Violin classes were started in the Richmond public schools about three years ago when class instruction in violin was still an experiment. The rapid advancement of these classes has proven their worth until they are now considered a necessity. The outgrowth of this class work is to be seen in the combined grade school orchestra which appears on two days of the festival. Most of the violins in this orchestra learned to play in the violin clashes. The following numbers will be given by the class: Melody, Haydn; Soldiers' Song, Greenwald; Gay Companions, Mitchell; Remembrance, Greenwald; Lightly Row. There will also be one solo by Ruth Hamilton, a member of the class. Other numbers on Wednesday's program will be two numbers by the newly organized "B" orchestra from Richmond high school; two marches by the combined grade school orchestra and "The Awakening of Spring", a cantata, by a children's chorus from Starr, Warner, Sevastopol and Joseph Moore schools, numbering over 500 voices, accuuipameu uj mecomu neu graoe school orchestra. There will be a tableau during the performance of the cantata in which Lady Spring awakens and calls forth the daffodils and violets as symbols of spring. The tableau will also include eighteen fairies in costume, and this chorus of fairies will sing one song alone from their heavenly perch high above the chorus. The part of Lady Spring will be taken by Mildred Fox, the tiny pianist who scored heavily at the January concert of the combined grade school orchestra. Robin Hood, who blows his horn to awaken Lady Spring, is impersonated by Lena Reddington, the miniature cornetist of the , Reddington Trio. To accommodate this large chorus and orchestra a special stage has been built which covers nearly one third of the floor space of the Coliseum. MARKED RELAXATION PREVAILS IN POLITICAL CIRCLES OF GERMANY (By Associated Press) BERLIN, May 1. Marked relaxation from the tenseness of feeling which has prevailed the last few days was observable in German political circles today, now that the crisis ! raised by the allied ultimatum has been passed through acceptance of the allied terms by the ministry of Chancellor Wirth, organized to meet the emergency. Today had appeared in prospect as likely to prove one of the most mompntous in the history of the country, owing to the fact that the allied ultimatum was timed to expire at midnight tonight. With the question of aceptance settled in the affirmative two days in advance, however, the red lettering of the date had been totally erased from the calendar, and the day offered no probabilities of supplying unusual happenings, unless it might be in connection with the Upper Silesian disturbane. which is giving no little concern to Berlin official quarters. In domestic political cirles thought centered upon the probable term of life of the new cabinet and the question of the selection of a foreign minister to relieve Chancellor Wirth from performing the duties of that post, which he assumed temporarily when the new cabinet was organized.

Knowledge is bought by effort. It takes time and money to acquire it. Book lore makes a man learned. Knowledge of current events makes his opinion respected and sought. Experience makes his services valuable. And what does advertising do? It adds to his knowledge. It keeps him abreast of the times. Advertising teaches how to get the most in value and enjoyment at the least expenditure of what he has earned. The newspapers are a type-and-ink university. Read the advertisements regularly for knowledge that pays.
