where to Honor His Name
Flag Reaches Oyster Bay
Ii Is Draped on Grave After
Visits to Schools; To Be
Given to Mrs. Roosevelt

With simplicity in keeping with
nation yesterday celebrated Roose-
velt Day, the Colonels sixty-frst
birthday, as climax to the canvass
being made by the Roosevelt Memorial
Association to raise funds to erect
permanent memorials to the former
President at oyster Bay and at Wash
ington.
Through ceremonies in which
children played d large part, every sec
ton of the country. in some manner,
paid tribute to the former Presidents
memory. Men in public life, without
regard to race, creed or political affili-
alton, and men, women and children Of
foreign blood, alike united to erect a
spiritual monument by honoring the
Colonel on the common ground of
Americanism. High officials in France,
Italy and England also contributed.
Probably the most fitting tribute was
paid at Oyster Bay, where the Roose
velt Flag completed it's 1000 milo
journey, and at sunset rested on the
Coloneps grave, guarded by six mem
bers of the Quentin Roosevelt Post Of
the American Legion.

MILITARY COMPOSERS

Men very prominent in politics are
ardent music lovers The great Bal
four Is one example. Lord North
cliffe even confessed finding recrea-
ton I'm ragtime. Nor does music unfit
a man for the stern duties OF military
life. The officers overseas see that
the troops. have music and plenty of
|it, because 1t is essential to Garry
on" Some OF those who follow mill
tary pursuits even take time to com
pose Several songs of today were
born in the trenches OF France and
Flanders. And more serious works
owe their existance TO the men of the
army and navy.
Especially is this true of Russian
music. Lvoff, prominent in the early
days of the Russian revolution COM
posed Russia's national anthem and
was a. splendid violinist. He entered
the army, became maJor-general and
ad 1utant to Emperor Nicholas Cesar

Photograph TO Catch Seal.

Events OF the times are constantly
demonstrating the many and varied
ways in which music may be utilized
One OF the most recent ana astontsh-
ing bits of news along these lines
was brought to light by the staten emit
of a hunter in government employ
who, upon arriving at Seattle, said
that he had used photograph music
TO attract seals to tho surface Of the
water where they could be shot.
As each seal Is responsible for the
loss OF one thousand dollars worth
of salmon yearly, the value Of music
as a means of Turing the seals to their
destruction is invaluable.
Ed. Cofer. the hunter referred to.
conducted his seal-hunting expedition
in the Lower Puget Sound. equipped
with rife and a photograph.
With the aid of the instrument the
bagging OF the animals became sim
plicity itself. Upon hearing the music
the seal would energies from tho
water, remaining quiet and attentive
for considerable length Of time and
thus makes of himself an easy target
for Mr.. Corfee's rife.

MORE ADULTS TAKING
UP PIANO STUDY

The old story about Bobby drum
ming away at the piano while his
chums are off for game of baseball
or a swim in the pond may still have
it's application. But piano practice is
not confined TO the Boobies. Their
big brothers, siters, cousins, aunts.
uncles and sometimes even fathers
and mothers are among those who
are struggling away with exercises
and scales with the avowsd aim OF
getting on sufficiently to be able to
have music In the home Especially
are adults entering upon piano studies
now.
A teacher in Canada remarked to 4
friend the other day that while upon
the outbreak of war his class Of piano
pupils had dw1ndled alarmingly, IL
had nov. been back to normal for over
! u year. The interesting thing about
his class was the largely increased
proportion OF adults Whereas pre-
vousIy, with hardly an exception, his
pupils were under sixteen, now there
were mora over that age than under
1t. A surprisingly large number were
between twenty-five and thirty-flye.
! None of these adults had any fool
/ ish hopes of becoming Paderewskis
or Hofmanns Theirs was no dream
OF the concert stage and international
fame, nor was It to become a learned
pedagogue who could earn living
by teaching. Their sole ambition was
to make up for lost or absent oppor-
tunities OF childhood. They desired
to play to make music themselves to
have music for music's sake, to &C.
company their own songs. to put
themselves in the position where az
Just ordinary pesons they could have
more of the delights Of music.
| That the foregoing condition exists
| is highly encouraging. Those who
never had the chance to get q musical
education when children. ana those
who neglected the opportunity they
did have, in later years see moro and
more how great their loss rs. In the
meantime 1t has become harder for
them to memortze. Their fingers
| have stiffened some. too. But the de-
sire for music is stronger The will
to apply themselves 10 much greater
| Their ability to see the reasons be-
hind what the teachers tell them 10
do also is greater. And ouch advan-
| tages more than overbalancing the
disadvantages. these adults launch out
on piano study.
