IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 21.-Times and
styles change amusingly! Not so
| many years ago it was supposed to
be the mark of the European virtuoso
that he have long hair and beard
patterned after the second act of LA
Boheme." Paderewski's tossing name
was taken as a standard and, to this
day, cartoonists love to picture the
| esthetic young musicians with curls
all but dangling down their backs.
Yet the popular young modeyns of
the music world might easily be
mistaken for wcll-groomed bond
statesmen from Wall Street. OF six
have heard this winter but one
seemed to need hair cut, and I'm
inclined to think that the length Of
his crop really was the result of a
weeks delay in barbering.
Kochanski, one of the most popular
viOlinists of Manhattan just now, is
slender, wcll-barbered and easily
could get role in the movies if he
could pass a film test.
klemperer, dynamic German direc-
tor who now yields the baton for the
New York Symphony, while thick Of
hair, has no locks to fly in the wind,
ana IoScanini OF the Philharmonic
actually looks as though little hair
tonic would do no harm.
On the other hand long, siren
locks of pre-bob era now seem to
mark majority of feminine musicians.
few, of the more modern school,
have taken to the loose bob, though
none l have seen have dared the dan
gers of boyish bob. And those rep
eseneativcs of "solid music
almost to man, or rather ato q
women-cling to woman's crown
ing glory.
The music season, by the way,
reaches its peak in Manhattan just
at this season.
To glance beyond the doorways
OF Aeolian or Carnegie halls is to
behold chaos Of announcements
and a dizzy array Of notable
names. The real music-lover would
have to keep going day and night
and bob up in several places at the
same time to attend any appreciable
percentage of the concerts.

DR.. Atkins was waiting for them in
the foyer Of the big hospital build
ing. All his boyish briskness had left
him; he looked stricken, personally
grieyed. and curiously apologize. He
went straight to Faith. and she had
the odd impression that he would
have liked to put his head down on
her broad. motherly young shoulders
and cry, like hurt child.

pleading voice. WED taken every

"What I want to know is how she

as an outlet for his grief. "Who
spilled the beans-I mean, who went
and blabbed to her? I'll kill him"
I'm afraid you can't, Long," DR..
Atkins spoke with Borrowing respect,
not with impatience. 1T was wo-

stricken audience WINGED at his
words.

PEOPLES FORUM
HANGING STAGE PASSED
Egcland. North Dakota

ESciand, North Dakota.
Editor Tribune:
Permit ME to congratulate the in
tention to introduce. a law to allow
daily church schools. and q law to
prevent the teaching of evolution.
A birds-eye view of Skaters bill
for capital punishment by hanging,
with the present teaching of cvolu-
ton, is highly amusing.
With this teaching Of evolution in
our public schools, our courts are
helpless. Chances to escape convic-
ton are about five to. one. A law
permitting hanging would be like
carrying a rubber-band for a spare
tire. We have passed the hanging
stage. The fear Of man scares no one
today. "But the fear of God is the
beginning Of wisdom"
While defending Leopold and Loeb,
Clarence barrow used this argument:
"A sow had litter Of little pigs.
One night the old swine rolled over
and killed one Of the little pigs.
Now" said Attorney Darrow, "what
sense would it be to prosecute the
sow, and what more right have you
to prosecute the boys"
Destroy the belief. in God and rul-
ing authority is thrown in the gutter.
The American people are taxing
themselves to death.--first teaching
then convicting crooks. And they
persist in Il rather than look for help
from Him who really did create them.
Organized evil today is ten times
stronger than twenty years ago. Our
morals are down like the windmills
after . tornado. Let W through
teaching and preaching Of His Word
lift up again the standards that have
made America truly great.
Lat W press on in spite Of all
odds, in the. faith Of Him who said.
He that hateth his brother is a
murderer" and. "He that Is without
sin, let him cast the first stone"
Yours respectfully.
Knut Christensen.

rugged country, but in Minnesota no
particular difficulty was experienced
for the country is fairly level or
gently rolling. In the eastern half
Of North Dakota the broad flat plains
offered no handicaps, but in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana
some bad land" country is crossed.
In western Montana, northern idaho
and Washington some Of the noun
tain peaks raise the line more than
mile above sea level. West Of Mis-
soula the line passes through the
Occur DAlcnc range, as we'll as
through the generally mountainous
country between that range and
Seattle. 1t crosses the Columbia
river just east of Wenatchee, Wash
ington. About one-third of this new
line is in Montana, where it follows
the Yellowstone river for $50 miles.
Onc-fourth Of the line goes through
Minnesota and North Dakota.
Follows Lewis and Clarke Route
From Bismarck to the west coast
the northern transcontincntal line
follows very closely the route of the
Lewis and Clarke expedition Of 1913
years ago. 1t required about the
same length Of time to build the line
as it took Lewis and Clarke to cover
the route in 1804-O5.
10 make it possible to talk be-
tween the cities touched by this line,
telephone repeaters were installed at
intervals of about 200 miles. The
repeater is device in which the
vacuum tube is an essential part,
which picks up the travel weary voice
current and sends it on with renewed
strength. The vacuum tubes are
similar to those in radio sets.
The first transcontinental tclc-
phone line, reaching from Boston to
San Francisco, distance of 1850
miles. was opened for service on jan
uary Is, 1915. The opening CONVEX
sation over this line was held by
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
Of the telephone, at Boston, and
Thomas A. Watson. Bells assistant
in inventing the instrument, at the
Pacific coast end Of the line. The
very first telephone conversation in
history was held between these. two
men on March 10, 1876, at Boston,
when Bell said, "Mr. Watson, come
here; want you!"
