W. Woods, Chairman of the Advise Board Mrs, Arther Fevier, ao of the Committee | Music and Machinery. | Near Aylmer in the old days there y was a saw, mill managed by a Civil | War veteran. The man in charge of | the saw was continually running into | trouble, and during one week he had { been forced to take the saw to town to get it set. The owner of the mill asked the veteran the reason for these frequent break-downs, and got a com- plete answer: "The durn fool has no car for music. He cannot tell when tl s are going wrong." It has been said often that while a stoker works with his hands, - an enginecr works with his ear. The man who | sits before a complicated machine | should be able « tell instantaneously {if an abnormal scund begins to rise from it If his ear has not been trained, the probability is that the machine will develop serious internal disorders A Toronto elegtrician in charge of a battery of big dynamos attributes his success to the fact that when he was young his parents gave him a long course of violin lessons, tlius developing in him a keen sense oi the valpes and imter-relations of sound Here is a suggestion for par- cuts whose boys have shown mechani- cal ability and who have indicated a bent for some form of technical training, Let the lad's ear be train- | ed, by a violin course. He will be a | better mechanician and a better work- man. Besides, he will have a hobby that will bring him unending delight as long as he lives. Music--And Being-Well-Dressed d Principle. Cheap tools will produce cheap workmanship is a principle that may be just as properly enunciated in music as in any other sphere, That what is worth doing is worth doing well also holds good in music. Parents start- ing a son or daughter on a period of miisical education would be well ad- vised to remember that with a cheap teacher, practising on a cheap piano, using cheap music and basing the child's study on a cheap idea of music, can produce nothing but cheap re- sults. A man does not wear good clothes so much for what others will think of him--he wears them because béing well dressed gives him more confi- dence in himself without which he is unlikely to ever accomplish anything worth while. The chief value of a musical edfication lies in what it does for the persons themselves. Profi- ciency in music is a goal to be long- ed for, the best of returns for hard work, something for which one will never cease to thank those who made its attainment possible. With:this thought in'mind the €st, inspirer of confidence, and the greatest help 'in maintaining that viewpoint is a good teacher, a good piano, and good music, A great heart-break with teachers is the too prevalent notion that anything is good enough to. practise on. Shey tries: to show a pupil's parents that the old worn-out square piano is cre- ating a false standard of tone in the child's ear; or maybe it is a new in- strument badly out of tune, but she meets with the same discouragement ~"Oh. anything will do to practise on. When Mary can play tunes we'll get something better." At the very beginning is when the true standard is most' needed.

London, Oct. 5.--After summariz- ing recent attacks and counter-at- tacks on the Flanders front Col. Repington writes in the Times: "These victories of our army in the der unusually arduous conditions. | For weeks the British armies alone { have delivered great attacks$"along their whole vast length. On the other Allied front there has been no is Ip 5 32 gf i £4 i = i £ $ 2 § ! £ E i = "5 (ik: il 7 i fuatitd i Ii i i then that the untrainedilar .is most susceptible to correct or incorrect tones. Yes, musical education is in- fluenced by the "good" or-*cheap" idea just e same as a man is by the clothes he wears, Music and Children's Hour. After tea, when father has glanced over the evening paper, comes the hour with the children. It is a romp and fun and stories until the kiddies' bedtime. It is astonishing how many read some well written story to their children every night with the idea of giving the young minds infor- pressing principles of .unselfishness, kindness to animals, industry, desire for travel, the love of pictures and so on, . a What better opportunity is there than that very time to. sow the seeds of love for music. Every child has the love of music born in him. It has to be, in the scheme of things. As a mother said of her boy, while she could hardly chain him to the piano he would follow a brass band' to the other end of the town no matter what game or playmates he. had to- leave to do so. The capacity for music is there; it is simply a case of diverting it into the right channel, There are homes where there is an endeavor to have the 'children hear some music every day: It may be the mother singing some hymns, or the father playing, or the fiddle or the guitar or the a i may be some suitable melodies on the talking machine or the player piano, but let it be music and .let the chil- dren have some of it every day. Fun and stories and music--that is the children's hour. Organ Pipes and Sound. Nothing that 'is complete is neces- sarily finished. . Tt hag generally been believed that the principle of the pipe organ was settled hupdreds of years ago and that all improvements of modern times have been mechanical aids in making the pipes speak. Yet 'an American organ builder has dis- covered by accident that the lip of an organ pipe does not divide the cur- rent of air which produces tone by vi- bration. Because of the theory that it did manufacturers gverywhere have always - sharpened the lip so that it would do its duty better. One of the workmen in this American builder's shop forgot to sharpen one of the pipe lips. When the pipe was sound- ed the tope was so much purer than others of the same style that an in- quiry was instituted to discover the reason. Then the dull lip was found. Singe that day all t yipes made by this factory follow" the workman's mistake. This is mo proof of the ad- vantages of carelessness. Perhaps it is the exception which proves the rule. The samé builder is accustomed to advise his customers not to buy by the ton, but by the tone. It is.a good slogan and might be applied to all kinds of music. © Quantity is less de- sirable than quality. Volume is use- less without purity. And yet an +English musician addressing an asso- ciation of cheir trainers rather favor- ed the Continentdl 'babit of. attend- ing to the "expression" and the "rhythm" of a singing composition, and not showing much concern about tone. It is not an ideal which appeals to a cultivated ear. political censorship enables even a Morn fool to win baftles on paper. Dummy men pose as statesmen and people thus gagged are bound. to learn the truth too late. "There is only one course of ac- tion likely to imperil the success of our armies in France. This is the withdrawal from our battle front of bombing squadrons for the purpose of paying off the London score be- fore the present operations in Fland- ers are concluded. The War Cabinet, the writer assumes, must be thor- oughly convinced of the mecessity of meeting the raids on London by raids on Gérman towns, but to with- draw bombing squadroms from this hard-fought fleld of battle in Fland- ers at this moment in resvonse to the public's very aatural clamor would be an ngt that no anthorities on the general staff or the Flying Corps could for a moment approve."

Few persons in Windsor are better known than Patrice Marentette,! who for the past nine years has been Reeve 'of the township of West Sandwich. Mr, Marentette is a pro- | gressive and successful farmer and is {one of the most influential men in the community; therefore his testimony regarding the remarkable fesults he has derived from the use of Tanlac is significant and will in- terest everyone who knows him. 'In telling the other day the story of his { recent restoration'/ to health, Mr. | Marentette said: { "I suffered from % serious stomach | trouble for fifteen years and during | that time, 'I tried all kinds of medi- jicines, but never found anything to relieve 'me "till I started on Tanlac. Mine: was really a case of chronic [dyspepsia and I had to be very care- | ful what I ate. Most everything {soured on my stomach-and made me feel like I was burning up inside. | | Gas would swell me up so I could hardly get my breath and I would often spit up bits of my undigested food. My head ached and I would get s0 nauseated and dizzy I was afraid of falling. I felt too weak and rundown to-do my work with any satisfaction. 1 was so restless 1 couldn't half sleep and got up in the mornings feeling just as bad as when I went to bed. . I don't know what I would have [done if I had not read so many en- dorsements of Tanlac from people I knew to be reliable. That convinced me and I got a bottle. I am on my fourth now and I feel like a new man. My stomach is in good condi- I have a fine appetite and ing. My head has stopped aching, 1 $leep better than in a long time. 1 have got rid of that tired, worn out feeling and I am_ stronger and bet- 'ter fitted to get through *with my work without getting tired." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. Chown. --ADVT, | Letters tothe Editor | Loops 'By a Meniber. * Kingston, - Oct, .3.-- (Te the Edi- tor): So W. F. Nickle has told his party he will no lomger be their candidate. I do not blame you much, Mr. Nickle. There is one thing though I do blame you for, viz.: twisting on the railroad deals, One would think you were at Coney Island do- ing the "loop-the-loop." You siarted near the scenic railway and took the shoot and looped on the grant to the C.N.R. for a few mililons at the starting of the road to help it along. Then the next loop you took was to support your party to give that same railroad a grant of hundreds of millions, also to fake over their debts, and it could not be produced in the House of Commons how much their debts were. The next loop was struck when you voted, not to help some smaller lines, to help our own government matlroad"s, but would support a private corporation. After doing that you fell off into the alough. of despond and flounder ing about among the Barnacles, Na- tionalists, grafters amd Tory office- seekers, you reached the shore of Kingston harbor. On looking back, like Lot's wife, you saw such a ter- rible muddle of political corruption, you said, 'My country! My poor country!" and shook the dust of poli- tics off your feet and told them, "1 won't go back there any more." I think you did right, as you did not do much for Kingston anyway after six year of representing us. You were preuy well up on your job, not like Mr. Edwards, M.P., who after years at Ottawa did not know how many made a quorum (see Han- sard page, 6268). Do not let them haul you back by petitions, flattery, etc, =dy, cabinet minister, or help to form a union government, ete. There must be something in the wind and people are watching very care- fully. © Why you again is a puzzler, Cannot you get Dr. Edwards and his friends the Nationalists to get out snd allow some good men to form a government even if it is a union one. We have been deriving great bene- fit/from the Locomotive Works for many years and what a pleasure it must be to the Hon. Willlam Harty to look back to that time and to look on now. Having one son overseas and the other son here making shells to feed his brother's guns at the front! What an honor for his King and country! What does Dr. Edwards mean by knocking the guards at the peniten- tiary? You say you do not wish to be misunderstood as being opposed to the grant of $100. Why mention it at all? You say their are hundreds «df employees who have longer hours and whose work is more particular (this I doubt), and are receiving less. You also state that once they re- ceive this grant it will be hard to cut At off (see Hansard 6361), Why cut it off at all? ' They surely receive little enough now. Instead of look- ing after these little things, better attend to the greater steals and grafts of your party, and not support them so blindly as you do. It really looks badly to see J. Wes- fey Edwards sticking to the graft of J. Wesley Allison and J. Wesley Fla- velle. 1 would hold up both hands for all government officials who get less than $1,500 a year to get a raise to make it $1,500, and make a call on all grafters to pay the difference. So the Standard, Oct. 1st, stated that Bourassa is hand in hand with Laurier, Oh, no, Laurier kicked them but and the Tory party made little gods of them; made them cabinet ministers and judges. Pats them on the back and sits on tNe same side of the house with them. For fair play, if you want to play it, do not connect Wilfrid Lanrier's air name with such a class as cluster bout the Tory party. Yours, --JAMES TRAVERIS, Brockville Man Decorted.
