You have been told how Lyng-lun obtained his fundamental 12 notes "Lua" they are called, for the Yellow Emperor nearly 6,000 years ago. Now the sound of metal is one of the eight musical sounds of nature, to Lyng-lun was ordered to cast 12 bells to correspond to the 12 "Lu." In the Chinese band of today there are three varieties of bells, large, middling and small Po-tchoung, Te-tchoung. and Plen-tchoung, The small ones are of the most importance for they are arranged In sets like the "King" In Instruments of stone. They are struck with a mallet and you will notice larger bells give out the lower tone, the smallest is high and shrill.

Long ago it Is said the Chinese had a bell with nobs on it and each nob when struck was like the sound of a different bell. The Chinese are very fond of bells, they used to be found all over China, little wind-bells on the eaves of houses, with Ions; streamers the same type, but mor boyish. And can the boy sing! You hear him often on th radio. Notice how naturally warbles tho high notes. "People write to me," he eays.

"They tell me I make a lot of tenors rnoli their voices. They hear my F. they try It, and snap they are done for!" That Is too bad, thinks Mr. Martini, but what can be do shout Itf A tight belt lot with the hlch notes, he avs. The Wither he iln.cu the t'ghter he belts his waist In.

By no means docs he starve hlmseif to keep romantically slender. Consumes four meals a day, and has a weakness for hot dogs In between. Fall at lde-wnlk stands wherever he goes. Sixty-five dollar a year Nino Martini pay to the Mussolini government for thn of remaining a bachelor. That's the Fascist tsx on slntrle men.

It's cheap enouirh, iay Nino, all thlnes considered "AH things considered." At long last! An enigmatical tenor. From Toronto I.est Saturday Toronto Globe contains a long resume of the Saskatchewan end Manitoba, dramatic festivals, contributed by Dr. Lswrenca Mason. Globe erltle and recently In the went; functioning aa dramatic festival ertludlestor. The detail Is alreadv famtllar to Reglna.

The following will however quicken the local pulae. "Everv detail of the featlvsl war extraordinarily well managed by the able officers and committees In Dartlcu'arly bv Mrs. TTiPBt R. Mvers of Saskatoon, WfWter T. Read td M.

To them and their associates great credit is due for the complete sueceas of this arduous, unprecedented end eleventh-hour undertaking with grateful appreciation from the adjudicator for their many personal courtesies to this visitor. He has no hesitation In predicting that the Saakat-chewan entry will a formidable competitor at Ottawa." And again, "It must be remembered that this first year of the festival Is necessarily a somewhat experimental phase. Many change may ba made next year, Including a revised marking system which shall slve more credit for originality, Imagination, srtlstlo quality and high elms. Meanwhile much good has been accomplished, and everyone interested In Canadian drama, or In th general progress of the country, must feel deeply grateful to HI Excellency, the Governor-General for inaugurating thl movement.

As for the artistic standards of the western this reviewer, after seeing part of all three regional festivals in Ontario, feels that the chances of Saskatchewan and Manitoba at Ottawa are distinctly brieht." Dr. Mason "Ottawa" tonic Is easy to take. and Rev. W. H.

Adcock have been Interested and interesting advocates. 1 W. Knight Wilson, conductor of the Reglna Symphony orchestra, has been Invited and has agreed to assist In the Winnipeg competitions in the role of guest conductor. Joseph Shadwlek, concert master of the Minneapolis orchestra and more recently assistant conductor with Sir Thomas Beecham and Covent Garden, London, will be a distinguished agent of destiny, on tho adjudicating staff. These Important "personal notes" serve to Indicate the calibre of the competition and further to stiffen College street determination.

Now we come to the point. The Commercial High-School Glee club will give a benefit performance of "Sailor Maids" on Saturday evening, April 8, at 8:80 o'clock, "Snllor Maids," directed by Violet McAfee, has beenrunnlng at the Technical school since Wednesday. The entire proceeds of the Saturday "benefit" will be turned over to the orchestra to assist them financing their coming trip. Tickets priced at 10 cents, and no more, may be obtained at W. G.

F. Scythes' music store or by telephoning the Technical school office. Students will deliver tickets to any address. The boy and' girls of the orchestra have two ideals, the fostering of the cause of good music in the high schools, end the putting of Reglna more firmly than ever on the musical map of western Canada. To do so they must go to Winnipeg, there to serve as efficient earnests of the fact that on the plane of high echool orchestra music, Reglna Is measuring up.

If they can prove, by winning, that It Is actually setting the pace, on that plane, so much the better, for them, for high echool music, for Retina, Here's wishing them every success. Don't foreet! Every Saturday night, "Sailor Maid" dime will help the silver lining. And every dime, In this case certainly will be an InvestmentIn vouth, in its eternal odessey. As Ulysses said to Jason OLet's go.

One book of Confuclue, by the way, was walled up in the house he lived in, at the time of the burning of the books, and only found after about 400 years when the house was pulled down, but although more than 23 centuries have passed away, we of the western world quote him today without knowing it, and try to live by "The Golden It was the sage of China who said, "What you do not like when don to yourself, do not to Confucius played the lute himself, and sang.

The one is not used without the other, for the drum gave the signal to begin and the bell, named the Yung Chung, the signal to end the ceremony. Twenty-five centuries is a long time, and it would be Interesting to visit that old yellow land and strike the old bell, If they would allow It In memory of the wise man who said: "The cautious seldom err.
