Percy, Grainger, the composer
lianist who recently enlisted as a I
irivate in the Fifteenth New Coast!
Vrtillery Band at Fort Hamilton, liasj
>een aptly described as a hunter. I
lis prey is the folk-song, his decoyj
lie phonograph.
The noted pianist has found that
i talking machine is his surest wea
>on for capturing primitive music, a
Sairsult in which he excels. The:
oung Australian artist has had |
nany unique experiences while,
racking the elusive folk-song. Once i
dr. Grainger was present when the
Maoris and the Rarotongas were I
laving a song and dance festival. I
'he Maoris and New Zealanders and!
he Karotongas and inhabitants of,
ine of the Cook Islands. Both tribes;
ndulged in the strange custom of j
hanting the name of their fathers, |
■eginning with the present genera- :
lon and going backwards. When
>oth tribes got several generations
ack in their chantings, they found
hat they were singing the same
ames. In other words, both tribes
lad once been members of the same I
ribe. Po great was the delight of
he Maoris upon making this dts
overy that they provided their less!
ortunate neighbors with clothes, ;n|
'hlch they were sadly lacking. The <
tarotongas in turn celebrated the'
vent by singing a hymn of thanks.

SATURDAY EVENING,
I STACCATO NOTES
I The last carillon concert in Ant
| werp took place on August 3, 1914
1 At Mechlin. Belgium, a carillon con
| cert was given on Monday, August
I 17, 1914. The numbers included "God
| Save the King"; "The Russian
Hymn"; "The Marseillaise" and "The
Lion of Flanders." Eight days later
Mechlin was bombarded and the set
of bells wrecked. On August 26 of
! the same year the famous Louvain
I carillon of forty-six bells was de
stroyed by the Germans, and later
l many others.
I "Jiway is one of the most enter-
I prising patriots in town."
| "What has he done?"
j "He has not only memorized 'The
| Star Spangled Banner.' but he now
; recognizes 'The Marseillaise' and the
| Russian national anthem as soon as
they arc played."
Cheerfulness is one of the graces
every artist should cultivate, and It
should be developed and increased.
! Mr. Grainger was f(#tunate in hav
ing his phonograph with him for he
was enabled to make a record of
, this song, which was an improvised
! chant sung by eight semisavages.
; Mr. Grainger regards this record as
one of the most priceless treasures in
his musical collection.
I A beautiful voice without emotional
I power in like a beautiful woman
I without wit.
It is stated that an eminent teacher
of the kettledrum gave a pupil his
first lesson on the instrument by
causing him to count live hundred
measures rest, while he (the profes
sor) read his newspaper, and then
charged him five dollars.
A soft expression of the eye can
never be accompanied by a hard ex
pression of the voice.
"I thought you said you could sing
at sight?" said the organist to the
choir applimant.
"Sure I can, Sorr, but not at first
sight," was the Dublin reply.
Why the phrase "public school mu
sic"? Is it different from other
music?
Out in the kest a schoolmarm was
discussing a coming orchestra con
cert with a musical acquaintance.
The discussion got warm. The mu
sical friend finally in exasperation
asked: "Do you know what a sym
phony orchestra is?" "I certainly
ought to," was the reply, "for my
brother sings in one."
There is no doll, re, mi in piano
music, violin music, organ music or
orchestra music. Why should it be
in vocal music?

EVERY FAMILY M
HAVE MU
The family dinner hour at home is
the sweetest in the whole day for
many people, perhaps the most. It is
the breathing space between the daily
routine and social duties or home
tasks. But pleasant as it is, a little
music will add to its cheer, its rest
fulness and its refining influence on
every member of the household.
A short program' of two or three
numbers can easily be provided on
any instrument the family possesses.
Where a player-piano or Viclrola is
available, the duties of director of
dinner music may be safely trusted
to almost anyone present. The sons
and daughters of the house should,
in fact, take turns at selecting pro
grams and assuming general respon
sibility; but where there are only
fionmechanical instruments, requiring
some skill in playing if the short
program is to be a success, the office
of director naturally seeks the best
musician in the household.
Let us emphasize short programs,
for a continuous performance of even
the best music would soon cast over
the intimate home event the atmos
phere of the 'hotel diningroom.
Besides, the family music director
might have to go dinnerless, .and
when he threw up the job there
might be no other applicants.
No general plan for conducting the
dinner music can be laid down that
will apply to all households, but the
method adopted by one suburban
family near New York has much to
recommend it. This house was so
arranged that the livingroom with its
Piano adjoined the diningroom and
was almost one with it when the por
tieres were opened. Helen, the young
est, aged thirteen and a music stu
dent of three years' standing, took
charge of the daily program.. As
soon as the soup course was over
she slipped away from the table and
played a simple, pretty little piece
for her elders. On her return the
next course awaited her on her plate
so that she had missed nothing but
the clearing away of the soup dishes
and the entry of the meat and at
tendant vegetables. For the second
and last number, which was always
an operatic selection or something
else beyond her own ability to ren
der, Helen employed the player at
tachment on the piano. Thus the
possibilities of her dinner music pro
grams were not limited to her own
laboriously-acquired repertoire but
included the whole range of the fam
ily s old and new, classic and popular
rolls and records. This number was
rendered directly after dessert.
Helen's family was quick to tell
the neighbors about their dinner mu
sicale, and now, at the evening" meal,
sweet sounds arise from scores of
homes in the town.

yesterday by Judge Martin J. Wade,
of Des Moines, on Mrs. Kate Richards
O'Hare, convicted of making utter
ances in a speech at Bowman, N. D..
last summer tending to discouraging
obedience to the military registra
tion.
The sentence followed a long speech
by Mrs. O'Hare, in which she reiterat
ed her opposition to war and defied
Federal Judge Wade to do his worst.
Witnesses at her trial testified that
Mrs. O'Hare declared in her speech at
Bowman that "mothers who raised
their sons to be cannon fodder were
no better than a farmer's brood sow,"
and that "young men who are foolish
enough to enlist or volunteer are only
good enough for German fertilizer."
Mrs. O'Hare was editor of a Social
ist paper in St. Louis and later went
on a lecture tour.
