In Hopfnger VS.. Young. In the Kansas
city Court Of Appeals, Missouri. II was
held that where plaintiffs minor son
roller skated down n sidewalk to a
street crossing at a negligent rate Of
speed, so that he was unable to change
his course 70 avoid running into an auto
mobile driven by defendant owners
chauffeur in the course NJ his employ
ment. WHO was negligent In not seeing
the child. as did the other occupants OF
the car, soon enough to stop It to avoid
the collision. which he might have done,
the owner of such ear was liable TO the
plaintiff for the boys resulting death.
ON this point the court said
"In the argument of the demurrer to
the evidence which defendant insists
should have been given, counsel Tor both
parties proceed from the hypothesis that
the hoy was negligent in law In racing
downhill on a public sidewalk at such
high speed. under conditions which de-
prived him Of the power to stop ut the
street crossing or even to alter his
course. His negligence. thus conceded,
will be assumed for present purposes.
and will be regarded as a potent cause
OF the p~erilons situation which arose
from the cooperation of that cause with
the act of the chauffeur In driving the
car across his unalterahle course over
the crossing. II required the Joint ac-
ton OF both OF these agencies to pro.
duce the injury; since the hoy would
have clea red the crossing In safety II the
car had been kept out OF his way. and
the passing car would not have been a
menace TO his safety " he had not LOST
control over himself by his own negli-
gence."

s|ST|NE CHAPEL CHOIR
WILL MAKE CONCERT TOUR OF
THE UNITED sTATEs-UNIQuE
HISTORY OF CHOIR.

An announcement of considerable.
Importance in the forthcoming musical
season in New York is that the chief
soloists of the Sistine Chapel Choir:
have been granted permission by the
Vatican authorities to..leave Italy for
the first time in the history of the
choir and make concert tour of the
United States.
Their program will be devoted to
selections from classical opera and
modern sacred and secular song.
The history of the choir is rather
unique. 1t was founded by ST. Syl-
vester I, whose pontificate lasted
from 314 to 337 and its name was de-
rived from Sixtus w, who built the
Capella Sixtina in 1477. The choir
was endowed by Gregory l (the Greatl
the actual founder of choir singing,
and in whose pontificate, which lasted
from $50 to 604, the choir began to
attract the attention of the then civil
lied world. 1t was not, however, until
the pontificate of John XIX 1024-1032,
when the monk Guido d'Arrezo in
vented the Gamut and laid down the
foundation of harmony that the choir
began to climb to that eminence of
perfection from which it has never
receded as a musical organization dur.
ing 227 of the 260 actual pontificates,
When Gregory XI returned to Rome
after the seventy years exile of the
Holy See at Avignon, France, the old
Gregorian School of Singing was ANAL
gamated with the new school and the
most eminent singers and composers
of Europe made the Schola Cantorum
under which title the choir was en-
dowed, the central seat for the knowl
edge and cultivation of vocal music
