ROUTINE

am q fool for trying to return Down all the lanes that lead to
 yesterday,
 tavern burn
 But you and all my clan are long
 away, And yet an urge I know not bids
 me go
 To force again an old, familiar
 door
 And watch times current in its
 ceaseless flow
 Though time has lost its meaning
 long before;
 raise my drink and shyly stand
 alone
 And search my heart for memories
 of you,
 Remembering the nights we made
 our own
 Remembering dreamy rendezvous When people turned their heads to
 watch you pass .,. And wine was on your lips and
 in my glass!
 DON wAHN. No Wonder! Ashton Stevens recently covered the opening of "The Spirit of Youth" in colored theater in Chicago. His view was blocked by an enormous hat worn by the woman seated in front of him. In response to polite re- quest to remove the chapeau, she / turned and merely glared.
 Thoroughly annoyed, Stevens complained to an usher, who was about to order her to remove her hat when he recognized her. Turn ing to Stevens he said: Sorry, Boss, 'Ah can't ask that lady to remove her hat-she's the colored Louella o. Parsons!"

mechanism exhaustively explained indicate whether or not 1t was a gambling device in the view of the law. +
 Atty. Guastaferri claimed that in-; asmuch as an element of human skill entered into it's successful manipulation, and no merchandise or money was discharged by the machine under any circumstances, it did not come under the heading of a slot machine. He limited the meaning of the term slot machine to device in which the player has no control over the score, and can't "beat" the machine.
 Prosecutor Michael Gafull o claimed, and was upheld by Judge Gaffney, that it could be called a slot machine, since it had slot for the insertion of coins, and since it could be used for gambling purL poses. Lieut.. Patrick Hobart and Patrolman Joseph Cavanaugh, who made the arrest, testified that they saw money changing hands as the result of the operation of the ma- chine on August 16, and Lieut.. Pat rick Moylan said there had been previous complaints against Ciar- lelli.
 In support of his view, the de- lending attorney cited the case of the State vs. Lewis w. Northrop. in which Judge Cornell ruled ma chine allegedly similar to the one in court this morning, was not a slot machine in the view of the law, because of the element of hu- man skill which entered into play. Judge Gafney, however, found Ciarlelli guilty as charged.
 A long debate ensued between the prosecutor and Atty. Carmine Cipriano, who was also appearing for the defense. The prosecutor wanted a court order for the con- demnation and destruction of the machine, and Cipriano strongly urged that this was an unequitable procedure, since it is only over a long period of time that such a costly machine can be made to pay itself, and this one was nearly brand new. Moreover, he said, a higher court might find Ciarlelli not guilty.
 It was at length decided that the machine should be adjudged a nuisance, and ordered destroyed but that this operation should be suspended, pending final settlement of the case in the court of common 1 pleas, or in the highest court tt which the case is taken. Meanwhile it is to be retained as State Exhibi No. 1.

Agriculture Orchestra
Repeats Program
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Last evening the Department Of
Agriculture Orchestra repeated the
program Of Monday night in the
department auditorium and drew
another large audience for this Sec
ond performance. The conductor
for the two concerts was Rowland
Roberts, assistant conductor of the
organization, who made his debut
in this field short time ago. His
musical feeling, sureness of beat
and authoritive control of the group
was again demonstrated last eve
ming.
However, in spite of the efforts of
the conductor, the performance
yesterday was not up to the previous
one where he first gave proof of his
ability as an orchestral leader. Not
only was there lack of sorority in
the full orchestral tone but also
little OF the spirit Of determination
which has brought this group for
ward in the last few years. The
reflection of the latter was felt in
the 1ntonation, which suffered at
many important points, and in the
technical imperfections that crept
in from time to time. Whatever the
cause, the playing Of the group was
below the standard which it has
maintained for some time.
| The program was difficult enough,
including Mozart's overture to "Es-
cape from the Harem," Bach's pre-
lude and Fugue in C sharp minor"
from the well Tempered Clavi-
chord" arranged for orchestra by
Mr.. Roberts; Beethoven's overture,
"Leonore No. g." the overture, noe
turne and scherzo from Mendels-
sohn's music for "a Midsummer
nights Dream" Scene" Dance
OF the Swans" and Hungarian
Dance" from Tschaikowsky's ballet
suite Swan Lake" Johann Strauss
(the youngeD Perpetual Motion"
and Chabrier's "Espana Rhapsody"
Chief interest centered around Mr..
Roberts arrangement of the Bach
number, which placed him also in
the ranks Of composers. 1t would
hardly be fair to judge the work
from the performance last evening,
for the musicians were not we'll re-
hearsed in the music and could do
little but read it off. With a fuller
and richer string section. more vol
ume would have been attained and
in the Fugue, which calls into plav
the entire orchestra, there would
nave been more pronounced
rhythmic pattern and interlacing of
theme. The writing itself is thin in
form, rather avoiding the sonoritv
which the majority of Bach tran
scribers seek to bring about through
the wide tonal resources of the
orchestra. The young composer
conductor and his men were en-
couraged in their efforts by the
unabating interest of those present
