POPULAR PRICES PLEASE Pupils of Portland High Schools1 In vited to Attend Friday Morn ins Rehearsals Preceding Monthly Concerts. Portland's season of Symphony Or chestra concerts opens next Sunday at 3 P. M. in the Auditorium. These con certs have now been, a feature of the city's life for six years and their con stantly increasing popularity and. at tendance would indicate a marked de velopment in general musical apprecia tion and enjoyment. This season, the experiment of offer ing 15-cent and 25-cent balcony seats will be tried. Judged by experience In other cities it should bring out a general attendance by hundreds who ordinarily would not be able to go at prices usually charged. The grand opera experiences of last week proved to the musical leaders that apprecia tion, of good music Is not confined to the purchasers of most expensive seats. - Manic Festival Enjoyed. The orchestra has been making rapid strides toward perfection during the past year, their artistic performances at the July music festival calling forth great praise from the Eastern soloists as well as very warm applause from the big audiences. As in past years, the Portland Sym phony Orchestra has invited the high school students of the city to attend Friday morning rehearsals just preced ing each monthly concert. Superin tendent Alderman plans on alternating the various high schools, two probably being given permission to attend each one, inasmuch as the capacity of the Auditorium is not sufficient for all high scnool students each time. This feature of the orchestra's work is most commendable, as a proper an preciation of good music is a part of the education to which all boys and girls are entitled. Opening Concert Sunday. Friends and acquaintances of Henry L. Bettman are much pleased and grati fied at the announcement of his selec tion as concert master for the opening concert of the Portland Symphony Or chestra, which occurs next Sunday at the Auditorium. Mr. Bettman is one of the pioneer violinists In the city, having come here direct from a long musical preparation in leading Euro pean musical centers. The arrangement of alternating concert masters seems to be a happy one, and has thus far been very satisfactory. WASTE TO BE UTILIZED garbage; suitable for animal feed to bb sold. Ordinance Passed Authorizing; Conser vation of Foodstuffs Hitherto Burned by City. Finding that hundreds of tons of use able foodstuffs are going into the fur naces at the city incinerator each week. City Commissioner Kellaher yesterday secured the passage of a ordinance authorizing its sale for reduction into feed for animals. He says several con cerns are willing to undertake the work. Mr. Kellaher points out that the move is one in the interest of food con servation. "The way tht plant has been run," said Mr. Kellaher yesterday, "this food, which consists of bread, bones, meat, vegetables, peelings and other stuff, has been burned. We have Government appeals asking for conservation along this line and I have heard from con cerns willing to undertake the salvage of this waste. "We plan to handle the proposition in a thoroughly sanitary manner. I be lieve that vast quantities of food cjan be saved and used for feed for chickens, hogs and other animals, thereby con serving food suitable for human con sumption.'' City Chemist Callaway made a study of conditions at the Incinerator some time ago and submitted a report show ing the food values of the material being burned. Soldiers Get Jelly. CENTRALIA, Wash..
