NEW YORK Rt-Another bumper
crop is in the making. By surface
ship and airliner the United States
is sending a record 100000 of its
citizens off to see other parts of
the world.
They will leave from 800 million
to one billion Yankee dollars
abroad. Steamship lines and trans
atlantic air carriers report they
are booked solid eastbound into
August, with heavy bookings west
bound into October.
A new type of American tourist
is on the march this year. He is
the quickie, economy minded
tourist taking advantage of J.
week paid vacation to fly coach
service to Europe.
Airlines also report there is a
marked tendency towards travel
ing in small groups - families,
teachers, students, more white col
lar workers than ever before. For
more than two thirds it's their
first flight over the ocean. Ameri-
cans in their 40s are the largest
age group.
The U. S. Office of international
Trade reports that last year just
under 100000 Americans went
abroad for a new record. This year
the office predicts $50 900 tourists
will set a new mark. II does not
include trips to Canada, Mexico
and the U. S. possessions in its
travel estimate.
The government officials think
three things cause the great travel
rush: /. Americans have larger
savings on which TO draw. 2 More
of them are getting paid vacations.
3 Lower transportation rates are
bringing European travel within
the reach Of a new class OF tour
lists.

Dr. Ida PETERS Dies Monday
WeHKnown in MiddlefeH

MIDDLEFIELD - DR.. Ida
PETERS, aged 80, one of Middle
fields most loved and most
highly respected, women, died
Monday about 2 am, August IL,
at her home on Main ST., Middle
field. She died as the result of
a heart ailment.
Her body was taken to the
Laraway funeral home, where
services were held Wednesday
at 2 pm. Rev. Albert Wolsten-
croft, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church of which she was a
member, officiated. Burial was
in Middlefield cemetery.
Ida Belle PETERS, daughter of
Steven and Emma Kent, was
born in Flint, Mich, October 10,
1861. At the age of ten she
came with her parents to live in
Middlefield, and this has been
her home ever since.
She said she used to shock
her parents, who were very
quiet and sedate, because she
was such a tom boy. But, while
she was lively and full of mis-
chief, she never enjoyed hurting
anyone. In fact, she said she was
always wanting to doctor some
one who was sick and used tC
make herb concoctions for sick
neighbors. Her mother used to
warn them, telling them that
Ida might poison them, but she
never did.
It was not until after the
death of her little daughter that
she decided to be a doctor.
It was in 1893 that she grad
uated from the Homeopathic
Medical College in Cleveland

which was then connected with
Huron Road hospital. In spite
of the men students, who re-
sented women entering the med
ical field, one of her hardest
critics tried to induce her to re-
main an dtake up surgery and
work with him. 1t was a tempt
ing proposition, but she was an
only child and her parents were
aging, so she decided to return
to Middlefield and start her
practice.
That was back in the horse
and-buggy days and she might
be seen any hour of the day or
night, driving either Topsy or
Daisy, the two faithful horses
whom she alternated, carrying
her through heat and cold, rain,
snow or sunshine to the bed

ing. Rich and poor were inn
partially treated and, as one pa
tient put it, her wonderful per-
sonality did him as much good
as her pills and potions.
During her 40 years of prac-
tice she delivered about eight
cen hundred babies, and many
of them came to visit her when
ever they were in reach of her
home. She had the satisfaction
of knowing that she never lost
a mother during all these years
of obstetric practice.
DR.. PETERS was a devoted
Christian and always said she
could never have done so much
if the Lord had not been with
her. ....

Jenny Lind Set the Precedent With 81 Scots
And Editors Took Up the CudgeI at Once
By Alice Eversmon

Two years before The Eve
ming Star published it's first
paper. December 16, 1852, WASH
ington had experienced its
greatest musical treat-a con-
cert by Jenny Lind. The Ma
tional Hall, seating $500, had
been built especially for the oc-
casion and admission prices
were set at 81. IS and $4.. This
seems to have started a trend
to which The Star objected in
an article in its first issue en-
titled. High Priced Concerts"
a reprint of one appearing in
the Philadelphia Home Gazette.
ut is about time." the article
read, "the public demurred to
the high prices which popular
singers and grasping agents
have of late been exacting-
since the Jenny Lind furor
which was created through the
exceeding adroit management
of that prince Of all managers.
Barnum. a similar excitement
has been attempted with each
succeeding star. Why must
a popular singer claim a thou
sand dollars a night for sing
ing four or five pieces when a
hundred would be a most liberal
compensation. The thing is
preposterous."
"A man with his wife and
two or three daughters =.
must pay as much for good
seats in the concert rooms for
a single evening as would pro-
vision his family for a week or
buy fuel enough to keep some
poor widows humble abode
warm for a whole winter. E.
In all conscience, a dollar for
a single admission to any con-
cert is enough. The man
who spends from $5 to $40 on a
single concert will be apt to
consider himself a little poor
for a week afterward; and feel,
in justice to his family, pledged
to close dealings with the mar
ket woman and day laborer and
be utterly insensible to all ap-
peals to a generous humanity"
Ole Bull Summoned
Washington liked it's music
in those days, from the Presi-
dent down. In The Stars birth
year. the entire body Of Sen
ators. cabinet members and
diplomats signed an invitation
to Ole Bull, Norwegian violinist,
and the rage Of the day, to give
a concert in Washington. He
gave two. They were brilliant
events, attended by what The
Star was won't to call "the
beauty and fashion" In one.
a slight disturbance was caused
by a Congressman from Ala
bama. When the artist was
doing some of his famous i'm
provising, he called out, None
Of your highfalutin', but give
us Hail, Columbia and bear
hard on the treble"
In that year also, a new
amusement house, Iron Hall
Assembly Rooms, was built on
Pennsylvania avenue between
Ninth and Tenth streets. It
was what Washington would
like to have today-rooms for
concerts and exhibits and
studios for teachers of the diff
ferent arts. Soon after, Carusi's
Saloon became the favorite con-
cert hall and there Ole Bull,
with the 9-year-old Adelina
Patti as assisting artist, gave
a concert.

Capital although, IN 1858. The
Star wrote what was to become
all too familiar: 1--WE hear that
Manager Stuart made no money
by the engagement of Maret-
zek's Troupe" In February Of
that year, the famous Italian
prima donna, Marie Piccolomini,
brought her company to the
White House for a performance
of "Traviata" for President
Buchanan and his guests. Called
"Pickle-H Hominy" by Artemus
Ward. it is said she "agitated
mems bozzoms" and that once
she was reproved for lack of
'maidenly reticence." The rec
ord shows a season of grand
opera at the Washington Thea
ter in 1859 and later the ap-
pearance of Adelina Patti and
her sister Carlotta in some Of
her best roles.
Marine Bond Prosied
, The Marine Band had been
part Of the official scene for
many years. It played at all
White House functions and, in
describing a levee, The Star
said, "The Marine Band occu-
pied their old quarters in the
anteroom, a tight fit, by the
way, and which threatens to
be embarrassingly snug when
the boy portion of the band
swells to manhood. But, suf-
ficient for the day is the evil
thereof" In an editorial, Free
Concerts in Washington" in
1858, the young newspaper
praises the bands outdoor con-
certs. in the Capitol and Ex-
ecutive Mansion grounds, and
urged "a turn out of every
man. woman and child in the
District of Columbia" All
those who would improve their
health" it said, "and cultivate
good manners and morals in
this community, who would
hear good music, who desire to
get the kinks arising from
over-study or over-labor out Of
them, should, by all means. at
tend hereafter"
Concerts by visiting artists
were frequent although The
Star seconds the New York
Evening Post in quoting its
comments: "They are quite un-
satisfactory in themselves be-
ing mere fragments and debris
of opera; nothing can be more
tantalising to q well instructed
musical ear, than the habit
which concert givers have Of
exciting the fancy by some de-
licious bit from Norma or Puri-
tani and then. as soon as the
whole mind is attuned to the
due condition, breaking in upon
it with some horrible Carnival
of Venice or other. Let us have
the whole thing or nothing at
ALL"
Thus, a century ago, The
Evening Star kept vigil over
the musical development of the
city. 1t was to record, year by
year, a list Of luminafies from
the concert, operate and or
chestral field who entertained
the Washington public. The
city's internal progress was fol-
lowed as carefully. down to the
present with its we'll estab-
lished National Symphony and
fine concert courses. It is i'm
possible to enumerate that gilt
tering procession which con-
tributed to the musical culture
Of the Nations Capital often
