English he was at some pains to de-
 scribe some of the numbers before
 they were played. To the average
 man of the street" who thinks
 Saint -Saens must have been a saint
 of the church, or Mozart the name
 of cigar, such system of eXplana- tory notes makes an appeal that couples the imagination with the auricular nerves.
 For instance, when the wild ac- claims of the assembled guests de- manded an additional number after the first part of the program was finished, Mir. Maier announced that Saint -Saens' "Danse Macabre" would be given, and then told the bedtime story of how it illustrates the arising of a spirit in graveyard at the stroke of midnight, awakens the others, how one tombstone after the other is kicked over as the spirits arise, and how they dance until the cock crows.
 That story was comparatively sim pie, however. The other instance Of explaining the elusive harmony came at the finish of the concert, with three movements from Ravels Mother Goose" suite were thrown in for good measure. Mo. Maier told how the first indicated the singing stars as the beauty went to her bath in the woods and then fell asleep; how the second illustrated the music played by little Chinese idols which sprang from the trees. playing "fiddles made of almond shells and banjos made of walnut shells" and the third the wooing of sleeping beauty by the beast, how the grunts in the bass illustrated the beast and the tenuous quivering in the treble the emotional frenzy of the bride-to- -be-and then the beast suddenly turned into a fine man and all was fixed for the wedding bells on the morrow.
 Consequently when the audience listened to the music the interest was enormously enhanced, with much marvellng that the music H. | lustrated the story so effectively. | Without inc explanation the public 1 would not have known what 1t was all about, except for the half dozen ! or so who already knew the inner | meaning of the suite.
 Maier and Pattlson did not only i play as one man-they played better

than one man. They have revitaliz- ed the waning piano recital and put it upon a plane where the proleta-
 riat insists on getting an earful It isn't necessary to mention their singing tone and their musicianship; they had everything
 No explanation went with De- bussy's Afternoon of a Faun," nor to Chabriers Spanish Rhapsody"

But in the two-p piano version the delicate subdivisions of groups of instru- ments, which gives such bizarre col oristic effects to the orchestral yer sion, are lacking, so that the tend ency to part the jaws in astonish. ment is also missing. The four hands of the performers played al- mosts all if not all of the notes in the original score, but the gorgeous tone colorings. which have made the piece famous, were impossible of performance on a one-color instru- ment. The same held true to less CT degree of the Chabrier compost ton.
 The Mother Goose suite, previous ly referred 10, was originally written as a piano duet for children, com- posed in 1908 and orchestrated in 1912. In the latter garb it is an astonishing specimen of atmospheric description. The second movement played yesterday-the third in the suite-with its themes in the Chi nese pentatonic scale, has earned considerable fame, and the smiles of yesterdays audience at the Chinese dance" was a tribute to its ironic humor.

Maier and Pattison Charm Large
 Audience at Capitol

If was a trifie difficult for the Musical club to convince some Of the music-loving and concert-going pup lie of this city that MesSrs. Guy Maier and Lee Pattison were artists of the first rank and fully worth the price of admission. Your sophist- cated hero worshlpper, who knows how to pronounce the polysyllabIe of Paderewski and Rachmaninott correctly, has difficulty in under standing how two piano persons with such indigenous names as Maier and Pattison can be of celebrity caliber. If their names were Polopararevskt and Mosiefskavitch and Moscow their hometown, their sterling quail ties might be more easily under stood. But these two ivory expound- CTS have names that suggest they were raised in the corn belt.
 But be that as 1t may, the critical intelligentsia have changed their minds. If Mir. Maier and Mir. Patti son concertize in these parts again the former doubting Thomasses and their wives. sweethearts and platonic friends will all he there, Which is by way ot saying that the two gen. tlemen made ! big hit at the Capitol yesterday afternoon.

We broke the frame of the car in
the southern part of Iowa so we put
in a new frame at Peoria, Illinois. We
broke the trailer tongue twice and
had to put three new leaves in the
spring. All this trouble delayed us
over two days.
We saw great corn fields in Iowa
and Illinois and cotton fields in Ar
kansas. We also saw large fields of
rice cut and shocked just like wheat.
DarldeS and dcnkies are to be seen
everywhere.
Yesterday and today we have been
sightseeing and sizing up the colony.
We went through all the industries.
We saw the chicken ranch, the dairy
farm, the sweet potato and peanut
fields and gardens. We are kind of
disappointed with the soil being san
dy, except on the fats which they call
bottom lands. That is heavy clay soil.
The colony has acquired a lot of
property such as buildings and ma
chinery. Their industries consist of
ice plant and cold storage, saw mill
and planning mill, veneer or crate fac
tory, sweet potato drying kiln, can
merry, laundry, hotel and cafeteria,
hospital, general store, shoe and har-
ness shop, library, two school houses
and kindergarten where they take
care of little fellows under ten years,
theatre and roof garden or dance
hall. The colony town covers about
40 acres.
There is not a single unemployed
person here. Everybody is just as
busy as can be at productive labor
making crates, saving lumber, haul
ing cane and making syrup, digging
sweet potatoes and peanuts, washing
mending, cooking and baking. Every
body seems to be happy, especially
the children.
The food served is very simple. We
have not seen pie, cake or cookie!
