Soldan, or Soldan, as the silhouette fans seemed to like to call him, is about as well known as anybody, apparently for Silhouette fans guessed 100 per cent right this week! Everybody told about what he had done for baseball in Madison- how he is a valuable member Madison Blues' Baseball committee, how he went on "Roundy's" baseball trip to Chicago, how he was a member of the St. Louis Browns 25 years ago. Everybody told what a "real fellow" he is; how he at you, not over your head or around how he preaches the gospel and leaves politics and other matters alone while in the pulpit; how he was instrumental in the building of the Luther Memorial cathedral; and how he preaches regularly at four other churches outside of Madison besides attending his duties here. But the most interesting little bit of information gleaned from the pile of letters was this: talked to us children at Longfellow school once about Leavenworth prison- he inspired 11S that don't ever want to go there--but we wanted to hear more about it!" And for that the $2 prize this week goes to Emily Peterson. 36 South Mills street, 14-year-old daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. P. R. Petersen. Emily is in the 8th grade at Longfellow.

Other fans told how the Rev. Mr. Soldan prefers to be called pastor instead of the more formal reverend; that he is fond of chop suey; that he was born at Macon, Missouri; that he is from the "Show Me" state, and that he is just that way in all his work.

Leningrad Plans Aerial Hospital LENINGRAD (U.P.) Plans for what is probably the first "aerial in the world have been announced by the director of the Metchnikoff Hospital here, Professor: Oppel. The plans involve the constructon of a large platform, hanging from four huge, aerostats, and kept from floating off into? space by a land anchor. This platform, with glass walls as shields against the wind. will" be kept aloft at a level suitable for tuberculosis patients. Prof.

Oppel explains that the air which tubercular patients find in mountain spots exists right in Leningrad, or any other city. It is merely a matter of rising, high enough to locate it. An hospital such as he proposes, he claims, will be cheaper and more practicable than the journeys to strange places usually prescribed by physicians. money is the no. thing, One little than saves lots of Largest Boy Band Uses Tin Whistle Fox River Valley Lads Find Short Cut to Ability to Play Tunes has arrived but the boys Fox APPLETON, Wis.

time Martine River valley have a new pastime, that of playing flageolets or tin whistles. The flageolet was brought into prominence by Theodore A. Steinmetz, organizer of the largest boys' bands in the world at Ashland, and St. Cloud, Minn. It was done in an effort to establish boys bands in several cities in this section of Wisconsin.

The experiment entails practically no expense as the instrument used can be purchased for ten cents. Steinmetz supervised meetings at several places in the valley after working out a musical scale on the flageolet which coincided with that of most of the wind instruments. Hundreds of boys turned out for the meetings he'd at Appleton, Green Bay, Neenah-Menasha and other cities. The simplest airs worked out by blackboard instruetions with numbers for the fingering of the holes which made the difference in tone. In a few weeks examinations will be given.

The boys who have not mastered the flageolet are eliminated. The others, then are entitled to further instructions under Steinmetz.
