Grafton by the local business inter-
ests for some time. Local business
men oppose the extension of the

educational matters on the ground
that it still further increases the tax
burdens of the State and is another
encroachment on state rights.

ing the stand taken by President

ing small investors to consult their

little of the life of it's author. Mich
al William Balfe, born in Dublin,
Ireland. May 18th, 1903. he grew to
be man genial, frank and attrac-
tive, an excellent husband and kind
father. As musician, he was prom
inent, in his day. especially in his
own country, but his achievements,
in the art Of music We're never of a
high order, until 1S43, when he pro-
duced THE Bohemian Girl" which
leaped into instant popularity and
made the circuit of the musical
world. 1t was translated into every
European tongue and became as pop
ular in Germany, as in his own coun-
try.
Balfe died at Rowney Abbey, Eert-

WOULD MAKE STATE
PARK one OF SHOW
PLACES n. ENGLAND

In n short hearing before the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds Wednesday afternoon at
the State House, the plans for MAX
ing the State Park, which is situated
in front of the State House, into a
beauty spot that would be known
throughout the New England states
We're discussed and explained to the
committee. Two bills having to do
with this park are under considera-
ton by this committee. The first is
that of Representative Maher of Au-
gusta, asking that $4,000 be appro-
priated for the fiscal year ending,
June 80. 1924, and $1,000 for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1925, for the
maintenance and further identifying
of the park. The other is that in
tlpduced by Senator Clyde H. Smith
of Skowhegan which calls for an
appropriation of 5000 for each year,
on condition that the city of Augusta
appropriate like sum. Several peo-
pie appeared in favor of the first bill,
the same people being opposed to the
second.
A communication from Lewis A,
'Burleigh of Augusta, chairman of the
State Park Commission was read
in which he asked that the COMMITTEES
report favorably upon the resolve for
the larger amount. Mr.. Burleigh
explained the plan whereby it is
hoped to make this one of the beauty
spots of New England by developing
the city property, known as the Driv-
ing Park. in connection with the
State Park.
An abstract from this commune
cation contained communication
from Governor Parkhurst, written
Nov. 1, 1920, in which he stated that
he was fully in sympathy with the
plan and should be glad to endorse
the proposed appropriations of So
900 for Jan. I, 1921 to June 80. 1921:
$4,000 for the next fiscal year and
$4,000 for the year July /, 1922, to
June 30, 1923.
II. Z. Bowditch, a member of the
State Park Commission, Grin B.
Frost, a former member of the COM
Mayor Ernest Mclean of
Augusta, and Charles Brown, SUPER
intendent of buildings appeared in
favor of the larger appropriation al
so. They were against the appro-
priation conditional upon the appro-
priation by the city as they claimed
that the people of Augusta should
not be obliged to pay for a State
park. Mr.. Brown asked that the COM
mittee report fought not to pass~ in
5000. as the amount would be Of no
use and would establish precedent
which might work against the pro-
per development Of the park.

ION LISTENING TO MUSIC"
HENRY GIDEON OF BOSTON
ED|F|ES CECILIA CLUB

Music is made over-impressive.
When the zero hour strikes, the
great performer reaches over and
gives You a something. That is the
aristocracy Of music and that is be-
cause the musician is of priestly
caste. The rest Of you are humans.
We are useless unless we can strike
a responsive chord in you. All of
YOU are more or less musicians"
Such declared Henry Gideon Of Bos-
ton. speaking Wednesday forenoon
before the Cecilia club in Library hall
upon "On Listening to Music" Such
he stated was the impression which
many got of musicians. How to get
fun out of music was one of the chief
points which Mr.. Gideon stressed.
BY fun, he meant to imply true APP
probation and intelligent criticism.
IF in an hour and half we can
awaken something that is dormant
in you, musical Appreciation, we have
done something more wonderful
that as if we could give you an I'M
pressive concert. There is some-
thing in the enjoyment and UNDER
standing Of music that is not to be
boa sted about.
I'm order to have real music. there
must be three forces. The originator
is the first. Long, long before us
there was the era Of folk song when
everybody made music. That was
before the day Of self consciousness.
The Interpreter is the second impor-
tant part. Suppose we had a hun
dred Chopins in Augusta? Suppose
these creative composers put thclr
music into notes and stopped? That
wouldn't be music. That would be
just symbol.
Suppose you had a gorgeous Sym
phony Orchestra, which your own
Augusta Symphony orchestra prom
ises to be, and there was no audi :
cnce? Or suppose the audience is
vawninr and nom Misunderstanding
Creative listening Is a great hobby
of the hour.
1.-THE whole movement OF adult ed
ucation has the purpose of getting
more richness out of life. There are
folk songs, symphony orchestras,

niano. and on top Of all th&t, the

"The production Of music is IN
crea sing much more than our capa =
citv to take it in.." The pronounced
dislike Of taking such as taking
fiddle taking piano. etc. was touch
ed upon in a most humorous manner
nv Mr.. Gideon, in fact his entire talk
was sprinkled with a good humor
that was irresistible and caused rip
pies of laughter.
The student Of music should dis
regard the gossip and the biograph--
ical matter which is placed around
the artist, through the press agent
propaganda. The real music should
be studied. Look into the music,
look at the bones Of it and see how it
is made. Do not be carried away by
the scandal and the stories about the
musician. such as appear in news
papers. When a foreign artist comes

ing the accident Louis Wilder testi-
fed as others have done of remarks
made by George Holt concerning the
accident that differ from the testi-
mony adduced on the stand.
Wilder was Close to Boy
Robert Wilder of South Gardiner,
son of the preceding witness, stated
he was within 80 feet of the crossing
when the Lawrence car passed on
that night. He was walking slowly
towards the crossing when he no.
ticed the Lawrence car near the
church. He saw Mr.. Lawrence stop
the car, shift gears and then come
over the crossing. The boy had been
walking back and forth on the track
and when the car approached he was
standing still. facing down the track.
Wilder had stopped at the end of the
sidewalk and watched the car ap-
proach. He spoke to Mr.. Lawrence
and heard Mrs. Lawrence say. Wal

he heard someone rtnning in back
Of him and heard a cry from the
track. He went to the track and
Ray Holt, was just picking up the
boy. Wilder knew Burgess but did
not see him at the track.
ON cross examination, he stated
that he wanted to know just where
he stood when the accident occurred
and so he had measured the distance
a few days later. He knew the boy
was not hit by the car because he
was standing up after the car had
passed. He had seen Mrs. Nlilroy
but had not seen Charles Crossman.
Mr. Heselton had much difficulty in
conducting the young man on his
walk along the sidewalk as Wilder
kept stating that he was 80 feet away
from the crossing at practically
every stage Of his story.
Charles w. James of this CITY.
clerk of courts and Judge Will C.
Atkins OF Gardiner, testified to two
convictions for assault and battery
against Ray Holt.
In rebutta1, Mrs. Louise Duffy, Mrs
Jennie Crossman and James H. Russ
testified to remarks made by the de-
iendant and his wife, Mr.. Russ stat
ing that Mr.. Lawrence said he didn't
run over the boy but that the mud
guard hit him and was going to make
some remark about insurance carried
by Lawrence when he was interrupt-
ed. Mr.. Nelson asked for n mistriaI
on that account of this last remark.
but his motion was overruled. the
court declaring that he would take
care of the matter in his charge.
Several other witnesses We're nut
on in rebuttal but all their testimony
related to events that had previously
been reported.

Music is like religion. It as been
carried on by the women in the past.
The man of the house has been too
busy during the week and then on
Sunday he wants to rest. Religion is
necessary to life. Music is necessary
to life. Anyone who has no religion,
is dead. Music is just as much
part Of life. Normal people crave
music. Men and women who do not
crave music are abnormal or sub
normal. Times were when people
sang songs to make labor light. Then
J, it became harder for them to sing,
because they became self conscious.
The rapid increase of made music

crowds flocked to hear advertised

about CALI Curci's high notes. But

Recognition of the theme, recog-
milton of the picture presented by the
music. We're eXemplified by Mr.. Cid
con. An Irish song. Damn" Boy"
was one of his instruments in this
process. Then he played Chopin's
Funeral March and pointed out the
eXpressiveness of the movements.
An intellectual response to music
is necessary. a two-part invention
by Bach was played by Miss Caro-

further eXemplify music understand

p1ony was explained. The folk songs
are the true songs of their times as

AS most delightful ending OF his
! interesting talk, Mn Gideon sang two
songs in Yiddish. from q book which
Mr.. and Mrs. Gideon have just COM
the printers. Mr.. Gideon explained
hear selections from the book since
it's publication.
The meaning Of the songs were
translated by their co-author and
composer adding much to the enjoy
| ment of the strange tunes and the
stranger tongue. A mission upon
which he and Mrs. Gideon are work
ing includes the introducing of folk
songs. Let the Italian, when he
comes to America, sing his Santa
Lucia. Let the Russian sing his folk
songs and let the negro sing his
songs. The keeping alive Of the folk
songs means showing history Of ages
past, as it really is.
