Sing Tonight At
Central Union

Local people who attended the
concert given last night in Yuma
by the Yuma choral club maintain
that the affair was an unqualified
success.
Under the direction of John Gan
ton the club sang well and their
several numbers were received with
the most cordial applause. Miss
nellie Gothold, who was soloist, and
who will sing here tonight with the
Imperial singers, was utterly de
lightful, according to those who
heard her last night. Not only is
she the possessor of a beautiful
voice, well trained and guided by
musician s mind. but she is lovely
to look upon. as well, and her gra-
cious personality lent much to the
occasion.
After the concert the Yuma peo-
pie held an informal reception for
Miss Gothold and Mr. and Mrs. Gan
ton.
The concert tonight in which the
Imperial Singers male chorus will
make its first public appearance is
looked forward to with eagerncss by
FL Centre music lovers and friends
of the organization. This pioneer
ing enterprise fills long felt want
in the community, according to the
statement of many influential pco-
pie and deserves the patronage of
all those who like the good things of
life for their town.
Tonight s program will be given
at $50 in the Central Union High
school auditorium.

The Seven Seas

~The seven seas" Is a f1gurative
phrase denoting all the seas or oceans
Of the world The common explana-
don is that the seven seas are the
Arctic, Antarctic, North and South
Pacific, North and South Atlantic and
Indian oceans.
But this explanation is purely imag-
mary and superficial. TIE term was
part OF the vernacular Of many ma
lions long before some of these oceans
were known TO the civilized world.
The seven seas are referred to In
the literature of the early Hindus,
Persians, Romans and Hebrews. To
the Persians the seven seas were the
streams forming the Oxus river, and
the Hindus applied the name to
bodies OF water In the Punjab. Near
Venice in Italy were q number OF
large salt water lagoons which the
Romans called "septem maria," which
is Latin for seven seas.
The phrase "the seven seas" was
popularIzed In modern times by Rud-
yard Kipling, who used 1t as the
title of a volume Of poems published
In 1So6.-Exchange.

No Possibility That
Home Will Disappear

A certain professor In Great Britain
prophesies that fifty years from now
there will be no more homes, but
everyone will live in hotels and eat
In restaurants. The professor makes
no allowance for human nature,
writer in the Montreal Family Herald
comments. 1t is love that requires a
home and makes it. Love is enduring,
and so homes are enduring. There
were homes in the old savage days
when a hundred or more lived In
Q long wigwam or in series of cliff
dwellings not unlike our modern
hotels. There will be homes even IL
the changes of custom send us back to
cliff dwellings-with modern improve
ments. Where mother and father and
sisters and brothers are, there is home,
whatever its shifting style. In appre-
ciating our homes and enriching them,
we are devoting ourselves to one Of
the most permanent of earthly institu-
tons.

The Body Corporate

The use of the spoken word to con-
vey ideas distinguishes man from all
other created things. 1t Is the func-
ton of the engineer to provide for the
extension of the spoken word by
means of electrical systems Of inter-
communication which will serve to
connect the nervous system Of each
unit Of society with all of the others,
thus providing an indispensable ele-
