she says, they spend more time than

And then, these cold storage chick.

to eating mllk-fed fowls. There were
only three articles of food in Ameri-

Although we can agree that Virginia
hams are good, this list which She
selects as edible, seems to confirm
an idea that some Americans hold
regarding the French people. That is
in eating. they satisfy the eye rather
than the gastronomical regions. Now,

PUT ON THE BRAKES

Mortality and accident reports show
that automobile accidents have in

Oklahoma City alone. And proper

sitly be found in every other sectiol.

There is but one way to stop this,
and that is with the strong arm of
the law. Auto accidents, nine-tenths
of them are caused by reckless driv-

that they have the supreme right

at which motorists may traverse the

laws are, as all know too well, but

Music Strong Social Force

M~aterialistic ideals have cleaved us
apart on the basis of what we possess
and the result has been class con
seriousness and class antagonism
What is the way of escape? Exalt
the spiritualistic and esthetic values
Of life by making possible the univer-
sal participation in the good things.
When people sing, they lose sight of
distinction and become a community.
Leaders have always made use of this
unifying power. To the extent that
new values can be set up, old dis
tressing clevages will disappear. If
democracy wishes to escape the vic
ious socialism of material things, she
must hasten to advance the beneficial
socialism of spiritual things. The
means to this end is public education
in music and other cultural subjects.
Heretofore music has been regard
ed as something apart from life,
pleasant but unimportant. 1t is now
recognized as a great social force
and a vital influence in our national
democracy. The remedy for the pres
ent tendencies of our life toward sell
fish individualism is to develop the
social aspects of life by arousing a
social consciousness. Music has a
large share in this development. Is
it not worth while to keep the home
learning?"

doubtless be tried out soon by other
cities. The municipal theatre means
the establishing of a new school of
opera which will eventually afford a
higher class of artists and produc-
tions because it will afford opportu-
nifty to hundreds of gifted young
Americans. In parks where com
munity entertainments are held there
was always the typical American
crowd, rich and poor, employer and
employee, native born and recent
immigrant touching elbows. They

fashioned chores, and the modern
substitute is art in its various forms
Music furnishes wholesome eniov
ment, stimulates idealism and pro.
vides a common interest by which &
whole family is blended. The mora
discipline of practice is equivalent to
the old-fashioned discipline of chore
work. Modern conditions of industry
have shortened hours of work. and
the leisure time and surplus income
must be spent for something uplift-
ing rather than degrading, if national
moral conditions are not to deter
iorate. Democratic art instruction
answers the question of what this
something uplifting" should be. The
value of music in the school curricu-
lum is conceded, but here we find a
reason for extending it beyond the
schoolroom.
Amusement Desirable
Americans love pleasure and have
leisure to spend in amusement.
Amusement is necessary to a we'll
belenced life, but wholesome enter
tainment must be substituted for the
amusements INDUCED in by many
people at the present time. Commu-
nifty music satisfies both the ega
iousness of man and his restless seek
ing after pleasure. Music appeals to
all regardless of age or condition.
This is a most opportune time in
which to develop community music.
The army of people who frequented
saloons are now seeking other forms
of amusement and the call of music
will be n of the first to which they
will respond. Some n has said
hat the profitable use of working
hours enables a man to exist but the
use of leisure hours is what
makes life worth living. 1t is during
eisure that crimes are usually com
nitted. Should not, therefore, city
md state officials support a commu-
lity house where leisure time may be
vholesomely employed, rather than
'e compelled to spend so much on
pe~nitentiaries and reforma-
