are not as a rule musically educated; far from it. It is safe to say that no state has secretary who takes special interest in musical matters, but there is provision in the bill that every registered teacher shall dis play in a prominent and public place in his or her studio a certified copy of the sworn statement made in register ing. Such law might accomplish the desired end, but better way would be to have board of musicians of recog- nized ability to examine teachers and certify to their fitness. Some such law will eventually be adopted in all the states.
 With the steady advancement of musical culture in the United States, there is now much larger percentage of finely equipped teachers in all cities than ever before, but still there are many men and women engaged in the profession of teaching who are not competent. Musical falkirs are found in New York city and in Chicago and in the other large cities of the north, but with registration laws reasonably well enforced incompetents would be- come so few as to be negligible quan- titles.

rails of good tonnage were placed and several important contracts are pend ing.
 An especially significant feature of the week in financial and industrial circles was the over subscribing of the Pennsylvania railroads new bond issue It was five-fold subscription, and the bonds not only sold for a premium, but a higher premium than financiers had predicted.
 Business recovery has been gradual since the first. of the year, but the best of it is it has been substantial. There is every indication that i'm provement will continue. It is reason able to think that by the middle of spring all industries will be active and that the number of unemployed men will be greatly diminished.

Panama Canal Business

In October, 1914, the total tonnage passing through the Panama canal was 977,699 tons. In November it was 445, ,266 tons. The existence of war naturally made the tonnage much less than it would have been other wise. These figures, however, eXtend- ed as an average through a year, would mean about half the tonnage estimated before the opening of the canal for the year 1915, in the opinion of Benjamin Ide Wheeler, writing for the February Review of Reviews. The tolls on the basis of $1.20 ton would amount to about $6,000,000 for the year, as against S19, ,250,00 estimated necessary to make the canal self-sup- porting, including per cent interest on $375 5,0O0,O0O invested in the canal and 1 per cent for the sinking fund. The canal was never expected to pay for itself in the first years of it's op- eration. If it does so by 1925 expec- tations would be more than satisfied.
 The coast-to-coast tonnage pass ing through the canal in October was 174,245 tons. In November it was 179,656 tons, slightly less than half the total tonnage. In times of peace the total tonnage would be much greater, but it is pointed out that the coast-to-coast tonnage is twice as much as was expected. This is due chiefly to the fact that shippers who have been using the Panama railroad pay about five times as much for the transportation of freight as the canal charges amout to. This advantage sends practically the whole volume of coast-to-coast trade through the ca- nal.
 TIT Although the repetition of slides in Culebra cut, necessitating the post ponement of the formal opening of the canal, have created the impress sion in some quarters that the canal is failure, casual survey of the facts will show that any such belief is absurd. The slides in Culebra cut are serious because they are dua +o some geological fault" beneath the surface, but they have been antici- pated and prepared for and in course of time will be overcome. The en- gineers in charge of this great work have found Culebra their most trou- blesome problem, but they are by nc means baffled by it.

To Standardize Music Teachers

In several states the music teachers in their conventions have been advo- eating legislation providing for the registration of all persons engaged in the teaching of music. John c. Freund, editor of Musical America, introduced in the convention of teachers held in Saratoga last June a plan for raising the standard of musical pedagogy. Following his plan a bill is now pend- ing in the California legislature which, if it becomes law will require the reg istration of teachers. The measure is designated as an act to promote bet ter music teaching conditions and the better protection of the public against the representation on the part of those engaged in the profession by providing for the issuance of certificates of ap- plicants presenting to the secretary of state sworn statements of their prep aration and qualifications. Among the conditions prescribed are the follow ing:
 1. That each and every person prac-
 ticing music teaching in the state of
 California shall. within six months
 after this becomes a law, register as
 a music teacher with the secretary of
 state who shall issue a certificate to
 the applicant. That the fee for such
 registration and certificate shall be s2.
 2. That in making application for
 registration the applicant must state
 what his claims are to the right to
 teach music; with whom, where and
 how long he has studied; what diplo-
 mas, if any, he possesses
 8. That before presenting any such
 statement for registration it must be
 sworn to by the applicant before a
 public notary.
 Then follow the penalties for viola tion of the law. Secretaries of state

Optimistic Feeling Prevails

s'While business improvement has not come as fast in the east as had been hoped for a felling of real optimism prevails and better times are now looked for in the near future said A. f. Tressler of New York.
 ''The west Is certainly prosperine and in some of the northwestern cities business is fairly booming. In the east ern states business is far better than 1t was even three or four weeks ago One of the most encouraging facts re- garding business conditions is the substantial improvement in the south, due to the better prices which cotton is bringing. It seems to be generally believed among prominent men in this country that the European war will come to an end during the present year and that when 1t does end this coun- try will at once enter upon an era of prosperity unparalleled in the history of America

TALKING ABOUT COOKS
By BILL VINES

, time in an earnest study of the Bible as well as the secular press. She was convinced that the enly salvation for wicked and undone race was fasting. and whenever she thought it was our duty to fast she attended to 1t with great detail. At such times as her many social obligations and religious society meetings would permit her, she would drop in on us and collect her last weeks wages and cheer us up With a few select quotations from St. Paul. and impart to us the general in- formation that it was carrier for a camel to go through the eye of needle than for the predatory rich to take anything but southerly course when they croaked, or words to that effect.
 We swapped her off for a sad-eyed nigh school graduate who regarded the war in Europe as a personal af- front. She read the morning and aft ernoon papers and would become so absorbed in the cruel details that the broiling beefsteak would be reduced to state of total insolvency. She was entirely neutral-always giving us half of what she cooked taking the other half home. She believed abso- lutely that food supplies should not be listed as contraband and stoutly upheld that principle. We attempted to place an embargo on foreign ship ping, but she ran the blockade with a persistent regularity. Fond of her as we were forced to give her up or go into involuntary bankruptcy. So we parted and while the initials on our silver spoons do not jingle with her family crest, we still hope that they may be of use to her.
 We now have a new one. How she will turn out I wot not, but we have resolved to do the best we can for her. We sit awake nights devising schemes for her amusement and think strongly of moving our apartment so that we will be contiguous to q nov ing picture show, of which she is very fond. She is also fond of music, so [ am now dickering for a new victrola. one must make home pleasant at all costs and reduce to the minimum the constant and. haunting fear that the cook won't come"

The fact that Dr. George H. Denny, rresident of tho University of Ala hama. has received a tempting offer to become the head of the educational de- partment in northern state, with direct supervision of several instltu- tions, will create no surprise, Tor he IS A national figure in the educational world: but should he see fit to accept the cffer his friends in Albama and the friends of the great institution at Tuscaloosa which he has builded up would be filled with profound regret
 The University's president is not cnly man of ripe scholarship, but he has developed extraordinary capacity for administrative duties. His ideals are high and his enthusiasm is com polling. He loves his work and no edu- cator was ever more tireless in the per formance of his tasks.

LOVE AMONG THE CLOVER

 "If you dare" she said. And o, her breath was clover-swcetl Glover nodded over her. Her lips were clover-red. Blackbirds fluted down the wind, The bobolinks were mad with joy, The wind was playing in her hair, And If you dare.' she said. Clover billowed down the wind Far across the happy fields, Clover on the breezy hills Leaned along the skies; And all the dancing, holding flowers And little clouds with silver sails And all the heavens dreamy blue Were mirrored in her eyes. Her laughing lips were clover red When long ago I kissed her there And made. for one swift moment, all My heaven and earth complete. I've loved among the roses since And love among the lilies now, But love among the clover- Her breath was clover-sweet. o wise, wise-hearted boy and girl Who played among the clover blooml think I was far wiser then Then now l dare to be.
 For I have lost my Eden now, cannot find my Eden now And even should I find 1t now, I've thrown away the key.
