The program was in charge of the Lart and literature committee and Sig- nor Vittoris Falorsi gave a most orig- inal and interesting talk "Begin- ings of Music and Dranta," which was illustrated by Mrs. rdin with songs at the piano. Mrs. Hardin also sang the songs for Mrsf James C. Ames who was unable tofbe present. Signor Falorsi said that} the songs of southern France and" Spain are very ancient and that all of Greek, Moorish or Spanish origin have a definite tune, that the tunes of those | of Greek origin were determined by fitting the songs to the motive of Greek basreliefs, and that all early songs have a common monotony of tune and much repetition. No music was written before the eleventh century and even then there was no division into measure and it was interpreted as each musician wished.

Flag Contains National Colors and Typifies Entrance of Illinois Into Union of the United States. Wallace Rice, poet, actor and scenario writer, of Chicago, prepared a design for the Illinois Centennial Banner, which was presented to the Illinois Centennial Commission at a recent meeting held in Springfield, and unanimously adopted by them. It is not an Illinois flag, but the Illi- nois Centennial Banner and will be gotten up in various shapes to be used for decorative purposes, to be flown as a flag, and also to be used as pennants for automobiles and other vehicles. Banner Stands for Unity. The banner is composed of three stripes, two white and one blue. In the upper white stripe are ten stars representing the ten northern states in the Union previous to the admis- sion of Illinois in 1818, and ten stars in the lower white stripe represent the ten states south of the Mason- Dixon line that were in the Union previous to 1818. A large star in the blue stripe represents Illinois, which was the 21st state admitted to the Union. The two white stripes are bound together by the blue, which is a National Blue, and signifies Union, thus very patriotically, prettily and artistically showing the unity of the twenty-one states, ten north and ten south, joined by what we think, the State of all states, Illinois. = EEE SELLS HUBBARD WOODS HOME TO SUGAR BROKER Cheetos Hogle Now Owner of Hodg son Property -- Wilmette Resi- dence Taken in Part Payment. !
