is not so far off in the past, how when we grew
a bit older and our young minds craved something
red-blooded and vibrant, something about ath- '
leties and the triumphs of diamond and gridiron
warriors, about the only thing available was a ,
mass of stories dealing with the heroes of Harvard
and Yale. Occasionally some bold writer, wish- '
ing, no doubt, to be very radical, would dash off
something about a Princeton hero. These, it ap-
peared, were the only educational institutions
which really produced athletes; their football
games the only contests of the kind worthy to
be immortalized; their track meets only compar-
able to those mighty games held at the funeral ,
of Patroclus in which demi-gods took part. Other 1
colleges there might be, but we had to look for i
them in the catalogues. In the athletic literature (
of the day abided but these three, Yale, Harvard )
and Princeton, and the greatest of these was Yale. ,

Next sprfg the ribal leader, whose name Was
not preserved in history, discovered that some
types of covers stood the weather test better than
others and that certain timbers interlocked in
certain ways offered the greatest resistance to
the wind. He called the wise men together to se-
lect a design for future use, so that his primitive
craftsmen could obtain the best result. And thus
we discover the origin of craftsmanship.
The tribe grew in strength and wisdom and
crude agriculture added to their stores. The ruler
of the original “Ginks” found that the absence
of rain ruined his crops, so he had his followers
harry many stones to the river and deposit them
on the bank. And when a mountain of stone was
on the bank, he cut into a large stone a rough
design of how a dam should be made and the
tribesmen busied themselves in following this plan
and t dam was built, the fields were flooded and
gret crops repaid their toil.

The Fonzaley quartet which will ap-
pear at the Majestic Theater on Fri-
day Dec. 8, has aroused intense inter-
est among the lovers of good music in
Austin and Travis County. The com-
parative ease with which tickets can
be purchased has added to the interest.
The prices for the concert will range
from 50 cents to 82.00. Seats are now
on sale at the Reed Music Store.
For years many artists of every na-
tionality have sought to live part of
the year in Switzerland on the shore
of Lake Loman or, as it is more often
called, Lake Geneva. When E. J. de
Coppet of New York built hie villa near
Iausanne, he, too. chose the language
of the countryside and called it "Flon-
zaley," the original name of the prop,
erty upon which it was built, "llon."
In the Vdois dialect, means river*
and "Flonzaley, being the diminutive,
might then be translated ‘ brooklet.”
For years Mr. de Coppet, at hS home
in New York had given informal even-
ings of enamber music, in which a
hiring quartet, engaged for the pur.
pose, and Mrs de Coppet. a pianist of
marked ability, took part. Th* first
violin of thia organisation gave up hi*
position in 1802, and Mr. de Coppet,
being in Switzertand, asked his friend.
Alfred Ponchon, to take the place thus
vacated. Thereupon. Mr. Ponchon re-
linquished his position at the Royal
Conservatory of Brussels, and on arri-
vaj in America, found himself asso-
elated with three musicians of high
dispositiom ana we think he is entitled
to .the. nominatiqn as the boss opti-
mist. We are willing te admit, in the
bargain, that his optimism is well
founder.

When the world was young and prinitive man
developed ills not understood by his tribesmen,
the wise members gradually developed a plan of
inquiry as to the cause.
Prudent members of the tribe had discovered
that eating eertain fruit, roots or herbs produced
certain definite effect on the body. By the erude
system of that day it took much time and many
experiments to obtain remedies to counteract the
ills with traceable causes.
It soon became apparent that a system of paci-
fication must be employed for those suffering
from ills whose causes could not be definitely de-
termined nor for which cures could be concocted.
Here fraud entered the medieal profession and
the "medicine man” became a power in his tribe,
for he sb rounded himself in mystery, from whene»
he has never emerged.
With the development of man also came his
responsibility for woman and to her can we trace
the development of flimsy construction. At first
man was content to house his mate in the caves
and under the cliffs, provided by nature, regard-
less of the location of the hunting grounds. He
guarded the entranee to hie abode by the simple
method of stacking stones to retard or prevent
attack.
An original soul named Gink decided that it
was useless waste of energy for him to march his
wife from the cliffs to the hunting grounds at
dawn and then drill her home at dusk, n one
bright spring morning this pioneer, who had eh-
served that birds built nests of twigs and tree
climbing animals built homes of plaited fibre ned
sticks, decided to get nearer the hunting gcom t«,
and made a crude hut in the forest many mil s
from the cliffs. And to this day those whose abeiln
ie remote from the populous areas are termed
"Ginks." One by one the tribesmen followed hie
example and improvements in construction soon

become well known conductors.
Mr. Ponchcn advised Mr. d® Coppet
to find four men who could devote their
entire time to quartet playing. Mr. de
Coppet promised to pay the expenses
of the enterprise, ami in the spring of
1903 Mr. Punchon, filled with hope,
wrole his friends in th® Conservatory
of Music, and other great artists of his
acquuintance, asking their help in se-
curing the proper men for his organi-
zation. Joachim. Yaaye. Thomson, Ca-
en le, Jacques Thibaud and others at
that type were enthusiastic over the
plan, and gave their heal advice and
encouragement. The result was that
Adolfo Betti, at that time instructor
under Cesar Thomson, and proessor at
the Royal Consewvatory at Brussels,
relinquished his post to devote himself
exclusively to quartet playing with the
ne w organisation, and Ugo Ara, who
was working at composition in Vienna,
permanently ave up his instrumeat-
the violin -to take the viola part.
Searching for a cellist, the three ap-
pealed to Victor Vreuls, alsofa class-
mate, and now a well known composer
and director at the Conservatory of
Luxemburg. He warmly recommended
hia fellow-countryman. Iwan d’Arch-
ainbeau, who was, he said, "as good a
cellist bi he was good fellow. ’ whici
is saying a great deal
The four musicians having been
found, It was decided they shouid meet
at "Flonzaley," Mr. de Coppet’s Swiss
home, in the summer of 1M1. There
amongst numerous things diac rinsed
i nd decided the quartet took the name
of the place where they first foregath-
ered and arranged to spend ths ensu-
ing winter in Vienna. Nor- 1, 1903,
found them together in the Austrlan
eapitoL in the fall of 1964, after its
first European tour, the quartet ar-
rived for th® first time in the United
States, and continued to work daily
with great ardor, playing only for Mr.
de Coppet and hi* friends, or giving
occaslonal charity concerts at Mr de
Coppet’s request. It bring one of his
ideas taht no long as the quartet ex-
isted. It should play only for charity.

A corfereuce of state experts and

disclosed the fact that the source at
contamination of the Austin water sup-
ply ha® not been definitely located. It
bas been established that the Colorado

less polluteo, but the engineers arej
convinced th.t there is a local contam-
1 nation whieh it is important to reach
and eradicate.

stated tnat a preliminary report cov-
ering the wor done by the siate health
department dorng the last two months
will be submitted about December 1.
with the relommendation that the
search be presecu.ed until the source
of ihe ■ rouble is definitely established.
The city officlals replied that this was
their desire, ard that they had so ex-
pressed themeelves in the beginning,
agreeing to i ear all reasonable ex-
penses incurred
Arthur A. Stiles, state levee and
drainage commissioner, suggested that
the United S’at vs geologic survey
might be induced to take up the prob-
lem and an effort may be made to see
what can be done in this direction.'

consulting enz'neer of Oklahoma City,
and Pref. E. C. H. Han tel, of the Uni-
versity. has been Called in by Mr. Eh-
lers to chech up his survey and give
the council the benefit of their con-
clusions. They all were in agreement
as to the proD abilities in the case an-
in the ronviction that the matter should
be followed to a conclusion.
It is recognized that the closets along
the bluff above the sand beach, and the
surface filth of the Clarkesville neigh-
borhood which washes onto the beach
through a stream which traverse* the

ably sources of pollution, especially
since the flow of the stream mentioned

following its channel to th® river as

en "All-American" team without a Yale man on
the first eleven and with but one on the second.
Looking over the reeords of last year and thia
year it appears that there is but one football team
which Ysle and Harvard can safely count on beat-
ing each year and that team is that of Princeton,
the other “big” college.
These last two years have been a terrible strain
upon our confidence in those favorite authors of
cur youth. We are beginning to believe that, like
the compilers of the old school readers, they didn't
cover enough territory; that perhaps ail the great
athleteado not go to Yale or Harvard or Prince-
ton any more than all the great authors draw their
earliest breaths within easy interurban distance
ot Boston.
And we long for a change; tor some wonderful
story of Northwestern; some idyl of Michigan;
some classie tale of love and courage at Chicago.
Give, us, .ye writers, more about the clear-eyed
girdiron heroes of Missouri, of Nebraska, of old
Texas. Spin us a yarn of the hero of that little
college eleven from Waco which has about won
the southwestern conferenee championship; tell
ns a tale of the great old boys who played on
•Texas’ undefeated teama, or carried the colors of
A. and M. to victory. There is enough of romance
west of the Delaware to provide material for some
refreshing changes from the old type of athletic
story which began with the statement that “The
traditions of—(Yale, Harvard, Princeton) were
at-stake," and wound up with the happy heroine
fainting in the arms of some player on one of
the three teams which appeared to constitute the
entire football world. ".

“A Field of Battle for Sale” waa the unique
heading of an advertisement in a Paris newspa-
per recently. The text was aa follows: "Twen-
ty-five seres of land, furrowed by German and

of the Somme, north of the Fameaur Woods and
southeast of Martinpuich—for sale. Addrems, etc.”
The best appeal which could lie made in behalf
of the Y. W. C. A. campaign for funds would be
en invitation to look into the record of what has
been accomplished here by that organization. Al-
most everybody is in favor of the thinga for which
the Y. W. C. A. stands, and it is necessary only
to call the attention of the average man to these
things to secure his aid for the association.
The Y. W. C. A. in Austin provides clean, com-
fortable lodgings and a cultured, Christian en-
vironment for working girls. As nearly aa that
i possible, it gives to the girl who works all the
advantages of a refined home. Academic, religious
and domestic instruction is also provided. Fur-
ther, the health of the girls is looked after and
exercise is provided and made attractive. The
working girl is given opportunities for the en-
joyment of clean sports which she otherwise could
not have and is advised by competent physical
instructors.
The time has been in Austin, as in every other
city of any size, when the girl who worked, es-
pecially the girl from another town, had to en-
dure living conditions more or less distasteful.
There are not so many girls here now earning
salaries sufficient to do more than pay for ordi-
nary board and ordinary lodging The Y. W. C. A.
not only provides girls with food and lodging at
reasonable rates, but with bright, sane companion-
ship and healthy recreation
All this is worth a great deal and it isn’t neces-
sary to make a tearful plea to convince the busi-
ness and professional men of the city that it is
worth a great deal. Just the plain facta about
the work already done here by the Y. W C. A.
are sufficient to raise a much larger fund than
is being asked for to carry on that' work.
