Cheaper homes was the cry of President Roosevelt in his latest message to congress.

"They are doing j the same things here that they are in the east,” she stated. “I value I my training here very highly—and Mr. Underwood has done so much for me.” However, she finds that people in general—taking in all classes— accept music more readily in the eastern than western states. She explained that all classes of people seemed to show more merest in music,' and to demand more of their concerts.
