Youthful viOlinist shows
Natural Talent.

Betty Shippey made her first ap-
pearance as solo violinist at the
Methodist church last Sunday eve
ming before large audience. AL
though she gave only two numbers.
those present were able to appre-
ciate her rendition. The Swan Song
by Saint-Saens was most beautifully
played and one could only feel that
much is in store for this young per-
son. Her second number Alteration
by Borowski demonstrated her
ability to give expression to her dif-
ferent moods and marked her as =
most promising student. OF course.
her performance lacked the finish
OF more experienced artist but
nevertheless the audience were
mindful OF the fact that her tuition
has been short and what they heard
was the development OF her natural
talent. Many expressions of admira-
ton were heard and little Miss
Shippey has the bes, wishes OF all
for her success in the long years Of
concentrated study she is about to
enter.-Musicus.

@. How are photograph records made?
w. d. D.
A. In making photograph records, the
recording apparatus and the operator are
placed on one side of horn and the artists
on the other. A funnel or horn extends
through a screen and concentrates the sound
waves on the diaphragm of the recorder. A
wax record is rotated at a speed of 70 revo-
buttons per minute and receives the impress
sions of the recording needle as the artist
sings or plays into the horn. When several
instruments or singers are recording, the re-
cording instrument imprints the form cor
responding to the complex sound wave pro-
duced by all the sounds combined. plaster
cast is made of the original wax record. 1t
is busted with graphite and electroplated I'M
til copper record about nine millimeters
thick is formed. This is the master record
Working negatives" are made from 1T by
taking wax impressions of it and copper
electroplates in turn from them. They are
nickel plated and polished and then used
for pressing out commercial records by
means of hydraulic press. Commercial
records contain shellac and finely powdered
wood charcoal, barium sulphate, earthly col
oring matters and cotton flock.
Q. What caused John Bunyan to enlist as
a soldier? G. B.
A. Bunyan's father married again within

war, serving probably from 1914 to 1916.
Q. Are there any states ine which there
have been no lynchings? A. H. F.
A. There are but four-Massachusetts
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont
where lynching has not been recorded in
some community. In four others-Connecti-
cut Maine, New Jersey and Utah-there has
been no record of a lynching since 1889
Q. Is it true that Alice and Phoebe Cary
died on the same day? G. J. L.
A. They did not die on the same day but
died in the same year. 1871. within three
ifty-one years old at the time of her death
and Miss Phoebe forty-seven. Both wrote
many poems. Miss Alice wrote several nov
els. and Miss Phoebe, numerous hymns.
Q. What is meant by summer wood? E.
n. NJ.
A, Because of the slowness of growth of
trees in the late summer, the wood becomes
denser and harder and is known as summer
wood.
Q. How much does the government collect
in taxes on movies? !. NJ. c.
A. In 1928 the government revenues from
the tax on admission to places of amuse-
ment or entertainment amounted to $7O,-

Q. Which is the more elastic, steel or

A. The Bureau of Standards saws that

M'Adoo Marches On

~ OUTH DAKOTA's declaration for Will
liam G. McAdoo in the presidential pref
erence primary on Tuesday last marks
the fourth state, within less than three
weeks, whose Democrats have recorded their
confidence in that foremost of the party's
progressive leaders.
On March the eighth Missouri admins
tered to its own Senator James A. Reed,
bitterest and most slanderous of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's foes, rebuke that echoed around
the nation. Reeds objective was not only
to prevent Missouri's convention vote from
swinging to McAdoo, but also to capture it
for himself. He failed utterly in both de-
signs, suffering as severe defeat as If he
had been an intruder from the ends of the
Ten days afterwards, on March the eight
eenth. North Dakota, famed for its independ-
ent electorate, cast its Democratic vote SOL
idly for delegation pledged to McAdoo.
Twenty-four hours later Georgia concluded
memorable contest by giving Mr. McAdoo
one of the largest majorities in her political
Alabama Senator who in 1912 swept the
State against Woodrow Wilson. Now comes
South Dakota, reafirming the verdict of the
South and of the West.
The significance Of these events is I'M
mistakable They attest William G. Nc
Adoo to be the one truly national and truly
liberal candidate for the Democratic nom
nation, the one candidate who stands to win
in the New York convention and in the en-
suing campaign, the one candidate to whom
ths forward minded rank and file turn for
leadership. Reactionary forces both within
and without the party have done their ut
most to check his advance, but without
by Republicans, intrigued to connect Mr..
McAdoo with the unsayory oil leases; but
far from succeeding, the Missouri Senator
was repudiated by the fair-minded Democra-
cy of his own State. Similar tactics were
tried in Georgia by partisans of Mr.. Under
wood, whose zeal ate up their discretion
but just and sagacious electorate was not
thus to be deceived or misled. Wherever
the spirit of progress as opposed to reaction
prevails, wherever the rights of the people
rather than the privileges of the political
boss and his masters hold chief concern,
wherever the principles of Woodrow Wilson
are cherished, there William G. McAdoo
leads.
One after another his traducers have gone
down in their own muck; one after another
the "favorite sons" put forward to thwart
him have vanished in their own thin air.
What th~-lgh he is vehemently opposed to-
day by the special interests of the North
east? The politicians of that region. have
fought every liberal candidate for the Pres
idency In the last fifty years; and none did
they fight more relentlessly than Woodrow
Wilson. who was nominated and twice elect
ed despite all their threatenings and slaugh-
ter. The staunchly Democratic South and
the forward-thinking West-an alliance
which more than once has made great his
tory In America-stand with William G.
McAdoo.
And Georgia. be 1t said to the credit of
her good sense as we'll as of her ideals,

HIDDEN LOVE
BY DR.. Frank Crane
xIOU would be very happy if you only
knew how much you are loved
1t is not love who is blind it is YOU


NoU would be very happy if YOU only
knew how much you are loved.
1t is not love who is blind, it is you.
Today, as you passed in and out among
your fellow creatures, a thousand and one
little thoughts of love darted at you, and
fell blunted from the armor Of your stupid
unbelief.
For most of loves impulsions fly in the
dark. Love shiyers at exposure by a word
or act, even by smile or lighted eye.
He likes to shoot his arrows from the mar
row peep-holes of the dark heart.
He is born ambusher. He will not fight
in battle array, and loathes trumpet and
drum; his is a guerilla warfare.
1t is curious how we go about always on
the defensive. l know a woman who is
really very adorable, but she is sensitive
and is always bristling with bayonets to re-
pei any who would penetrate into the secret
treasures of her soul. is it not strange that
the more keenly alive the soul is to the
thrill and marvel of affection, the more it
seems to clothe itself in steel against it?
If we only knew the inner written pages
Of all hearts what a world of tenderness
and beauty would be revealed!
If all the honest love thoughts should be
said, or, better, sung, what music surpass-
ing the strains of Isolde, would play above
the swarm of human creatures!
1t is such music the angels and the
blessed dead who hover around US hear
and so think better Of US than we do of our
selves
cannot help thinking that Thersytes and
Diogenes and all the dog-pack of cynics and
pessmists who rail at the human race and
invent gal-philosophies, are really, inwardly
and sheepishly, passionate lovers, whose mod
esty it is that has grown to a pitiful rage;
and their cursings and snarlings are nothing
but incoherent hunger-cries Of love Doubt
less in the next world we shall see these.
souls burning hottest and brightest with ce-
Iestial passions, there where love shall be
stripped of shield buckler and yisored he'll
met, and We shall see face to face, and
know even as also we are known"
The one damning unfaith here below is
the doubt of love. 1t means hell
Why do We suspect so much, doubt so
much, and think it's such a calamity to be
deceived?

The car was turning into a gravel drive
way. They had passed between large stone
pillars and just beyond was rather forbid
ding looking long stone house. 1t looked
old centuries old, but it had none of the
charm of old things. To Miriam it looked
bleak and cold, as if it had sheltered people
who would look with scorn upon anything
warm and vital. In spite of herself she
shivered a little. but she was too proud TO
show Anthony her feelings.
