tractions, as well as the enthusiastic reception which was accorded to the program, shows that

the public is appreciating more fully the efforts of the organization to offer, a high standard of musical entertainment to the citizens of Richmond. As the season advances .the public will show that it is not overlooking the work of the Symphony orchestra but is entering into the spirit which prompted the re-organization of this musical unit. A gradually increasing attendance at eacb-of the concerts is a manifestation of an ' interest that, is constantly growing and ultimately will sustain the orchestra. I It isnot the easiest thing imaginable to develop a general musical interest in all our citizens, even on the solid foundation that was laid here many years ago. , , The growing participation of the public proves, however, that it is willing to accord the support which the orchestra deserves; and that, as the weeks roll by, this interest will crystallize into that full attendance and general support which is desired. " Sometimes he very slowness of the public to rally to the support of an enterprise, such as the successful nanagement of the orchestra, is to be preferred Jo 'a mushroom manifestation of interest which disappears as the season advances. Loyal and .solid supporters of the orchestra, vyho attend, the "concerts because they, love to hear good music,, are preferable to an audience which is present merely out of a sense of duty, or because it has been dragged into the hall by the insistent request of friends and relatives. The progress which the orchestra is making and the preparations that are under way for the May Festival-are two Very important factors in assuring-' the: success of the season. Richmond appreciates; good music, and it is demonstrating it by tumipgput in increasingly large numbers tb hear the" concerts. . The members of the orchestra are working hard to provide good enter

tainment and the public is showing its appreciation by its attendance. This is' as it should be.

The decision of the workers in the Chicago packing plants not to act hastily in the wage dispute that has arisen in the industry is preferable, as far as their own interests are concerned, to a hasty cessation of work. . Both capital and labor should act with caution and forbearance at present, when the whole world is trying to readjust' and re-establish itself . Hasty action will not accelerate a return

progress and happiness for both sides, while calm

and deliberate judgment will lead to results that will be satisfactory to "both sides. Not the least interested party to the dispute is. the public, which will suffer from any untoward act on either side. The public believes that the same results can be obtained by a presentation of grievances .and claims in a conference before a strike that could be obtained after thousands had quit work. Every strike has ultimately been settled in a conference of. the two sides. The public believes that the economic waste of a strike and the expenses and discomfiture to which it puts thousands should be avoided by a settlement before a strike has to be called.

Domestic Science Exhibit

How To Start the Day Wrong

The exhibition of the domestic science work of the pupils of the county schools, which is to be held at the court house during the week of April 4, will demonstrate the ability of pupils to

learn some of the practical things of life. Last i

year's exhibit was an unqualified success from the standpoint of the quality of the work which was shown.. A few years ago none of us would have believed that a school system should give instruction in domestic science, but today we believe that an educational system that overlooks practical things is not functioning right. Every patron of the county schools is glad to know that the school authorities have a competent supervisor to instruct the children in this work and to inculcate in their minds the advantages of learning these things at school. The exhibit is not arranged to "show off" the prowess of pupils, but to encourage them by displaying the work from many parts of the county, to seek perfection in this branch of their school duties. Their parents will have an opportunity of seeing the results that have been accomplished elsewhere and it will give them an insight .into a phase of the educational system of which they know little.

Good Evening By Rey K. Moulton

One minister" of the dress-reform symposium says that silk stockings should not be worn. Anyhow no woman with taste will wear stockings lhat are worn, especially where the worn place Is where it will show, so that seems to settle that. A prominent optometrist has made the startling statement . that all attractive blondes shuld be deported. "They, hurt men's eyes," he says. "There id a new eye disease which

comes from looking at flashy objects like" yellow hair.' Men look at blondes too constantly." The doctor may be right, but it is to be hoped that wc are to be allowed a few pleasures in this country. Mn used to got eyestrain from drinking certain ' bootlegger brands of hootch. When that was phut off they began getting eye trouble by staring at blondes. Men eimply seem to be determined "to contract eye trouble m some way. Men. by the way, have been looking at blondes fo many years. They took cuite an interest in Cleopatro. Among the famous gentlemen who spent a great deal of time and money looking at her was Old Uncle J. Caesar and Marc Antony. Nobody ever heard of either of them wearing eyeglasses or being obliged to pit in a dark room, but enough other things happened to thetn to make up for that. The blondes are proverbial trouble catfsers, and the only other class who have- caused as much, are the brunette. Men will never agree as to which have caused the most. Some havo aniirril one style and some the other. But vhVj; in the name of common sftuse will be gainpd by spoiling half our musical shows and practically all

our movies by deporting the blondes?

WHAT WE NEED MORE OF There has been altogether too much gibberish about worse. times, too much publicity of short-vlsioned prognostications, an uncalled for oversufficiency of blue-rimmed spouting on the part of near-sighted observers. What the country needs just now is more poise, more optimism, more common sense, and above all more faith in this greatest country in the world. Some years ago Woodrow Wilson referred to certain hard times as "purely psychological." Today, too, conditions are being greatly and needlessly aggravated by a dark-brown state of mind. There is a particularly apt and timely, story of a man who. In a stagecoach, was carrying on hia knees a box, on which were nailed slats. Even at that time a box like that always excited curiosity. Finally one fellow passenger, who could keep it in no longer, leaned over and said to the man

with the mysterious packaget "Stranger, may I be so bold as to ask what

you have in that box? A mongoose, . was tne polite answer. you aon i say! But say, what is a mongoose?" "A mongoose? That's a little animal we use for killing snakes." "Oh, of course. I see. But. er-er-well. where are you going to kill snakes with your mongoose?" "My brother has the delirlum-tremens," the man replied, "and I have brought this mongoose so he can use it to kill the snakes." The interrogator seemed satisfied, and then became plunged in deep cogitation. They had ridden about a mile or so, when the gentleman of the Socratic method was evidently struck by an Idea, for he. burst out with: "But, lordy gracious, man, you do not need a mongoose to kill the snakes that a fellow sees who has the delerium-tremens for they are only imaginary snakes!" "I know," said the owner of the box, sadly, tapping his precious package gently. "I know that deiirium-tremen snakes are only imaginary snakes, but this is only an imaginary mongoose!" And the moral of this tale of course is that an imaginary disease can be eliminated by an imaginary remedy. Also, that the really great curative agent in the foregoing as in a good many other illnesses such as "nerves," fear, distrust, worry, "hard times," short-vision and unconfidence is just ungarnished, old-fashioned and ever-new-springing faith faith which is a composite of courage, confidence, hard work and optimism faith, which is what we really cash in on every time. That is what is behind the imaginary mongoose, and that, despite the fact that we have the richest and most abundant resources, facilities and capabilities of any nation on earth, is what we every one of us need more of today to go forward.

FAMILY. To satisfy some of your interested readers will you tell them

as to the nationality of a child boru of American parents on the high seas on a British or other foreign ship. At what distance from the shores of a country do the high seas begin? A chili. born on a foreign ship of American parents Is an American citizen. This is the- general view of nations that the child partakes of the nationality of its parents. The open sea, including the whole extent of the sea as far as It Is not the exclusive property of a particular country, is known as the high seas. The rule of international law Is that every country .bordering on the sea has the exclusive sovereignty over such sea to the extent of three miles from the shores; but all beyond is open or common to all countries. Within the territorial limit the local courts of the United States has held the term high seas to apply to the open waters of the Great Lakes. INTERESTED. Are soldiers and policemen entitled to share in the Hero Fund provided by Andrew Carnegie 8s a reward for meritorious" acts, or acts of valor? The heroes rewarded by the Carnegie .commission, according to the regulations, are such persons who perform such acts of heroism as are n6t required of them in their regulor vocation.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adama, Author of "You Can," Take It," "Up" BLINDUNBEATENi Hardly a day passes but what some fine being touches a new notch in the world and demonstrates anew that you can't kill real spirit. For years a Jewish comedian by the name of Ben Welch has been making thousands laugh. One day last summer in London, while he was playing, his sight began to fail. New he is totally blind. He had an insurance policy which was good for a lump suiri of $10,000 or $75 a week for the rest of his life but he had to glveup work, and pretend that he was a sort of "dead one," in order to get either. Did he accept the conditions? He did not! "My wit," says this intrepid one, "has become sharper since I lost my sight, and my desire to create laugh.ter in people's hearts only keener." So Welch, in the presence of friends, lighted a match to the insurance policy and told it "Good-bye. They can't like me," was the only comment of the comedian when he learned the conditions back of his policy. Blind! But that didn't keep the optimism of Welch in some dark cellar. For discouragement he had nothing but contempt. . Misfortune, after all, often becomes a great teacher and helps men to achieve what they would hardly have accomplished atherwise. So long as m'en are Incomplete, somebody or something must prod them through the thickets of fear and discouragement and bring them out on the other side nearer their goals. Ben Welch is totally blind at the age of 46. But he isn't beaten!

It was a chemistry class, and the aged professor, who was anything but a Pussyfoot, was doing a stock experiment, which consisted of blowing vigorously upon some blue crystals, whereupon they turned yellow. When he had finished he asked the class if they had any questions to ask. "Yes. sir," came a voice from the back of the room. "Will anybody's breath do that?" "There's a movement on foot to compel husbands to pay salaries to their wives, the same as to anyone else who works for them. Don't you think that's fair?" "Eminently fair, if the husband reserves the right to fire those who prove unsatisfactory." j When Professor Walter Raleigh was asked to lecture at Princeton college, Professor Root went down to the station to meet the distinguished visitor. Professor Root did not know Professor Raleigh, but. walking up to a man whom he thought looked like him, he said : "I beg your pardon,' but am I adressing Walter Raleigh?" The man looked at him a moment and thinking he must be mad, replied: "No, I am Christopher Columbus. Walter Raleigh is in the smoking room with Queen Elizabeth."
