and musical instruments predicts the
downfall Of the jazz, and says that the
slide trombone and other long windcd
instruments which have tortured the

giving way before demands for the
guitar and mandolin and the type of
song which can be sung to them.

Announcement is made by the off
cials of the Medicine Bow forest that
John s. Rogers of Texas has been en-
ployed as a forest guard and will be
sent to the lookout station on Medicine
Bow Peak. From this point, at an al
titude of 1905 feet, the lookout has
under his eye IA very large area of the
forest. and in case of fire he can COM
municate by telephone with the various
rangers in the forest as well as with
the supervisors headquarters at Lara
mic. The lookout station is about 1900
feet almost straight up from Lakes
Mirror and Marie, which are the favor
lite haunts of the many fishermen who
go into the mountains from this side of
the range. Forty-two lakes are visible
to the naked eye from the summit of
this peak.
