Auer Knew Many Celebrities.
Since the death of Prof. Auer, the
music editor has had called to her at
tention by Otto Torney Simon, a dis
tinguished washington musician, the
autobiography written by Prof Auer
and published in 1928. It is entitled
MY Long Life in Music" and is pro-
fusely illustrated with photographs
nearly all autographed-of great COM
names and traditions to the present gen.
Grafton. All of these people Leopold
Auer knew intimately and his book is
most interesting in the element of per-
sonal anecdotes that are invaluable.
The list includes Napoleon and his
Empress Eugene. the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, the composers Vieuxtemps,
Goldmark, Rossini, Berlioz, Brahms,
List, Tschaikowsky, Johann and Rich
stein, Glinka, Balakireff and Borodine,
the violinists, Joachim and Wieniawski,
Paderewski, Leopold and his sons Frank
and Walter Damrosch, Josef Hofmann
and many many others.
Perhaps no part of the book Is so
Accordingly interesting as that which,
in q chapter entitled Great Violin
Talents" the master teacher dis
cusses some of the more personal
problems of Mischa Elman, Efrem zim-
balist, Toscha Seidel Jascha Heifetz
Piastro and Poliakine. These problems
were concerned not 50 much with the
actual training OF those gifted boys, but
the arrangements necessary to secure
the right Of living In st. Petersburg for
their parents when they first brought
these boys to the conservatory. The
trouble was due to the limited number
Of Hebrew people allowed in that city.
Mr. Auer says:
1.-The years 1904 we're favorable for
the development of the great violin
talents who had come to ST. Petersburg
to study with me. First of all came
Efrem Zimbalist, who reached the con-
servatory in time for the entrance ex-
aminations in the Autumn of 1908, and

Prima Donna's Hobbies
Are Cocoons and Wine

p OSA RAISA, noted prima donna of
- the Chicago Civic Opera Co. and
her husband, Giacomo Rimini, baritone
with the same company, are reported
to be INDUCING In two leading hobbies
while on vacation at their home near
Verona, Italy. They are busy coaxing
silk from cocoons and making the real
Italian wines. In snapshot recently
sent to the opera cofnpany's headquar-
tiers Nine. Raisa Is shown operating q
portable bottling and corking plant for
their wine.
Both hobbies are, at least technically,
unfamiliar to this country at this time
One wonders If the silk is to be used
for some of Nine. Raisais costumes and
II the other hobby may ind fruition in
spaghetti parties to follow performances.
From some angles, at least, opera may
be far from dull and dry.

SOMETHING TO IT."

Governor elect Cross is quoted as attrlbuting the defeat of the re- mainder of the Democratic state ticket 10 the fact there was lack Of money to enable the candidates to speak in the rural districts.
 This sounds plausible. When pr, Cross headed for the rural districts and spoke to the population in their own vcrnacular 1t was claimed by Republicans that he was wasting his lime. The farmers. however, liked the sight of the Yale dean, felt compHmcntcd at his visit, and tend cd 10 agree with much that he told them. They were particularly i'm uressed with his statements regard ing Rorabackism. So that when the returns began coming in on eiection night it was found that the "coun- fry districts" did not go so heavily for the Republican gubcrnatorial candidate as they customarily do'
 Mir. Roraback thought pr, Cross was inexperienced in politics.

tion through distrust of the future and a desire for pompous prestige, One great nation has gone over en- tirely to a mode Of government with which the remainder of the civilized world is at variance.
 When one weighs the gains since the first armistice with the spiritual losses it is scarcely a question that the former arc in the majority. They at least weigh heavily at present in the conduct of nations; and only how they will weigh in the future leaves an opening for doubt.

COMMUNICATED
Not Forming Bible Class

Editor New Britain Herald:
 A misunderstanding. In your Sat- urday edition Nov. 8 your item, Charles J. Humphrey to form own Bible class is as far from the truth as the east is from the west. First l am not in authority and the idea never entered my head.
 The Laymen's association has been formed about four years Why should we form again? We do not call it Bible class The Sunday meet ing at the Y M. C. A. under the auspices of the Laymen's associa ton was as well attended as could be expected and the object of the meeting met with success. We Vot- cd to 20 to an institution in tho near future and bring sunshine into the dar', corners
 Tho writer is a busy man and has not the time to write these co H. munications every other day that he IS not forming Bible classes. as he is on the extension committee of F.. E. C. and he is true to his office. My dearest friends know that, but some are in favor of believing your item. hope this will not occur again.
 There were two mistakes, in tho name and the item. Our aim is high. it's crime 10 aim low.

NOW Is THE TIME TO CONSTRUCT THT, SCHOOL

At ta time when all civic, state and national authorities are ad'o- eating as much needed public works IS possible it is eminently necessary that cities practice what they preach; and that means old school buildings past useful and sat- isfactory service should be displaced bv new buildings.
 Naturally, this costs money; but all the improveme ents being adyo- cared cost money. There can be no em mployment for the unemployed without an expenditure of money.
 The plan 10 construct a new Northend school at Bassett and Ellis streets. therefore comes at time when it will contribute con- =idcrably 10 the local building ln- dustry and 10 general business con- Gitions. The steel industry is oper- ating at 45 per cent capacity, ali because the demand for steel in buildings and in other things utiliz- ing 1t has fallen off; the brick, stone and wood industries likewise are operating at diminished capa- city. It is necessary for all munich pahtIes needing improvements 10 drive hard 10 help improve business conditions. Especially is this ad- ysa ble in view Of depressed prices and the species Of bargain con- struction that can be secured.

TRI \k LINE CONTROL OF NEW INGIAND LINES

While the New England railroad committee is laboriously attempting 10 discover what IS 10 happen in re- gard 10 the future ownership ot the New England railroads the Pcnnsyl- vania railroad merrily continues 10 purchase stock in the New Haven and Boston G Maine. General ". W. Atterbury Of the Pennsy said the other day that his interests would not willingly yield any Of their holdings in the Ncw England lines.
 The ownership of such stock at present IS reported as follows: Ap- proximatciy s40.46S,9oo worth of par value New Haven voting stock is held by the Pennsylvania and the Pennroad corporation, This rcpe- sents 1864 per cent of the voting control including inc Boston and Maine stock held by inc pcnnsyI- vania and it's affiliated corporation the Pennsylvania interests have more than s5o.o0o.6oo invested in lho TWO major railroads Of New En9Iond.
 Since las; April the Pennsylvania interests have purchased s5oo.0oo additional worth Of par value stocks in the New England lines.
 The New Haven has a railroad monopoly in southern New England, and the Boston & Maine has monopoly in large sections Of north ern New England These regional monopolies do not please everyone fin New England But monopoly of this type owned by interests outside Of New England is even worse.
 The monopoly is not against the law, the New England lines being m extension and not competitive 10 the Pennsylvania; al least, it is desired to make Of them an extension, just as the New York Central has made an extension Of the Boston & AL bany. Indeed, the New York Central started his infiltration Of trunk line into New England and the Pennsylvania merely considers itself entitled 10 the same rights.
 But there are other trunk lines, and they. having made no attempts to enter into the New England field, look with disfavor upon develop ment that might mean placing them upon disadvantagc as regards sharing New England business.

DECREASED LAND NALIL Us RACE FARMERS

Farming has changed. And not the least of it's changes is that there is feeling among the nations farmers that there is now little chance of farm profits in the form of increased land values.
 It has been repeatedly stated that about the only profit the farmer made in this country prior 10 the war came from the rise in farm values. 4 man could always buy farm in the newer areas with the certainty that even though he and his family obtained but bare lif- ing for 10 or 20 years, in the end they would have satisfactory com- uetence by reason of the increase in land values. For this reason It was always considered safe to buy 2 farm on small down payment with the assumption of a heavy Eseu .houeh only small payments were made on the prin-

"OFE YEAR" ELECTIONS

The subject is no; new and once was lost in the Legislature. where it was held that 1h" off year" political show would serve. the purpose of vhctting the public in farest in matters political, even though there were no record break ing ,urnouts at the polls.

cipal, they would represent only a relatively small portion of the value of the farm 10 or 70 years later.
 Today there IS widespread be- lief, buttressed by facts, among farmers that there is little oppor- unity for this sort Of gain in the next decade or two, except in special cases and that farming must be placed on & business basis and show satisfactory annual returns on the capital and labor invested. Failure 10 show any such returns, or 10 provide returns comparable with those obtained in the cities, has been the impelling motive Of recent years which has sent several millions Of the farm population to cities
 This is al the bottom of the farm troubles. When the agricultural in- dustry discovered there were no profits in sight except what could be procured from the sale Of land production, and the prices for some ot the crops were below the cost or production. and farm lands instead Of advancing, as in the good old days. decreased in value from 20 10 50 per cent, the howls started. And there is no reasonable man who would claim that the hovls were not Justified.
 If. farming is 10 be placed on a business basis" with production returns to pay for costs Of produc- uon and yield the only profit farm- CTS are 10 receive, the unpopularity Of raising crops on this basis is sure to increase. Unless the farmers ob- tain vastly better prices than have been quoted recently the thing is simply impossible.
 T. is the duty of the administra- ton 10 do something about it. What has been done so far is trifling in comparison with the needs Of the times in the agricultural districts.
