QUARTET
GIVES A GOOD
CONCERT THURS.

A large audience was delighted
with the concert which was given by
the Lett Quartet at Hardin College
Thursday evening.
This organization is composed of
HAM Lett, first violin; Edwin Bach
mann, second violin; Edward Kreiner,
viola; and Horace Britt, cello. These
men are known individually as artists
of great talent and together compose
one of the best known organizations
of this kind in the United States. Mr..
Lett was formerly concertmaster of
the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and
has appeared as soloist with some of
the leading orchestras in the United
States. The other members of the
quartet are almost equally well
known.
The program which was given
Thursday night was varied enough to
please everyone. It opened with a
group by Haydn, which was made up
of'the Quartet in D. Major, Allegret-
to, Largo (Cantibile -Emecto,) Min
uette (Allegro) and Finale (Presto.)
The second group was the varia-
tions Of Death and the Maiden"
by Schubert and the Menuetto and
Fugue by Beethoven,
AS the closing group on the pro-
gram the quartet played Scherzo by
Borodin, Andante Cantabile by
Tschaukowsky and an Irish reel,
reel, Molly on the Shore by Granger.
The cncert given by the quartet
was a good example of the highest in
chamber music. Perhaps the most ex-
quisite selection from the point of
technique was the Minuetto and
Fugue by Beethoven although some
consider the Andante Cantabile
by Tschaikowsky the most beautiful.
,, After each number the quartet re-
ceived much deserved applause but
responded with only one encore, al
though the enthusiastic listeners
tclamored for more when the concert
was concluded.
The next number of the Artists
Course will be Miss Otillie Schillig,
soprano who will sing here February
6.
This course has been given here
this year under the management of
George May, of the music department
IF Hardin College and has been a real
treat to the music-lovers of Mexico.

Uncommon Sense
uzzmn1nza
by JOHN BLAKE
IF YOU o o
TT YOU don't happen to know how
to spell q word, consult the diction.

to spell a word, consult the diction-
airy. The effort you make turning
over the pages and hunting out the
word will probably fix the spelling in
| your mind.
Ask some boy how it Is spelled, and
you will almost instantly forget it.
Then next time you need to use the
same word, you will have to ask again.
Any form Of knowledge, If 1t Is to
remain with you, must be got with
some effort.
The child whose parents answer all
his questions as he is studying his les
son books usually fails in examina-
tons, where there are no parents to
ask.
If he had been compelled to look up
the answers he would have remem-
bered them.
If there is no other way to get in
formation than by asking questions,
ask them.
You could not, for example, find out
a mans name without asking. But you
could find his place of residence and
his telephone number, and his bust
ness, by looking him up. And If neces-
sary for you to know these things, that
would be the only sensible way Of
learning them.
In the study Of languages, pronunci-
alton and idiom can be learned Of
teachers. But the grammar and the
vocabulary must be dug out Of books
with painful effort. If you tried to
learn vocabularies by asking the mean
ing Of words you would make little
progress In the language.
Ask questions when you have to. but
remember that you are pretty Ire to
overestimate the number Of times
when this is necessary.
Remember, too, that in gaining
knowledge in this way you take
chances on other peoples mistakes.
The safest and surest way is to 60
straight to the printed authority, study
the answer to your question, reason
out for yourself why 1t should be the
answer, and then think it over a cou-
pie Of times after that.
The kind Of an education you get for
yourself is like the kind of a fortune
a man gets for himself. You know
what 1t is worth, how hard it was to
acquire, and you r very likely to
keep it.

w. S. Doolin
Finds West
Interesting

w. S. Doolin, who is spending the
winter in California with his wife,
writes the following interesting let
ter describing his experiences in the
West.
Los Angeles, Cal.
Jan. 16, 1922.
Dear Mitch
Mrs. Doolin and | are seeing the
sights of Southern California in great
style. And l assure you there are
some real sights to see. We arrived
here December 10 and have been 60
ing~almost every day since. A few
days we had rain and stayed at home.
But we are now having the finest
weather you a imagine. l do wish
you could see these good roads. They
surely do look good to one after being
handicapped with the mud roads of
Missouri (and l mean no slur on Mis-
souri, either for that is my home
sweet home) l appreciate that good
old place, and as far as roads are con-
cerned we will have them too, with
the persistent boosting of the Led
ger.
We have just returned from an
auto trip to San Diego and Tojouana,
Old Mexico. Things are very differ
ent ove there from what we are used
to. Prostically nothing but saloons
and gambling houses and vice Of all
kinds. You would almost be afraid of
your life aver in the daytime. / GER
tainly wouldn't care to spend much
time over there. We were searched
by the Federal custom officers on
coming back to the United States.
But We were soon passed as they
found nothing in our possession OBJ
jectionable or on which we were ex-
pected to pay duty.
We have visited many missions
which are 500 years old, and older.
Tomorrow we are going to San Cab
riel. AT this place they have a play
which we will see depicts the early
days of California and the founding
of the missions. Very interesting
to know to one who cares for history
of this ancient worship.
We have visited practically all of
-
the prominent beaches in the south
ern coast. A great many bathers are
seen ever now in the winter time.
The nights here are real cool but dur
ing the day the weather compares
favorably with a perfect June day in
Missouri. Flowers of every variety
are here in abundance. And with the
background of odd Baldy," snow
capped, it makes a beautiful picture.
l would like for all my friends at
home to at least see this wonderful
sight. We expect to be back home
and at the old job by March first.
Business here is good.
Well, Mitch, / had a little time this
morning and thought l would scratch
you a few words.
Hope you win be able to make it
out by the time we arrive home.
Your friend,
w. S. DOOLIN. :
Walker Pollock, who has been i'll,
is some better.
