lean music is more and more making
a way for itself. A good deal OF this
music, it Is true, is still composed OF
Coon Songs" and Rag Time" pieces,
and very often an insult to an educat-
ed musical ear But good music is al
so coming to the front. Ten years ago
it was not considered possible In Eu-
rope that a musical composer could
be born in America. American inven-
tive genius, American machinery,
American farming methods, American
commerce and trade-those were I'M
deniable facts Of respectable proper
tons. but American music? The day
of really great and distinct1vely
American musical composition is still
In the future American composers
have attempted symphony and ora
torio, but their works rest on dusty
shelves. AS matter Of fact only one
American firm has undertaken to pub
lish these works.
The rendering Of musical compost
tons, however, in America also, is on
a very high plane. In instrumental
music musicians of the Teutonic and
Slavic races predominant, though
there is no lack of American perform
ers also. instrumental music has
reached such high degree of perfec-
ton that the beginner. striving to
reach the pinnacle of fame, finds al
most insuperable difficulties. Thus
far American performers seem to be
most successful in vocal music. The
time when Italian singers monopolized
the field is past. German and Ameri-
can singers, male and female have of
late gained great repute in this field.
Orchestral music likewise has reached
a high degree of perfection and Is lib
orally patronized by all classes Of the
people, and as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, the building OF
musical instruments of all kinds has
here reached a stage Of perfection ex-
ceeded nowhere else. But in the field
of musical composition. especially In
popular song. thre is still wide and
virgin field awaiting cultivation and
development

RIGHTS GIRLS CLASH
Nan Dissents as Judge on
Suffrage Debate.
WOMEN JUDGES DECIDE IT
After Lively Encounter at District
WOman's Suffrage Headquarters,
Boston Election, Where Women
Refused to Go 10 the Polls.

Six bright young suffragists last night
debated equal rights at the District
Woman's Suffrage Headquarters Associa-
ton, 1923 H street northwest. They were
pupils Of Central High School. and they
thrashed out the issue in a lively battle
Of theories. Two women and man
judged. and the women rendered the YER
Diet. Ths man explained that his vote
was not necessary, as the decision Of the
women left nothing 10 be decided.
The question was upon the resolution
that women should have the same suf-
rage enjoyed by men: but one side de-
hated the question Of womens rights and
the other specifically that Of woman's
suffrage. The women Judges decided for
the affirmative.
The comment was made after the de-
bate by one Of the suffragists that the
negative had proven very skllful, but
that their arguments lost the debate for
them. The impression was made that
the quality Of the negatives work was
in itself an argument for the principle
they opposed.
