Trouble is brewing for the bands
which desire to enter the musical con-
tests at the St. Louis Exposition. The
cause of it is the stand taken recently
by George w. Stewart. director Of
music at the Worlds Fair. that all COM
peting organizations must tune their
instruments to international pitch. This
is. Furthermore. the outcome of a con-
troversy which has lasted for more than
twenty years between advocates Of the
international and those of what is
known as the American pitch
Pitch is determined by the tonaI pO-
sition Of "A" on the scale. and is ad-
justed by the number OF vibrations in
a second. The nearer the pitch is to
the human voice the truer II is regard
ed to be- The American pitch is almost
a half tone higher than the interna-
tional. and Is believed to be more bril-
Liant while the International Is softer
and better adapted to symphony and
operate music

desire to participate and whose instru-
ments are tuned to the American pitch.
II Will bar army bands and the ma
jority of amateur organizations, thus
practically limiting the contest to pro-
fessienal bands-a condition which
American musicians oppose.
The controversy regarding pitch be-
gan about twenty years ago when ar
gument became so strong that leaders
OF bands and instrument makers all
over the world realized that general
pitch should be adopted to which all
instruments should be attuned, and thus
preserve a standard OF tune By vote
Of those interested the international
pitch was decided upon. Sousa, Thomas.
Damrosch, and the late Anton Seidl
adopted the international pitch. Its vi
brations are 435 TO a second while the
American pitch registers 462 vibrations

1t is doubtful whether. in view OF Mr.
Stewards decision. any concessions viii
be made TO the bands not tuned 10 the
international pitch. and. for this reason,
many organizations are expected to
withdraw from the contest.

WIVES AND THE LAW.
Significant Evidence of woman's In
creasinx Independence.

No more significant evidence Of wom-
ans increasing independence is afford
ed than the changed attitude with
which the law regards her status after
marriage, says Robert Webster Jones
in the Housekceper. To realize the
radical reform that has been effected
in this regard during the last fifty
years we have only to recall the mar
riage protest. of Lucy Stone, the ia
nous advocate of equal suffrage. Upon
her marriage in 1855 to Henry Il.
Blackwell, both she and her husband
signed protest" against such of the
present laws Of marriage as refuse to
recognize the wife as an independent,
rational being, while they confer upon
the husband an injurious and unnatu-
raj superiority, investing him with le-
gal powers which no honorable man
should possess" Among the laws pro-
tested against We're those giving the
husband the exclusive control and
guardianship of the children; the sole
ownership of the wifes personal estate
and the use of her real estate, unless
previously placed in the hands Of trus-
tees; the absolute right to the product
Of the wifes industry, and, finally, pro-
test was made against "the whole sys-
tenn by which the legal existence Of the
wife is suspended during marriage, SO
that she neither has legal part in the
choice Of her residence, nor can she
make will, nor sue or be sued in her
own name, nor inherit property Then
the newly married couple cited this as
their creed:
I'VE believe that personal independ-
ence and equal human rights can never
be forfeited except for crime; that mar
rage should be an equal and perma-
nent partnership and so recognized by
law; that until it is so recognized mar
ried partners should provide against
the radical injustice of present laws by
every means in their power"
1t is gratifying to observe how, dur
ing the last half century, the various
unfair determinations which were the
objects of Lucy stones marriage pro-
test" have been removed from the stat
ute books and laws substituted which
embody the long-looked-for justice. Diff
ferent States have special laws, but
throughout the country the principle
holds good that married woman,
without the consent of her husband,
may receive, hold and manage proper
ty, and sell or bequeath it, as she sees
fit. In most States, too, she may
make contracts in her own name and
incur liabilities.

"There Are Others

An amiable young woman whose ar
tistic ability enabled her to draw a
fairly recognizable cat was wont to
amuse 3-year-old boy by delineations
of this domestic creature. Unfortun-
ately, in his picture-book explorations
the child encountered a peccary, and
one day he asked her to draw him one
