Where does a ballad ai>d a Lied be gin? What is the difference between a Folk-song and a Ballad? Does a] song written in a foreign language, by one of the admittedly great composers become a ballad, when translated into English? WThen does a song become "popular"? These have always been mooted questions aand possibly will Always remain so.- They are questions upon which John McCormack, the world fa mous Tenor, who will be heard al the Raleigh Auditorium, December 3rd has very decided views. Speaking to a representative of a Musical Journal, recently, he said: "At least one-half of the popularity frf itU ? nnihl 11 ?,k? 11 ? i 11 ltii Iib lln in the words, after which comes the n>elody. ' j "It to my mind, requires just as much art to sing a ballad properly as It does to sing a great' aria. I have given as much careful study to the folk songs I have introduced in my programs as I have to what are con sidered much more pretentious com positions. I have just come across some new melodies In folk song style, to which I will set words and soroe of these I will bring out next season. "For example, take "Singer's Con solation," by Schumann, has the sort of words that appeal, and a perfectly beautiful melody. It is the kind of ; >ng which would become popular with English speaking people In this country, if sung oftener in English. It is one of a number in the Max Hein rlch edition, which has some* tfdnder tul translations by Alice Matullah. "As a rule. I am obliged to sing Ital ian arias and songs In Itartan, because there are no good translations." McCormack is the first artist of an all star series being presented this winter by the Rotary Club of Raleigh. Quite a large number of Franklin folks have expressed their intentions j of being present. I r TO CLOSE CAMPAIGN. Chapel Hill, X. C.. Nov. 12?Mr. T. W.

Edward Kidder Graham. It was the deceased's plans to erect at an early date, had he lived, a build ing to bo known as The Student's Ac tivity building. He saw tlir.t this was the greatest need of this institution, of the Unltreroity was to keep step with the growth of the studen body. There are at present something like a hun dred ai>d twenty-five organizations on the campus, most of them without a comfortable pjace where they can meet. A horife for these will be had ip this new structure, and this is the thing most needed. The students feel keenly the need of such as is shown by the way they themselves have subscribed. In one night they raised $20,000, gifts rang ing from $25 to $?>00. Last year's graduating class average $75, showing how much they had missed such a building, and their desire for the men to come after to have that which was denied them. Albert M. Coates, General Secretary, has seirt.out notices to the "various dis trict managers throughout the state to bring the campaign to a close by November 26th. if possible. So far the cam-sign has met ?wy t h splendid success, but to reach the goal much work still remains to be done. At the banquet each district will re port. and tlie sum total raised will be announced. All those directly con-, meted with the drive, alumni and friends of the University are hoping! fund will not only be reached but ov-! ersuhscribed.

MAK K S EXAMINATION Of Hotel and Jail?Low Score Duo ? Partly to Inability to Meet Require liients and Lack of Information. Mr. John F. Gordon. Special Agent of the State Board of Health was in Loulsburg yesterday making up a re port on the comiilion of ?lit* Pr:?i.'ivl'.t> Hotel and the County jaii. The hotel .was given a score of 68 out of a possible 100. The main i rou ble. says Mr. Gordon. Is n the kitchen ar.d is not all due to negligence 0:1 the rnutrr objections found consisted of smarter things such as the lack of individual towels, and soap, fire extinguishers, notices of Are escapes, covered gar bage receptacles, milk inspection, ex aniinaation of kitchen and dining room help. A correction of a sufficient number of these objections have been arranged for since the inspection to bring the hotel above the 80 per cent n>ark, although the requirements of the m>lk inspection Is impossible for a town this size and the help require ments are almost as bad\ He spoke very highly of the nice, clean* and pleasing appearance of the rooms, bed ding. halls, etc. The examination of the jail or?ly showed a credit of 4S 1-2 out of n pos sible 100. The main objection here from a Sanitary standpoint was that two many men are kept in oi?e cell, and no privacy for dexes. Another i was the failure on the part of the Health Officer to make proper exami nation of persons placed in Jail and sending same to the Board of Health. This requirement. Mr. Gordon explain ed. was not known by Dr. Malone. The other objections were small being mainly the lack of provision for such things as separation for tubercular and venerael diseases, precautions to prevent verim. jnil clothes, both day and night, nir and floor spr.ee. Individ drinking cups, towels, soap. etc.. in sufficient clothing, baths, pillows, pil- J low cases and shoes, ligh t in bath ; and at night, chairs or stools cuspi dors. reading, sefeens and other nnti j fly measures.
