Musical training in colleges is 100
per cent more popular today than it
was ten years ago.
Approximately one half of all col
lege students leaders class presidents
and outstanding students play some
sort of musical instrument.
Band and orchestra work is now in
cluded in the curriculum of two-fifths
Of the American colleges and Univers-
tiles.
These are some of the high lights of
a survey on college music just COM
pleted by the Conn Music Center, Elk
hart, Indiana. The University of
Minnesota; St. Johns University, at
Collegeville; Carleton College, North
field, and Gustavus Adolphus College,
at St. Peter, are the four Minnesota
institutions of higher learning who
contributed to the survey. Close to
200 colleges furnished the information
upon which the results of this survey
are based.
Music has become an indispensable
part of college life in the opinion of
presidents and heads of music de-
partments in the institutions who ans
wered the survey. 1t is not only Of
inestimable value to the college itself,
but is also of great material and spir-
itual benefit to the student who takes
an active part in it.
Great stress is laid by college
heads on the benefits of musical
training in character building the sur
vey reveals. Fully one-fifth of the
college executives who contributed to
the survey considered this the best
argument for music in their college or
university. Others mentioned the
social and cultural advantage accru-
ing to the music student, music as an
aid toward developing clear think
ing, music on the campus as an out
let for surplus energy and as help
in getting many youths through
school. All but three of the colleges

find their musically-trained students
more efficient in their studies than
those in not so trained.
"Horning ones way through col
lege" compares very favorably with
other methods of self-support through
the college years, according to the
college executives. Despite the COM
paratively limited opportunities of
fered in the average college town,
fully one-fourth of all the students
playing in the college bands and or
chestras are paying for their educa-
ton with their instruments. Students
earnings range all the way from board
and room two dollars an hour tuition
fee, and up to two thousand dollars
year. Twelve per cent of the college
executives in the survey are of the
opinion that playing ones way
through schools pays better than other
means, another twelve per cent
thought it offered an easier way to
make ones way through, while a
goodly number of others said that it
interfered least with the students
school work, adding that this work al
so brings them in contact with worth
while people who can help them get
started.
Among those playing their way
through college, the violin comes first
in the preference of instruments. The
saxaphone is second choice OF col
lege players, but seventh with girl
musicians. Piano is the second fav-
orite instrument with the girls, and
third with the boys. Cornet comes
fourth in the preference of both the
young men and women. Organ is
next favorite with the boys, and flute
with the girls. Other instruments in
the order of favor with the young men
are the trumpet, the trombone, the
horn, drum, banjo and mandolin. With
the girls, it is the drum clarinet,
trombone, harp, banjo, trumpet, Or
gan and mandolin.

Best Way to Apply Wax

The best method Of applying the
wax to floors is to take cheese
cloth and double it to get added
thickness, then fold it into sort
of bag. Put handful of wax in
side and go over the floor thor

wax works through the meshes OF

japanese Mushrooms

Many varieties of mushrooms,
little known in this country or in
Europe, are to be found in Japan.
The most esteemed of these is the
shii-take. which is chiefly grown on
the evergreen oak.
Trees about six inches. in diane
ter are felled and cut into lengths
Of six feet. The logs are Scared
on the back, and are laid on the
ground for about three years. Then
they are stacked in rows in shady
places and soon become covered
with mushrooms. After yielding
one crop the logs are soaked in wa
ter, beaten with wooden mallet,
and again set up. In a few days
new mushrooms begin to sprout on
them. The shii-take is a great IA
vOrite in Japan, being used in many
dishes. but most frequently in
soups.

THE VICTIM

CINCE his youth Jones had been
- constantly under the care Of a
Doctor. Frightened by the dire
threats of his physician, he kept
early hours and followed most
rigid diet. However, not being
man of exceptional will power, he
often oraved those things which
were denied him and was only re-
strained by the doctors assurance
that the slightest infringement
would result in a fatality.
Finally one evening, urged by a
friend who sneered at the sugges-
ton of the practitioners infallibil-
ity, Jones went on a tear. Red
meats, wine, pastry; in fact, all
the forbidden fruits were con-
sumed in enormous quantities and
with startling rapidity. Night club
followed night club, speak-easy fol-
lowed speak-easy, cabaret followed
cabaret, in one wild night of pleas
IRE. Every rule and regulation set
down by the doctor was violated
and Jones smiled as he thought
how he had fooled the physician.
The next day while walking to
business he fell down a manhole
and was drowned.

REBUILDING OF THE OLD
SENECA TRAIL" URGED
Garrett COuntians As Well AS
West Virginians Interested
In The Project.
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor OF Inc RepuDncan.
We desire to call attention, through
the columns of your splendid paper, to
a matter of vast Importance to the
citizens of Garrett county which has
been sadly neglected.
Six years ago there met at the
Gnegy church large group of citi-
zens from various parts of Garrett
county and from points in West Vir-
ginia. The purpose of this meeting
was to bring pressure to bear upon
the proper officials to use their influ-
ence to the end that that ortion of
the road known as "The Seneca Trail
and extending from Gortner to the
State boundary line at Gnegy church
be graded and surfaced at the earliest
possible convenience.
Up to the present time, however, the
completion of this project has been
delayed upon one preteXt or another,
resulting in direct loss to the citi-
zens of this county of many thous-
ands of dollars not to speak of the in
convenience to the citizens of adjoin-
ing States.
"The Seneca Trail" it will be re-
membered is that road having it's be-
ginning at the intersection of said
road with the National Highway at
Keyser's Ridge and leading South
ward via Accident and Oakland, cross
ing the State boundary line at Gnegy
church; thence through Thomas, Par
sons, Elkins, and other towns and
finally connecting up with the great
highway system of the South, thus
affording a great North to South
highway, and forming, as it will, the
main artery of traffic in Garrett coun-
ty, Maryland.
Pressure is now being brought to
bear upon the proper officials and it
is hoped that favorable action will
be taken and that this summer will
witness the completion of one of the
most important road projects in the
State of Maryland.
In the interest of good roads, l beg
to remain,
Yours very truly,

PYTHIAN BANQUET
Annual Event Will Be Held To
Commemorate Founding of
The Order.

The committee in charge of the
banquet announce that plans have
been formulated and arrangements
are well under way to make the BAN
quet a success and worthy of the pur-
pose for which it is to be held-to
celebrate the founding of the order
of Knights of Pythias sixty-two years
ago. The date is held in high esteem
by all true Pythians. The committee
also wishes to announce that slight
departure from the heretofore preva-
lent custom of it being stag affair.
They have decided that the ladies are
entitled to special recognition, and
their presence is necessary to make
this event what it should be. Every
Knight is requested that he be accom-
panied by his "ladie fayre."
Let US deviate slightly from our
topic and interrogate ourselves con-
corning the ladies. Have they not
had a part in contributing toward the
success of the Knights of Pythias?
Have they not remained at home
while the husbands and fathers car
ried on the fraternal affairs, and dur
ing team rehearsals, who kept the
home fires burning? Do the members
of the fair sex play an important part
in the spiritual, social, civic and eco
nomic life of the community? Such
a mighty shout of aye should ascend
as to reverberate throughout the hills
of Garrett county. Hence, aside from
being a Pythian celebration, it is also
planned to give the ladies an evening
of entertainment. A palatable menu
is promised, while an enjoyable ev-
ening is assured. The membership
will be instructed by letter how to
make reservations. Be sure to an
swer promptly when you receive your
letter.
The rank of Page was conferred
upon a class of candidates last Fri
day night. DR.. Henry w. McComas
could not be present to give his lee
ture as announced, while Bro. Edward
P. Kahl was confined to his bed with
an attack of illness, so that we were
denied the pleasure of hearing either
of these speakers. DR.. McComas ex-
poets to deliver his lecture on Friday
night, February 9Th.
Eulogies seemed to be in order at
the last session of lodge. One valiant
Knight was so affected by compli-
mentary remarks that he forgot his
lunch-box. The Good Fellowship Club
wishes to express their thanks for the
excellent luncheon he so generously
served. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.
