WOULD LIST ALL MUSIC
Project of Challenging All the
Melodies of the World Pro-
posed to Association.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, January p
The project Of cataloguing all the music
in existence so that one could place a
thumb quickly upon any of the perhaps
100000 melodies Of the world is the
vast and unique proposition presented to
the National Association Of Music
Teachers, In convention here.
Prof. Lee Rich Lewis of Tufts College.
head Of the department OF music In that
institution, who has already catalogued
$1,000 melodies. suggested the extension
OF this on q cooperative basis. in which
musical authorities and libraries all over
the world should aid.
Data Accessible to World.
He proposed the original catalogue be
placed In some national library or univer-
sity under q competent curator. where
its information would be accessible to
the world.
Prof. Lewis said a complete index would
be invaluable for the discovery Of the
identity of various melodies that come
to life from time to time. vaguely trace
able to previous composition. He be-
lieved that piracy in music would receive
a great setback.
The convention as yet has taken no
action on the plan. -.

CHINESE MUST ABANDON
CENTUR|ES-0LD STYLES
Cabinet DEGREES Women Shall
No Longer Wear Trousers,
But Skirts.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1.-THE
centuries-old styles in clothing for both
men and women of China have come un-
der the disarproval of the cabinet of the
republic, and an edict has been issued
calling upon the women to abandon their
trousers for the occidental skirt and the
men to give up their comfortable loose
clothes for the sack business and con-
ventional evening clothes of the eau
casian.
A copy of the edict has been received
by Young Yew, consul here for the Chi
nese republic, together with pictures of
clothing prescribed for both sexes. The
vernacular papers here printed the edict
and illustrations yesterday.
The business derby and the formal silk
hat are the only two mentioned for men.
Nothing is said Of headgear for the wom-
en-, who, aside from hair ornaments, never
have worn head coverings.
Shoe Styles Prescribed.
Men are allowed high calfskin and low
tan shoes. while the women are limited to
high shoes to suit their taste.
Besides shoes, only three articles OF
dress are prescribed for women. One, a
loose-fitting garment on the lines of a
kimono is for house wear. An extremely
conventional pleated skirt and shirt waist
evidently are supposed to complete heI
wardrobe.
At the expressed wish of President
Yuan Shi Kai the edict, which was re-
ceived several days ago, was held until
New Year for publication.

TO PREVENT FLIES
FROM BREEDING

Keep the manure, while it is in the
stable, in a closed bin or pit.
Screen stables If possible.
Remove the manure at least twice q
week.
Every time the stalls are cleaned and
the manure placed in the pit or bin
sprinkle it with dry plaster powdered
gypsum) or slaked lime.
BE sure that you sprinkle the cracks
and crevices Of the bin or pit as we'll
as the cracks between the planking of
the stall floors.
If flies begin to breed in stored ma.
nure they may be killed by thoroughly
spraying 1t with kerosene or paris
green and then pouring on enough wa
ter to wash the oil or poison well in.
The objection to the use of kerosene
is that 1t ruins the manure for fertiliz-
ing purposes. A solution Of iron sui
phate Zone pound to GALLON, applied
at the rate of one gallon a day In a
stable where one horse is kept, will
kill all the maggots. 1t costs about 81
per 100 pounds. 50 that the cost Of
keeping flies from breeding in a one
horse stable is about l cent day.
1t Is well to abolish old fashioned
outhouses where possible. Where this
cannot be done a liberal amount of
lime should he used, applied in small
amounts daily. Chloride of. lime is
better than slaked lime. but slaked
lime is better than none at all.
Garbage cans should be thoroughly
cleaned after emptying, and the con-
tents should be sprinkled with crude
oil, lime or kerosene oil.

and 1t was. generally thought that the
climax had been reached.
But this season it is proposed to sur
pass anything attempted last season
In connection with his big band Of In
strumental artists Thaviu will carry q
chorus of twelve grand opera singers
The old favorites will be retained. and
to the cast will be added such noted
artists as Nine. Bertossi, formerly with
the Lumbardo Opera Company; Coco.
cone of the Boston Opera Company and
other stars Of like magnitude.
The vocal programs will be chosen
from the opera Of Lovely Galatea''
and will be perhaps of more popular
character than the classic I'll Trova-
tore" of last season. The numbers will
be magnificently staged and rendered on
the same high grade fashion as would
be found In the musical resorts of the
big cities.
This is by all odds the greatest at
traction ever booked on any Chautau-
qua. The cost Is enormous. but the
management feels that Chautauqua
patrons are entitled to the best, and
they are going to get 1t.
