On Sixth Extensive Tour
Mischa Elman, Renowned Artist, Will
Appear in Amf Arbor Dec. 13.
* The next concert on the Choral Union
series will bring to Hill auditorium,
Ann Arbor, one of the. most renowned
artists of the present day, Mischa Elman, who will make his- first Ann Arbor appearance Monday evening, December 13.
Although still a young man this will
mark his sixth extensive tour of America, on his previous tours having played
at more than 600 concerts and recitals,
all of them to capacity audiences and at
many of them hundreds were turned
away. His sixth tour promises to surpass all of his efforts in the past in
every way.     '
No matter from which side the life of
Miseha Elman is reviewed, the thoughtful student of human events, is certain
to declare that the young Russian genius is an unsolvable mystery. Gifts like
his cannot be explained. As an artist
he charms, fascinates, uplifts, and his
influence upon the public is the ''same,
no matter in which country- he plays, be
his auditors critics, connoisseurs, aristocrats, or just plain mortals, it is much
the same; all marvel at his accomplishments and wonder at his achievements.
When Elman first appeared in this country, the first thing said of him was that
he had created a new- epoch in violin
playing, and it is not extravagant to
state that the concerts of this wonderfully endowed Russian in America,
stimulated violin students, and the sale
of violin compositions to a remarkable
degree. His concerts have helped artists of lesser gifts, and indeed, one is
justified in declaring that he has established a new popularity for the "King
of Instruments."
The historic Gewandhaus in Leipsig
has ever frowned upon "prodigies."
The archives of the institution show
that only two exceptions have been
made allowing "wunderkinder" to appear at Gewandhaus concerts—the first
was the late Joseph Joachim, and the
second, Mischa Elman. This in itself,
constitutes a,novel incident, in the annals of musical performances. As in
the case of Joachim, Elman's prodigy
years did not spoil his career. For a
time the little Russian was withdrawn
from public appearance in order to pursue his studies with Professor Auer in
St. Petersburg, but when he returned
to the concert platform^the world beheld a musical miracle worker.
What is the magic in' Elman's playing? To some, it is the big soulful tone
with a G string, deep and rich like the
'cello; and another says the magic of
Elman's playing is his magnetism; others declare it is Elman's interpretative
skill that is extraordinary, and right
here, let it be said that Elman does not
favor one school of composition more
than another. Speaking for himself on
this point Elman stated. "A true artist
must revere every school of music and
must play the masterpieces of every
famous composer; that is all there is to
it."
He will offer the following program
at this time:
Concerto, E Minor, Op. 64—Mendelssohn; Allegro molto appassionate; Andante; Allegro molto vivace.
Faust Fantasy—Wieniawski.
The Call of the Plains—Rubin Gold-
mark.
Orientale—Caesar Cui,
Ave Maria—Schubert-Wilhelmj.
La Chasse—Fritz !Kreisler.
I.-Palpiti—Paganini.

The Yellow Label.
Our readers are invited.to note the
date on the yellow label on their Observer. If it shows a date previous to
January 1, 1916, we hope the subscriber may some time this month pay to
some date in 1916. That will take very
little in the case of any. subscriber,
while the aggregate would be a sum
which would be .of material benefit to
the Observer.
Some subscribers do not appear to
understand the dating of the yellow
label. When the label says for instance
"Dec. 14" they think that means December 14th, and that we have forgotten to put in the year. That is not the
case. The figures after the month tell
the year. So "Dec. 14" means that the
subscription is paid to Dec. 1,1914.

Endorsed By Governor Ferris.
Governor Woodbridge N. Ferris has
endorsed the work which the Michigan
Anti-Tuberculosis association is doing
in the sale of seals this year. In a personal letter to- the secretary, Gov. Ferris stated: "The secretary of the state
board of health informs me that through
the sale of seals you are doing a splendid work. I say, go ahead in aiding the
work that is going on through the antituberculosis campaign. The Red Cross
seal is a thing of beauty and carries
with it a sentiment that is inspiring and
encouraging. My declaration is, go
ahead."
Six million seals have been distributed
throughout the state of Michigan from
the Ann Arbor headquarters, and these
are now on sale. This is the largest
number ever placed on sale in the state.
Do you know what our county is doing?
Do you know where seals may be obtained in this county? Are you willing
to help in the sale of seals? Information may be obtained from Carol F.
Walton, Medical building, Ann Arbor,
Michigan.

FORMER  SALINE DESIDENT
Mayor Charles A. Saner of Ann Arbor
Passed Away Monday Morning.
Charles A. Sauer, "well known in
Saline for many years and for the past
29 years a prominent contractor and
lumber dealer of Ann Arbor, died at
the St. Joseph sanitarium Tuesday
morning of typhoid fever.
Deceased was born in Stratford, Ontario, December 18,1866, and with his
parents came to this village five years
later.
In 1892 he was married to Miss' Julia
Katherine Koch of this village and is
survived by the bereaved., widow, four
children, Nola', Laura, Karl, and Waldo; also his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Adam Sauer of this place, two sisters,
Miss Barbara Sauer of Ann Arbor and
Mrs. Katherine Vandefmark of Clinton, and two brothers, Adam and John
Sauer of Ann Arbor.
Mr. Sauer had never had any political aspirations until last April, when
he was elected mayor of Ann Arbor.
He was, however, identified with several orders, the Elks and the Knights
of Pythias of Ann Arbor, the Fellow-
craft club of Detroit and the Sledge
club of Toledo.
The funeral services were held at the
home in Ann Arbor Wednesday afternoon and the remains placed in the

Stick Seals Properly.
Don't affix Christmas or Red Cross
seals on the address side of a parcel or
letter. That is the warring given by
Postmaster Lutz, who says the postal
regulations of practically every foreign
country forbid this and in the case of
domestic mail it is the same. Sqme
foreign countries .will not permit mail
to be received that bears any kind of
stamps except the regular postage.
The postmaster says that if the public,
will observe these rules, fewer Christmas presents and greetings will fail of
delivery.        *
Another thing to observe is not to
stick these stamps on the packages in
such a manner as to seal it, thus making it liable to first-class postage.

Sing hymns that were sung by

Sing songs of the angels when

Rise, hope of the ages, arise like

Sing the bridal of nations, with
chorals of lo've,
Sing   out  the  war  vulture  and
sing in the <love,
Till   the   hearts   of   the   people
keep time in accord
And the voice of the world is the
voice of the Lord!
Clasp hands of the nations

Blow,    bugles    of    battle,    the

Sing of glory to God and of good
will to man! ^
Hark, joining  in chorus,
The heavens bend o'er us!
The  dark night   is  ending   and

Rise, hope of the ages, arise like

All   speech   flow   to   music,   all

A delegation of fellow townsmen
called on Kuf us K. Combs of Midway,
Ky., to congratulate him on the receipt
of a Carnegie medal.
As his friends were taking leave Mr.
Combs wished |hem all a merry Christmas.
J'And I hope," he ended, "that you'll
have a more bountiful Christmas dinner than fell to the lot of a young
friend of mine last year.
"He, poor chap, was stopping-at a
cheap New Tear boarding house, and
on Christmas day, after he had eaten
a turkey neck, a potato and a splinter
of sodden mince pie, the landlady said
to him as he rose just as the weak
coffee was brought on:
"'Oh, don't leave the table, Mr.
Smith.'    *
" 'I must, madam,' said Smith grimly. "It's hard wood, and my teeth are

"The Virgin's Blessjng."
Every Virgin in Spain is illuminated
with a taper. In Bija, near Cordova,
an image or portrait of the Virgin and
the Babe newborn hangs in well nigh
every room in eVery house. And why?
Begause the beautiful belief is' rooted
inHhose simple minds that-on. Christmas eve, before the clock strikes 12,
the Virgin, bringing blessings in her
i train, visits every house where she
can find an image or portrait of her \
son. And many a girl kneels down In
robes of white before her humble' portrait of the Babe and prays and hears
a rustling in the room and thinks, "The
Virgin comes; she brings me my Christmas eve blessing," and turns, and, lo,
; it  is   her  mother,   and   the  Virgin's
blessing is the mother's kiss!
