AS yon know, the single noteS are
the letters of the music language
Groups of notes are the words OF the
music language. In spoken language
the letters are always sounded one
after the other. In the music language
they are sometimes sounded one after
the other and sometimes simuitane
ously.
This fact explains two important d
visions of musie-nameiy, melody and
harmony. In a general way. melody
consists of single tones heard one after
the other; combinations OF tones heard
simultaneously are called harmony. A

ONE UMPIRE IN THE MINORS.
Small Leagues Will Effect Material
Saving In Arbitrators

The minor leagues are not only going
to cut salaries of players and limit the
number a clnb can carry down to a
minimum, but most OF the little leagues
intend to drop the double umpire sys-
TEN and work but one official next sea
son.
This means a big, saving, for the UNI
pires even in the small leagues draw
on an average $3.50 "A month, and in
the Southern league, where they have
been carrying eight men. they will
save about 1000 month on umpires'
salaries alone, not to speak of the cut
in travelling expenses.
The International and American as.
sociations will probably not adopt the
single umpire system. The Pacific
Coast and the Western leagues, how
ever, are going to make the cut in the
STATS.

CURRENT THINKING
LUXENIBURG

Writing of the little Duchy OF
Luxembourg which figured 50 promi-
nently is now lost in the shuttle OF
peace while the world around it is
fighting, a National Geographic So
ciety bulletin says:
"The tiny, Independent State of
Luxemburg has been almost lost sight
of while Europe is fighting its great
war. Vast war armies swept over
this infant monarchy at the beginning
of the war passed beyond and left it
all undamaged far behind the battle
lines.
Luxembourg was in no position to
oppose the passage of an empires
forces, and therefore quietly submit
ted to the passage of the German ar
my. Hence it is still the possessor Of
a well-developed industry of smiling
fields and meadows, and Of a people
happy in the security of their young

2. Better housing, including
the destruction of unduly con-
gested areas in cities and the
prevention of their re-estab-

3. More practical education
for the young, particularly
along vocational lines, in the

A. Improved labor laws, in
cluding restriction of the hours
of labor and compensation for
accidents to employees.
5. Adequate relief in their

acter with young children de-
pendent upon them.
Insurance against unemploy-
ment began with the out of
work benefits paid by labor
unions. Before the national
insurance act was passed in
Great Britain in 1911 such
benefits were enjoyed in eighty
one of the 100 principal unions,
which expended for this pur-
pose about one-third of their
total incomes.
