THE POWER OF MUSIC.

Strange stories of the power of mu-
light since the close of the war. This
is especially so in cases of the wound
ed "Silence, like a poultice, comes to
heal the blows of sound, says the
poet, and it is this healing power of
music on the nerves of the soldier who
went through the terrors of the war
where "the blows of sound found the
air riven with its torture from shells
and resounding cannon. Many minds
We're impaired through the awful
shock of war, and music has been used
effectually for the purpose of restoring
reason This treatment is called now
musico-therapy, and so well estab-
lished has the theory become that Co
lumbia University has decided to in
trOduce a course on it. 1t has been
found that music has been the cura-
tive agent best suited in certain cases
to restore lost memory. Modern sci
ence has accomplished many wonders,
but none more interesting than MAX
ing healing virtue out of musical
notes. 1t seems strange, vet more or
less natural, since the soldier returns
anxious to let pass from his memory
all thought of the strain and tension
of ear-splitting battle. Our lawmakers
in the large city centers do not always
accede to the public demand for pub
lie concerts, but many of them do, and
it has been the means of adding an
unqualified charm to residence in
those cities that offer the attraction.
The war will undoubtedly make music
more popular all over the world.

FLANDERS POPPIES,

Those famous lines of the war poet
In Flanders fields the peoples

and so on-are now known the world
over and as war poems go may be said
to have been made immortal. 1t is
said that some of the returning sol
diers from France have brought over
seeds of the peoples of Flanders, an
act of pure sentiment. of course But
if the Flanders poppies grow over here
as they do in Europe there is bound to
be regret over their coming. They are
AN unquestioned menace in Europe
and are as difficult to get rid of as the
water hyacinth we have here. The
Flanders poppy is called the corn pop
py, 1t also grows in England It
grows as thick as wild mustard in this
country and cannot be driven out once
it takes hold. The corn poppy has a
brilliant red color, making the land
Scape wonderfully beautiful at times,
varying in its loneliness according to
the light that falls on it from clear or
cloudy sky. There is a legend that it

FIREWORKS ACCIDENTS.

While many believe that the safe
and sane Fourth of July has been
absolutely established, the fact is that
some storekeepers are selling eXplo-
sives, pistols, etc, and that children
are using them without hindrance be-
fore the national holiday.
One of the North Hudson towns had
its first juvenile shooting day or so
ago. One youngSter shot another with
a blank cartridge pistol. OF course
the weapon was confiscated after the
mishap, but the danger of tetanus
developing in the little victims body
still remains
Still another pre-Fourth accident
was reported on the same day. Fire
crackers, thrown. upon an awning,
caused a blaze that did quite some
damage. Besides, lives We're en-
dangered.
Despite all that has been said about
the menace in the old form of celebra-
ton and innumerable ordinances for
bidding the sale of the dangerous fire
works, the sales go on and children
are permitted to buy articles that
would be dangerous in the hands of
adults.
Are the police powerleSs or is there
some reason for officials ignoring this
sort of thing Observer

given through various channels, and
the influence stopped at nothing so
long as they could carry its point
without detection. The author has
been called into conference by the
United States government to establish
many important things connected with
the part Germany played in America
before we got into the thick of it our
selves. Teachers especially should
read this Doran book. Captain Ohlin-
ger is not hesitant in the slightest in
offering his convincing proofs of Ger
man intrigue, plot and counter plot in
the schools and colleges of this cOun-
try, and for this reason every one
should read it through. 1t is an old
story, but there are many who still
believe that the German mind in this
country was the FatherlandS most
powerful asset until this country's ac-
tual force made them take a back
seat And at that they have not yet
lost their audacity. Calling them
selves as good as any American is not
only plain bluff, but it is more-it is
a plain lie.
