Some of the violins used by the members are made by Mr. Job Ardern, of Wilmslow. who has made over 500 instruments, the quality of which will entitle him to rank among the noted v olin makers of "the nineteenth century." This opinion is a perfectly just one, as the maker's finish and style were exceptionally good. He had a dainty Italfan style, such as is rare indeed amongst British makers, and anyone looking at one of his violins will be immediately struck by the marked air of grace and elegance which they possess. This, however, does not in any way detract from the solidity of build, which is so necessary for fine tone production So Job Ardern worked on, year after year, in the shade of the giant holly tree whith stood, and which still stands, before his workroom window. He was an admirable ex- ample of the craftsman of the past, deeply in love with his art, and by no means anxious to part from a single specimen of his work; indeed He took pleasure to see his violins accumulate around him. Upon the shelves of the work- room, aroynd the walls of the par- lour, hanging from the rafters of the attic, placed away carefully in boxes, violins" were everywhere to be found, and in this congenial at- mosphere the productive years sped on, old age bringing no apparent diminution of his powers of indus- try and high finish.

The band can declare on our behalf without shame | or shi¥ness, something of what we feel and so help us to reach a hand | toward the men whe have risen up to save us." | Military music accomplishes something nothing else can aecom- pHish. How and why military mush has survived all opposition and en- trenched itself more strongly than ever in army life is told in a Qde- tailed way by A. P, Hatton in the | London Mgsical Opinion. His ac- | count HoMed 46Wn and tondensed this: Military music has had its stern | fight for existence even in recent | times. Five years ago a powerful | offensive was initiated against it by | a college professor. In 1912 one of | our generals pleaded strongly for the abolition of all army bands so that their members m ght be added to the fighting ranks. French generals too were prejudiced against the music. One of the latter who was war minister by a stroke of the pen swept drums out of existence. So he thought; but to-day the drum which Napoleon called the king of instruments has reached in France a pinnacle of more than pristine glory and importance. And it is certan that we have never in our history had so many military bands as we have to-day or found them so indis- pensable for marching and recruit- ing purposes. The military value of the drum, fife, bugle and bagpipe lies in their compelling blood-quickening--as though their noisy vibrations start- ed 'hidden springs of vitality into life. The secret is reiterated rhy- thnr--perhaps 'the primal funda- mental of all music. Indeed almost the sole musical mission of the mili- tary drum is to accentuate march- ing steps to make the pulses leap with punctuating thumps or rat-a- tat-tats or provide intervals to be bridged by soldierly yells.
