MUSIC AND LIFE
By H. Addington Bruce

MANY years ago the great Charles OAR
MI win wrote:
GAS neither the enjoyment nor
the capacity of producing musical sounds are
faculties Of the least use to man in reference
to his daily habits Of life, they must be reck-
oned among the most mysterious with which
he is endowed"
Darwin did not often nod. But when he
penned this sentence he Enthusiastically was
semi-somnolent. So far from being of no
practical use, mans musical faculties are of
great utility to him in more ways than one.
And it is precisely because of this that he
has been endowed with them.
In fact, OF such practical utility is music
that musical instruments ought to have a
place not only in every home but also wher-
ever there is special need Of increasing hu-
man energy and raising vital forces.
Already to some extent this is appre-
cated.
Military regiments have long had bands
to stimulate soldiers on the march. First
class hotels and restaurants keep orchestra
busy at mealtimes. Musical instruments are
found in nearly all good hospitals for the
physically mentally ill.
And even in some industrial establish
ments provision is made for the employees
either to join in choral singing or to enjoy
instrumental music.
All this because experience has demon
strated that the pleasurable moods which
music has unique power to create quicken
singer, the player, the listener more alive
as to body and more capable as to mind.
mere are some, for that matter, who af-
firm that the Strengthening, quickening
healing power of music gains effect not
merely through the indirect action of Great
ing pleasurable moods. They speak of di
rect Migratory action on the nervous system
in general.
However this may be, the all-important
fact is that music can and does help. 1,
helps the sick, the weary, the discoura ged,
the grief-strcken. AS Charles Kassel fine
ly puts it:
''The heart torn by brief finds in a beau.
t1ful air balm which no book no DISCOURSE
no friendly voice can give. Lost in the maze
OF chord and cadence the mind forgets its
haunting thoughts, and the whole being is
soothed and calmed
And:
GAS poetry and prose are the language of
thought, so music is the language of feeling
1t is sound grown eloquent. Painting, sculp-
ture-nay, even the printed page-less pow
erfully sway our emotions
By all means, then, let every one of us
have music. And happily, thanks to the bles-
sed invention of the photograph, every ons
Of us today can have music at little cost
and have it whenever we want it,
No longer do we need technical musical
education. No longer need We depend Oh
musical friends or haunt concert halls. MusiL
now is ours to command-in an age when
the world never more needed the aid music
can give.

4 NezO Entente
7 T is like old times, this reading

is like old times, this reading of the
formation of a Triple Entente The
new coalition, however, is a mere
miniature OF the great agreements of the
past. Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania and Jugo-
Slavla have entered into defensive I'M
derstanding against a twofold menace
Belshevism in Russia and Magyar militar-
ism in Hungary.
The plan seems to have been initiated
when the Red armies were pressing hard
upon the Poles threatening to capture
Warsaw and blot out democracy's one bull
Wark on that troublous frontier. Czech
statesmen perceived at once how perilous
it would be for their young nation if
Bolshevism, after overwhelming Poland
should effect working alliance with Ger
many. They entered accordingly into ne
got1at1ons with the Roumanan and the
Jugo-SlaVlc Governments both of which al
ready had taken measure of the situation
and realized it's grave bearing upon their
interests.
A Bolshevist triumph, though it did not
directly touch the fortunes of those new
~ freed countries, undoubtedly would en-
courage their old enemies and would set
back the emancipating tendencies that gave
them birth. Nor is it improbable that the
Red forces, once fairly launched upon con-
quests, would overrun the whole of East
ern Europe and challenge the West as
we'll The new Entente thus was founded
upon a well conceived need.
But the Bolshevist menace was not ALL
In Hungary there has been pronounced re-
action toward monarchy and miIitarism A
royalist element of considerable strength
is said to be designing the re-enthrone-
ment of former Emperor Charles. Whether
or no that could be accomplished in the
face of positive declarations against it by
the Western Powers, it is .,eneraIy unQur-
stood that the Magyars, Hungary's domi-
nant race and class, are in aggressive
mood and would seize a hopeful chance
to recover some of the territory which
the Dual Monarchy lost in the World War
So it was that Roumana and Jugo-Slavia
were keenly willing to join Czecho-Slovakia
in defensive agreement.
AS long as it remains purely defensive
such an Entente will serve a widely use
full purpose, provided it does not call forth
another and countervailing coalition. 1t
will make for unity among the best Bal
kan elements and will tcaI to preserve
peace by checking the ardor of incipient
aggressors. Ultimately, however, the prob
lens which gave rise to this agreement
cannot be solved except upon a broadly
international basis and through an effec-
tive international league representing civ
ilzation's common interests and common
conscience

Editorial Echoes
ITALY KEEPS COOL

The decision of 70 per cent of the Ital-
ian metallurgical workers to accept the
compromise agreement reached, at the in
stance Of the government, between the en-
ployers and employees has again set the
factory whistles blowing in that country.
Revolution is thus averted where it's spokes-
men proclaimed that it would carry all be-
fore it. What the men seem to have won
is increased pay, immunity from punish
ment for damage caused to plants during
the period Of seizure and the promise of
commission, to be composed of twenty
four members. to decide the exact terms
of factory control. What they seem to have
lost is pay during the period of seizure
and an immediate concession Of the fac
tory control they wanted. They have, how
ever. won the principle of such control,
else the promise of commission is mean
ingless. The principle underlying this set
tlement seems to haye been that mutual
interest in producton-the interest Of both
canitol and labor-gives mutual right of

of trade?"
A. This term is applied to the
ports and imports. The balance of
trade is in favor of the United States
when this country has exported more
than it has imported. This differ
ly by the outflow or inflow of pre-
cious metals in settlement of ac-
counts. Many factors enter into
analyses of modern trade relations
and only broad general tendencies
can be indicated in discussion Of
6. Q. How did the expression "to
the bitter end' originate?
A. The true phrase was "better
end" and was used to indicate
crisis or moment of extremity. When
in, a storm an anchored vessel had
ran out to the better end, that is, to
the end that was in better condition
because seldom used.
Z. @. In the states where women
are of age at eighteen, will they
be allowed to vote at that age?
A. Twenty-one years is the vot-
ing age for both sexes.
3. q. Does the English language
vary in different parts of the United
States as much as it does in differ
ent parts of England?
A, 1t is said that it is harder for
a Lincolnshire farmer to understand
Lancashire miner than it is for
any two Americans from different
sections Of the United States to un-
derstand each other.
8. Q. Who invented liquid air:
A. A number of scientists were
concerned in the discovery Of liquid
air. Prominent among them are two
Poles, Sigmund Wroblewske and
Karl Olszewske. On April 8, 1888,
at Cracow, they performed an exper-
iment before a number Of scientists
and actually produced a few drops
of liquid air. Working in the same
period as the Polish scientists were
the French scientists, Cailletot and
Pictet. They also performed expert
ments in the same year and produced
liquid air.
10. @. Who was the first Ameri-
can novelist?
A. The man who is usually refer
red to as the first American novelist
and whose claim to the title seems
to be undisputed, was Charles Brock

Good Work! Keep 1t Up!

Is deeply gratifying to see the marked
| improvement which a few days of con-
centrated effort for more careful motor
ing have secured. The vigor with which the
police and the courts have entered upon
their part of the work has been effective
beyond measure. Arrests prosecutions, fines
and criminal indictments will deter a GER

unamenable to reason or public sentiment.
The arm of the law, therefore, should con-
tinue outstretched for all such offenders, and

How do you act at home? Are
