PLECTRUM ORCHESTRA
GIVES FIRST CONCERT
Unlquo but Highly Interesting

Hall La Monacathe Leader
Doctor Poole to Lecture
Dr. Frederick Poole, Into of the Edu
cational Corps, A. 11. V., will give an
illustrated lecturo on "With the Yanks
on Leave In T'ngtand nnd France," at
"VVitherepoon Hall this evening.
first, it must be explained that a
"plectrum orchestra" Is an organlw
Hon mado up of Instruments which nro
"plucked": that is, mandolins, man-
dolas, mando-ccllos, mando-basscs,
guitars: In fact, nil the Instruments
which are lilayed by picking the Btrlngs
either with n plectrumior tho fingers,
from tho piccolo mandolin up to the
huge mando'basso, which Is the sire
of a contra -bass. In addition to these,
Mr. T,b Monacn, the conductor nnd
second flute of the Philadelphia Orches
tra, in the concert In Witherspoon Hull
last evening augmented his forces
with the woodwinds, tho horns and the
trumpets of the same organization.
The Plectrum Orchestra is a musical
body well known In Italy, but not gen
erally known ns a musical possibility
outside of that country. Therefore
last evening's concert was r novelty In
I'hlliidelphia, entirely nsldo from the
fact that seme Tcry charming niuslc was
finely rendered.
Tho most ambitious number on the
program consisted of two movements
from the Meethoven Symphony In O
major (No, 1). and it was given In n
manner surprisingly close to the original
erslon. The reading of the conductor,
of course, showed his familiarity with
the work, nnd the plucked instrument
which nlayed the string parts did
amazingly well.
At. flip Miimn time. It nan in a minia
ture suite. "Marinesca," for tile

orchestra nnd is a charming bit of
music. It has the atmosphere of Italy,
but is constructed on definite archi
tectural lines and Is a fine piece of part
writing ns well as an equally fine bit of
melodic Invention. The third movement,
where the melody lies In the mandolas
(tenor voice) with n waving accom
paniment in the upper voices Is the
finest movement of the four, but all aro
good and some effects are produced
which am impossible with the ordinary

All In nil, the concert proved to be
a delightful novelty. Mr. I. a Monacn

parently looked with exceeding care.

The Last Corn
When you end your corn with BIuc
jay, it will be the last corn you let grow.
You will know how to stop the pain.
And how to quickly and completely
end all corns.
There arc millions who use Blue
jay now, and they never let a corn
remain.
The new-day way
Blue-jay is the new-day way, the
scientific method.
It was perfected in a laboratory
world-famed for its surgical dressings.
It is supplanting the many treat
ments which are harsh and inefficient.
It has made paring as ridiculous
as it is unsafe, for paring doesn't
end corns.
Do this tonight:
Apply to a corn a Blue-jay plaster
or liquid Blue-jay whichever you
prefer.
Mark how the pain stop3. Then
wait a little and the corn will loosen
and come out.
HAB1IJ9
What that corn does all corns will
do. Some 20 million corns a year
are ended in this way.
Don't flutter corns. Don't have
your feet disfigured. They can be
ended almost as easily as a dirt-spot
on your face. They are just as inex
cusable. Don't forget this. It means too
much to you.
Ask your druggist for Blue-jay. ,.

Building Troubles
"Wo certainly do need new buildings," said
a Philadelphia manufacturer, "but with strikes,
and hold-ups, and car shortages, and delays,
and troubles of all sorts, I wonder if it isn't
easier to get along without them."
"Well," said another, "I was reading last
night what old Dr. Johnson said about mar
riage. 'Though matrimony may have many
pains,' he said, 'yet celibacy has but few pleas
ures.' We certainly do havo lots of trouble
getting new buildings, but without them we
don't get much satisfaction or much profit,
either. I've tried both ways."
Building now does involve trouble lots of
it. But you won't get rid of trouble by stand
ing still and doing nothing. Turn on more
power and go ahead. We have an organization
that can help you greatly in getting lumber
supplies, and keeping your operations going.
Wo are getting so used to strikes that we
hope soon to be strike-proof.
Some day you'll build. If you want the
work finished on time, see that the lumber
conies from LLOYD.

The
Lumber-Yard
Strike
i'roi i the Viewpoint of the Employers
About two weeks ago the men em
ployed in Philadelphia lumber-yards
struck for 25 per cent more pay for
teamsters and truck-drivers, and GG per
cent more for lumber-handlers.
Of course, building was quickly
brought to a stand-still.
The employers offered $3.00 a week
advance all around, and most of the men
had this extra .$i.00 in their pockets
when the strike was ordered.
Since April, 191G, the wages of all
the men had been more than doubled.
Most of the old employees wanted to
accept the increase offered and go back
to work; but the union aid No. Its
leaders want something else besides
higher wages, they want the "closed
shop," that is, to shut out of employment
all but union men. They want to force
into the union the lumber-handlers, most
of whom have not heretofore been mem
bers. As soon as the employers understood
this, they said all together, "Nothing
doing!'' They withdrew their offer to
the union, and refused to deal with it
further. That is where they stand to
day, and where they expect to stand
until the end of the chapter.
We arc always ready to deal with our
own men, and our offer to them is still
open ; but we do not intend to be forced
to discharge faithful and trustworthy
employees, or to have them forced to join
the union under the covert threat that
some unpleasant "accident" may happen
to them if they don't.
