Doesn't It Settle the Light Car Question?

Light weight in an automobile has meant principally moderate price and perhaps gas oline and tire economy There was enough speed and power to get about but none that gave distinction on the road. Fineness and performance were not expected
 But the Essex brought fine car quality to the light car field. Its appearance gave it immediate distinction. Its performance placed it in the large costly car class. Only in size, cost and economy of gasoline, oil and tires was it compared to cars in the mod crate price field.
 Is it any wonder that motorists have praised the Essex as they have' It gave them just what they had wanted. It was the way by which they could keep their motoring costs down and still have a car that filled their demands in performance, appear ance and endurance.

Made 5,87O Miles in 94 Hours
 22 Minutes Driving Time

The Essex was put on the speedway to prove its reliability in fifty hour test.
 At the end of 2 hours 5S minutes and in the l79Oth mile, rain and sleet forced stop. A second start was made three days later but snow again ended the trial. This the run lasted 10 hours 5 minutes and cov- cred lo42 miles. The third run starting the following day was successful, the fifty hour period being completed.
 Thus the proof of Essex endurance is even greater than that expressed in the 50 hour run. Think what that means. The aver age car is driven little more than 5000 miles in the entire season. But this stock Essex chaiSSiS went more than a mile minute for 5,S7O miles.

Music in Public Schools

By ] MACH.

"Music taught in the Washington public schools
is being presented by Hamln E. Cogswe in series of
articles to better acquant both parents and public with
the methods the schools using to make music useful
factor in the educational system.
Music major study in the schools WILL in time,
result from this advancement in its teaching, and give
Hghtful place in the development of the child.
Mr.. Cogswel states that remarkable change has been
brought into this teaching Nor superficial for it has
grown out of fundamental principles He outlines the pro-
gressive periods of study as follows:
Initiative riod''Divided into two classes Sng
ing Class" and Listening Class " intended to develop
sense of hearing rapidly the child shows ability to
sing In singing special thought is given to quality of
tone, accuracy of pitch, and rhythmic accent.
Constructive Period-In which technical facts are
brought into the lessons with oral and written dictaton
''Pupils," writes Mr. Cogswell, "learn to hear cor
recy and to reproduce rapidly The average sixth grade
pupil hears melody Zone person at time) and steps to
the blackboard and writes it. putting it often in the right
key without being told Thus is he able to hear music
before dreamed Of It is like the master
musician who actually the of the parts for the
orchestra as he listens to the music"

.ELMAN NEAR VICTIM.
OF GAS WHEN BOY.

Mischa EIman, though so long asso-
ciated in the American mind with
overcrowded concert halls and the
laudation Of the critics, experienced
the same uncertainties at the begin
ming of his career that fall to the
lost of most artists. His teacher, Leo
pold Auer, the great Russian violinist,
and knew the public would welcome IT.
Accordingly he arranged for young
Elman's debut in Berlin, which took
place about fourteen years ago when
the artist was a boy in sailor blouse
and knee breeches.
A highly dramatic incident links it.
self up with this momentous event in
the boys life. His first night in Ber-
lin came nearer to being the prelude
TO his funeral than to his brilliant
public career. It was decided to have
the boy play for the press represen-
tatives, and IL that group Of cOnnOi5-
seurs took him In goodly measure,
appearances before the public were to
have been arranged Immediately
thereafter.
On the eve Of the momentous oc-
casion which was either to launch
him upon q successful career, or doom
him to the oblivion OF countless
mediocre violinists, 1t fell to Mischa
Elman's lot to have been almost as
rhyXiated. The gas in the room in
which he slept that night had been
improperly turned of, and the morn
ing found him at deaths door as
result.
