PHILIPS. ? ? A wind came up out of the sea. And paid. "O Mist, make room for me." It hailed the ships, and cried. "Sail on. Ye mariners." th*e night is gone." And hurried landward, far away, Crying. "Awak^, it is the day!" ?Longfellow. Verily, it is the day! The red mists of hatred and strife are be ing dissipated.?the night of Ig norance is .gone.?intelligence once more rules the peoples of the world! To us now comes music, with its solace and inspiration, to aid us in regaining that sane and wholesome outlook on life which is our birth right. To the lover of music, all of nature's many voices are musical. The son? of the bird calling to its mate; the rustle of the corn, the whispering of th<* winds through sky-tossed tree tops?all are music ?all parts of the Divine harmony. And no small part in the musical education of America is played by those who have imprisoned for us on imperishable records the cur rent music of the day. No home is now too humble to feel the uplift ing and brightening influence of music? no one too poor but what he may be cnriched with a knowl edge of those tunes, both sacred and secular, which are so inextric ably bound up with the world's progress. Yes. the day has come, as Long fellow says: It said unto the forest. "Shout! Hanp all your leafy banners out!** It touched the wood-bird's folded wing. And said. "O bird, awake and sing " And o'er the farms. "O Chanticleer, Tour clarion blow; the day is near." It whispered to the fields of corn, "Bow down, and hail the coming morn."

PRINCETON PLAYERS TO 5HOW FEBRUARY 12 Princeton alumni of Washington are looking forward to the performance of the Princeton University Triangle Club in "The Isle of Surpriae." its 1919 11*130 production, to be given February 12 at the Belasco. The show is acted by undergraduates representative of only the best of dramatic talent in the field of acting, singing and dancing, and this, inter mingled with a ti*ue Princeton spirit, it would seem, must result in a pro duction meriting the highest approval from a dramatic viewpoint. The leading part is taken by J. R. Forgan, a sophomore, who made sucn a great success of the part of Julius Caesar last year in "The Honorable Julius Caesar." Eva Gauthier Surprises With Unique Style Extraordinary, in the exact mean ing of the word, undoubtedly will j justly describe the recital to be give.i ! by Kva Gauthier at the Auditorium on February 19.

Start Syndicate to Sell Their Hits at Ten Cents And Divide Profits. A number of meetings of son? wrtt ers have been held during the past few weeks and a new organisation, to be called the American Songwriters* Syn dicate, has been practically complsted. I The new organisation plans to write and publish popular numbers, all to be sold at 10 cents per copy. The money derived from the sale of then*, as well a* the royalties from mechani cal instrument concerns, is to be di vided equally among the members of the new organisation, which at pres ent is to be limited to ten member*. In this way the writers figure that a hit for one is a hit for all. and t should one of the writers be s little off his batting stride for a few months the work of some other who I* hit ting around .300 would keep him in good health and spirits. The songwriters are going ahesd rapidly and hope to be established in the publishing business within the next few weeks. In the meantime they are planning a big vaudeville set to give the n?*w 1 songs the first start on the road to popularity. Coppicus to Leave Gatti, Will Manage Artists F. C.
