START BAPTIST CHURCH

Foundations have been completed for the West Side Baptist church. which Is being built at Fourteenth avenue and Sixteenth street, and the pastor, Rev. W. F. Price, expects to have the building ready for occu- pancy in the next few weeks.
 The plans for the structure call for an auditorium that will seat several hundred. while provision is also made for the Sunday school and rooms for church societies.
 Many committees have been busy the past several weeks raising funds for the new building. This has been accomplished by having the members of the committees take time off from their work to make the can vass. All of the committeeman have devoted at least one day to this work. while many of them have given sev- eral days of their time.
 On account of the rapid growth or West Highlands, the church that is being erected will care for consid- erable increase in membership for many years to come. It Is estimated that an average of one new home Is being built in this neigh oorhood every week.

Ralm For AII strain

Since time immemorial music has been balm for all strains A musical race was seldom a warlike one" (French. Italian and German papers please copy).
 The replies abound in quotations from the savants, from Plato down.
 "On my first visit to my parents af- ter marriage" writes one girl, T overheard father telling a friend that when I left, the light had gone out of the home. Father referred to my music and what 1t had meant to them all. No art or accomplishment gives such widespread and deepseated hap piness as music"
 'The home without music is as empty as the home without courtesy. should be the common interest around which the home circle is built-stir- ring martial music subconsciously in- spring patriotism, that of quieter strain resting. soothing and comfort ing after a trying day, and folk songs leading to understanding of other peo- ples."
 Because dance lightens labor and speeds play; because the performance of concert music, whether vocal or instrumental, fosters harmony and cooperation; because music of senti- ment eloquently expresses the spirit of each tender relationship of the home and makes very real those inti- mate emotions which timid hearts seldom dare express in words"

Passage OF the Ball street railway

'cording to William NICK. Clayton,

tee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, who voiced his views
to members of the House District
Committee in an effort to prevent
further action on the measure.
Clayton pointed out that under
the provisions Of the Ball bill street

said that a merger Of the COM
panies under the Ball measure
would result in hpnfusion of ac-
counts. This would be so great,
he declared, that it would be prac-
tically impossible to determine an
equitable fare.

there Is sufficient opposition to the
measure to defeat 1t should it be
brought up for action in the House
