cohoI and music has heretofore passed unappre-

particularly with reference to the jazz variety,
though it is asserted that other Of the better
sort will popularize in consequence. Such, at any
rate the sober judgment of Jerome Kern. the
popular American composer
Mr.. Kern attributes the present for jazz
shows and Jazz music in general to abnormal hilar
ity superinduced by alcohol. He says:
Take the average out-Of-town visitor He
has had cocktail two. and perhaps wine
with his dinner He Is feeling good, and the
feeble attempts humor and the
discOrdant Jazz cause him to applaud for all
he is worth. Do YOU suppose theatcr-goers who
absolutely sober will applaud jazz bands
after July l? OF course I may be mistaken.
but I predict that the Jazz craze will vanish
with the booze"
Thus prohibition. he argues. will improve the
music and the musical shows He says he has dem
onstrated the truth OF his philosophy in a show
running Broadway He out all the jazz
scored the songs for chamber music omitted the
drums and tried make his production quieter and
more artistic all the way through The critics told
him he would fail without the noise. but the
piece is drawing capacity audiences right along
And Mr. Kern SAYS those audiences are sober.
The theory seems TO imply that all the Jazz music
in dry communities is mere foolish imitation OF New
York. And that is quite possible

Makers of Bombs PrOUe
Hard Men to Discover

It was due to a clerk in the New
York postoffice that the widespread
bomb plot against a score Of prOmi-
nent American citizens miscarried.
This clerk, whose name is Kaplan,
was on his way home early in the
morning when he read in the paper
a dispatch that described the out
raSe upon eX-Sen. Hardwick, and
remembered that he had seen in the
postoffice a number of packages
corresponding TO the description Of
that containing the bomb that eX-
ploded in the eX-senator's home.
Rushing back to the office he gave
the alarm and the rest OF the bombs
were taken in charge by the police.
Mere chance saved several people
from death or injury. and this
prompts the New York Times to the
reflection that OF all desperate
criminals the man who makes and
mails bombs is least likely TO be de-
tected. He works in comparative
safety, his only danger being that
some day when he is making a
bomb it Will explode and Nemesis
