J. Marlon. a a Tho editorial or the Mcdford Mall Trlbuno ot lost evening contained this sentence: "Never lose faith or become- discouraged with your honK town and county, K it is Oregon. ' That la indeed the spirit to apply to everything that concerns our city, our state, our conntry. Courage and faith, coupled with activity. Is manifested in progression. Mr. Business Man, Isn't there a pro gression which does not primarily Insure the inpourlng of dollars, and yet products a very real, very Inv portant and necessary capital? While it may seem from one view point that conditions nru discourag ing, take another and closer look and ono might seo only a jierlod ot ad justment eventually terminating and producing better conditions than be fore the chemicalization, so to speak. Perhaps because she does not hear so much street talk, perhaps because she may not know Just how things stand Or perhaps for her own strict ly feminine reason, "Just because." the woman takes the more hopeful view, and although not buying or selling real estate or building fac tories and starting pay rolls, en deavors to promote .expansion ami progression in those things, wlthou' which no community can achieve last ing prosperity. Those who know anything about women's civic duos will understand wnat Is meant. All of which Is a curtain-raiser, is this article Is supposed to be a re port ot the lsst meeting ot tho mu sical department ot tho Greater Mcdford club, which was a bang-up booster and get-together affair, ex cusing idioms. The program was a distinct depar ture from the usual, the best thing about It being the atmosphere ot mu tual harmony and unity ot thought nd purpose. Tao subject, "Amerl can Music," presented by Mrs. Alan Bracklnrecd, was a strong appeal to Join tho "Mado In America" move ment In regard to tho art. The feel In ir excited by Mrs. Bracklnrecd' very comprehensive article was ono of excusable prtdo and aamzement at the Idea of our own musical re sources; resources to rich, varied and plentiful. Quoting from tho Burgomaster "We got plenty, moro as plenty, moro as wo could use." Among other points brought out by Mrs. Bracklnrced was explanation ot tho philosophy of ragtime. Thanks to an article In the Literary Digest, wo "find we have a perfect right to onjoy popular music to our hearts' YOU HAVE BEEN WANTING TO TRY A GAS RANGE IN YOUR HOME, BUT DID NOT WISH TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE GAS RANGE WITHOUT FIRSTvENOWING SOMETHING OF THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED BY ITS USE.

The soul of ragtime Is syncopa tion, which a musical dictionary de fines as "a chnngu of rhythm so nf tected ns to be agreeably confusing.' Tho notes In syncopated time seem to be rushing and tumbling In a passion to gut there before each' other. Rngtlmn Is Indeed the folk music ot the United States. To get no mo piano Just a little ahead ot "tho other fellow" Is our most no tlceablo characteristic. The younger talent ot Mcdford was mostly used in tho program for Monday after noon. Miss Hance, Mm. Ln.Mnr, Mr. Fish and Dr. Howard gave four quar tet numbers and mado a hit without half trying. "Miss Gray seemed to have had an Inspiration, her Inter pretation of the three MacDownll numbers wcro artistic and satisfying. Miss Caroline Andrews In the Cad man number sang with the expres sion ono might expect from a worn nn of 3B, hardly from a girl still enjoying school day. Tho remain Ing numbers were readings by Miss Minnie Jackson, n talented pupil of Mrs. Wilson, and selections by th Mcdford Orchestral club. Miss Jac. son's encore was a clever child solil oquy by James Whltcomb Riley. Mrs. Isaacs Introduced Uie orchestra In a short talk, disclosing Its purpose and relation to expansion In music In our city. The program closed with the Star Spangled Banner, played by the orchestra, tho audience rising and "Joining In on tho chorus." SOCIALIST STRIKE NETS $800,000 DAILY LOSS URUSSKI.S, April 12.

Pub. by Houghton Mltflln Co. In his speech nn ItnmlRrntUm some years nr.o, Senator Ilevorldgo ll that America had he-camu such u wonderful nation because "It Is mado up of tho optimism ot tho old world." Mary Antln In u most Interesting way, follows, step by step, the phrase of nn old world optimist, who still has enough energy loft, after gener ations of political, and religious op pression, to desire to better his own lire and that of hla children. Ho comes to America Tho Promised Land "whore opportunity waits on ambition," and through the story one can see how some of America's best citizens nre made. It take uu Mused, unhappy orphan to appreciate tho kindness and ndv.nn tages ot a good hemu: and It tnkes tho adopted child from n stifling old world government to appreciate the freedom ami advantages of America. The native horn American Is woeful ly lacking In patriotism In compar ison with these steerage products, who have fled from persecution, pov erty and Injustice Id a country that Ignores nn Inequality of men that utters nil of her host gifts to those who nre willing to strive for thorn. Wo Americans are proud of our In comparable government, wo may feel a thrill at the sight of our national emblem, we may look with pride buck over tho pages ot our history, but do many of us feel really feel what this little Jewish girl felt when sho first heard of George Washington and other heroes that fought for the freedom that wo tiro enjoying today? "What more could American ghe a child? Ah, much mure! As I read how the patriots planned tho revolution, and tho women gave their sons to dlo In battle, and the heroes led to victory, and tho rejoicing people set up the republic. It dawned on ma gradually what una meant by 'My Country.' Tho people all desir ing noble things, and striving for them togethor, defying their oppres sors, giving their lives for each other all this It was that made '.My Country.' " I knew that one could say 'My Country and feel It. ns one felt God. 'fho coun try was for alt citizens and ( was a cltlzon and when "vistood ul ,0 BmB 'America' I shouted the words with all my might. I was In very earnest proclaiming my love for my now found country." In contrast for tho expressed -love ho hold for Amorlcn, Is the resent ment that she harbors for Russia. "Kven a child." ho says, "would would know how to huto the flag that wo were forced on pain of sovuro penalties to hoist abovo our house tops in colobratlon of tho advent of ono of our oppressors. And as It was with the counrty and tho flag, so It was with heroes of war. Wo hated' the uniforms of the soldier to tho last brass button. On tho pur son of the gentile It was tho symbol of trnnny, on the person of tho Jew ft was tho emblem of shame." Tho first half or this book by Mary Antln gives an Interesting account or Uvea or tho Jews who live "boynud the pale," in northern Russia. The n habits, (ho euslonin mid the religion among these people are explained In detail, To the ambitious llttln Jewish girl, thirsting ror knowledge, who wits de nied nn education In Russia, tho pub. He schools und libraries or America appealed more than any other thing In her adopted land. What eared sho that Iter homo In this wonderful now land was In tho slums sho could get bonks to tend, und learn tho same thing lit school that the wealthiest girls In tho laud learned. Her descriptions of the slums nnd tho uninviting .tenement that shel tered her, and tho studies' of the people who were bur neighbors In these plnrou nro entirely different from tho sordid pictures thnt wo linvo had from other pens. And we realize that they nro tuld by an "Insider" and not by a mere tpectutor. Hho sees the conditions thnt taint, both from a hyglonle and moral view point, and In paying a high tribute to the Salvation Army nnd the settle ment workers, she, who uuilerstnuds tho need of these poor creatures of tho tenement districts, gives some advice to those people who nro ear nestly trying to belter conditions that Is worthy or grnvo consideration, in a plea ror more public piny-grounds, she sa)B. "Tho City Father provide, soap and water for tho slums In the form of oxcolont schools, kindergar tens and branch libraries; thoy cleanse and discipline the children's minds, but their bodies they pitch Into tho gutter. Tho body Is tho nursery of the soul. Tho Instrument of our moral develop ment. We are certainly not taking tho moral to lioorl when we try to make a hero out of the boy by such foreign appliance as gram mar and algebra., While utterly des pising the fittest Instrument for his uplirtlng the body's own body." "Tho Promised lnnd" U surely nn extraordinary book. At first It seems to be nothing more than the slmpln story of a Jewish girl who ennui to America. You reud of her Ideas, her life, hor ambitions and her education nnd find thorn so entertain ing thnt you do not fully realise until )ou 1invn completed tho story Hint j op have been reading a most won derful book. Have you.ecr noticed tlmt a for eign born person who has studied tho Hugllsh language, after he has over como the tendency of his native ac cent, speaks a purer and bettor Kug llih than the native horn Americans or Kngllsh do? With on unconscious careful selection of words each thought In this book Is expressed simply and forcefully tho result of knowing tho value or common words. The authoress had something to tell, and shn told It so well nnd without affection, thnt If ono rends tho first paragraph ho will be curious to road moro. "I wus born, I havo lived ami I have been made, over," Is the first sentence in the Introduction. Now doesn't It tompt you to follow tho narration of the process of this hu man transformation?

"Between Two Tlileto" by Ulehurd Delinu. Pub, by Stokes, In 1NRI, during tho Crimean war, Nicholas, (he Tsar or Itumla mild of Huglnnd, which wiih tho ally of Franco, "Though Austria desert niu and Prussia play tho knave, I have three allies Pestilence, (limner nnd Cold that havo noser yet failed to servo a Russian Tsar. As for Kug land between Lojils Napoleon Ileum npnrte und her nnny contractor she will et cllnih hor caUery with, her cross uu her shoulder. Wo shall see hor crucified between two thieves ' And this Is the pith ot the moi;t re markable iitory that has been written by u woman, (for Richard Dehnn serves us u mask for Clothlldo tlrao) In many years Tho first five chapters or the hook constitute n beautiful, dellcalu por trait ot an old man -Hector Duno Isso. The rest of tho hook Is made up of the past life und tho remlii Iscouncs or this gentle, interesting Invalid, and it has principally to do with the rise or 1oiiIr Napoleon Run npjrte und the details or tho Crimean war. It Is Impossible to give tho outline or this story In n limited iipnce Fur there urn enough Ideas and materials used In this book to divide up Into several distinct stories It Is wr Inlnly not n "one Idea" book Tho main Idea Is curried out with the master mind ot a mail, and all tho subordinate Ideas nre cared ror with tho distinctive love of detail that Is peculiar to the fepilnluo mind. There Is nn Intimate study ot Louis Napoleon, nn Interesting version of life In the French oupltol during his reign, and there Is a most vivid por trait of an lutrlguelng French bounty Henrlette do Roux who reminds us of some of llalsac's heroines Tlmi on KugllHh soil wo meet Mr. Thomp son Juwull. the army c.uitttictor, who piled up untold wealth by soiling spoiled rood stuffs nnd rotten hn and other things of u like quality to the Rugltsh iirmy; also his son, the Idol of the schemelug old limn, and u Josh llorotlnn. trouper, who Is brought Into the story with bis troubles nnd Joys to bring out In re lief tho misery and tho cruelty en dured by tho rotumon soldier during war. In "Ado Merllng," 'ho girl who gives ii(i wealth and luxury to become a nurse und who did such noble work on the battlefields of Crimea, the render recognizes Florence Nlghttn gnlc. Through the various well written chaptora runs the thread of tho beau tiful romance of Hector Duuolsc. "Ilotwocn Two Thieves" Is n worthy successor of that other splen did book, "Ono Braver Thing." by tho same author. With Medford trade Is Medford made.
