Crooks Solves Problem.

II 1CHARD CROOKS, the distin-
guished American tenor, seems
to have solved the.perennial problem
Of what to do about late audiences,
Last year, during his Australian tour,
Mr.. Crooks was singing In Sidney.
When he appeared on the stage the
audience was still milling In the aisles.
Noticing the embarrassment of the
late-comers, Mr.. Crooks stepped to
the front Of the stage, motioned for
silence, and said smilingly, Take your
time. Get seated comfortably. I
have no other engagement tonight,
and I'm In no hurry at ALL" It
worked like q charm. The confusion
ended and every one was seated In q
moment.

During the Summer the bands come
into their own in a particular manner,
and sustaining, in this lax period, the
musical interest of the people which,
like many other interests, must be
constantly fostered to be kept alive.
In the pride Of accomplishment, it
is easy to forget that the first impulse
toward music appreciation, especially
by the masses, is TO be traced to the
bands. They have become an integral
part Of American life, and can almost
be spoken OF as indigenous to 1t for.
whereas other countries have had
their symphony orchestras from time
immemorial, Americas first great
endeavor in ensemble organization
was the formation OF bands. What
ever the celebration staged, band had
to be included in the planning. and the
spirit and success Of the affair was
due to the exhilaration Of the band's S
performance.
The standard Of band performances
has developed steadily until, today, the
bands OF the three divisions of the
National service, the Navy, Army and
Marine, stand at the top Of the list
of their own type OF music and rank
with outstanding orchestras in char
acter OF presentation.
identified with martial under
takings, their influence can be found
in all the great events OF history
making character. Every community
had its band and 1t furnished the
musical entertainment In the same
manner that opera houses did in
Europe. In the early and simpler
days Saturday night concerts were
regular affair. and succeeding
Fourth Of July celebrations and
political rallies went down in history
to the inspiring strains of the local
bands. The fondest memories OF
many OF our famous men were their
performances as members of some
small band. President Harding, for
instance, was very proud Of the fact
that he had played a cornet in the
local band
For all the touching ceremonies
the people, it is the band and not the
symphony orchestra which presides
The soldier begins his career thrilling
to the martial strains Of the band
and he is laid to rest with the tenderly
mournful notes Of Taps winging him
to his final victory. The most i'm
portant decisions of national life re-
ceive their solidification through the
inspiration of the bands music, and
success and defeat are equally SYM
bolNed in the playing Of the brass
instruments. 1t is not too much tc
say that the national spirit has been
held together, cemented in strong
unity by the surge of feeling aroused
by band music.
NEARLY every one has experienced
and cherished the thrill that has
been awakened at some time by q
band Yet band music has been
neglected by the majority of COM
posers and decidedly neglected in the
rank it occupies in public apprecia-
ton. Even among its devotees the
full extent of its artistic possibilities
has not been recognized. The tonaI
color Of the band instruments is
capable OF infinite variety Of effects
some Of them more expressive than
it is possible to achieve with strings

M. G. have a desire to live a Chris
tian life and want to be happy. Tell
me If this desire will be fulfilled
and will | marry the man / love?
Ans: Nothing will stand in your way
of living the kind of life that you
desire. The CHURCH will mean a
lot to you as you grow older. The
man that you care for does love
you and is just as eager to make a
two-some Of the affair as you are.
C. L. r. Does my mothers foster
sister mean her any good? | am un-
decided about the matter.
Ans: The woman doesn't mean your
mother any harm. Lit is quite true
that they don't have very much in
common and do not seek one
another's company but they are
friends. Don't continue to worry
about their relations.
R. G. o. The man / love stays out
all the time yet he tells me he loves
me. I want to know if it is true.
Ans: He couldn't care very much
for you and stay away all the time.
No-he doesn't love anyone. He is
very selfish and wants only to please
-.
himself, therefore he is going TO
live as he is now and enjoy life
alone.

daddy this year? am so anxious to
see him.
Ans: If you bear ali the EXPENSES
then it will be possible for you 10
make this trip. Otherwise ! am
afraid you won't go. Your husband
isn't going to help you out. He is
determined to carry on just as he
