Margaret woodrow Wilson. the

As she said, while naturally, with

SAYS AGE CAN'T
STALE GOOD VIOLIN

"Age cannot wither nor custom
stale" the beauties OF century-old
violins, according to Mephisto In
Musical America. He comments upon
the violin as follows:
"A writer in the Detroit News calls
attention to the fact that while most
musical Instruments, Particularly the
piano, have undergone notable
changes and improvements Ia the last
few decades, the violin has not
changed in three centuries, either in
shape or substance. In that time the
harpsichord. the lutte and the spinet
have passed away. The harp has
been improved, the piano, as said.
has been invented, developed, and
greatly improved, but the violin has
not changed since the days Of the
great StradivaFi.
"Its origin, however, believe goes
back to the Chinese, for have IN my
home q Chinese violin OF very an
cient date, though Il has only two
strings. Still, its general shape Is
somewhat on the lines Of the present
instrument

forts that have been made to produce
violins like the great makes Of

PUTS 'JAZZ" IN PIPE ORGAN

There is a story going the rounds to
the effect that an attendant in . West
Side court, who was growing In flesh
and had tried every possible means to
reduce, only TO md that he was get
ting fatter every day, was advised by
some humorist to try playing on a
pIccolo. You can imagine the comedy
of a very big, stout man blowing away
on q piccolO. But as he blew he in
creased the power OF his lungs, and
still further increased mis- weight.
Finally somebody advised him to
practice on a pipe organ. He took
that up. And whether because Of the

he played in q church, induced some

The shocking death of Julia Helm
rich, soprano, the gifted daughter Of
the late Max Heinrich, will be sin
cerely mourned in Washington. Miss
EleluEAEu was h4AAG4 aAAAADeS AAesa-AA~Ag
by a baggage truck at Hammond La
last week.
The last time Julia Heinrich was in
Washington. about two years ago, she
was the guest for several days Of sgd
ney Lloyd Wrightson at his home on
Leroy place. Mr.. WrightsOn had
known her. since her childhood, for he
was formerly associated with her
father in Chicago, where they had a
joint studio.
There these two fellOw-musiciaus
had given a series Of concerts known
as the -Wrightson pop con-
certs, that were very successful. After
the death OF Max Heinrich, Julia
Heinrich had sent Mr.. Wrightson an
enlarged photograph OF her father
which he greatly prizes.
Max Heinrich stood as one Of the
eminent eIponents of the German
"Lieder," and his daughter had his
heritage OF insight into these songs.
After the war, when the German
songs were omitted from concert pro-
grams, Miss Heinrich was heard in re-
eital as Julie Henry, under which
name she sang in washington and on
tour. At the time Of her death she
was touring the South in the interest
Of a talking machine company.

FEAR DELAY IN
RATIFICATION
Clubbing May Undo Vast
Work of Allied Powers
BY l.. G. MARTIN

United Press staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. July 1s.--Foreign
governments are being sounded on
their attitude toward the proposed
Root reservations 10 the peace treaty.
in the event the senate should adopt
one or all Of them, a leading admin
istration senator said today.
This senator. who declined to be
quoted directly. Indicated the belief
that II the senate adopts reserva-
tions, INTERPRETATIONS will be
proposed by at least one other gov
eminent.
The general result he declared,
would be:
!. Serious delay In carrying out
the peace settlement. thru delaying
final ratification by a sufficient num-
Der OF powers TO make the treaty eff
feotive.
9. Hampering the immediate and
successful launching Of the league Of
nations.
g. Reopening Of questions pre-
sumed settled by the treaty.
In other words, this senator de-
clarcd. reservations by the senate
would "vitiate tho contract" the ma
tions have made for restoration and
maintenance OF peace.
II. however. the other powers give
assurance that they will be disposed
TO accept senate reservations as
mapped out by Root, there would be
less objection 10 some OF the pro-
posals. the senator said.
Illustrating the probable effect Of
American reservations, the senator
declared that n reservation stating
that the United States regards inn
migration as purely domestic ques-
ton, never TO come under the juris-
diction OF the league, probably would
bring from japan a reservation TO
the effect that that government I'M

GERMANY SEEKS
LARGE CREDITS.
DeutSche Bank Directors
Hope for Chance in U. S.
BY CARL ID. GROAT

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
BERLIN. July 17.-(Delayed) -
Germany wants loans or credit from
America
Director Wasserman, of the
Deutsche bank, made this clear today
In an interview. In which lie pointed
out that raw materials and food were
essential IL Germany was 20 meet the
obligations of the entente and be-
come "a stable member OF world So
ciety
German bankers would not make
overtures TO the Americans. Wasscr-
man said as they did not know
whom TO approach. but would wait
for American financiers TO renew re-
lations.
There IL only one way Germany
can be helped at this time" he said.
III she can get copper and other raw
materials on credit, then she can be-
gin the task OF building up her
country and repaying her debts. We
would want credit for AZ long time
as was required 10 produce manufac-
turcd goods. With the proceeds from
49, W iFN~'ikHhiH VI Altt law
terials thus manufactured. | believe
We could repay our credits"
To Stabilize Mark
Herr Wasserman emphasized the
advisability OF the entente and Amer
lea taking steps by which the value
of the German mark could be stabil-
tied for a year or two.
Wasserman. who Ia one OF Ger
many's leading financicrs. is also a
close follower OF political and social
affairs. I asked him. incidentally.
what he thought Of the specialization
OF Germany.
From the political standpoint. 1t
is purely an internal question" he
answered. but from an economic
course. 1t interests foreign nations
believe socialist political control
could be accomplished. but AZ for
actual and complete industrial so
ciallzing. there Is no chance at pres
sent. That will be a process of evo-
luton. You can't force socialism on
a whole nation at one stroke.
Il do believe that IL Germany were
socialized. other countries would not
deal with her. But America and the
other powers need have no cause for
worry from that standpoint"
