bitions in very different ways, but two
forms are crystallizing clearly out Of
the mother liquor. The revolutionary
FORM as seen in Stravinsky, is char
acterized by a sudden and complete
breaking with the music of yesterday,
yet full of dazzling innovations and
initiative, and the epitomizing or sum-
marizing form makes use of all useful
and not too bombastic elements found
in the romantic school.
Whether the revolutionary or the
epitomizing school will best defy time
is question which history will solve.'
Bartok said he personally favors the
latter manner

Of past ages. They do so either by
bringing forth music reminiscent of old
folk or peasant melodies, like Stra-
whisky in his so-called first Russian
period or de Falla and the Hun
garians.
"Otherwise they seek modification
by means Of the musical art of the
17th and 18th centuries, as seen in the
last compositions Of Stravinsky or as
one sees in the case of the disciples
of neo- o-classicisn.
1.-THE movement is only justified if
along with the revival of old musical
elements, forms and expressions, new
musical art is created which actually
does not resemble the old in style.
And this has fortunately been the
case with its most important protago-
nists."

renaissance"

for he, as young man, has succeeded
his father, the late w. O.. Coleman, as
president Of the American Flyer COM
pany, one of the largest manufacturers
of toy trains. The father started the
business back in 1907, finding much
labor and little success in catering to
Americas would-be railroad men. But
when the World war shut off Kris
Kringles tine-honored source of play
things, Germany, American youth de-
manded American toys. The demand
grew until it was possible to apply
modern manufacturing m e t h o Is to
metal toys which not only, resembled
ir1 appearance and operation the trains
and automobiles and other vehicles of
everyday grown-up life, but were al
most their equal in longevity.
''The same application of labor-sav-
ing machinery is carried out in the
production OF other toys in the United
States" Mr. Coleman concluded. "The
automobiles, scooters, trains, mechani-
cal and educational toys now so fa-
miliar to the American child are made
by production methods similar to those
used in making real automobiles,
vacuum cleaners and other necessities
of modern life"

Arl2onaS growing popularity as a
tourist center undoubtedly has become
an important factor in the ate's de-
velopment as the tourist business has
become ''cash crop" affecting all citi-
zens of the state indirectly. Tourist
travel both to Arizona and through
Arizona has been very good his year,

extent for unprecedented activity in
hotel construction. At present new
seven-story hotel is nearing compile

is completing plans for finishing and
opening its new $5OO,000 tourist hotel;
Flagstaff and Prescott have each fin

of new winter guest ranches and sum-

state.
Indeed, one of 1925 features in Ari-

to the state, the industrial congress

for the past, several smonths urging
not only that Arizona building mate

that Arizona contractors and supply

In the direction of the new devel-

resS on the new land projects which
promise to double the states irrigated
area within the next five years, and
thereby create room for some 10000
new families on Arizona farms. One
of these new projects is practically
completed - the 39,000-acre Beardsley
district northwest of Phoenix, irrigated
from the Lake Pleasant dam and rep

than $3,250,OGO. South of this project
development has been started on the
Roosevelt irrigation district of $4,000

GARAGE AND AUTOMOBILES
DESTROYED BY FIRE

The large garage, just west OF
town, belonging to John Horace
Hawley, was discovered to be on fire
about 3:15 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, and was totally destroyed, to-
gether with contents, including
seventeen automobiles. The origin
of the fire is not known.
The Community Fire Co. respond
ed with both engines, but the struc-
ture was doomed before the firemen
reached the scene, as the entire
interior was ablaze before discovery
was made. The fire was spec
tacular one, the flames leaping high
in the air, the reflection showing for
miles, and attracting crowd OF
people to the scene.
The firemen. pumping from the
small stream several hundred yards
distant, played streams on small
restaurant building on the west side
Of the garage, and small building
used as a barber shop, on the east,
and saved these structures, but it
was not possible to save anything in
the garage.
A number of the machines in the
burned structure belonged to parties
other than the proprietor.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
with an insurance of $4,000. We
are informed there was insurance on
but one Of the seventeen cars
burned.

BRIDGE MANDANIUS
PETITION DENIED

The petition for writ of man.
damus requiring the State Roads
Commission to preserve the present
bridge over the Susquehanna river
at Conowingo was dismissed Friday
by Judge Albert S. j. Owens follow
ing a two-day hearing in the City
Court of Baltimore.
The removal Of the present bridge
to site several miles down the river
is contained in an agreement COM
pleted between the Philadelphia Elec-
tric Company and the Susquehanna
Power Company, developers Of the
Conowingo power project. The State
Roads Commission authorized the
removal of the span to the crest of
the power dam now in process of
completion.
The petition for the writ was filed
BY the Conowingo Bridge Protective
Association, group of residents OF
both Cecil and Hartford counties,
which is seeking to have the present
bridge maintained. An answer was
fled by the commission and when
he Association demurred to it the
hearing was held.
The Association maintained that
he removal of the present bridge
would be violation of the express
mandate of an act of the Legis-
ature of 1910. The act, it is al
eyed, had in full contemplation the
conditions which would result from
he elevation of the dam, authorized
oy Chapter 268 of the Acts of 1908.
Counsel for the Association point
ed out that the Legislature had
ordered that the bridge be procured
rom the persons who then owned it
Ind that when it had been procured
hat it be maintained.

NEW POST OFFICE
Rising Sun Now Has Model
Offce \

The new building erected on
Cherry street, in this town, by the
Community Fire Company, and
leased by the United States Govern
ment for ten-year period as a
post Office for Rising Sun, was
thrown open for business on Satur-
day, the first day of the new year,
and is in marked contrast to the
cpamped and dingy quarters, with its
antiquated equipment, occupied for
years past as a post Office.
The new building is of concrete
block construction, 24x40 feet in
dimensions. The numerous windows
with large plate glass window in
front, make light and cheerful work
ing conditions for the Office force,
while the modern equipment, which
is patterned after the model post
office maintained by the Government
at the Philadelphia Sesqui-Centen-
nial, affords every facility for the
expeditions handling of mail.
In the public lobby, which is
10x18 feet in dimensions, are 205
combination lock boxes of three
sizes, money order, stamp, parcel
post and general delivery windows,
the rest of the space in the building
being given over to the Office force,
where stamping table and pouch
rack, distributing tables and racks
for rural carriers, parcel post racks,
ETC., etc., lend every convenience to
the proper handling of the mail.
All furnishings are in golden oak,
and the room is brilliantly lighted
with eight one hundred candle
power electric dome lights. !.
The building cost $4,000, and the
$4,000, giving Rising Sun
a post Office of which its citizens may
well feel proud, as there is no Office
in the State that is more modernly
or more up to the minute
than the one in our town.
Contractor w. Louis and his
force deserve much credit for the
manner in which work was pushed
on the building, as, despite unfavor-
able weather conditions, delay in re-
ceiving portions of the material, and
other handicaps, it was just sixty
six days from the time ground was
broken until the building was oc-
cupied and open for business.
