Power Of the Old Song.

Consider the old song. Immediate
ly all the things that make up the
present existence fade into dim OLE
scurity and for n while, for the dura.
tion Of the melody at least. we live In
glory Of the song and its association.
One thing has remained the same
and that Is the song. The years have
made no change In the beauty or the
meaning OF that. In the face OF the
constant change and activities which
mean mans existence and the worlds
progress, the song has remained the
same.
with the keen Insight Of human ma
ture, authors have been apprecative
Of the power Of the haunting melody
and have made II the theme of their
work.

Mental and Physical Work.

Mark Twain wrote as follows on this
subject:
"Thero are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly and complacently
about the working classes, and sat
isfy themselves that days hard In
tellectnnl work Is very much harder
than n days hard manual toll, and Is
righteously entitled To much bigger
pay. Why, they really think that. you
know, is because they know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
But know all about both; and 40 far
as I am concerned. there isn't money

PLAY SPELL is RECEsSITY
Why All Work and No Play Makes
Jack Dull Boy.

"All work and no play makes Jack
lived because of it's truth. 1t is quite
as true of the older boy as Of the
younger. Everyone needs recreation,
play spell. Neither mind nor body
can be kept constantly under tension
without exacting heavy penalty, says
a writer in the Milwaukee Journal.
The vacation is needed and pays in
renewed vigor of body and mind.
Keeping the spiritof:play. one keeps
from growing old too quickly. Many
trifling annoyance can be turned
away with merry heart that has
readiness to see the amusing side of a
thing, If one Is in good enough health
and spirits to see the funny side. A
happy, cheerful temper promotes COED
health, and good health promotes a
happy, cheerful temper. Do not be
forever afraid Of seeming foolish when
you play. It is good for you to relax,
to be inconsequential, to let a spirit
\ of play run riot for a time. Being
always on ones dignity takes from the
genial spirit and ages one too early.
Being in merry spirit help you do your
work easier. A task is lighter for the
hearts being light.
The more serious your occupation,
the heavier your cares, the more you
need play spell. However great you
may be, however important your occu-
patton, forget them both for a time
Let yourself loose from the tension Of
cares and become a child in spirit.
You will live longer and do better
work for 1t.

Wood In Musical instruments.

It is a fact that the supreme func-
ton of wood when employed in musi-
cal instruments, as sounding boards
in pianos, the top Of tho violin, the
organ pipe or the photograph horn, is
to modify and enrich the tones. They
originate elsewhere-in the piano.

in the pipe or the disk Of the phono-

beauties and enriches them in q
wonderful and mysterious manner,
and transmits them to the outer air,
from which the hearer receives them.
Therein lies the woods superiority

MAN AND BEAST NEED SLEEP
How Wild Animals Are Tanned BY
Being Kept Awake.

A person without sleep for nine days
will die. Sufferers from insomnia
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, while
it has been proved that they actually
sleep without being aware of it. AT
certain point, sleep Is inevitable, no
matter what the bodily condition, the
alternative being death.
A method Of tanning wild elephants
is said to be that Of depriving the AMI
mails Of sleep when first caught. In a
few days they become practically spir-
itless and harmless. The brain Of the
elephant Is held to be more highly de-
veloped than that Of any other wild
animal; but, Of course, as compared
with human being, can be easily
fatigued by new impressions and so
made dependent on sleep.

"REDS" LIBERAL IN
SUPPORT OF ART

RUSSIA Is q land OF paradoxes,"
said Serge Prokofien in an interview
in Musical America, Just after the
arrival in America of this ultra
modern, futurist composer.
while the state OF affairs in gen.
eral grows darker and darker, and
the whole social and economic equi-
librium OF the country has been over
turned, one might think that the
present government, which 1 am con-
WINGED cannot endure, and which is
part and parcel OF the existing chaos,
would be the last to give time and
money to the arts. And there We
have one OF the paradoXes in ques-
ton. 1t is the Bo'shevist government,
under which a clean collar has be-
come a symbol Of Imperialism and the
hallmark OF bourgeois, and under
which / found IL necessary to wear
a red shirt In Petrograd to show that
my heart was not black-from its
point OF view-that is providing lib
orally for Russian art and artists.
"The Bolshevist government keeps
all the ex-imperial theaters running
in Petrograd and Moscow, and pays
the artists and musicians we'll The
former Court Orchestra plays on
Sundays in what used to be the i'm
perial chapel as before, under the
name of the State Orchestra Kouss-
whisky directing; though the imperial
intendant, General-Count Stachelberg,
has disappeared.
while ] was In Petrograd last
year during the season, there were
sometimes as many as three impor-
tant concerts given In the same hall
the same day, and had to wait
month for a hall in which to give
piano recital.
Eyes, these same Bolsheviki who
seem to regard cleanliness and the
little decencles OF life as the sinister
stigmata OF reaction, are paying dis
tinguIshed artists big salaries, 10000
to $4,000 roubles; are paying for the
production in sumptuous style OF new
operas, ballots, dramas; have made
the famous painter Benoit an unof-
fcial minister of fine arts-for they
say that artists work hard and are
a genuine source OF national wealth
and glory.
'Their political principles and the
application they make Of them l can
only condemn, but with their views
regarding the fine arts / am heartily
in accord. OF course, this active mu-
steal and theatrical life is more or
less intermittent: and there were
months when during party struggles
for supremacy, all theaters and con-
cert halls closed at o o'clock, and the
entire absence OF police control ex-
posed anyone who ventured to use
the streets much after that hour to-
robbery and assassination. 1t Is a.
pleasure for me to think that the
very valuable library Of old music,
much OF Il In ms, at the Petrograd
Conservatory, has been safely re-
moved to various central towns,
where Il is preserved.
