ART VS.. BRICKS IN SYDNEY
A Peculiar Controversy In Australia
That Is Agitating Labor

Here Is a curious point of law or
logic presented In the Sydney IN. $.
W. Bulletin. The musicians union
of Sydney charges the Melbourne eight
hours procession with something like
scabbing because 1t decided that union
lists, even if they don't belong to the
musicians organization, may play in
its own ranks on the annual gala day.
There are arguments on both sides.
It seems hard that union bricklayer
shouldn't be allowed to blow his own
cornet in his own demonstration on n
holiday, yet if he found a professional
cornet-player laying bricks on a Good
Friday he might object. OF course the
man in the procession isn't playing for
hire, but then it wouldn't improve
things much if the cornet-player laid
bricks gratis.
The bricklayer might argue that
there are a certain number of bricks
that must be laid. so the co'net-
player would be doing another man
out of q job, while there isn't any
fixed amount of music that must be
blown, so an amateur might blow a
sample or two without depriving any
other man of crust. And the brick
layer probably says that the cornet-
player couldn't lay bricks oeccn.ly il
he tried, to which the cornet-player
possibly replies that the briclSlayer
can't make music.
To some extent II is n struggle be-
tween art and materialism. Music
properly played is capable Of arousing
the highest and noblest emotions Of
which the soul is capable; brick,
even If properly laid, isn't. And soul
isn't a thing to be lightly despised.
Eut here the tangible bumps against
the intangible. Nobody has seen Il
soul, while almost everybody has seen
a brick. .

RjFFED GROUSE SMART BIRD
Feathered Creature Takes Advantage
of His Natural Camouflage and
Is Hard to Shoot

The ruffed grouse is the greatest
game bird in this country and prob
ably is hit less than any BIRD in the
world with the possible exception of
the snipe.
Nature has endowed the ruffed
grouse with the means of protection
and the way the bird uses these means
makes him seem brainy creature.
The color of the ruifed grouse so
closely resembles the woodland sur
roundings in the fall that one may
almost walk on them without seeing
them. The bird, making use of its
coloring, generally lives in rugged
country, where underbrush and spruce
make his detection difficult.
Once flushed, the ruffed grouse flies
so as to put a tree between himself
and the hunter, adding to the difficulty
Of locating him. The bird, unlike quail,
is seldom found in coveys and conse-
qucntly is hard to hit.
The hunter must always be ready
with gun in position tC shoot and
shoot quick.
Work well the underbrush and little
spruces along the sides of ravines. Go
In the dense places In the woodland
for the ruffed grouse is a recluse.
The grouse, when once under way
will fly straight, and it is well to hunt
him with more than one in the party
The hunter who might be on the line
of flight is sure to get shot.
The ruffed grouse rises from cover
with thunderous precision and the sue
cessful hunter of this bird must leave
his NERVES" at home. The uninitiated
Is liable to be more frightened than
The bird.
Ruled grouse do not lie well to the
log, running speedily and quietly
ahead or the animal before making
light.

ASSERTS MUSIC MAY BE SEEN
English vioIinist Declares Winsome
Notes Can Be Displayed to Eye
as Well as to Ear.

That music may be translated into
color and displayed to the eye as well
rs to the ear is the new and highly
interesting theory developed by lisa
dore Berger, the English viollnist, ac.
cording to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Music and color, he declares, express
exactly the same emotions and feel.
ings, and therefore an opera or a
symphony may actually be turned into
color and seen. BY understanding the
interrelation of color and sound even
the deaf can learn to enjoy music
when expressed in color. Mr.. Berger
says:
"COlor is not to be an ACCOMPANY.
ment nor mere light effect, but "A
clear, logical expression of music. The
synchronism must be perceived emo
tiOnally rather than scientifically. For
instance, red always expresses passion,
anger temper or any intense feeling.
Yellow, the color of light, means love
and happiness. Blue Is the mystic
color. Modify the yellow of love with
the mystic blue and you have a violet,
Il pensive, sad emotion. All the other
grades Of emotion are the result Of
the blending Of passion, mystery and
love, or red, blue and yellow. They
ere three primary colors and the three
primary emotions"

TO RECLAIM DISABLED MEN
War Is Teaching Great Lesson as to
Possibilities In This lmpor-
tant Field.

The reclamation of the energies Of
all the disabled of the nation may be
taught by the exigencies Of war, ac-
cordlng to Maj. Harry e. Mock, NJ. r.
c., who in addressing the National
League of American Pen Women.
said:
"There, are in the United States
100000 persons who have been dis
abled In ndustries-probably more
than the total number of soldiers who
will be disabled through this war
yet neither government nor industry
has hitherto made thorough effort to
reclaim their energy. That is great
lesson this war has taught us. and
when we have won it we shall find
that, through deaths. cessation OF
immigration, and other causes, We
shall face great shortage In the la
Dor market. We shall then turn our
attention to the reclamation of all the
disabled and thus our country will
profit by the labor of all her sons and
daughters"

Coffee substitutes in Denmark.

For months coffee has been almost
understandable in Denmark. When any
is to be had 1t sells for as much as
IS a pound. This naturally has stimu-
lated the production Of coffee substi-
tutes. II is now reported that about
$4,000 tons Of various kinds of raw
materials have lately been used for
making these substitutes. One report
says that 5000 tons Of acorns, 1900
tons Of dandelion, 1,600 tons of chicory
and $500 tons of sugar beets have
been roasted. ground up, and sold for
coffee substitutes. Acorns sell for
about II cents a pound.

why the grass is green. Ask one

chlorophyll granules are green.
Because they consist of waxy sub

of rejecting the green ray" Mm-m!
but ask him what green ray is.

500, 100000 times per second"
A green vibration! 1t gets more

LOUDER THAN ANY THUNDER
Modern Gums Make Noise That 10 Far

Artillery"

Every big noise is compared to
thunder, as II heavens artillery were
the greatest noise imaginable. We
speak commonly of "the thunder Of the
guns" and the poets have always
spread themselves on the terrific can
nonade Of thunder storm. But the
plain fact is that mans artillery beats
the clouds into fits, IL the distance at
which each can be heard is any cri-
terion of the intensity and volume Of
sound. A,.r.
The gunfire in Flanders has been
heard in London countless times,
while 1t is quite impossible to say
how far the famous mineburst on thc
Vimy ridge, produced by human
agency, though not gunfire. could be
heard. But 1t Is doubtful v az ther Ge

One of the greatest thunder ctOrms
of recent years occurred in the Rich
mond area, but not a sound of 1t
reached London, and 1t is on record
that when the church steeple Of Lost
Withheld was destroyed by lightning to
the accompaniment of such a roar Of
thunder as the Oldest inhabitant could
not remember, no sound was heard 30
miles distant.
The explanation of this seeming
anomaly, is possibly the fact that
thunder Is produced In the air, and the
sound is conveyed by earth waves
