Does Music Get a Square Deal In the Colleges?

|NNTHILE music is gradually com- WV ing to it's own in the public schools and is a "credit study in many of them, it has not occupied the high place in colleges, as rule, that lit deserves.
 Dean Glen of the college of fine |arts of the University of Washing ton discusses the question of music lin it's relation to scholarship interest lingly and constructively in Musical America.
 He considers music as vital edu- cational asset, such, say, as mathe- matics, but he believes that it does not get a "square deap in colleges generally. He regards the college an ideal place to mold genuine music and art lovers. He says it would fill pressing need in our national life The University of Washington is setting good example by co-operat- ing with movement for establishing credits for properly standardized music study for grammar school and high school students. This institution has had for several years university courses in music leading to the de. grees of Bachelor of Music" ant "Bachelor of Arts" in music. Excel |lent results have been obtained ant Dean Glen hopes to see the same sys tenn adopted in all the universities il America.
 | Harvard has long been a musica center and Columbia's music depart Iment is now taking high rank; bu lin the great majority of colleges onl. la smattering of music has been at tempted.

but the delegates themselves ac- knowledge that mistakes have been made and the wearisome preliminaries to peace which had to be worked out somehow have unquestionably reacted to Germany's advantage.
 'If peace had been made quickly" continues Prof. Heron. under the IA points, and if the blockade had been raised and Germany given a chance to work, I believe she would have settled down peacefully among the other na- tions." He predicts that Germany twill in very few years be dominat- ing Euprope, east and south of the Rhine and all Asia up to the gates of India"
 There is little prospect of Germany carrying out the terms of peace in good faith. The scuttling of the Ger 
 man fleet warned the allies what they might expect in the future. Unre- pentant, still ready to use the un- scrupulous methods of intrigue and subversion by which she nearly wrecked the world and already profit ing by the blunders of the peace con- ference, who knows what Germany will be capable of doing within the next 10 or 20 years? If Europe is again plunged into bloody war, France will at least have the satis- faction of saying, ''I told you so."

Malaria and Yellow Fever Successfully Combatted

17NHE second installment of the 0 statement issued by the Rocke- feller foundation, reviewing the work done in 1918 in eradicating yellow fever and malaria, has been made pub- lie. It is of particular interest to the south where great progress was made in stamping out malaria.
 The principal methods used in com batting malaria and yellow fever were draining or filling pools, ditching sluggish streams and oiling surface water which could not be treated in any other way. The breeding of mos uuitoes which transmit the two dis eases was thus prevented.
 The Rockefeller foundation did most of it's work against malaria in Arkan- sas and Mississippi, where the disease has been a sore affliction for genera tions. Starting in 1916, experiments were continued through last year. The town of Hamburg, Ark, is cited as conspicuous example of the ben efits derived from a scientific fight against malaria. In 1916, the number of malarial cases requiring physi- clans services in Hamburg were 2312. The next year there were 25s cases of this character and in 1918 ths number had fallen to 59, reduction of STA. @
 Gen. William c. Gorgas, distin guished Alabamian whose services II the Panama Canal zone made him in ternationally famous, directed yellov fever control in Guatemala. On De cember of last year it was official! announced that yellow fever had beel driven out of Guatemala.

Capacity For Evil

(I7FHE allies have lost peace"
 N says Prof. George D. Heron, as quoted in a dispatch from Geneva to the London Daily Mail. Prof. Her ron is the author of "Woodrow Wilson and the Worlds Peace," and other works. During the war he did con- fidential work for MT. Wilson, MT. Ralfour and the British foreign office. His statement may therefore be con- sidered as coming from man who IS in a position to speak with authority
 Prof. Heron told the Mails core snondent: q think Germany has now won the war, through the long ds..ays of the peace missions and the gen eral concessions that have been made in the last hours and because the neace conference has proceeded 1T such a way as to dissipate the moral antagonism against Germany anc create sympathy for her in eastern Europe"
 Anyone who has followed dispatche: from Europe and events in this coun try will recognize that there is grea' deal of truth in what Prof. Herror says.

Importance of City Scales Stressed

e TEADY progress is being made g in agriculture in Alabama and many organized activities have con- 'tributed to the development-the ex- tension service, the system of county demonstration agents and the work of the Birmingham committee on mar |keting.
 In our forward movement the mar keting problem was one of the most important that had to be dealt with, and it is being worked out success fully. What the committee is stress ing at this time is the need of city scales in every shipping center in the state. Standardization of whatever the husbandman has to sell, whether lit be live stock or field crops, raises the value of the products, and in or der to standardize every commodity must be correctly weighed.
 The executive secretary of the mar keting committee in an open letter to the farmer says the sooner our ship pers realize the importance of better grading and standard weighing meth | ods, their remuneration from the sale of farm commodities will be enhanced and losses and disputes between buyer and seller will be minimized.
 "The question of grades and weights
 go hand in hand" says the secre- Itary. Experience shows that of the two it is more important to first at tempt a solution of the weight propo- Isition, because better grading will automatically follow standardiza-
 tion of weights"
 Birmingham is the second largest lconsumling center in the south ane Ithat being so this city is interested 1T

 methods, 'because we want to con
 sume the products of our own stat land desire to make trading in Bir
 mingham attractive and profitable. Wagon and truck scales in ever. shipping town should be a slogan from now on.

Age-HersId widely Read

The Age-Herald is certainly widely read newspaper" said c. B.. Mason, manager of the Empire Laun- dry company. Tn the issue of today the purchase of the Nabers property on Second avenue by the L. Pizitz Dry Goods company was chronicled and the article intimated that the Empire Laundry company was under the ne- cessity of finding other quarters by October l. As a result, I have had ex- actly 27 phone calls and eight personal visits from real estate agents and others desiring to sell us a building or lot upon which to build. Our lease on the Nabers property does not ex- pire on October 1. as was stated, but on the contrary. we can retain this building until March. 1922. We have the Gillespie property under lease until October, 1921.
 Our lease on the Marks property expires on October 1, this year. This property is not essential to our needs and the lease was purposely arranged to expire in advance of the leases on the other property, so that the build ing could be vacated this fall We are not disposed to obstruct the march of progress by preventing the Pizftz in- terests from obtaining possession of the property they have bought. How ever, the impression that we have becu caught in a trap Is erroneous. We have had plans drawn for a building on the old skating rink lot at Avenue and Twenty-fourth street, which we own. Our MT. Meyer is now on trip to various markets and upon his re- turn we shall possibly have interest ing announcement to make as to our plans, which, by the way are quite elaborate and will include features cf service that are entirely new in this section. So, you see, we are not in the market for lot or building and have ample time in which to mature our plans"

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT RETURNS PROPERTY
 ONCE CONFISCA1EO
More Than a Thousand Holdings Re-
 stored to Mexican Owners.

Washington, Feb. 17.-The Mexican government has returned to their own ners more than thousand properties confiscated immediately after the evolution which resulted in Carranza's coming into power. The list of re- stored properties as received today in Washington shows that, with sin gle exception, aonly Mexicans or Mexi- can companies have been favored. The exception was the French com pany, "El .Boleo," which operates mines in lower California.
 One of the most significant fea- lures of these restorations, officials here said, is that many former sup porters of Diaz and Huerta and even royalists are in the list. This is taken to mean that Carranza is endeavoring to placate the various factions oppos- ing him. In the list is Russian who became Mexican by naturalization and who, according to officials here, was one of the most active agents of Huerta in getting arms and ammuni- ton into Mexico to supply the Heurta army.
 Others whose properties have been restored include:
 fOlegaro Molina, former governor l f Yucatan, under the Diaz administra- tion, who now lives in Cuba; Emilio
 Rabasa, former governor of Chiapas deputy and Senator, who has made
 hi shome in New York since his flight
 from Mexico: Rafael Reyes Spindola 1editor of "El Imparcial," govern,
 ment organ under the Diaz regime who fled Mexico and has lived in New Orleans since Diaz was overthrown
 and Enrique Mondrsgon, general 1T the former Mexican army, who wa' forced to leave the country by thu } Madero government and has been il
 Cuba and Spain since then.
