Entertainment
And Education

One of the greatest charms about
music is that it is an art which en-
tertains at the same time 1t educates.
The educational advantages of music
have not always been appreciated, but
of late years the work done in music
in the public schools has aroused an
interest in what it means to the young
student.
How could child receive more of
an uplift along the way of learning
than by hearing such a splendid pro-
gram as will be presented at City hall
on Sunday afternoon at 230 o'clock
by the Maine Festival Orchestra un-
der the direction of DR. VIM. r. Crap
man? This orchestra is composed of
players from the New York Philhar-
monte Society, and each man is a
really great player. a professional on
his instrument.
In addition to the orchestra there
will be three artists of the best type,
and all well known in metropolitan
music circles.
Fannye Louise Block, contralto,
Henri MarcouX, baritone, Benno Rab-
inoff, violinist. DR.. Chapman. with his
usual cooperative spirit, has said
make this concert available to the
children
The committee has done this by au-
thorizing the sale of school children's
or students tickets at so cents.
In the larger cities the concert halls
will hardly hold the crowds who are
anxious to hear this great orchestra
and these soloists. The people of Au-
gusta have truly good music brought
to their doors.
No tickets will be sold or money
exchanged on Sunday, so buy your
tickets at once Of the committee or at

single and double breasted models.
Belts are entirely absent this year,

New shades and shapes in Knox

Davis. A newcomer is the Sunfast
hat said to be the only one that is
guaranteed not to fade. This comes
in two grades, the better known as
Fanuel felt. The Sunfast hat has
made a big hit in New York and
will, it is predicted, be equally
popular in Augusta and vicinity.
Fruit Of the Loom shirts of guar
anteed coloring are featured for
both men and boys. Stripes are
more in evidence than In the spring
when plain colors were so popular.
Neckwear Is of the prevailing bright
hues, mostly in stripes Shaker
knit sweaters, both button and pull

are almost identical with the styles
for men, only. of course, they are

double breasted with two pairs of
pants one long and one short.
These are in blue cheviots and mix

POSTAGE STAMPS PRINTED
ON NEW ROTARY PRESSES

Purchasers of postage stamps have
frequently reported to the local post
office of late an apparent lack of
sufficient gum on the postage stamps.
This condition was reported to
Washington and it is learned that
although the same quality Of gum is
being used the stamps are being
manufactured on new rotary presses
instead of the old fiat plates. Being
printed from rolled paper the stamps
have a tendency to curl in some in
stances. particularly under adverse
weather The Department expects
the new rotary process stamps to be
fully as satisfactory as those here
tofore issued, but some adjustments
are still necessary in the n1anufac-
