Hope for Concert Field.

OPTIMISM for the musical future of
~ America, especially in the concert
field, Is expressed in the report of Har-
old Vincent Milligan, executive direc-
tor of the National Musical League.
New life has come into the concert
business" reads the report, owing to
the necessity Of organizing this business
as it should be organized, cutting out
the waste. We can thank the radio and
the movies for this new stimulus. These
developments in our community life
furnish healthy competition to the
concert field. They are the means Of
familiarizing the public with music as
it has never before known good music.
1t is an acknowledged fact that the
more that is known about music, the
greater the demand for 1t. And lastly.
this competition forces concert mana
gers to present music to the public
with as little economic waste as pos
sible"
Figures in the current report show
that the National Music League which
conducts an up-to-date booking depart
ment along business lines, has pro-
greSsively increased its business during
the year ending in April, 1929, over the
previous year. The figures shown for
recent months, based on both the num-
Der of engagements and the monetary
value, are as follows: February. 1929,
totaled As per cent increase over Febru-
airy. 1928; March, 1929, totaled 102 per
cent increase over March, 1928: April.
1929. totaled 800 per cent increase over
April, 1928
The National Music League. a non
profit-making organization, sponsors
and presents to the American public
musical artists of distinguished ability
who have passed severe qualifying tests
In additions in which the judges are
renowned musicians and educators.
Many of these artists are concert and
operate performers of highest rank.
Prominent music patrons lend their
support to the league, so that it be-
comes, in efect, an endowed institution,

and appreciation throughout the coun-
try.

 There are two sorts of long eye, lashes. those that turn up and those that dr0op downward. The first sort have the charm that comes from that delicious curl that lends plquancy to the eye, while the others add as much to the eye by shading 1t and making 1t seem darker, more mysterious and more luminous.
 So whichever sort of long lashes you have you may be satisfied from the point of view of beauty. How ever. 1t is said that those that turn up betuken good health, while those that druop are more often possessed by persons of delicate health, and In. dicate melancholy.

opinions on whether the poles

replacement of the worn poles with
conduits which would cause the
property owner to bear portion of
the cost of reconstruction. The let

Mellon hopes to see another sub

before he quits the Treasury.
He anticipates the introduction of

The spectre OF heavy apprOpria-

gressI for farm relief, and future ex-
penditures for the naval program,
however, loom large as a threat
against tax cutting.
Building Program
Mellon also is taking keen
personal interest in the Govern

to see it farther advanced before
he gets out of office.
While well satisfied with the
present Treasury organization the
Secretary believes that there are
imperfections in operation suscep-

holding that no financial system of

of constructive changes.
