"lI1S is a story about musician
who hailed originally from the
romantic country of Bohemia,
L has made his home III Wash
ington for more than 40 years
and been a leader in many musical
endeavors that were successful in the
past. At present he is teaching violin
to many local young folks and is a
great factor in establishing the popu-
larity of the stringed instruments in
programs here, where piano and vocal
music is liable to dominate.
Mr.. kaspar came to America when
he was years old. His family set.
tied in Baltimore, where he studied
with the finest teachers-Gustave
Rose and Franz Bornschein. When
IS he returned to his native country
and studied four years under Anton
Benewitz, also teacher of Ottokar
Sevcik, in Prague Conservatory. He
then studied in Paris with Emil
Sauret, the great French violinist.
After returning to America he
joined the Peabody Symphony Orches-
ira, Oscar Hamerik, Danish conduc-
tor, directing, and it was with this
organization that Mr.. Kaspar made
his debut as a soloist. He cherishes
the memory of his acquaintance while
in that organization with the first
f1utist, Sidney Lanier. In 1881 Mr..
Kaspar married the famous singer,
Annie Roemer, and came to Wash.
ington as leader of the Ford Opera
House Orchestra. He also taught at
the Mount Vernon Seminary, where
his wife taught voice. He held this
position for 40 years, only resigning
a few years ago after a severe Illness.
In 1856 he organized the Wilhelmj
Club. a stringed orchestra of eight
first, eight second violins, four violas,
three cellos and two bass viols. They
gave three concerts annually and
studied only the finest works. After
Mr.. kaspar was appointed conductor
of the Georgetown Orchestra he
merged the best players in his club
into the orchestra, which he conduct
ed for Ia years. Ecrnestine Schumann-
Heink, Emma Juch and Max Helm.

on the far side of the earth from the moon?
 Irving to Desert Moon

on the far side of the earth from the moon?
 Trying to Desert Moon
 The earth and moon. revolving around their common center of gravity in approximately one month, are striving to fly apart, and to strike out in space on straight paths that would carry them away from each other They cannot really fly apart because gravitation holds them together. but nonethe- less they are constantly trying to fly off.
 Consider now only the earth's tendency. Continually the earth seeks to fly off in a straight line away from the moon. and continual ly the moon drags it back into the little orbit that has been described. But the water on the side of the earth away from the moon is 4,000 miles farther from the moon than is the center of the earth: and it is free to flow as the solid earth is not. Therefore this remote water is pulled back with a weaker force than the solid earth, and so takes a slightly greater orbit than the solid earth and bulges away from the moon.
 Perhaps this producing force on the side of the earth farthest from the moon can best be understood in terms of an automo- biles motion. If an automobile is travelling rapidly in a straight line along a street and suddenly turns a corner, occupants of the back seat will be thrown forcibly to the outer side of the car, away from the cen- ter of curvature. Packages will slide across the floor and pile up on the outer side of the car.
 Like Skidding Packages Both the automobile and its con- tents have the tendency to go on In straight line. When the steer ing wheel Is turned, the car--if it does not skid-responds to a force changing its direction, but the packages and passegers. being free to move about, respond to the changed direction less quickly. and pile up on the outer side. If the car is driven rapidly in small circle the movable objects and pas sengers are given a continual urge toward the outer side.
 Now. the earth Is being driven constantly in a small circle. so to speak, by the moon. That is, it's di- rection is continually changing from straight line to circle. The freely moving objects on this cir cularly travelling earth. Conse- quently, those nearer the outer side Of the curved path tend to pile up to form the tide on the side of the

earth away from the moon.
 Turns Under Tidal Forces

"Now. remembering that our imaginary earth and moon are re- volving in space. but not rotating, let us make one more change to bring the situation into accord with the actual facts. Start the earth to rotating on it's axis once in A hours. The tide producing forces toward and away from the moon, would continue to operate as before, tend ing to pull the water into bulges. But these bulges would no longer remain at the same two places on the earth's surface. The earth would turn under the forces. Thus any point on the earth well away from the poles, would be subjected to a tide producing force approxi- mately every half day. The period is slightly greater than half a day, because of the moons revolution around the earth.
 "HoN the tides actually operate. however, ho wthcir theoretical action is altered by the sun, by the shapes an dextents of ocean basins, and by changes in the distance be- tween earth and moon, make an other story"
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

 WHAT CAUSES TIDE
The Pull" Of the Moon Affecting
 Ocean Water

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 16.-Why Is tide?
 Half the answer is easy, points out bulletin from the Washington, D. c. headquarters of the National Geographic society. But most lay men find the other half hard to comprehen
 Tt is relatively easy to under stand why the moon should tend to pull tide into existence on the side of the earth directly under it." says the bulletin. But why at the same time should it appear to push up a tide on the far side of the earth?
 Whirling in a Circle
 'The usual explanation of the formation of the bulge on the far side is that just as the moon draws the water nearest 1t away from the solid part of the earth. so 1t draws the solid part Of the earth away from the water farthest from the moon. But the average layman is IlhtlS u ltIItl dI illlS tS l'lrtlldNiDlt, since he does not carry in his mind the implications of celestial me chanics that go with 1t.
 ''The explanation begins with the fact that the moon does not simply revolve in an orbit around the earth. It also throws the earth to revolving In little orbit.
 When you playtully grasp q small child by the hands and swing 1t around in circle you cannot stand erect and pivot on a single heel. Instead you must lean back ward and take tiny steps in 8 very small circle in order to maintain your balance.

 Earth Backs Of"
 ''The situation with regard to the earth and moon Is similar. The force which connects these two whirling globes Is just as real as though it depended on a huge steel shaft, several hundred miles in diameter. connecting them. When

the earth swings the moon around it. the earth must back of, so to speak, in little circle Cor ellipse) of its own.
 What happens is that both bodies revolve around their com mon center Of gravity. Since the earth has mass so much greater than that Of the moon this common center of gravity is not in space be- tween the two globes, but lies in side the earth. along a line con- meeting the earth and moon centers. It is as though you had a freakish dumbbell made up of a heavy ten pin ball fixed to one end of the con- meeting shaft. and a small boys marble fixed to the other. The bal ancing point would lie inside the big ball. You could find it Cor the surface point above iD, drive in a tack, and hang the balanced balls up by a string. Now. if you twisted the string the little ball would re. volve about the line of the string in a large circle, and at the same time the outer side Of the'big ball would reVolve around the same line in a small circle.
 Tn the case Of the earth and moon, the balancing point or com- mon center of gravity is about 1,0o0 miles below the surface Of the earth, and about 5000 miles short of the earth's center.
 If There Were No Moon
 Now imagine, for a moment, that the earth were somehow fixed in space, neither rotating nor revolving, with no moon in the heavens, and with no other forces acting on it but it's own gravity. It's water sur faces would tend to form parts of a perfect sphere. no bulges. Now imagine the moon to be placed 239,000 miles away (its present average distance) and also in some way to be fixed in space; no motion to either earth or moon. Further. assume that moon and earth attract each other as they now do. The waters Of the earth would bulge up on the side nearest the moon be- cause the moon would pull them to certain extent away from the rocky part of the (hxed) earth. But there would be no bulge on the far side of the earth.
 Now imagine the earth and moon to start revolving around their common center of gravity once every 27 Is days. as at present, but not rotating on their axes. Two fixed bulges would now exist, the one toward the moon would grow less than when the earth was mo- tionless, but would still be held up by the moons pull.
 But why would the bulge arise
