Rear Admiral Decker's letter to
Secreary Daniels made public Satur-
day set forth the admiral's reason
for declining the navy cross for
which he was recently recommended
by Secreary Daniels. He said the
award was entirely inadequate for
the services performed by himself as
naval attache at Madrid and those
who worked with him. His work, he
said, was effective in keeping Spain
from entering the war in 1918 and
also reduced the submarine activities
off the coast of Spain.
'1f my estimate is correct" the
latter continues, "my services and
the services of those who worked
with me in spite of the opposition of
the ambassador, is certainly greater
than the work done by any single
battleship in the war, or by any Of
ficial stationed on shore duty in an
administrative capacity"

The study of natural history is en-
couraged in some Russian cities by
means of miniature museums. They
are nothing more than large glass
show cases, located in public squares,
vacant store rooms and other places
where people in large numbers con-
gregate or pass. These are filled with
specimens taken from the larger ex-
hibition places. Pedestrians with a
few moments to spare find it profita.
BILE to loiter in front of the con-
venient displays to study the stuffed
birds and animals under the glass
The contents of the cases are chang
ed weekly, thus providing new ane
interesting exhibits at frequent in
tervals. Lectures are given at the
small museums at noon hours and OF
holidays.

CONFERENCE ON GOOD
ROADS IN COLUMBIA

Columbia, Jan. 14.-Speclal: A
conference of good roads advocates
will be held in Columbia shortly with
members of the General Assembly
for the purpose of exchanging ideas
as to what the State needs in the
shape of methods for improving the
highways; both arterial and county
Lateral roads, according to state
ment of Senator Christensen, OF
Beaufort, president of the South
Carolina Landowners Association.
The organization of which Senator
Christensen is the head along with
other organizations which are work,
ling to have a comprehensive road
program adopted, such as the South
Carolina Automotive Trades AS
sociation, the Travellers Protective
Association, the United Commercial
Travellers, the State Highway Com
mission and other agencies will be in
vited to attend the conference.
1t is believed that out of the con-
flict of ideas and the friction of dis
cussion a method acceptable to every
element desiring good roads will be
evolved. 1t is thought that few of
the members of the General Assem-
bly, are opposed to the idea of i'm
proved highways; their difference of
opinion primarily is due to the meth
cd by which the revenue should be
raised and its distribution.
No date has been set for this con-
ference, but it will be in the near
future. :,

Havana, January-Rear Admiral
Benson w. Decker, former naval at

charge of the naval district with
headquarters at Key West Florida,

When shown a Washington dis
patch today regarding the possibili-
ty of a congressional investigation
into the declination by himse:t ~:
various naval officers of decora..ons
for services during the war, Admiral
Decker declined to make any COM
ment. He added that a letter\which
he recently sent to Secretary of the
Navy Daniels was of a confidential
nature, and that therefore, and COM
ment on the situation must come
from Washington.

MEXICO RECEIVES
ARMS FROM JAPAN

San Antonio, Jan. 13.-The SEN
ate subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation today had a re-
port that a large shipment of am
munition for the Carranza govern
ment arrived at Manzanillo, Mexico,
December "a, last simultaneously
with the Japanese cruiser Yakima.
The report was known at army head
quarters here and was forwarded to
the war department at Washington.
The Yakima apparently was es-
corting the ship bearing arms and
ammunition which had been pur-
chased in Japan through Col. Emilio
Circloz, of the Mexican army, and
Manuel Perez Romero, then Mexican
minister at Toxic.
The Yakima, the report adds. was
met at Manzanillo by committee
]represetlng the Mexican department
of war and marine and its command
ing officer and subordinates were in
vited to visit Mexico City. Part of
the personnel of the Yakima, it is
stated, consisted of students fro?:,
the Japanese military academy.
! Recent reports from Mexico in.
dicate federal troops in the state OF
Chihuahua are better equipped that
they have been for long time. Con,
siderable numbers of machine guns
recently have been received, it is
said.

I took it home and looked at it, and
I saws to it you are too high priced
for me to smoke, so l am gong TO
carry you back to JIM. And ne tells
US that he is going to do that very
thing.
But he says that Jim is ali right and
he put a little of his coin in Jlms
hank while he was here. Max says
that he and Jim talk pretty rough to
each other sometimes, but 1t is all IN
Joke, though some people might
think they were mad. He says tha'
he learned to joke and talk to jim
that way when Jim was poor ano
lived up near him. "Jim," Max says
"is rich now"

RESERVE BANKS TO CHECK
LOANS FOR SPECULATION

Washington, January.-Generally
speaking, the public-which is largely
responsibilities not been acutely
conscious of the delicate financing
Situation in which the nation has
found itself in the holiday season.
While the federal reserve board be-
Eeves the crisis has passed, it is,
nevertheless, determined to check
speculative activity and use it's DOW
ers and influence to cause the Amer
lean people to economize.
So many persons have thought
that because the federal reserve sys-
tenn was constructed to bear the
strains that previously had been
placed upon our national banking
system that any burden whatsoever
could be imposed and the structure
would not sag. But the federal re-
serve board has been compelled for
the nations good to restrict the
amount Of money which member
banks could borrow Of the federal
reserve bank and otherwise use its
powers to check the extensive issue
Of credit paper for speculative pur-
poses.
Before the federal reserve act was
passed, a national bank could not
borrow more money than its capital
stock. This inflexibility was in one
sense good thing, but in many
other cases an obstacle to business
expansion. The federal reserve sys-
tenn has permitted banks to borrow
as long as the funds were available
In the reserve banks. In some cases
member banks have borrowed ten
and fifteen times their capital stock.

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm UP.

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough relieyer, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any Other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, SO all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like a dream
within the time limit. Don't be BASH
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybo ly .
doing it.
When your cold or cough is Fe-
lieved, take the remainder Of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy

music and SIT do not If towns I'M
der 5000 can afford to have a paid
supervisor and have organized music
instruction, what excuse have the
larger cities for not offering it?
| believe music credits should be
given all work done during school
hours, also for outside work. Every
person who attends school, however,
should be required to take music and
receive credits for the amount of
work done.
lnen, too, the person who is mu-
slcaily gifted and wishes to pursue
music as major subject should be
allowed to do so by substituting music
TOR subjects which they will never
need and can not learn.
school music should consist of A
combination of rote singing. sight
singing, learning historical and
theoretical facts and listening to a
large number of the best compost
tons, this causing children to grow
IN love and appreciation of good
music. To do this a. talking machine
and many good records should be
furnished each school and used as
part of the work in familiarizing
students with good music.
They should be taught to use their
voices properly, to read at sight, to
know any key signatures, and musi-
cal terms and to concentrate their
minds upon any composition that is
being performed But one of the
chief reasons for all these things
Is that they may learn to appreciate
music.
In the Primary, that is first and
second grades, rote singing is the
foundation work to be followed later
by ear training and sight reading.
In the third and fourth grades the
voice is developed and made more
beautiful by proper breath control.
by the reading of notes and singing
OF many songs, always with a light.
bouyant tone; individual singing
playing very important part at this
stage, always giving it preference
over class work
The four years work with the
proper instruction, good foundation
has been laid, all notes are familiar
to them. The different musical
signs are now known to them, their
voices correctly placed, and ear train
ing perfected to such an extent that
can distinguish intervals, and a true
tone from false tone. So much de-
ponds upon the first four years that
special care should be taken to give
the best training possible, for this is
the foundation of the child's musical
education.
Children should have 100 minutes
per week in order to develop as they
should, and to accomplish the work
they must have that much instead of
go minutes.
The. sixth and seventh grades arr
a problem, as many of the voices
are of uncertain pitch some of then,
having only four tones, when ou,
scale calls for at least eight. How
ever, the best that can be done for
these voices is to keep them singing.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-11-22

L sometimes have the boys to whistle
and l find some, occasionally, who
can't even whistle. Then, too, we
have some of the prettiest boy So
prano voices at this ago.
Here is an excellent place for the
classes to have music appreciation.
The high school work should con-
slst of at least one Commute chorus
period for the entire school each day.
in addition to this Glee clubs for
girls and boys, Mandolin clubs or
orchestra, and Theory classes in the
first and second years together with
music appreciation.
Musical appreciation, however,
should be given all grades. With
the use of a talking machine and
good records this branch of study
can be made very interesting and
can be correlated with every subject
taught in the high school.
The third and fourth years should
substitute Musical History for The
DRY. But always the singing period
should come first.
Again, / say credits for music
should be given for all work salts
factorily done both in school and out
side study.
When this is done and music is Civ
en- as much prominence as other
studies in the curriculum, then will
we see the standard raised and our
town, churches, community houses,
and schools will have plenty of good
music because they will know how
to discriminate between the good and
the bad, and nothing but the best
will satisfy them.
