to man were shy and slow of speech each one was trying to boost his own game, with never boost for his neigh- bor, was happy to see such remarkable boise and ability among the women inter- ested in music.
 In speaking of the foreign artists who come to us in comparison to the small number we have of our own MT. L.iebling said some interesting things:
 "Commerciaism plays large part in that sort of thing" he said. "Our men and women are not content to go through the drudgery of study and application that every artist kows must be endured. A girl picks up paper and reads about Geraldine Farrar getting $3000 a night; about her jewels and the attention she has showered upon her; she Immediately thinks she can duplicate the success, without any preparation especially; she goes to Europe, studies a year, comes back a finished artist-as she thinks ready to draw thousands of dollars a year. This to me is a pitiful state; 1t is pathetic to see parents who imagine that their children are geniuses, when as a matter of fact they are merely tal- ented."
 Would standardization in music help that any?" I asked, mot only in the mat ter of teaching, but with artists?
 
 .sbut only under those conditions. A teacher who meets the standards say in Birmingham and who goes to well-say, Texas--to teach, wouldn't come up to the standard there, because it is different. Standardization is great idea if it is done correctly; otherwise it is of no practical use"
 "As for artists, composers, and the resi- MT. Iiebling said in conclusion and he knows. for he has every oppor- tunity of discerning; as a librettist in con- junction with MT. John Philip Sousa in '"rhe American Girl; as the successful author of Vera Violetta.'' ''The Girl and the Kaiser" and the American ver- sion of "The Balkan Princess" he has had wide experience-"we have just as good material in America as anywhere else. Genius admits of many different definitions; to me there is no such thing now as a flower that is born to blush

MONTANA WOMEN
OUT FOR HUGHES
Branch of National ALI
ance Formed in Helena,
Miss KellOr Announces.

Miss Frances Kellor, chairman Of
the Women's Committee of the Nation
al Hughes Alliance, announced yester-
day that the organization work Of the
league has spread already as far as
Montana. She said telegram had
lust been received announcing the for
nation Of a woman's branch Of the al
lance at Helena. The telegram was
signed by thirty-four representative
women of the city.
Miss Kellor said she had been asked
frequently why women should form a
Hughes Alliance. One reason. she said,
was that there were 100000 women
voters. She added:
"Mr. Wilson uses the word pre-
paredness' freely, but we have neither
a policy nor plan Of preparedness. A
military system which rushed its men
70 the Mexican border equipped as
were our men from New York is GER
tainly not prepared. -.
"A system which leaves the families
of these men to fy-by-night philan-
thropic organizations to keep them
from starving is an indication Of our
pitiful need of a national plan.
81 believe the time has come when
women must work for the things they
believe in within party lines. For
many years the women workers OF TINS
country have been outside party lines
doing things for which the parties
took the credit.
For the first time the Republican
party has opened the door to women
workers on acceptable terms. We are
no longer invited as rubber stamps,
errand boys and auxiliaries, but as en-
rolled party workers. We propose to
line up the women's vote, not as sex
matter, but because it represents the
power by which we can have the things
in which we believe recognized.
at is significant of the work women
intend to do that the first task has
been the compilation of Mr.. Hughes's
record as Governor for campaign use.
We are going TO enroll in the Hughes
Alliance every woman who will work
for Hughes from the Atlantic 70 the
Pacific. For the next four months we
will get votes. After election We will
do our best to see our measures and
ideals woven into the fundamental life
of America"
