today held up Al men and
women in the Biarritz Night
Club, 30 West Fifty-fonrth

The hold-up took place about
5 o'clock this morning. The club
is located a few doors from
Broadway and is opposite the
Hotel Harding. The bandits ar
rived and escaped in a taxicab,
believed by the police to have been
driven by member Of their gang.
They got away only a few min

When Timponi answered a bell
he was faced by the bandits. AS
Timponi stepped back, the leader
of the gang, apparently believing
he was trying to escape, struck
him over the head with the butt
Of his revolver.
Two Of the bandits guarded the

to the clubs quarters on the third
floor.

More boys want to study music than

even the smallest of communities will

they win be capable organizations, too.
Never has there been such an indi-
cation of widespread interest in
band music. A school is as proud
when their band wins the state cham
pionship as they are when their foot
bah eleven cleans up on every other
aggregation in the section.
"The students are seeing music not
only as cultural pastime, but as the
possible key to a remunerative pro-
fession.
ut is time the tide was turning. A
year ago the average American spent
but 10 cents on band music, while
$1.50 was being spent on pianos, and
81 on talking machines. Those figures
are due for material changes, and it
will be the boys Of the land who will
change them"
