stained spoons should first
be rubbed with salt and then
washed in water to which a little
ammonia has been added.
Before putting all your money
into silver, consider a few pieces
of brass or copper. A hammered
copper or brass fruit bowl is
much less expensive than a sill
ver-plated one and adds a note of
cheer to even the most modest

Many persons are surprised
