MUSIC FOR BACKBONE
OF AMERICAN NATION
Good Plain Music for Good
Plain People"

There has recently been put UP a
righteous lament on the part Of those
people who deep down In their hearts
confess a fondness for music but have
not the means or the opportunity to
foster 1t. They are the type OF people
TO whom the opera has no charms,
greatly because of It's technical intri-
cacies. and to whom the popular
songs OF the streets are equally un-
attractive. They are, IN short. the
ordinary, everyday people who make
mp the backbone of the nation and
who want something between the
highly evolved music Of the concert
and opera and the so-called popular
music Of the music halls.
Modern Concerts Need Technical
knowledge.
There really Ia "A problem in this
field. There is need for some popu~
lar-priced, disnined concert halls
throughout the country where peo-
pie might hear the melodies and
scores which have not been affected
by the new technique in this art:
where it would not he essential for

MUSIC IN BOOKS
AND MODERN PLAYS

1t is remarkable how great a part
music plays in those arts which lie
outside of the limits of it's town field.
Books have been written around q
song, and plays worked UP around a
melody. The Rosary is an example
of the first. A play now on the
boards in New York, THE Gypsy
Trail" is an instance of the second.
The lure of the song is great. People

while, for the duration Of the melody
at least, we live in glory Of the song
and Its associations. One thing has
remained the same and that is the
aong. The years have made no
change in the bea uty or the meaning
of that. In the face OF the constant
change and activities which mean
mans existence and the worlds pro-
gress, the song has remained tbs
same. With the keen insight of hui

cia tive of the power of the haunting
melody, and have made 1t the theme
OF their work.

The reason is purely psychological.
Memory always enhances the expert
er1ces of the past. The old life can
not be lived again. Very often even
the imagination fails to conjure up
the lovely dreams of the past. The
changes that the years have wrought
are too great TO make us entirely for

Red Cross Contest
Splendid Display

A full display of the hospital gar
ments, surgical dressings, knitted arr
ticles and hospital linen is on display
in the booth of the Cass County
Chapter OF the Red Cross in the Mer-
chants pavilion. One of the inter-
esting features Of this booth is the
chart showing the correct sizes for
socks that can be accepted by the
Red Cross and in contrast to this is
a collection OF mtsshapen and ILL
fitting socks, which must be- unravel-
led and knit over again before they
can be accepted. Again a plea is
made for knitters to follow directions
for the knitting Of socks, thus saving
a great deal Of time and yarn.
In the same booth the Fargo COM
mittee Of the Red Cross Nursing Ser
vice has its headquarters, in
charge of Mrs. Paul Boleyn. Men
ton is made that enrollments for the
course in Elementary Hygiene and
Home Care OF the Sick" will be re-
ceived at this booth. A great demand,
is being made for women to take this
course and upon completion Of it they
are eligible to service as nurses aids
in the French hospitals. This action
is being taken on account Of the
shortage Of nurses. Glasses will be
started as soon as is members have
enrolled, and as soon as one class
has completed the course, another
will be started. Fifty thousand wo'm-
en- took the course last year.
