In the cam- paign leading up to a special election, this incident was thoroughly investi- gated. With the facts placed clearly before them by both parties, the peo- ple of Maine elected Mr. Gould by theI largest majority ever given to a sen- atorial candidate in that state. In Aroostook county where the transfer was made, he led by a nine to one vote. Even enterprising senators, it seems, should learn that "there is a time and place for everything"-par-, ticularly for disproved rumors. DETROIT'S POPULAR SPORT One of the most popular sports in Detroit these days is passing on ru- mors as to just what Henry Ford is going to do in the automobile field- and others., One day he is going to establish a Toledo-Detroit trolley line or receive the Nobel prize for his ill-fated voy-j age on the Oscar II back in 1915, on1 another Willys-Overland officials are going to cooperate with him in build- ing a new trick super-six or for effi- ciency's sake Henry is going to emu- late John McGraw of the New York Giants and remove the shirt tails of all his workers. The number and variations of these rumors surpasses all human under- standing. If Henry had followed out a tenth of them he would have been in the poorhouse ten years ago. Several bills introduced into the House this session have proposed that 1 postmasters retain office without term. Although these measures will prob- ably not be enacted this session, their discussion can lead public opinion to demand such reforms. ....... . .... ..

Such a rumor is fright- ening. But the beautiful "Procession of Princesses" and "Lullaby" of his "Firebrand" suite leave an impres- sion quite contrary to that fear. They are exquisite.

Probably the most appreciated and enjoyed was the Pastorale (Sonata I) by Guilmant-a uniquef study in contrasts.
