5ouss Concert ohers special oppor.
tuuitv for Augusta School Children

In the third OF century that he
has been giving concerts with his
band, Lieut.. Com. John Philip Sousa
has had no more enthusiastic and ar
dent admirers than the school boys
and school girls. He always gives a
program that they can fully appreciate
and which lifts them to the seventh
heaven of delight.
The posters and billboards announc-
ing that Sousa and his band are COM
ing to town exert the same fascina-
ton among the boys and girls Of to-
day as they did rs years ago when the
Young folks gathered around the tall,
black-bearded figure of the March
King, on the billboards. some eager
with anticipation. some longing-eyed'
for in those days it wasn't always
easy for a small boy or girl to raise
the price of admission, and. were they
so fortunate, they would have to lis
ten from the back gallery, far re-
moved from older members Of the
family and their more fortunate
schoolmates with reserved seats.
Augusta offers a most unusual treat
to the school children at the Sousa
concert in City hall. Sept. 80. The To-
cal manager, Arthur N. Pettengill, has
received permission. through special
arrangement with Mr.. Sousa to sell to
school children 200 admissions at so
cents each. These school tickets for
the matinee concert Of Sousa and his
band will be sold as coupons which
may be exchanged for reservations
any place in the hall. so that children
may be seated with their parents of
guardians. Mr.. Sousa has made this
special offer particularly for the BEN
eft of the music students, but any
student interested will be given this
special opportunity OF hearing the
famous band as long as the tickets
last. Naturally, the number must be
limited and those who apply first will
get them.
Through cooperation with the super
intendent of the Augusta schools, all
pupils desiring to attend this concert
will be given excused absence after 2
o'clock on the afternoon at September
80, or in time to reach City hall. pro-
vided their school work is up to date.
Although past 70 years Of age. Sousa
is boy with the boys. and, as might
be expected, he is the favorite play
fellow and adored counsellor of his
five randchildren.-Adv.

THINGS
UNUSUAL
THE N. Y. HISTORICAL
SOCIETY
By T. T. MAxEY

The plans for the organization Of
this society which has evolved itself
into an institution, were originated in
1SO4-and had for their objective the
collection and preservation, for the
benefit and enjoyment Of coming gen.
erations, those photographs, books,
maps, newspapers, paintings and other
objects which helped to keep and
show the record of the progress Of
Americas most important city.
These exhibits are now housed in a
dignified and substantial building in
Central Park West, New York city.
The library Is said to contain upward
Of 100000 volumes and $4,000
pamphlets. The gallery Of art houses
more than 1000 paintings, most of
which are Of intense interest and are
without exact duplicate elsewhere
Then there are numerous portraits Of
former Indians, generals, politicians
and great and near-great men in other
and various walks of life who at one
time or another have been prominent
in the affairs of New York. Among
such, for instance, may be mentioned
Cornelius Sternwick, who was burgo-
master of New York under the Dutch
and who later became mayor of the
city under English rule. This por-
trait, it is thought, was painted in
1867 by the husband of Sternwick's
sister while Mr.. Sternwick was visit.
ing in Europe.
The museum contains large, inter-
esting and priceless collection of heir
looms and other objects. To mention
a few at random-there is an elab-
crate punch bowl made in England for
a dinner given at Castle Garden in
commemOration of the landing Of the
French General Lafayette in this coun-
try in 1924; also fan made for the
guests of the ball given in his honor |;
a glass mug made in commemoration
of the admittance of the state of Yer
mont into the Union in 1901; table
used in 1889 by the federal congress !;
shackles which were removed from a
slave (girl) at Americas, Ga, in 1866.
Some of the manuscripts are absorb
ingly interesting. Among these are a
letter written in lit by Patrick
Henry; another dated Mt. Vernon,
Va, November 9, 1889, and penned by
George Washington; deed covering
land in Albany, N. Y, dated 1856, and
a military record Of President William
Henry Harrison.
Among the views on exhibit are one
of the city and harbor of New York
as of the year 1874. and another show
ing how the now famous Wall street
looked way back in 1929.

Vacuum Cleaner "BIows" Organ.

In church where an ordinary reed
organ with pedaf-operated bellows was
used, it was desired to install an cleo
trio blower. AS the reeds of such an
organ are sounded by suction, the air
being exhausted from the wind chest by
the bellows, it was found that a COM
mon vacuum sweeper could easily be
made to do the work. A small hole
was cut in the wind chest, and the
end Of the vacuum cleaner hose in
serted, the connection being made air
tight. The cleaner itself was set in
the basement where it could not be
heard while running. The result was
entirely satisfactory, the cleaner do
ing the work just as well as AN expen-
sive electric blower.-Phil III. Brehmer,

PLAN TO HARNESS VESUVIUS
Italy Would Direct Flow of Lava and
Utilize Heat of the Big
Volcano.

In the future great volcanoes can
throw out molten fire and lava and at
tract no more attention than the pass
ing of a motor car, if plans now being
considered by scientists of Italy are
carried out.
After the gigantic accomplishments
of the engineers in the World war such
scheme does not sound impossible
and plans are being seriously consid-
cred to tunnel mountains known to be
dangerous in such a manner that a
sudden volcanic activity will only re-
suit in the gas and lava being carried
away from settled sections and val
liable property.
Especially are such plans being
worked out for Etna and Vesuvius,
the two most destructive volcanoes.
And with. the plan goes another pro-
viding for Harvesting the heat for in
dustrial purposes.
Premier Mussolini has been investi-
eating the plan and now, it is said, no
obstacle remains except the expense.
It is hoped that some way may be
found whereby Italy will be relieved
from dependence upon the outside
world for fuel and the power that fuel
produces.
If experimental boring is tried II
will probably be on Etna, because that
volcano, being on an island, can 90
less damage than Versuvius If stirred
to unusual activity by mans efforts.
Cutting tunnels through the noun
tainside would be simple in it's earlier
stages, and would become complicated
only when the heat, on approach to
the eternal fires, became uncomfortable
to. the workers. Explosives might &c

Flicker lis Your Friend.

The red-shafted flicker or wood
pecker is persistent enemy Of the
ant family, says Nature Magazine.
Many kinds of ants are extremely
harmful. AS wood borers they destroy
timber and infest houses. Worst of
all, they protect and care for many
aphides or plant lice, which are the
greatest enemies Of trees, plants and
shrubs AS many as 5000 ants and
ant eggs have been found in the stom-
ach of single flicker.
