Just across the ice, at Rochester, N.Y., George Eastman, of Kodak fame, is conducting an expensive ex- before has such a thing been tried on euch a scale, perhaps because vidual willing to devote his wealth to such an end. Mr. Eastman's first step Was to build a magnificent auditorium after the best modern theatres. Here mo- tion pictures are run afternoon and evening, but though they are the best to be had they are looked upon merely as the toasted cheese that will coax swarms of unmusical mice into this sumptuous mouse-trap. Once he settles them in those com- fortable seats his aim is to drench the hope that they will learn to like 'and finally to appreciate it. Kingston | fans who tune in on WHAM know | the excellence of the musical fare provided. Mr. Eastman holds that to train good listeners is ten times | more important than teaching good | | only puts off the evil day and makes | performers. He expects it to take | at least five years before any gen- | eral public appreciation is develop | ed, but meanwhile there is much en- | couragement, i But the aim of developing capable | performers I§ by no means neglect- ed. In connectfon with the theatre are a school of music and one of bal- let. It is interesting to know that: a former young Kingston lady. is pupils and appears on the theatre programme almost weekly. The music school supplies free tuition and free instruments to all who can- not pay. Orchestras are equipped in any high school which care to | maintain one, and picked youngsters | are given practices in conducting, During the concert season the theatre orchestra is expanded into the Rochester Phitharmonic Orches- ¢ra, for which Goosens and Coates, two of England's outstanding con- | ductors, were brought over. Weekly aoncerts are given by the leading vocalists and instrumentalists of the world at prices which, in some cases, ensure a deficit though every seat | be taken. The one aim of all this | activitiy 1s to bring as many people as possible within sound of the best music. Is it not a plece of expensive and typically American folly thu8 to force music upon a mass of people who feel as yet no desire or need for it? Not in Mr. Eastman's view. He believes that In music there is an | inspiration and culture obtainable in no other way; and that to arouse that ennobling love in ten thousand minds is to have achieved more greatly than falls to the lot of most mortals. CLASS DISTINCTIONS. One sometimes feels that in a city | with a, big penitentiary just outside | its limits the citizens do not pay | sufficient attention to the criminal | problem--though, we grant, there | are certain officials of this institution | which think that altogether too | much attention is paid to the officials | and their methods. Our prison popu | lation is growing at an alarming ex- | tent, yet how few there are who take | the trouble to enquire why this | should be so. Now comes a con- | vict writer who declares that nearly | all of the inmates are recruited from | the physically unfit classes of the community, "Within the ranks of the thing called Society," asserts "An Ex- Criminal" writing in the current is- sue of Physical Culture Magazine, "you have three classes of human be- dngs, your arsitdcracy, your great middle class, and. the poor people | who Hve from hand to mouth, "In the underworld there are pre- ! cisely the same class distinctions. "They criminal aristocrats are the bank burglars, the confidence men, the high-class gamblers who play | the ocean liners, the forgers and the bank sneak thieves, "Tho great middle-class of the un- derworld is made up of post-office | and small-time safe crackers, race- | track touts, 'steerers' for confidence { men, shoplifters, house burglars, ho- tel sneak hieves and train robbers.

For instance, I have never known a bank' burglar who was illiterate or cruel or addicted to drugs. Bank bur- glars are invariably fellows of polish and culture, and I have never known a bank burglar to kill. 1 haves worked with the best of tli¥im, so 1 know what I am talking about.

ONE TAX One of the advantages of the in-| { come tax, whatever its inequities or' | burdens in individual cases, is that it makes the people generally rea- lize what they are contributing to-| ward meeting the cost of govern- {ment, It is often alleged in behalf i of indirect taxes that the people do not "feel" them. But they pay them just the same, It is a good thing for the tax payer to "feel" { his taxes, for then he is ready to appreciate the desirability of eco- ! nomy and efficiency in public as well as private affairs. Political économists have never {had much success in devising pain- less taxes, for individuals. Borrowing schemes it worse when it does arrive, as even- tually it must. The steady improve- ment in Great Britain's finances is attributed to this traditional, sound policy. tions have been piling up their lia- bilities and steadily increasing the interest charges, and depreciating their currencies by putting out fiat money, Great Britain has stuck to the rule of "pay as you go," and while it has been a hard pull, she is beginning to emerge from her dif- | ficulties. Whenever the question of incurring fresh obligations is under discussion, the people should have a clear idéa of what the government is costing now, what the: have a right to #@nything they are | willing to pay for, but should rea- lize that they are the only ones who will do this paying. . ------ PRESS COMMENT Lonelinéss.

The large bulk of business is carried on by commer cial instruments. The most import- ant is the ordinary bank check. It would make a lot of trouble for a man if he had to carry enough money down to his office in the morn- ing to buy a house. 3 The percentage of cash business transactions is so small that it prob- ably would fall between 7 and 7 1-2 life of a rat." per cent. of the total amount used in business to-day.

They | But loneli- | the | not coincide with province. the ! cohclusion that it is from the ranks | By James W, Barton, M.D, The Blow on tlie Head. { You have attended a football game or a boxilig bout and one of the .par- ticipants gets a bump on the head and cannot get up. As a matter of fact he Is uncon- sclous, and doesn't know just what is { going on around him. In a few seconds or perhaps min- utes he Is on his feet again, appar- ently as well as ever. The wise coach in a football or { hockey game, will usually take him | | out of the game for a few minutes | at this time. What has happened? He has had a concussion. A concussion is simply a jar or | shock that is given to the brain, It is as If you took the head into | your hands and gave it a shake: This | jarring actually interferes with the action of the brain without really in- | juring it. | It is just as if you got a blow on f your arm or leg muscles and could | not use them. They are practically | powerless, | In a few seconds or minutes the | power comes back and you have lie } | | | | full. use of the arm or leg again. Really no damage done. But in the case of concussion or a blow on the skull this same jar means the disuse of the brain sub- stance for awhile. In the case of the boxer it is a serious matter if it lasts more than ten seconds, because that gives the | bout to the opponent. | That is the reason that in amateur | boxing, if such an accident occurs, | (one minute is "given to the fallen | boxer, instead of just ten sesgnds.. | | This permits a clever boxer to | { "come back," and in amateur boxing | it is clevermess that is the goal al-| ways. | It very frequently happens in ama. | teur boxing that the boxer suffering | the concussion comes back to his | senses and wins the bout. In concussion there is relaxed muscles, pale skin, weak and rapid | pulse, and complete loss of con- | sciousness, Sometimes they can be | | partially aroused by pinching them, | yelling into the ear, or sticking pins | into them. They usually regain consciousness | in a few s~conds. | The usual treatment is the old | fashioned smelling salts--amonia, | and the application of heat to the body. Where the unconsciousness lasts for some minutes, the after treat- ment is very important. Absolute rest is the big essential. Rest in the real sense--away from telephone and business of all kinds. Away also from the kindly enquiries and efforts of friends. Light tasty food, and effective re- gulation of the bowels is always in- dicated. | WHY THE WEATHER? | DR. CHARLES F. BROOKS Meteorological Secretary, America How. - Soclety, Tel 3 . Tornado Season in the South. The tornado season is now opening on the southern plains and lowlands. Farther north, in the region from Missouri to Ohio, it will probably not be warm enough nor moist enough to favor tornadoes before May; while tornadoes usually do not occur in the upper Mississippi Valley till June or later. To produce a tornado, excessive convection is required. In March and April, conditions in the South are right for violent overturning of the air. The season is far enough along for the air to become hot and moist at the surface, and yet the air is still cold aloft. There are strong temperature contrasts between north and south winds, and cyclones are in the prime of their gpring vigor. It is not surprisifig, then, that when a strong, V-shaped low with high winds, sharply contrasted in temperature and direction, passes over hot moist plains, an occasional intense whirl develops into the dreaded tornado. The Weather Bur- eau never forecasts tornadoes; their occurrence is so local and so erratic that the forecast could be of little service and would occasion unneces- sary alarm. True Blues Event. The Loyal True Blues held their fortnightly euchre and dance in the Orange hall last evening with the usual large attendance. The first prizes in the euchre games were won by Miss Hunt and Mr. Holland, while the consolation prizes went to Miss V. Walker and R. Nicholson. The square dances were unusually popular under the prompting of Mr, Masters. The committee in charge 'was composed of Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Longshaw, Mrs. Rou- shorn, Messrs. T. Masters, E. Camp- bell and F. Roushorn. -~ ! Had a Jolly Dance.

IN HOREL, CHING AD JAN Meets With Great Success-- The Kingston "Y" to Make a Contribution. oy --- Those who were privileged to be present at the Y.M.C.A. on Thursday evening were able to get a glimpse of the foreign work which is being carried on in Korea, China and Ja- pan. Frank Brockman, honorary national secretary of the Y.M.C.A. in Korea; T. D. Patton, national Y.M. C.A. secretary for Capada, and J. A. Machado, president of the Canadian Bank Note Company, Ottawa, gave interesting talks on the work in the == Welding Specialists You take no risk in turning over your welding jobs to our expert staff. Having applied ourselves to this par- ticular line of work for years we are capable of producing 100 per cent efficlent results, Bishop Machine Shop KING AND QUEEN STREk.. FOR SALE --We have some attrac- tive bargains in city pro- foreign field. Mr. Brockman has been engaged in Y.M.C.A. work in Korea for eigh-| teen years, and is home on turlough. ! For fourteen years he has been the | honorary national secretary., Mr. Machado, who resides in Ottawa, had the privilege, two years ago, of via- iting the foreign field, where his daughter is married to a Y.M.C.A. worker, and got first hand informa- tion of the "Y," and, therefore, is in a position to 'know whereof he speaks. Mr, Patton gave an illus trated talk to the boys at the conm- clusion of the main meeting. Although the work is in a great sense self-supporting, it is necessary this year to raise in Canada and the United States, the sum of $1,355,- 000 ,to assist in carrying qut tha Y.M.C.A. programme on the foreign field. A portion of this mcuey ds to be raised in Ontario, and already different * associations have pledged themselves to donate certain sums of money. By a unanimous vote the meeting decided to recommend to the board of directors the raising of $300 to assist In promoting this work. Part of this money is al- ready in hand, and there should be no trouble in raising the required sum. Mr. Brockman told some of the experiences which he had had since going to the foreign field eighteen years ago. At first the work looked rather discouraging, but is has gra- dually expanded to such an extent that it is almost impossible to look after all the Koreans who wait upon the "Y" officials. There are 2,400 members and the annual budget which the Koreans themselves raise is $50,000. Thers is also a Y.M.C.A. which ministers to the Japanese peo- ple in the same city. He, stated that there was not much trouble in getting members, as the type of work cafried on in the Y,M.C.A. appealed to the Korean people. Wheil" Mr. Brockman first went to that country, athldtics were un- known, and the only two games played were kite flying and stones fighting. Modern games were im- mediately introduced, ind only last| year teams representing seventesi of the large cities came together and had a contest. perty. --A good list of farm and garden lands to choose rom. --Fire Insurance in first- class companies. ~--Money to loan on mort- gages.

Mr. Machado said that in China ths people are flocking to the "Y," crav- ing education. He told of the work which the Canadians are carrying on sixteen segretaries at work, and the foreign committee is asking that the sum of $16,000 be raised in Canada. In closing his brief address he pald tribute all -the foreign Y.M.C.A. workers, dnd stated that he was de- lighted to realizc that his daughter and his son-indaw and his graad- children were ministering through the agency of the YM.C.A. on the foreign field. Dr. C. C. Nash, chairman of the religious educational committee for the local 'Y," presided, and during the evening an orchestra, composed of Messrs. Madrand, Cannon and Ackerly, rendered some splendid music. ' One of the speakers thought It would be very nice if the Oshawa, Kingston, Belleville and Peterboro "Y's" could be responsible for the upkeep of a secretary on the foreign field. .
