A CApPELLo CHOIR
PLEASES AUDIENCE

About four hundred persons sat for
almost two hours last Friday night
listening to the finest concert ever
given on the Island. and showing by
their attention that vashon Island
jewellers have deep appreciation for
the finer things of life.
Many we're hearing for the first
time an entire concert by choir of
the nature OF the Broadway a Cappello
choir, and despite the fact that the
sacred music rendered, with the ex-
ception of one Of the encore numbers
was entirely unfamiliar to all even
the children enjoyed every number.
It was not only a great tribute to the
choir, but 1t was an even greater
tribute to the potential appreciation
of the audience.
The choir was brought here through
the personal enterprise of Mrs. Anna
v. Lesh, and it is to be hoped that if
Mrs. Lesh ever again undertakes such
venture 1t will be to give us another
musical treat of the same caliber as
this. her first local attempt.
To try to convey to our readers any
adequate idea of what those present
enjoyed, and which those not present
missed would be futile. 1t requires an
experienced music critic to describe
the beauty of tone; the perfection OF
training of the singers; the perfect
unison of the voices of the So members
of the choir. Suffice 1t to say that
not only the listeners with the musical
training that would give them ap-
probation, but even the smallest
listener present enjoyed the program
from first to last.
It was supposed that the singers Mr.
Lindblom was bringing was the pres
ent Broadway high school choir, but
it proved that those who came were
the group that had graduated ant
were still keeping up the training they
have been receiving since they were
students in high school.
Einar Lindblom is wonderful
director, and it is not surprising thai
his choir has been asked to appear il
1888 at the Chicago Worlds Fair. We
are glad that vashon Island music
lovers had the opportunity of hearing
them at home, rather than in 1888 a
Chicago.

AGAIN THE REPORT OF A JAIL.

Once more the daily papers have
dug up the Vashon Island jail as
target for their reportorial wit. We
wonder why they don't strike on some
newer phase of the subject than
Deputy Sheriff F. j. Shattuck no
longer will have to sit up nights tell
ing bedtime stories to prisoners for
lack of place to keep them" Is
landers who know Fin" know that it
would take lot to keep him up tell
ing bedtime stories even to his new
grandson. Not that he isn't on the
job sufficiently, but he just isn't the
bedtime story" type.
To return to the subject of our Is
land jail County Commissioner Brin-
ton is reported to have made the
statement that he Is negotiating with
Cleveland, Ohio, company to buy
from them sample jail of toolproof
steel now in Seattle. for use on the
Island.
The miniature jail was brought here
and assembled by representative of
the company during negotiations for
construction of the $4,000 King
county jail atop the County City
building contract for which went to
his company
Its demonstrative purposes served,
the little jail, knocked down, has lain
in South End warehouse for about
year. $4,000 is the original price
asked for the steel cage, about is feet
square, but the owners are now willing
to accept less, it is said, and the deal
may be made. The jail is equipped
with modern breakproof locks and can
hold several men.
The Island people have been hear
ing so many reports of this mythical
Jail during the past two and half
years that it no longer takes any Of
them seriously, but if by chance it
should materialize it would almost be
proof that there was a Santa Claus.
In accordance with the original
plan lot was to be purchased and n
jail, adequate to serve any necessary
purpose was to be built at very low
figure, by Deputy Shattuck, with the
help of TRUSTEE from the county jail
In giving the information on the sub
ject to the city papers our commits
sioner neglected to say where the jail
was to be placed after it was pur-
chased. Presumably it will be hung
up somewhere like any other cage.
The Shattuck fruit trees are quite old
and strong. 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that 1t can't be parked in the
Shattuck garage, for they use their
garage at night for their car. 1t
makes fascinating subject for con-
lecture anyway, but it will be futile
to waste too much grey matter in
thought on the subject, for when that
jail materializes it will be such shock
to everyone that no one will be able
to think.
And anyway, why n jailp We've
managed to struggle along without one
this long so why bother nowp 1t seems
pity to rob those Seattle dailies of
their perennial topic, "vashon Island

Good Time to Clean lin

NOVO l. AAkAS w NASSkAS W
With winter just around the cor
ner, this is q good time to clean up
the yard and get everything in shape
for next spring.
Every householder can find plenty
Of justification if he will look about
him, for q little care and attention
now may save considerable expense
at the end Of the winter.
The state agricultural college, how
ever, offers another reason which ap-
plies particularly to those who find
both pleasure and profit in garden
ing.
The experts point out that, by
cleaning up and burning the dead
vines and trash which have accumu-
lated during the summer. the gar
dener not only improves the appear
ance of his place but takes out an
insurance policy for future success.
Destructive insects often find har-
Dor for the winter in rubbish piles,
he points out, and to permit these
to exist Is merely to invite trouble
next spring. He also suggests fall
blowing as q good way to combat in
sects.
It Is not in the province Of the ag-
ricultural expert to suggest that this
also is one way of helping to combat
the unemployment problem, but it is
true, just the same.

Spyinr on the OYSTER

oFy AAso OAA VAHS OyStSA
Scientists, it seems, have no re-
spect for anyone or anything. If a
subject interests them they conccn-
trate on it until the problem gives up
in sheer despair and explains itself.
Recently, however, they have
tackled question which may keep
them busy for long time. The boys
with the shell-rimmed glasses want
to know what the oyster eats.
Now the oyster has been known
for thousands of years and nearly
everyone knows how to eat an oyster,
but no one has yet found out what
the mollusk itself feeds upon.
OF course the quest has a CONNER
cial as we'll as a scientific angle, for
the grim truth Is that the experts
are looking for q way to grow bigger
and better oysters. Their aim Is to
produce oysters as big as pancakes,
Of which only half dozen will be
required to provide a meal for a
family.
The oyster, Of course, merely pre-
pares himself for the slaughter by
growing big under the proposed sys-
tenn. However, 1t won't worry the
oyster. Think OF all the fun he'll
have growing big II the scientists find
out what to feed him.

1t was. according to historians,
about 1911 when night life began to
show signs of revolutionary change.
The fox trot had about as much
to do with this as any one thing.
Dancing has never been quite the
same since. All over the Rialto the
craze for dancing with dinner was
noted. Old Bustanoby's is credited
with being the first dance with your

Until this time, the good folk and
the bad folk had been content to sip
their champagne and sit behind
screens and palms. listening to the
orchestras and chattering with one
another.
Old-time Hoboken, with its color
full and gay beer gardens, had had a
sort of folk dancing and few con-
vivials had been noticed traipsing be-
tween tables. But the custom of
regulated dance programs with din

NEW
YORK
|!!,!!| Gilbert van

New York, Oct. 20.-Mons. Charles
e.. Shaw, who Is a professional noc-
turnal prowler for a couple Of the
smart New York publications, finds
Manhattan night life to be "gayer
than that Of London, less genuine
than Berlin and more amusing than
Paris"
Having roamed the globe trying to
figure out how various peoples ca
wort after midnight, Shaw has set
down some of his Gotham findings
in Might Life" a guide book which
visitors who intend to step out while
in town might find convenient.
At time when metropolitan folk
are still discussing the status of night
resorts in times of depression, it is
interesting to note predatory warn
ing in which this expert comedies that
by the time his tome reaches a read
er's hands the spots mentioned may
have changed names and manage
ments, may have an entirely differ
ent type Of entertainment and may
even be off the map.
Which is just about how uncertain
things are in the after-dark realms
these days.

Shaw sees the minimum check
supplanting the cover charge"
Il am convinced that the Irish
make the best walters" he states,
thus starting many arguments about
French and Italian service. Il think
that the hours between one and three
a. m. are the most exciting"
And do not be fooled by outside ap-
pearances of a night club. "The gay
est exteriors usually harbor the dull
est hangouts," Shaw reports.
There has never been a cafe bar
equal to the Forty-fourth Street
Sherry's. And the town holds no
equal to Jacks Oyster House. The
years of 1911 to 1915 hit New York
at its top stride. The next change
of night life will center around the
dance"
Thus the observations Of one OF
the most seasoned FOUNDERS.
X Y X
And, speaking of this, the dance
