Hear the Grammar School Concert The first concert of the Richmond grammar school orchestra 'will be held at the high school auditorium this evening. -The public should not overlook" the opportunity to hear the children play. This orchestra is not as well known as the high school orchestra, for it is a comparatively new organization. We want to keep in mind, however, that the members of the grammar school orchestra are the future members of the high school organization, and these in turn will graduate into the symphony orchestra. It may seem strange to many of us to be invited to attend a musical performance in which the players are members of the grammar school, but we forget that musical education in Richmond has undergone a wonderful development in the last 10 or 15 years. he general interest of children and adults has been cultivated assiduously not only in the schools, but also in the homes and - the clubs. Whereas formerly only a small percentage of the children "took lessons," hundreds of young children are today under the capable instruction of competent music teachers and are receiving encouragement in the schools to pursue the study of music. The grammar school orchestra is a manifestation of this general "development of our musical life which has escaped our notice and attention.
Supporting the Orchestra The good progress that is noted in the sale of tickets -for the concerts which the Richmond Symphony orchestra will give this season indicates that the public intends to support the rejuvenated organization. The members of the orchestra are giving their time and attention to the preparation of an excellent concert season, and their hard work should be'i-ewarded by capacity audiences. Of this there iwill be no question, as the seat sale so far is moving along in a manner that is satisfactory to the men who are backing the movement. The public, however, should remember that the future development of the orchestra depends UDon the support which is given in the first sea
son. The tickets are selling at a popular price toJ
assure a large audience. If the people absorb
the tickets freely and without urging, it will demonstrate to the public spirited men who assumed the burden of re-organizing the orchestra that the citizens of Richmond really want the organization placed on a solid footing. Richmond's reputation as a city loving music is well established. It gained its high standing in this respect, however, by years of slow growth. If the orchestra is able to enjoy the support of the public generously the first season, the leaders of the orchestra and its members will be encouraged to increase their efforts in the development of their art. .
The District Tourney Returns Not only the pupils of the Richmond high schools, but the patrons as well, are glad to know that a district basketball tourney will be held here in March. Basketball has become one of the favorite winter sports of the community, and in former years the presence of dozens . of teams from surrounding cities was the occasion for a general turn-out of the city to watch the contests. Alleged unfair treatment of teams two years ago resulted in the removal of the tourney from Richmond last year. Every one felt the loss keenly. And it is gratifying to learn that the charges were found to be untrue upon investigation, and that the authorities have again selected the city as one of the district meeting places. The high school and the public generally rejoices in the decision, and if there was the slightest semblence of truth in the accusation, the city will take every precaution to prevent a repetition of the offenses. Sportsmanship is always respected and appreciated. Richmond has never had to feel ashamed over the conduct of its boys and girls when their teams were clashing with visitors. Spectators who saw the games played here were delighted to see that true sportsmanship predominated so overwhelmingly that the home rooters did not refrain from applauding long and hard a brilliant piec of team work or the individual prowess of a member of a visiting team. This is the spirit which the city applauds in its boys and girls. We all feel sure that when the visitors leave this year they will go home with the knowledge that Richmond entertained them royally and gave them full credit for their ability to play the game. The district tournaments develop school spirit and heighten the love and affection of the boys and girls for their own school. Richmond has been, honored in being selected as one of the places where the preliminaries for the state tournament will be conducted. "To have the best tournament in the state" is the slogan of the
pupils and teachers. The whole city subscribes to that sentiment and will help the high school fulfill it.

disuse the last few years. During the Roosevelt administration Roosevelt spent much of hij recreation time on the court and the prominent men with whom he played became known as his
"tennis cabinet." Harding Is an enthusiastic tennis player as well as a golf player, and, it appears, intends to make use of the court again. The photo shows the White House in the background.
VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE
By ED HOWE Every man is taught he should do a certain amount of blundering, or he will not be esteemed as having a good heart.
You have perhaps observed that the sentimentalist is always looking for new evidence. Let another sentimental publication be announced, and he will subscribe: If a sentimental lecturer appears, he will attend. The explanation is, the sentimentalist's philosophy is in constant need of encouragement, being without sound basis. Left to himself, he will soon begin to doubt, so he must have constant encouragement to keep him cheering his folly. On the other hand, common sense demonstrates itself so completely that there is never any doubt about it. Its followers find evidence of their faith in their own communities, among their own neigh bore; in every-day incidents. Every natural thing proves common sense, so the disciple- of common tense does not need to hear new lectures, or read new books, to encourage him.
Every man thinks he must exploit certain great falsehoods, for the reason that if he does not, other hypocrites will say he has no soul.
Rippling Rhymes .
By WALT MASON 1
THE KNOWING ONE If I had John H. Milton's harp, my brow in wreaths arrayed,. I'd, sing an ode about the sharp who truly knows his trade, be it the boning of a carp, or filing of a spade. Nine workmen tried to fix my bus, which had been hitting wrong; for days I saw with it fuss, the while their bill grew long, and I could only weep and cuss, when scheduled for a song. They held an inquest on my cart, that was of little use; they took the motor all apart, and pried the crankshaft loose, to find out why things wouldn't start when they applied the juice. And when their greasy toil was done, the boat was just the same; the whatyoucallit wouldn't run, the thingumbob was lame; and it had taken all my mon to pay them for their game. They might have -made good auctioneers, or coroners, or clerks; they might have won out herding steers, or preaching in the kirks; but they were lemons, it appears,-among a motor's works. And then came workman ' Number Ten, when those nine jays were gone; yea, one of nature's noblemen came skipping up the lawn; he came to earn an honest yen, and did, so help me John, He was a man of pep and sense, a workman skilled was he, and in an
hour lie banished thence the grief that spoiled my glee, and my old car would jump a fence or climb a banyan tree.
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". FIFTY-SEVEN GENTS Laugh at no small beginnings. Or seemingly insignificant ones. Things and happenings of real moment creep up from obscure corners and by way of heads and hand3 never before talked about. A half a century or so ago, a young lawyer in New England took pity on a struggling little country church, became its preacher, built a new home for its members and then moved to Philadelphia to help out another church in the same condition. This man had ideals, great powers of expression in speech, and was not afraid to undertake anything. So, naturally, he did great things ! The vision of a mighty people's church and university came to his mind. He planned to plant them both on one of the main streets of the city. No dream to this leader was an impossibility in real life, so when a little girl died and requested that her 57 cents be used to start this church, it was Russell H. Conwell who took it and made it as the first payment on the land that was to house the buildings which today stand as monuments for world good and service. I heard this man lecture 20 years ago on the subject "Acres of Diamonds" a lecture which has been delivered more times than any other in the history of the world, and which has earned millions for its author but only to be given away to deserving young men and women. Mr. Rockefeller recently sent Dr. Conwell a thousand dollars to keep for himself but he immediately divided it among ten young men in school! It is a wonderful thing to be so rich inside that you are able to give away so much.

Five Hunters Bring Five Bull Buffalo (By Associated Pr"iR SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 1.1. Five hunters bringing five bull buffalo returned today from their hunting expedition to Antelope island in Great Salt lake after a trip of three and one-half days. Another party is planning to depart for the island in the near future, unless a resolution which passed the lower house of the Utah legislature yesterday, calling for the appointment of a committee to report on what steps are necessary to preserve the herd receives prompt attention. The average weight of the bulls killed was 1.800 pounds on the hoof. The animals were shot Thursday

Who's Who in the Day's News
If Representative Carl W. Riddiek of Montana eventually is eliminated from consideration by Harding in choosing his cabinet, it will not worry the Montana solon. For Riddiek takes pride in the fact
that he is the only real dirt farmer in
f SMI house. His ' aa I hnmp is nr n farm
and he spends his his time "working about the place" when not in Washington. Because of his practical experience in farming he is talked of for secretary of agriculture. He points with pride to the fact that his district contains more
farms than any other district. Riddiek is a Republican. He has two sons who served in the war. He was re-elected from the Second Montana district at the last election.

I Answers to Questions
v i THANK YOU (1) When was the president's salary increased to $75,000? The salary originally was fixed at $25,000; in 1871 it was increased to $30,000 and in 1909 to $75,000. In addition there is a traveling fund of $25,000 and a contingent fund of $25,000 annually and allowances for the upkeep of the White House and the executive offices. (2) When and where was whisky first made, both corn and rye? We have been unable to find this information. 3) What is "real lace" and how made? All authorities agree that lace is an ornamental fabric. See the article in the Encyclopedia Americana for information as to how lace is made. J. H BROWNSVILLE This is the inscription in my old violin, "Jacobus Stainer, in Abfam. probe Oenipontum. 1C04." Where is Abfam, how long has Jacobus been dead, and what is the meaning of prope Oenipontum? You may own a valuable instrument. Abfam, probably Absam, is or was a German town. The inscription means, Jacobus Stainer, residing in Abpam, near Oenipontum, 1604. The Encycloedia Amrricana has the following to say about Stainer: "German violinmaker: born in Absam, July, 1K21; died 1683. He was apprenticed to a maker of stringed instruments at Innsbruck. He learned the secret of the Italian method of constructing violins.
and won a reputation that passed be-

and lasted for more than a century." There is a discrepancy between the date in your violin and Stainer's birth.
If he was born in 1621, he could not have mad your instrument You may have made a mistake 'ncopying the date. It might be well to investigate the value of the violin.
GOTHAM SHAKE-UP MAY HIT CITY HEADS (By Associated Frees) NEW YORK, Jan. 15. Investigation of alleged graft and corruption In the city administration Friday led ex-Governor Charles S Whitman, special counsel, into new fields. He announced, in connection with the indictment of police captain William A. Bailey yesterday on a charge of accepting a bribe from fur manufacturers to prevent possible sabotage by striking employes, that he would inquire into reports of misconduct in several other lines besides the i"' department. Mr. Whitman plainly Intimated that he expected other indictments to be returned soon. He said important leads had come to him in documents presented by Meier Steinbrink counsel f t" board of estimate, in the recent investigation into city building contracts. The fur manufacturers association reported it had so far been unable to account for more than $3,000 of a ?50.0v strike fund. Mr. Whitman asserted he had evidence that many furriers had paid fees to the police for extraordinary efforts In recovering stolen property. He said that among the illegal practices he would attempt to reveal in the investigation were: Exacting payment for ordinary police duty, selling extraordinary protection against burglars and other criminals, negligence in efforts to recover stolen property unless promises of lucrative gratiuties were forth coming and acting in collusion with private detective agencies.

Three and a half million children in eastern and central Europe wait, gaunt and pinched like these, at the American kitchens tor the hot -soup and bread that mean life to theiu. In the winters since the Armistice, America has been the one friend that had food to give them. It is a common sight In Europe todny to see a child five or six years old whose head has not healed. With a healthy well fed baby the skull should close before two years. America must see these children through the rigors of another winter, and to that end eight great relief organizations have combined into the European Relief Council. They seek to raise $33,(X)0.000 to save this generation of Europe from death by starvation and the diseases that come with under-feeding.

Serious sickness often follows lingering- colds. Hard coughing racks a child's body and disturbs strength-giving sleep, and the poisons weaken the system so that disease cannot be warded off.
