Thanks to Mr. Eastman of Roches-
ter, and the wide, wide world, this
country sees efficient and thorough de

TO help a nation in music is to help
it intellectually. Music and intellect
are sisters. Music arouses the brain,
refreshes and stimulates it, as moth
ing else can do. Music is the only
stimulant that has no next day of let
down and reaction.
Mr.. Eastman's school of music in
the University of Rochester brings to
the city and to the students of music
the best musicians of the world and
provides musical genius with a mag

Mussolini decides to sell adyertis-

1t will not be good publicity. Ad
vertising on street car transfers, was
