Band of Madrid. founded by the
municipality in 1909, has ae-
CURED a reputation beyond the
boundaries of Madrid, where it
is virtually alone among the
city's institutions to be loved by
the citizens
Recently it was invited to give
concerts in Portugal, and was SO
successful that it has received
other requests from abroad,
among them from as far away
as Buenos Aires.
The band, of SS pieces, has
been conducted by Professor Ri
cardo Villa. 1t has given more
than 1000 concerts in the var
ious parks of Madrid, and the
sight of the uniforms of the play
ers always attracts large crowds.
The musicians are carefully chos-
en- in competitive examinations
and receive salaries ranging from
5000 to 5000 pesetas annually.

"It may be out of place but |
wonder If this suggestion might

might say lack of cohesion. Bos

fic, not with any neighborhing city

Philadelphia likewise carried on
business. not with its neighborlng
town or state but in England. The
center of trade relations, like
Alaska, was yonder. There was
a lack of natural sentiment. For
instance Fairbanks carries ON very
little business with Anchorage. !.
Anchorage does little business
with Seward; Seward does very
little business with any town or
community near. and so on in tn =
