ORNSTEIN, BOY AND MAN.


Leo Ornstein already has biog-
rapher. Frederick H. Martens, in
a book "Leo Ornstein: The Man
His Ideas, His Work." (Breitkopf &
HarteD writes:
"Ornstein to many represents an
evil musical genius wandering in a
weird No-Man's Land haunted with
futuristic despair, with cubist shrieks
and post-impressionistic cries and
crashes" Born in Russia, the boy
suffered persecution with his peo-
pie there. He was eyewitness of the
revolution of 1905 in Petrograd.
Heard by Holman in his native
Kremenchug, he later played for
Glazounow at the Petrograd Conser-
vatory. "At the test he gave an I'm
conscious exhibition of his posses
sion Of perfect pitch. The piano,
though not out of tune, had been
tuned half-tone lower than ordin
airy, and the boy of 8 years, SEN
sitive to the change, transposed at
sight pieces by Bach and Mozart.
Glazounow was interested, and had
him play three-part inventions of
Bach blindfolded, and tell him the
names of the chords" Today for
Ornstein, the man, chords and dis
cords do not exist. A "Wild Mems
Dance" and dwarf Suite" typify
his ideas Of composition. "A subtle
musical intuition seems to prompt
their extremely plastic resolutions,
the reflection of a logic Of emotion
rather than of mathematical de-
sign"

Grease From Garbage
For Shell Explosive

Sufficient grease was recovered
from household garbage collected
during the month of May from eleven
American cities to make the eXplo-
sive charge for more than half a
million 75 nm. shells, besides millions
of pounds of soap and other products,
according to figures just issued by
the United States Food Administra-
tion. The garbage grease was suf-
ficient TO produce 10000 pounds of
glycerine, from which nitro -glycerine
is made. and for which there is a
big demand at this time.
The figures indicate an increase
in the amount of grease recovered
ticularly in Chicago. which showed
an increase well over 200 per cent
The entire amount of grease recov-
cred is an increase of 43 per cent
over May 1917. The returns are from
eleven cities having a total popula
tion of over 100000.
Since the campaign for garbage
utilization has been urged by the
Food Administration there has been
of garbage collected for reduction.
This does not indicate that there
are more foodstuffs being wasted
but that the cities are making a more
earnest effort to collect all available
garbage, instead of permitting it to
be buried, dumped, or otherwise not
utilized. A number of cities which
have been wasting garbage have TAX
en- steps to install reduction plants,
tanned in table and kitchen refuse
can be recovered

Shortage of Homes Adds
to Civic Woes of Danes

LondOn-A shortage of homes is
adding to the woes of residents of
Danish cities. Many brickyards, ac-
cording to a dane who has just re-
turned here from Copenhagen, have
had to close, with the result that
building virtually has ceased and fiat
hunting had developed into what
might be called fiat auctions.
If a fiat was advertised for rent in
the papers, probably a hundred per-
sons would assemble that day out
side the building. No one was ad-
mitted to the fiat, but the caretaker,
when he thought a large enough
crowd had collected, would throw
open his window and say something
like this
The rent of this fiat, ladies and
gentlemen, is so much a year. Which
of you will pay me most for arrang-
ing matters?"
The fiat famine has developed to
such an extent that the diligent fiat
seeker studies the death announce
ments. proceeds Immediately to the
resident and assails the mourners
with regard to the fiat.

Small Trees in Danger
From 17-Year Locusts

Trenton, n. J.-"Seventeen-y year"
locusts will invade sections of New
Jersey in 1919, appearing in the south
Jersey counties in the third week of
May and in the north Jersey coun-
ties a few days later. This predic-
tion is made by the state department
of agriculture. Nurserymen are war
ned to prepare against ravage by the
pest.
The tenth brood of seventeen
year" locusts appeared in this state
in 1902, when large areas in Warren
Hunterdon, Mercer. Somerset. Mid
dleday. Monmouth Ocean, Burlington
Camden, Salem, Gloucester and Cum
berland counties were infested
The department of agriculture
points out that the female locusts
cause damage by their habit of slit
ting, to deposit eggs, the terminal
twigs of larger trees and in the
trunks and branches of nursery and
other young fruit trees. on the large
trees the injury is a mere trimming,
as the twigs wilt and break, of per-
manent weakness. and sooner or later
the branch and even the trunk
breaks. Where the insect appeared
in 1902 there should be no pruning
of orchards and no young trees
should be set out until after the To-
Gusts have disappeared.
