FOR MUSIC TEACHERS
Bill In Legislature % Raise Require
mcnts in Kansas.

The music teachers of Kansas may
be reql'-.ed to conform to similar
standards Of efficiency that are now
required of teachers in the public
schools. This does not mean just the
music teachers employed in the pub
lie schools but every teacher who un-
dertakes teaching young America how
to sing or play musical instrument.
The state board of education has
drafted a bill which would require
teachers Of music in the pubic
schools to take examinations and re-
ceive certificat Of efficiency before
being able to get job. This Dill
would also fix certain standards FOR
music teachers. The Kansas Music
-~acners association has been, Tor
some time, providing examinations
and granting certificates of efficiency
to members of it's association VINO
passed the examinations. 1t is ex-
pected hat the standards set by the
state ISOLATION will become the
standard of efficiency for the music
instructors in the public schools ana
may become the standard FOR all
music teachers.
The state association of music
teachers is now at work drafting
coui; Re Of study in music for public
vatories. outlining the work for all
grades of music pupils in all the
branches of the art. 1t is also pro-
y ,sed to authorize the state board OF
education to adopt a standard course
of study for music, the same as is
provided for all other subjects in the
schools of the state.

Beauty Of the Dove,

The mourning dove received it,
given name from the mournful sound
of its call notes. Its sad-voiced COO,
coo, coo. suggests moaning and, next
to the awful, storm-beaten wall of the
screech owl, 1t is, under certain condi-
tons, the most doleful sound uttered
by an American bird l knew one SEN
sitive woman who was so affected by
the daily mourning of a neighboring
dove that she begged a sportsman to
frighten it away. Another peculiar
fact about this bird is the strange mu-
steal note that is sounded by the vibra-
ton of its wings. AS the bird springs
from the ground in flight, or wings its
way overhead, the pulsations of it's
wings give forth ringing, metallic
sound. like the twanging of a tight
wire. This dove loves country roads.
more than any other bird, and to those
who love beautiful things, its exquis-
itely nodded form and immaculate
plumage is always pleasing touch Of
nature. One might as well try to de-
scribe in words the colors in q Ere
opal a. those of this bird.

the carriers in seeking advances have
not followed the scale laid down by the
commerce commissions ruling in the
Oklahoma case, altho this scale has
resulted in increasing revenues of the
carriers Touching on the extent to
which damage claims cuts in to the

that they had but one damage claim of

DEATH IN IOWA. STORM.
Aged Woodbury. County Man Drowned
Crops Damaged.

Sioux City, May 3.-One Woodbury.
county man, an old resident, lost his
life and crops suffered much damage in
a storm Of rain, wind and hail which
covered a great part of the territory
contiguous to Sioux City on the north,
east, south and west.
Fruit trees in this section We're hit
hard wherever the hail commandment
was severe. Blossoms were stripped
from orchards and many branches were
whipped down. The wind, which
reached maximum velocity of fifty
five miles an hour at Sioux City, was a
destructive agent against young trees
Small creeks and dry runs were
changed into torrents by the sudden
and voluminous downpour. 1t was in a
stream of this sort that q Bronson
farmer was drowned.
Lars F'riese, II years old, who lives
one and half miles east of the town
Of Bronson, lost his life while driving
toward his home about o'clock last
evening. In spite Of warnings of small
boys who were playing near the spot.
he attempted to ford an ordinary small
creek which had risen six feet above
normal.
Il guess I can make It," Mr.. Friese
returned, guiding his horse into the
water
When he was about in the middle of
the stream the boys saw his buggy tip
over. Their cries brought to the scene
Lewis Law and Otto Maxey. They
found Friese, still living. under bridge
forty rods from the ford. He died a few
minutes later, despite efforts to revive
him. The horse also was drowned and
was carried about eighty rods down
stream.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN CANAL

MALARIA AND KINDRED

Employees Reduced More Than 50

-Measles Partially Responsible.

Washington, May 3-The report Of
the department of health of the Pana 4
ma canal for the last calendar year
shows that the American sanitary Off
GERS on the canal zone are meeting
with remarkable success in combating
maleria
Those other diseases so likely to visit
white men in tropical climates, dysen-
try and typhoid fever, are also being
COPIED with successfully.
The report shows. that no deaths oc-
Cured among Americans in the canal
zone in the year 1914 from malaria.
dysentry, or typhoid fever. Yellow
fever, as is we'll known, has long since
been banished from the canal zone by
the scientific efficiency and thorough
ness of the methods Of the American
sanitary officers.
Death Rate Reduced.
The fact is that malaria, not only
among the Americans in the canal re-
gion, but among the entire population
there, has been reduced to lower
point than ever before. In this con
nection, it appears, apart from the re-
port for the year 1914. that the mafarial
outbreaks among employees in the canal
zone. outside of Crlstobal and Toro
Point, were lower for the week ended
April II, than for any other week In
the history of the canal.
The report for 1914 shows that with
regard to malaria the death rate has
been reduced more than so per cent
since 1913. 1t was .16 IN 1914 and 81
in 1918. The admission rate to hospi-
tails has been reduced more than Is
per cent since 1913. This good showing
in malaria is attributed in part to the
measure requiring patients discharged
from the hospitals to continue the use
Of quinine for at least month and to
report to district physicians.
The health Of employees, more than
half of whom live in Panama City. was
better in 1914 than in any previous
year The total death rate for 1914 was
704 as against S.35 for 1918.
Pneumonia Increases.
The pneumonia death rate increased
considerably. owing to prevalence OF
measles among the black employees
and the over-crowded conditions In
which the people live in Panama. the
Ave diseases causing the highest num-
Der of deaths. in their order, are pneu :
monia, tuberculosis. nephritis. organic
diseases of the heart. and malaria
In the latter half of 1914, periodic
physical examination was made of all
food handlers in the kitchens. mess
rooms and commissaries OF the Pana-
ma canal with the result that one
typhoid carrier and a number of cases
of contagious diseases were detected
and eliminated This doubtless pre-
vented much disease among employees.
In Colon and Panama, the figures
show a high infant mortality due to
ignorance and Indifference on the part
Of mothers.

Most Valuable Metal.

In estimating the value Of any metal
We are Spt to consider only the IN
trinsic money value Of a given guam
tity, and from this view gold is gen
orally regarded as the most valuable
metal. But this is a mistaken notion.
Value consists not merely In pound
for pound money worth, but ought to
include full consideration OF service
ability and usefulness. Taking these
into account, scientific writer points
out that iron Is the most valuable
metal, because Of the many different
ways in which it Is Of great service to
man. In this respect 1t Is Of the great
est value, and the world Is fortunate In
the great amount OF 1t available.

Dict Of Ancient Athletes.

The actual diet used by the ancient
Greek athletes consisted of certain
kind of cheese, specially prepared
from goats milk. Later on flesh
diet was introduced. The Romans, In
the early stages Of training, utilized
a vegetarian form Of diet, consisting
Of dried figs, new cheese, and boiled
grain. Later on, again. meat was
added to the list, but only one sort
OF flesh was thought suitable, and that,
curiously enough, was pork, an edible
absolutely banned by most modern
trainers. Galen most firmly main
tanned that pork contains far more
nutriment than any other flesh food.
1t certainly is avery significant fact
that the ancient athletes complained
that if .hev were forced. when In
training, to live upon anything else
but pork for any one meal their mental
and physical forces alike were ser
iously impaired.
