 Since the village was abandoned by the Indians the buildings have been rapidly falling into d state of dilapidation and decay. and cer- tain amount of vandali m by tour ists and souvenir hunters renders some form of protection essential. An examination of the area was made jointly by representatives Of the forest service and of the interior department, and reports strongly urg- ing the establishment of a national monument were approved by the secretaries of both departments. The Smithsonian Institution strongly en- dorsed the proposition for the es- tablishment of a national monument The new national monument will be protected and administered by the forest service. as is the case with all monuments located within the national forests

TEACHES MUSIC
 BY PHONOCRAP H

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Dec. 11.-Oe- layedl When a music pupil or sing CT nowadays feels that he is going off a bit in hIs singing and is flat ting" some of his notes. but still does not know exactly where the trouble lies, all he has to do is to make a photographic record of his voice and then listen to 1t as the in strument plays his song. This is in accordance with the latest meth od of teaching music, as employed at the School of Music of the Uni yersity of Iowa.
 The method was originated by Pro lessor William E. Hays, who says it is quite simple. When a student begins voice culture a record of his voice is cut. Other records are made as he progresses. When the professor or pupil wishes to study defects carefully or to ascertain how the voice is developing or what pro gress is being made, it is very easy to play the record on the phono- graph as many times as may be necessary
 T have long realized the need for such a system" Professor Hays said. "It is needed to convince the student of imperfect tone or tech nique. l had a girl year or two ago who constantly slurred her notes. I told her so repeatedly, but she couldn't believe it. Now, in such a case, I merely produce a record and have the student sit back and listen to his or her own defects
 Professor Hays method already has attracted wide attention, and Is now being used in other conser- vatories of music in the east

ALASKA INDIAN
 VILLAGE MADE
 INTO PRESERVE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. The "Old Kassan National Monu- ment," consisting of 3S acres within the Tongass National Forest, Alaska. has just been created by presidential proclamation as a result of recom- mendations made by the secretary of agriculture. The tract embraces the well known abandoned Haida h. dian village of Old Kassan, situated on Prince of Wales Island in South eastern Alaska, about thirty miles west of ketchikan
 The village was abandoned by the Indians about ten years ago. Among the relics which remain there are about fifty Indian totem poles, five or six of which are classed as ex- ceedingly good specimens. In the deserted village there are also eight large square buildings which were originally constructed according to the peculiar plan of the Haida In dians, and which, it Is stated by those best qualified to know, repre- sent the best specimens of Haida architecture that now exist. The largest of these buildings is ap- proximately 40 by 60 feet in size and is made entirely of round and

UNITED STATES SHOULD SECURE
 ITALIAN TRADE

Associated Press Correspondence)
 ROME, Italy. Nov.-James Francis Case. civil engineer representing the American International corpora tion in Italy and Spain, has just completed his first inspection of busi- ness possibilities in Italy. One gen eral conclusion he has drawn is that American firms should do all Do. sible to lower the present high rates of exchange with the conclu- sion of the war.
 Said MT. Case to a pondent of The Associated Press: "It has been widely stated that American business in Europe will suffer after the war from the high value of the dollar. compared to other money, forcing these nations to buy from need. For instance. let Us consider a pair of American shoes worth four dollars of our money. Before the war four dollars were worth just over twenty lire. For all that the lire has still the same buying power in Italy, or in Russia, and even more in Austria or Germany, where the mark has depreciated. Naturally, if an Italian can buy a pair of shoes in another country where his lire has a better value than in the Unit ed States, he is going to do so.
 "The solution of this exchange problem is inducing these countries to send us their goods to increase the exchange is now high is not so much that Europe's credit is bad with us, that we have no faith in her future pro perity; it is because we are not receiving as much goods from her as before the war.
 T have no fear, however, that American business will be seriously handica pped in Europe by our higher exchange. Take Russia. Her ruble has lost third of it's value merely because she cannot get her wheat and other products to market. So soon as the war is over these goods will go to market and her ruble will go to it's old place."
 Regarding Italy's business, MT. Case said: Italy does not enjoy the credit she should. She is a wealthy country and my principal reason for making this statement is that any country is bound to be wealthy which has an honest, thrifty. hard working population such as she is blessed with. We Americans do not appreciate the fact that she is III reality young COuHtiy, llIdl Sllc has not been united for more than thirty years, though the date of union runs back to 1870.
 At present I do not find much in clination to consider new business in Italy, because every mind is still preoccupied by the war. But so soon as it is out of the way, Italy will become a fine field for Ameri- cans, not only for detail business but for big public improvements. like the identification of railroads to eliminate expensive coal bills, and the establishment of more electric power plants for factories.
 "The American should find a ready market here and be well re- ceived because as rule the Italians know much more about our country and it's products than we do about Italy"
