strated by Fir. Perry.
The Edward Baxter Perry Lecture
Recital which was given at the Audi
forum as regular Lyceum number,
April 3rd, was very instructive and
entertaining. Mr.. Perry IS q very in
teresting speaker as well as pianist.
He said, '"The effort of an earnest
artist should be toward education rather
than entertainment. Music is an art
not an accomplishment; it is a study not
a pastime. 1t is in failing to recognize
this that the public makes its mistake.
The object of good music is to express
human experience, whether of the ex-
ternal world or in the psychic world;
All music is descriptive; Some deals
with the emotions or modes and some
with scenes.
Each composition has plot. It is
this plot which is OF the chief import
ance. The range in good music com
positions is limitless, for all music is
good If it represents what the composer
intends for it. -
Mr.. Perry explained the compositions
from the aesthetic stand point before
he played them. In this way the peo-
pie understood the composers object IN
writing it, and thereby appreciated it
more readily.
The program was as follows:

ALASKA TRADE REVIVAL
 FOR SAN FRANCISCO SURE

San Francisco, March 2 - The profitable trade with Alaska which
 at one time was San Franciseo's greatest commercial asset, is to be revived by the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company. Next season, with the opening Of the Arctic to naviga- tion, steamers will be dispatched from here direct to Nome and other cities.
 Thls announcement was made yes terday at the offices of the Pa- cific Coast Company in seattle. At the same time it was said that the famous steamer Senator will maze the first sailing from here and is now being converted from a coal to an oil burner. For ten years the Senator has been one of the first steamers of the season to depart for Alaska, taking out rich cargoes of supplies and returning with heavy shipments of gold and other ores.
 The important change in routing is made by the Pacific Coast Co., as a result, it Is said, of pro bibicicn in Washington. The new law prohibits the outward ship ment of iutoxicants originating in the state of Washington. Although it permits the transshipment of It. quOrs in the harbors, the company considers the transsbipment too eT- peusiYe,

AUTOMATIC TREATMENT
 OF WOUNDS IS SUCCESS


 Dr. Pierre Roux, director of the Pasteur Institute, has announced to the French Academy of Sciences that 2 remarkable advance in ser um therapy had been made as the result of a discovery by Dr. Bass uet.
 By his method it was possible to cleanse automatically, pr. RouI said, wounds which hitherto had re- sisted treatment.
 pr. Bassuet employs the polyval- ent serum discovered last year by Drs. Leclainche and Yallee. pr. Rour had APO wounded men, who had been in hospitals from six to fourteen months, were treated ac- cording to Dr. Bassuet's method. As a result the infection appeared to revive in the old wounds, he said. Assesses formed and burst spontaneously, eliminating bits of bone. splinters, bullets, pieces Of clothing and even drains and silver threads left in the incisiong by mistake.
 After this had happened, pr. Roux said, the wounds healed quick ly in most eases, and men who had been lying helpless for montbs were discharged as cured.

things of the world were concerned. Comes now pr. w. R. Morse, an instructor in a Chinese medical col lege at Szechuen, West China, g. 900 miles in the interior of the great Celestial empire and next to the mysterious TibetaR empire, who saw his first aerOplane in this Chinese city, far back in the hinter- land of the empire. Dr. Morse has been stationed. there six years, and when he left the United States aerOplaLes were few and far apart, and ncne had ever flown within the range Of his vision. Last summer, while featuring to a class, he heard humming drone in the air, and with the students rushed to the windowc and saw a modern aero plane. manned by a Chinese aviator, swoopi6g past and oyer the school building.
 Two American aeroplanes had been purchased by the governor of Szechuen to awe his 1,OOO,OO0 or more Citizens," said pr. Morse last night at the Frye. 'It seems a Queur thing that I should get my first glimpse of this wonder of mod ern science in a city 2,OOO miles in the interior of China, and so close to yelled Tibet that 1 could see the suow-capped mountains from the windows of my house. There is only one other modern invention that beat the aerOplane there, and that is the cinematOgraph Before I left China one had been installed in the city, and l am told it en- juyed excellent patronage"
 Dr. Morse is on his way home to Providence, R. l., with his wife aud 2-year-oId daughter for years furlOugh. He intends, if he can get permission from the Ameri- can Baptist Society, by which he is employed, to go to the front with the allies as a Red Gross surgeon. He enjoys the distinction of having given the first lectures in any city west of Shanghai with practical dis -,,tfrr- demonstrations
 While stationed in China, Dr. Morse has made a study of Chi nese medicine and has traced the development to 27OO B. C., when a famous emperor, who originated the practice of medicine in China, re- signed, According to the data tha+ pr. Morse collected, this per sonage, Huang ri, had supernatural powers so to learR the effects of drugs and herbs, had a pane in his stomach, a real pane of transparent material. He then swallowed diff ferent draughts and watched the effect on his own internal economy. The chinese believe in this story and I believe that their science Of medicine dates from this period" !" he said.-seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Chicago Feb 90. Wheat prices
broke severely today, influenced by d
genera! rush to sell as a result of
weakness at Winnipeg and Liverpool.
Receipts in Winnipeg were big and
Liverpool had word that the Australian
surplus was twice as large as any be-
fore obtained. There was also notable
increase in the European visible sup
ply. Declines were pronounced at the
opening, which ranged from ~ to
Az 94A cents down, with May at
1.20la to 1929. and July at 1.17k to
1.1SA. When comparative steadiness
had been restored the market was 11a
to ~ cents under Mondays closing
figures.
The close was unsettled. Is to Ia
and lka cents net lower with May at
1.2SA and July at 1.195s.
Corn.
Corn developed strength despite the
setback in wheat. Arrivals here turned
out to be much smaller than expected.
After opening Is "a to Is az off, the
market recovered and then made mod
crate net gains.
The close was firm at Is and l cent
to Is cents net advance.
Oats.
Oats showed more sympathy with
wheat than with corn. Trade was ac-
tive. but the bears were in the ma
jorlty.
Provisions.
Higher prices on hogs gave some
firmness to provisions. Pork, however.
seemed inclined to sag.
