A. In time, Italian opera came to be singing concert. Instead of expressing the dramatic, « of the words, all sorts of, hingless arias and trills were in- pd in the score. As the people demanded no better, the composers wrote no better. A famous writer of this period was Rossini (1792-1868), His masterpieces were The Barber of Seville’ and “Willlam Tell,’ The former work remains to this day a perennial favor- ite in the operatic repertoire, his faith in Republican potency got lost. Senator Gooding of Idaho says he'd like to build a tariff wall so high “that there would be an embargo against every foreign-made article that can be manufactured in this country.” That's the kind of good old primeval Pro- tectionist we like.

HE following query appeals glad to try to answer it. sure that for one who has had ask it, millions have thought it, To the Editor of The Evening © Would you please inform me to us. We are Because we are the courage to orld: through your columns how @ band leader directs a band with all the members of the band reading their music and never watching the leader, EVENING WORLD READER, In the first place, don’t be too sure that, even while reading the music, each member of the band is not watching the leader out of the tail of his eye. Long practice makes them skilled at doing this—also at looking up from time to time just when they need to catch the beat. There are usually players whose intermittent parts in a given piece require them to keep an eye on the conductor to know when to “come in.” If such a player “comes in” too soon or too late he is pretty certain to be forcibly rm’ inded, after the concert, what the conductor is there for. Remember this, too: When the leader is tak- ing his band through a selection at a public con- cert, it is not the first time Nobody know? how often he has sweated them through it in whole and in part at rehegysals, to drill them to his time may still find it triumphant. An indepen- dent and self-reliant people may be overcome by the fortunes of war, but time fights on their side to final victory.
