INFLUENCE OF MUSIC ON
WAR WEARY SOLDIERS.

While the legislators in the house Of
representatives have voted to put a
heavy tax on musical instruments and
music because they regard them as a
luxury" comes the story from London
telling of how Lena Ashwell, an ac-
tress, has been raising great fund to
provide music as the chief solace for
wounded, weary soldiers. And Miss
Ashwell not only raises the money, but
furnishes the talent Funds are com
ing to her from every part of the Brit?
ish empire. Thousands of concerts
have already been given, and they are
planning for thousands more.
Music" said Miss Ashwell, in a re-
cent interview, SIS looked upon as the
best medicine at the front, thing
which re-establishes the nervous equil-
ibrium more quickly than does any
thing else. Frequently we have known
stretcher patients brought in, muddy
and bloody from the trenches, to call
for music before they asked for food or
drink, or even surgical attention
"You would think" concluded Miss
Ashwell, that howitzers and bombs,
and rifles and bayonets, are the most
useful warlike instruments, but more
important even than these is morale,
and nothing else makes so powerfully
for morale as does the simplest and
greatest music. We sing and play
health into the soldiers in France, Nal
to, Egypt and right up to the firing
line in Palestine,
eve who have played and sung be-
fore soldiers often close behind the
firing lines never can erase from
cur minds those scenes. The thousands
of men in khaki blur into one vast
impression of faces, alert, intelligent
full of magnetism, sympathy and i'm
agination. Think of what it means
for men who are deprived of every
thing, and never know what moment
they may die, to hear the sweet, pene-
trating notes of the violin, the magic
appeal of the human voice."
When you read this, turn your eyes,
then. on washington, where a majority
of the legislators consider music as
outside the serious matters of life,
purely a luxury that can be afforded
hy the rich, if they want to paw for it.
You come inevitably and logically to
the conclusion that, so far as the low-
or house of Congress is concerned, II
shoull be termed the "Misrepresenta-

COUNCIL Of NATIONAL DEFENSE
.ACCOMPuSHE5. DESIRED RESULTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
Accomplishments of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, its advisory commission
and it's committees since the council
was finally organized last March are
set forth in comprehensive report
made public by Director Clifford.
Only eighty persons, according to
Director Chords report, are drawing
salaries, and most of these are clerks
and stenographers.
More than one hundred highly trained
men, says the report, are giving their
ientire time to the council without re-
Enumeration. Several hundred more, it
says, are giving free large part of
their time.
The chief accomplishments of the
council are summed up by Mr.. Clifford
as follows:
Mobilization of the 100000 miles of
railroads of the country for the govern
ment's defense.
"Close-knit organization of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies OF
America to insure the government the
most rapid and efficient wire communi-
cations.
Settlement of the recent threatened
national railroad strikes.
General acceptance by labor and
capital of the suggestion of the council
hat existing labor standards should not
De changed until the need for such
action had been determined by the
council with the steadying influence on
industry growing out of such action.
Procurement of 100000 pounds
of copper for the uses of the army and
navy at less than one-half of the then
current market price-a saving to the,
government of approximately 100000
Geo.
Similar accomplishments as to
steel, zinc and aluminium.

board, of many of the most highly
qualified surgeons and physicians OF

work. This committee is said to have
saved the government millions of
dollars in the purchase of supplies
All army and navy contracts, before
signed, are submitted to the committee
for approval, and the committee, in
many instances, has instituted new
purchasing systems. Associated with
the committee are a large number of
subcommittee made up of experts on
various commodities.
The committee on raw supplies,
headed by Bernard M. Baruch, of New
York, has organized the purchase of
raw materials. 1t saved the govern

Samuel Gompers' committee on la

disputes and maintaining existing la
Dor standards.
The committee on industrial prepar-
edness has obtained $4,000 detailed re-
ports from the country's larger manu-
featuring plants as to capacity to meet
the governments industrial and mill
tary needs during the war. This infor-
nation, the report declares, will prove
invaluable in placing orders for sup
plies.
Engineering problems are being
studied by an engineering committee.

LEGISLATORS TELL OF WAYS
ADOPTED TO DODGE DRY LAW

ATLANTA, Ca, June 29-Legisla-
tors gathered here from the four cor
ners of the state are telling one an
other many interesting stories of the
ways and means they have devised to
get along since they passed the bone
dry law. They haven't had much else
to do since they arrived in Atlanta,
owing to the deadlock in the speaker
ship race, and if the thirsty layman
could hear them expound the clever
schemes to which they have ben fore
ed to resort as the result of their own
action in passing the law, he would
doubtless wonder why they made the
state so dry.
A north Georgia legislator tells this
one:
"The other day went home and my
mother said: Jim, here's. a gallon OF
water your neighbor, Mr.. Jones, sent
over while you were gone. He said
the change of water up there in At
lanta might disagree with you, and he
didn't want you to get down sick that
far from home What she handed me
was a glass jug holding a COLON, and
the contents looked like water? Do
you get me?
Another legislator has discovered
that corn liquor makes one of tn efnest
mint juleps in the world.

DISASTER ON LOWER RIVER WILL PROVE VERY COSTLY
 TO INSURANCE COMPANIES

A barge loaded with some seventy five tons of oats and hay besides a quantity of furniture which was be- ing transported by the steamer Wash burn to Fairbanks, struck snag on the lower Iditarod river, about twen- ty miles below Dikeman, and sank in twenty feet of water. The feed will be an almost total loss, but most of the furiture was salvaged. The disaster occurred on June says the Iditarod Pioneer.
 The Washburn left Iditarod on June 3. The big shipment of feed was to relieve a shortage at Ruby and Fairbanks, and was expected to SUD- ply the market until the arrival of the first boats from the outside. The furniture was shipped by Joseph H. smith of this city for use in his new hotel at Fairbanks. About twenty tons of oats was saved by the crew of the Washburn and taken to Fair banks. The balance was a total loss.

 Bills may be washed without show ing the slightest signs of fading. The washed bills are sterlized and free from odor. A record of washing 5000 notes an hour has been attained by experts.
 The machine was designed by Bur gross Smith of the experimental force of the bureau of printing and en- graving and was constructed at the bureau under the direction of Joseph F. Ralph.

Rubbing, rinsing, drying and iron ing a wash whose value varies be- tween five thousand and half a mil- lion dollars, is the daily record at Uncle Sans money laundry which has bee ninstalled at the subtreasury building at San Francisco.
 This big wash, which consists of notes of different denominations, is made possible by the new money laundry machine-the sixth of it's kind in the United States.
 Formerly all old notes that were stained or badly soiled from handling, were destroyed. With the laundry machine, these note are made to look as good as new and in each sub treasury where one has been installed there is saving of over three hun dred dollars a day to the govern ment.
