Danger of Ragtime.

Ragtime VS.. idiocy In other
words. according to DR.. Ludwig
Gruener. celebrated alienists of Ber-
lin, ragtime is making idiots of US
all. He bases his assertions on inves.
legations made at the principal asy-
lums in the United States. Ninety
per cent of the inmates whom he
studied were abnormally developed
in their love for ragtime and failed
to respond to classical music.
Says Dr. Guener: "Hysteria is
the form of insanity that the abnor-
NAL love for ragtime seems to pro-
duce. The peculiar noises Of ragtimc
cause nervous tension spasmodical-
ly as the sounds rise and fall. The per
sons who continually listen to this
sort Of music put their entire nervous
system under a strain, especially the
nerves that affect the brain. Clas.
steal music soothes, paclfies and ele-
Yates, while ragtime does just the OPP
posite."
Hereafter when we hear the bard
playing Alexander" we may with
propriety ask the leader to change

Fate Of Girl Lion Trainer.

A child-only few years out OF
babyhood is dead because the child
labor law of the state where she was
performing In a travelling circus
when she was killed is criminally
weak and inadequate.
Martha Frazier died last month
in Utica, Miss. She was employed,
we understand by her own parents
as a lion tanner She was twelve
years OF age, and had attained some
distinction in her ability to put lions
and other wild animals through their
interesting exhibition. On Saturday,
October 81, as the performance was
closing, she attempted to make the
largest male lion roll on his back
and put his feet together. She gave
the signal. but the lion did not re.
spond. She prodded him with a
stick, whereupon the beast sprang d.
rectly upon her, and tore her body
until he was shot dead. Pleading
that she might return to work "be-
fore the other lions get bad" she was
taken by her father to the sanitarium
in Jackson. Miss, where she died the
following day.
The little girl loved her work. The
very danger appealed to her childish
mind. But the stain of murder can
not be effaced from the seal of Mis-
sissippi except by speedy and COM
prehensive legislation which shall
close the doors of such industrial
opportunity" against these little ones
In the case of Martha Frazier, the
stain of blood reaches farther than
the bounds of Mississippi For the
home of Martha Frazier was in PEN
usylvania. 1t was only by chance
that her blood was spilled In Mis-
sissippi and not in her native state,
Tor there also work on the vaudeville
stage, or in menagery, or in a ltrgc
number of other occupations with the
consent of the parents is beyond the
scope of the child labor law. The
little body of Martha Frazier might
have been thrown to the lions in Pen
nsylvania swell as in Mississippi.
