TEACHING CHILDREN MUSIC.
Descriptive music, music which is
imitative or which tells a definite
story, helps to develop the power of
attention in little children:
An excellent record of descriptive
music is “In a Clock Store” Victor
(85324). Tell the following story: “In
a small shop on a busy street are
kept ever so many kinds of clocks—
cuckoo clocks, grandfather clocks,
alarm clocks, small clocks and ordinary
sized clocks. A very happy boy works
in this shop. He comes early in the
morning, and as he sweeps and dusts,
the people passing by hear him whistle
a merry tune.
“Sometimes the clatter of his wood-
en shoes is heard above the ticking
and the striking of the clocks on the
shelves. The clocks in this store are
real clocks—they tick and strike, they
run down and need to be wound up;
The cuckoo clock tells the hour of the
day; even the alarm clocks are not
silent.
“The little boy works all day long
until the clocks strike four. Then he
locks the store, runs home to play and
doesn’t return until the next day.”
Play the record and ask the chil-
dren to listen for the story, but do not
expect them to get it all the first time
they hear it. Little people enjoy tell-
ing this story in their own words, to
family friends not familiar with the
music. :
The “Toy Maker's Shop,” Victor
(55054) and “The Whistler and His
Dog” (A 2654 C or Vie. 17380) are
other records which necessitate care-
ful listening in order to recognize all
the sounds imitative of the toys kept
in the shop. Let the children im-
agine their own pictures this time, and
after the record is played let them
tell which toys and animals they
heard.
Little neople are interested in Teddy
Bears, so naturally, “Of a Tailor and a
Bear” (Victor 18598) a selection with
bear growls, appeals to their imagina-
tion. After playing the record, the
children may tell the story which the
music suggests to them; or they may
tell it through paper cutting, drawing
or crayon work.
Whistling records are excellent be-
cause the melody is so distinct. “Birds
of the Forest and Spring Voices”
(both on Vietor 16835) are good imi-
tations of the sounds of nature. The
bird songs will be recognized imme-
diately.
“The Bee” (Victor 64197 or 77899—
Columbia) should be familiar to ev-
ery child. It represents the buzzing
fromm flower to flower in search of
of the busy little bee as she hurries
honey. Ask the children how the bee
music tells the bee story.
Another descriptive record which
appeals to the imagination is “Dance
of the Wood Nymphs” (Victor 16891).
It suggests a lovely forest in fairy-
land. Let the children imagine their
own pictures of this record.
Contrast “Happy Days March” (Vic-
tor 17254), and “Dance of the Wood
March,” (Victor 17164.) Play these
records and let the children discover
the differences in the music.
The habit of playing a little music
at the bedtime hour is a happy solu-
tion for many problems; it quiets
children, forestalls the naughty pranks
which are generally caused by overex-
citement and prevents consequent
scolding. “Music hath charms,” and
the little people should have a happy
ending to their day. There are many
beautiful bedtime songs, such as “The
Traumerei” (Victor 18049). Two beau-
tiful lullabies are “Sleep, Little Baby
of Mine” and “Slumber Sea,” both
on Victor (17212). Eugene Field’s
“Wynken, Blynken and Nod” (Victor
64219) is another. Two others,
“Mammy’s Song” and “Pickaninny’s
Lullaby” (both on Victor 17039) will
pe enjoyed more if the children know
the Uncle Remus stories by Joel C.
Harris.
~ With the use of such songs and
instrumental phonographic music as
is suggested above, the home lessons
in music can be no other than de-
lightful and educative. Parents will
become acquainted with the musical
tendencies of their children; a new
world of beauty will be opened to the
impressionable young minds so eager
for musical experiences, and family
life will become more intimate and
beautiful through the socializing in-
fluences of good music.
This is the season of plenty for
ripening fruit, wild cultivated in or-
chard, garden, field and forest. Na-
ture spreads her abundance with lav-
ish hand for the sons of men to gath-
er and consume. These hot days
nothing is more conducive to good
health than to keep our tables well
supplied at every meal with fresh,
ripe fruits that do not need to be
cooked to make them fit for use and
palatable.
Put a few drops of turpentine on
the wrapping paper in which you put
your furs for the summer and you
will not be troubled with moths.
Do not have too much heavy food at
one meal. A heavy meal should not
be followed by a heavy dessert, but
rather by a light one, and vica versa.
Do not repeat the same flavor in
the same meal. Example: If you have
tomato souwn, do not have tomatoes
served in any other way for that meal.
Do not repeat too often the same
food prepared in the same way. For
instance do not have mashed potatoes
every day. Prepare them in some
other way the second day, and so on.
more frequently if they are prepared
The same food materials may be used
in various ways.
Compared with meat it has the ad-
vantage of being able to keep long
in storage and contains much food in
a small volume. A pound of cheese
supplies more than twice as much en-
ergy as a pound of fowl or round
steak, and almost twice as much pro-
tein as the same amount of fowl or
ham. Cheese, therefore, is usually
a cheaper food than the meats.

ORVISTON.
Mrs. John Hume, Sr., who has been
visiting relatives in New York State,
was called home by the death of her |
son’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary V.
Shearer, who has long been a beloved |
friend. Mrs. Hume has made four!
different trips to her native State in |
the last seven years, and has found |
a friend or relative gone each time |
she returns. She says she will ey
|
away the next time.
Victor Graydon and Mrs. R. Isa-
bella Croll were united in marriage |
July 17th, 1920, at Williamsport. The
wedding was quiet, owing to the re-
cent demise of Mrs. Graydon’s moth-
er, Mrs. Mary V. Shearer. Mr. Gray- |
don is a sterling young man, and |
quite deserving the splendid woman |
who has become his bride. Their
many friends are united in wishing
them a long and happy married life.
May all their trials be “little ones,”
with no dark clouds to mar their joy. .
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Del- |
bert P. Barnhart met at the home of |
Mrs. Barnhart’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Shawley, Monday evening
and tendered their respects in the
form of a miscellaneous shower. The
gifts were many and useful, and in
several instances of value. Relda
says it seems her friends are bound |
she shall work, for neariy all the ap-:
pliances of an up-to-date home laun-
dry were in evidence. She was the re- |
cipient of three rolling pins, and as- |
sured Delbert he would have to be
good or she would play Maria Pickle- !
weight to his Enoch. As Delbert is a |
big chap, and his wife is not at all |
large, we are wondering if he will!
be at all alarmed. Those present |
were Mr. and Mrs. Shawley, parents |
of the young wife, and Mr. and Mrs. |
William Barnhart, parents of the.
young husband; Mr. and Mrs. Ola Cy- |
phert, Mr. and Mrs. Blair Shawley, :

Piling Up Happiness
Does each year find you wishing and
hoping for better things in the future
—and regretting lack of accomplish-
ment in the past?
There is one sure way to fill your
horn of plenty to the brim with all the
good things of life. It entails no sac-
rifice now. It merely means the form-
ing of a good habit.
Save! That good old formula for suc-
cess is as true now as when it helped
build the fortunes of our pioneer rail-
road builders, manufacturers and pro-
moters.
Applying it on a small scale in your
own way will bring you results in pro-
portion. Open a bank account with us
and we will help you save.

Today the square is crowd-

there are moderate-pricecars.
Every U. S. Tire is just

how to build.

Whatever the size of your
car, the service you get out
of U. S. Tires is the same.
It isn’t the car, but the man
who owns the car, that sets
the standard to which U.S.
tires are made.
Anybody who tells you that
owners of moderate-price.
cars are not interested in the
quality of their tires has

them.
