Civic inuslc nssoclntlons, city club forces, Chleugo Woman's club activities, have spread popular and low-priced concerts over the city. "Music is something more than n fashion, and ltavlnln Is not a 'society pet exclusively. It occupies an Increasingly Important part In tbo conscious ness of the town, and ltavlnln Is an Institution of which the city Is particu larly and Inordinately proud." Prince of Wales: Nice Fellow The prince of Wales, while visiting tho Drlttsh West Indies, made the statement that they were "not for sale.''' This declaration has Just be come generally known. "All the dis cussion which has been going on for some time in the British and Ameri can press on the subject of the trans fer of the British West Indies to Un united States in part or complete pay ment of the war debt owing by King George's empire to Uncle Sam's treas ury is thus set at rest by this state ment by tho prince of Wales that the subjects of his father's crown, wheth er white or otherwise, were "not for sale." Moreover, tho prince of Wales Is now known to have made this state ment on the nuthority of his father, King George, and of the Imperial gov ernment. It Is to be-ejepected that tbe prince of Wales should be much in the public eye. But since his recent trip, all the worm v,i. wtn .? juku .tii in terest. For he showed bjmsclf to be a normal, modest, Intensely human young man and won all hearts by his simplicity, nffablllty and democracy. He Is not nn intellectual, and he la certainly not n dullard. He rattier fills the average of the youth of modern times, with, nn extreme fondness of modern activities, which Include golfing, walking, jazz dancing, sightseeing and the rest. He Is rather bashful than otherwise and Is much more at home In the midst of. a hearty crowd the more democratic the better than In the most august of formal gatherings. c Scott: Northwestern's New Head nliuclied to the general stair. 1-or his service he was awarded tliu D.

"People can construct bcnutlful buildings," said Col. It. It. McCormJck. "ond one dny they will crumble In rolns or be torn down. Nations may rise und fall. Races may como and go.
