Mothers Inquiry

A mother asks Should get
my boy a three-quarter violin or
good full-size Instrument" The
boy in question proved to be Of q
size with large enough hands and
arms that he could use a full.
size instrument, but the smaller
instrument would still be suitable
for a year or more.
The question implies that If a
smaller instrument were obtained,
1t would be of an inferior quality
on account Of the financial out.
lay Then again, there was a hes
itancy to buy a quality full-size
instrument until the boy had
proven his interest ability.
If you feel you must start the
boy on a cheap instrument, it
would be advisable to purchase
the smaller violin, as the rapidly
growing youth will require anoth-
er instrument in a year or two,
when he will be more likely to
receive a quality instrument.

Ella Blonde Robs Argentine,
Police Complaint Indicates

"Yo encontre a una blonde y ella

It sounded like tragedy in any Lam
guage, especially when the police be-
gan to savvy that blonde y ella me

The Argentine sailor repeated his
story. He amplified it with gesticula-
tions-grief, anxiety, indignation were
at once apparent.
The desk sergeant ut No. 5 police
station scratched his head 1t was 2
o'clock this morning and the stations
personnel, limited at best, did not in
clude any foreigners except an Irish
man or so.

Hes been robbed by a blonde
named Ella" ventured another police
man, anxious to be helpful.
When Lieut.. Lloyd E. Kelley ap-
peared he was unable to assist the desk
sergeant. Say" said some one, John
Srola of No. can speak Italian like
that!"
So Policeman Sirola was summoned
in all haste. But the Italian linguist
was unable to converse with the Ar
gentine. HE speaks Spanish or some
thing" Sirola decided.
Meanwhile, the sailor. despairing Of
the spoken word, sought to illustrate
mis- story with pictures.
