The appropriateness of the music
which Gounod has written has
made for its great success. The gay,
simple folk melodies which the peas
ants sing and dance to. the jeer-
ing arias given to Mephistopheles,
the charming Jewel Song" of Mar

duets and ensemble numbers are
the result of great inspiration
and keen dramatic sense which
knew how to embellish the high
points of the story with the most
expressive music.
Appeal to Composers.
The story OF Faust has appealed
to many of the great composers.

great admirer of Mozart. felt that

the first and in making an opera
of it he rose to the greatest musical
heights he was ever to know. The
great literary work contained too
much material for an opera so that
the chief characters and the roman
tic interest were all that could be
selected. In the record of the orig
iral DR.. Faust there is no mention
OF a woman, the Gretchen OF
Goethe's masterpiece being an idea
of his own from which the ibret-
lists drew the picture of Marguerite
for the opera
Gounod's skill in writing music
that would keep the contrasts of
the principal characters of the opera
sharply outlined is the work of
genius. The sardonic Mephistopheles
dominates the work, arriving on the
scene just at the psychological mo-
ment when Faust, tired of his erudi-
ton, was bemoaning his lost youth.
The picture of the pure and gentle
Marguerite which Mephistopheles
conjures up banishes any misgiv-
ingS that Faust may have and he
gladly sells his soul for the promise
of youth that is offered him.
The Establishments of Mephis-
topheleS are now insinuating and
now terrifying. only once suppressed

soldiers. led by Marguerites brother,
Valentin, lift the cross formed hits
of their swords against him who
dare not face the sacred symbol.
The allegory of the garden scene
is powerful when. in this chaste re-
treat. the devil enters with his temp
tations of young love and matchless
jewels. Again in the church, where
Marguerite prays for forgiveness of
her sin, the apparition Of the devil
tarnts her to desperation.
Noble Character of Brother.
The character of her brother,
Valentin. is noble one even when,
dying from his combat with Meph-
istopheles, he curses his sister
for her weakness. Through all the
dramatic developments of the story
the person of Faust is one of the
highest attraction. The struggle be-
tween his love for the simple maiden
and his compact with the devil goes
on continuously until the final pay
ment is exacted. The triumph of
good over evil is dramatically ex-
pressed when the voices of angels,
bearing the soul of Marguerite, dead

By ALICE EVERSMAN.


How many people have yearned in
their secret souls. as advancing
years took toll of energy and en-
thusiasm, for some magic potion to
return them to the beautiful days Of
youth. Even a pact with the devil
such as forms the nucleus of the
story of Gounod's opera "Faust"
would not seem to many too great
a price to pay to experience again
the blessed Joy of carefree living, a
first romance, or the eagerness to
enter the battle of life which makes
that period of mans existence so
rose -colored and so dear. The
story which Gounod has used for
his opera holds deathless appeal,
for it touches the unexpressed wish
of every one. admitted or not, who
knows that youth and all its gay
audacity has passed forever,
The original character of Faust
from which so many legends have
sprung, was a historical parsonage.
He lived in the Middle Ages and
gained an unsavory reputation by
his practice of magic, so much so
that romances. theatrical dramas
and musical plays have been written
around him in every form that the
imagination of the writer could con-
ceive. He roamed through Germany
accompanied by a trained horse and
dog and with their help performed
such magic tricks as to terrorize all
with whom he came in contact.
What would be dismissed as mere
charlatanism in these days grew in
importance with each telling.
Deep and Lasting Impression.
BY whatever means. the DIR.
Faustus" of the 18th century made
deep and lasting impression not
only during his lifetime but for
many centuries later. No less a
person that the great Luther, whose
own personal strife with the devil is
proven by the ink spot left on the
castle wall in Eisenach. had to COM
bat, with Gods help" the spell OF
the necromancer. In fact Faust and
all that he stood for were directly
responsible for the ecclesiastical up
heaval that wrought such great
changes in the Christian world. The
original Faust, for all his striving
for fame, never dreamed he would
cause the betterment of religious
! conditions and be the inspiration for
magnificent dramatic and musical
works
1t remained for two great men
of somewhat similar character to
give him real Immortality. Goethe
and Gounod we're alike in the fact
that in early youth they both desired
to enter holy orders. Abandoning
this idea, they lived worldly life
in which their religious and pleas
ure-loving natures were constantly
at war. In Gounod, the battle was
of minor Importance. but for Goethe
it existed until his dying day. His
long drama of Faust is in many
respects an autobiograph ply and that
| he felt it be so is shown by the
secrecy with which he guarded his
work and the fact that although
begun in his early 20s he could not
bring himself to finish it until few
days before his death.
Love for Literature.
The short study for the priest
hood which Gounod made left him
with love for literature. Goethe's
poetic drama appealed to him from

Skiers Flock To New Germany

Over 200 skiers zig-zagged, slid and
tumbled down the open slope at the
New Germany recreation area on
Sunday as several hundred more took
advantage of the bright Sunday after
noon and went to watch.
The cars came thick and fast dur
ing the afternoon resulting in a
serious traffic problem, even the snow
pillow getting jammed in line for a
time. Motorists who ventured over
the snow packed road without chaines
caused the trouble, it was said The
road itself was well ploughed and
motorists with chains had little or no
trouble, except what was caused by
drivers of chainless cars.
Good, bad, and Indifferent skiers
were out Sunday, the beginners far
outnumbering the experts. Almost
half were "toe strappers"; that is,
they lacked the proper harness, bind
ings and shoes to give them the ne
cessary control over their skies. They
just pushed work shoes or galoshes
under leather toe straps, pointed their
skies downhill and let them run.
Several expert skiers were on hand
from Washington and Baltimore,
flashing their technique and graceful
turns for the benefit of envious on
lockers.

Fishing To Be Permitted In Two
County Game Refugees ze.

Two exceptions are to be made in
regard to fishing in the five game
refugees in Garrett county recently es-
tablished by the State Game and In
land Fish Commission in cooperation
with the State Forestry Department.
The sanctuaries were:
1. Wolfe's Swamp area, two miles
northeast of New Germany.
2. Pine Swamp Run area, on road
from Homecoming to Savage River.
3. High Rock Fire Tower area,
about seven miles north of Savage
river dam.
4. Bear Creek area, adjoining fish
nursery, near Accident.
5. Potomac State forest, about 7
miles south of Altamont.
The original regulation forbidding
any person to hunt or fish on any of
the above areas has been amended by
E. Lee LeCompt, state game warden,
and F. w. Besley, state forester, at
the request of Commissioner Fulcher
P. Smith, of the game commission, to
permit fishing for trout only from
April 1 to June 80 in the VOLTS
Swamp area and the Bear Greek area
Other sanctuaries, however, are to be
closed.

Purchasing An Electric Iron

Purchasing An Electric Iron
The family in whose home there is
electricity can hardly do without an
electric iron because of its convven-
fence in saving time and labor, and
the comfort it affords. The one thing
the family cannot afford is cheap
iron. The cheap iron really proves
to be expensive in performance and
in length of time used.
Authorities give US the following
iron purchasing pointers:
a. Smooth bottom which heats
evenly over entire surface. Set heated
iron on white paper to make test.
Slide different irons over smooth sur
face to see difference in their ability
to slide.
b. Weight for general work about
4 or Az pounds. Weight for light
ironing about 8 or 31a pounds.
Weight for heavy work about or
6 pounds.
C. An iron for light or general
work should use 1000 watts. For a
five or six pound iron generally 600
watts are used. The 1000 watt irons
are automotic and burn not more than
rs percent of the time; therefore, use
no more electricity per hour.
d. Thermostat for heat control.
Keeps the iron from overheating.
e. Automatic heat control, allow
ing heat TO be adjusted according to
kinds of material working on. Very
