CANNED MUSIC CHARMS
COWPUNCHERS IN TEXAS
MeIodions That Render Songs of
Operatic Stars Are FavoriteS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept 49,
Canned music has become one of the
most popular articles of commerce in
the COW country. San Antonio music
houses report a land office business,
and strangely enough the cowboy goes
in for Caruso and Melba and the other
head leaders instead of the ragtime
stars.
The cattle business from the earliest
times cultivated a necessity for a love
of music In the old days when the
cowboys drove the herds overland in
Kansas and Wyoming at night when
the cattle were bedded the cowboys
rode around them all night and liter
ally sung them to sleep. The soothing
effect of the grooming songs prevented
panics and stampedes. Necessarily this
developed the singing cowboy, and
many of the weird songs of the plains
still survive in the cattle country of
Texas. A Harvard professor has been
here making a collection OF them.
Now, however, when the wire fence
zigzags through the land the necessity
of the singing cowboy is not so great,
as the cattle are shipped to market in
freight cars. Nevertheless, the love of
music still survives among them and
the latest musical development has
made it possible for many a lone hill
side in the mountain country of Texas
to re-echo the dulcet tones of Farrar
and Sembrich.

SEVENTEEN KILLED BY
AUTOS DURING AUGUST
New York's List Largest Since
Record Started

NEW YORK, Sept. ia list of the
automobile accidents in August, made
public by the National Highway Pro-
tectiVe association, shows a large In
crease in comparison with any month
since the records have been kept. Sew
enteen persons were killed and fifty
seven were injured.
Edward S. Cornell, secretary, reports
that nine persons had been run down
by automobiles the chauffeurs of which
had run away after the accidents and
only one had been found. OF the sew
enteen persons killed six were chill
dren. Mr.. Cornell said:
Fourteen owners of automobiles
were driving their cars at the time
of the accidents and am inclined to
attribute the increase In accidents ana
fatalities to the fact that owners Of
cars are not subject to the laws, but
are permitted to act as chauffeurs
without experience, license or exami-
nation.
"Some of the accidents and deaths
of children were due to carelessness
of parents in permitting their children
to take fearful chances in the streets" :"
