London Takes to 'sJazz''
With Real Enthusiasm
sSManchester Guardian" COrre-
spondent Even Tries TO Give
Origin of the Word
NctD York Jrfbu7s
Foreign Press Bureda


American dances were increasingly
popular in all Europe during the last
few years, but none Of them made such
hit as "jazz" The London corre~
spondent of "The Manchester Guard
ian" writes to his paper:
London has had many specimens Of
"jazz" lately, and more than one jazz
band has claimed an earlier title than
all others. It appears, however, that
all we have had so far hass been mere
imitation and that the real Jazz band
only will be heard next week. The
real jazz band consists OF piano,
clarionet, cornet and trombone. The
tune is defined as "a harmonious mel
ody in syncopated rhythm" But the
business Of the authentic jazz player
does not consist merely in blowing an
instrument. He must at certain times
initiate peculiar notes.-the skidding
of a motor car or the screams Of a
naughty child. The most redoubtabie
dances are called Barn Door Blues'
and Tiger Rag"
The term Jazz" has to be inter-
preted for innocent Britishers, and in
gallantly attempting this the corre-
spondent contributes the following
specimen to the treasury of British
American etymology:
The jazz and the jazz band come to
Us from New Orleans, and the name is
said to derive from the expression used
by negroes to approve of thing. "Jazz
30" Il await confirmation of this). The
American origin of the thing is OBJ
vious, but in the days when Germans
used to claim German origin for most
pointed out that the originator of the
screaming baby as we'll as of bleating
sheep was no less a parsonage than
Richard Strauss.

Random Impressions
In Current Exhibitions

The japanese color prints belonging
to Mr.. Judson D. Metzgar, of Moline.
ILL.,, which are on view at the American
Art Galleries and will be sold there
next Thursday and Friday afternoons
and evenings, form one of those collec-
tions which are like balm to the heart
Of the amateur. About 1900 impress
slons are shown, generous array, and
the average of merit is so high that
the collector may dip almost anywhere
and emerge with a prize. Many of the
famous names are represented, and
there are some anonymous rarities of
interest, notably the print from an un-
known primitive, "The Old Men," a
brilliant bit of pure black and white,
which opens the catalogue. The selec-
tions from Hokusai and Utamaro are
comparatively few in number, but those
few are choice. The Hokusais include
an impression of his Great Wave"
(No. 995), which at some time has been
creased in the centre, but so glorious
a print is it that one ignores this or
dinarily discouraging detail. The ex-
amples Of Utamaro have his usual eff
feet of bringing into an exhibition an
outstanding element of breadth, of an
almost monumental conception of form,
but as it happens one of the best of
his prints here recalls US to the more
fantastic aspect Of his genius. 1t is
the print (No. $3.50 of "a little imp on
tight rope dancing to the music of a
drum beaten by an old man." 1t is a
perfect specimen of the macabre side
of the Japanese print. We may cite

MUCH TRAVELLED CHRISTMAS
BOX FINALLY DELIVERED.

Marion Howard, of Versailles, for
merly in the u. s. naval aviation ser
vice, has just received, in good con-
dition, a Christmas box that had been
on the move nearly seven months and
had travelled no less than 1000
miles, crossing the Atlantic ocean
twice.
The box was shipped to Mr.. How
ard by his mother, Mrs. q. T. How
ard, of Versailles, Nov. 10, last, when
he was stationed at Eastleigh, Eng
land. When the box reached East
leigh he had left there and so it was
forwarded to first one and then an
other naval base in France and from
France into Germany, where a
tracer" located it and started it
back to Versailles.
1t went through countless hands
and many doughboys, who passed it
on, probably eyed it with a suspicion
that it might contain something good
to eat, yet the contents were intact
when it reached Versailles. The
candy and some other edibles, of
course, were somewhat stale.

MONSTER SCREEN AT
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing Pictures.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
of the largest screen for the projec-
tion of pictures ever built in the
world. This is to be one of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel
ebration, to be held in Columbus,
Jsns 20 TO July IS.
This monster screen will have q
surface for pictures 115x116 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet
larger in each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be ESQ feet from the near
est spectator and will be built to
Withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
square foot. The lantern which will
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on .
screen in New York City across q
distance Of four and a half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
c. HolbroOk, the screen will be, in
effect, three sides of a house. 1t is
necessary to give it the foundations
equivalent to four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served it's purpose, the picture
face will be of fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with a white
surface preparation.
The estimated cost Of this screen
will be $4,000. The screen and the
lantern will be used in showing the
tens of thousands Of views, made all
over the world by the Methodist
Missionary Survey, which has the
finest collection of pictorial reviews
anywhere in the world.

BOON TO MANKIND.

1t is recalled that the late DR.. Mary
Walker was the inventor of the
double collar band in mems shirts,
which corrected the old evil of the
collar button rubbing blister on a
mans neck or leaving a blue birth
mark After all, the eccentric lady
doctor wore masculine apparel to
some purpose. Neither the casual
man nor woman seemed ever to have
thought Of this simple idea. If all
the women would take to wearing
mems shirts other improvements
might be found and maybe we might
get an elastic sleeve. On the other
hand, most of the advance in corsets
has been made since some of our
Hyperions and Apollos have taken to
wearing the blamed things.
