Miss Weber think also, for she says
o!unly that "thc man who cant tell
one tune from another is made, not
born" and believes that all babies are
gifted with The instinct Of good taste
IN music and would promote mus-
cal appreciation in little children
by giving them "a little xylophone" TO
play with. (We suppose she means
set of tuned metal, not one of tuned
wooden, Dars.)
Many Born Tone-Deaf
Here again there are sweeping state
ments far from the truth. There are
many people born into this world who
are toae-dcaf, as there are others color
blind. And many more who might be
taught to distinguish between acute
and grave tones (high and low, popu-
larly speahing) who could never be
taught to hear discririaasiagly or ana
simultaneous y--harmoay.
How about the millions Of Asiatics
with millenniums Of culture behind them.
who have never admitted harmony to
their musical systems? The Hindus?
The Chinese? How about the ancient
Greeks, from whom we derive nearly
all of our fundamental musical terms.
including harmony? To them the
word meant something else--a proper
relation between intervals, tones
sounded uccessvely-good melody, in
short
There ought to be less reference to
the Greeks in connection with another
topic which fills these books-the emo
tional effect of music and its salutary
effect on the moral nature Of men
Music In the Hellenic world was the
art Of the muses.; not merely song and
instrumental music, but poetry and the
dance as well. What we call pure music
was looked upon by the ancient law
givers with distrust and frequently
with dsfavor.
The music Of Tmotheus Of Miletus
was held to have an enervating, fem
inizing effect upon the youth. and ne
tan Senate. Not melody. but rhythm,
was the controlling element in music
which was kept in bonds TO poetry, and
even athletics, so that the emotional
element might not dominate over the
rational, feeling over thought. Music
is not necessarily an agency for good
because 1t loosens the fbers of our
nature. If our natures are prone to
goodness. then the Divine emollent win
nelp us to good; if our natures arc
prone to any kind Of evil, unbrdled
cn2oNbn MAJ tend TO moral laxity.
Tina. seems to sum up Greek philo-
sophical thought on the subject, and
tnc argument seems as sound to-day as
in the days of Socrates.
But there il no need to 20 on. There
are sound suggestions in the books, and
teachers and parents might read them
With profit If they read with under

COAL SEIZURES
 ARE HALTED BY FEDERAL ORDER
R ailro 8 d Administration Directs Purchases Made
 In Open Market

Federal railroad officials yesterday recognized the seriousness of the threatened coal famine in New York and the East by issuing peremptory orders to prevent further comman- deering of fuel in transit.
 New York dealers were informed early in the day that Chairman Spen- cer, of the Central Coal Committee of the Railroad Administration, had instructed his subordinates to pur- chase coal whenever necessary at whatever, price they could, instead of continuing the practice under which fuel was taken by carloads and paid for whenever the owner could learn it's whereabouts.
 But the car shortage, which is held responsible for the present situation, was practically unchanged during the day. Nobody representing the Rail- road Administration was able to offer hope that conditions would improve in the near future.
 Because of the power the National Railroad Administration still holds over practically every big industry, however, heads of corporations that were in danger of complete shut down for lack of fuel refused to per- init their names to be used in con- nection with pleas for more cars They frankly admitted that they feared the possible consequences of alienating government officials.
 One of the city's bfgges, public utility corporations was declared to have but a three-hour coal supply last night. Other such corporations were within twelve to twenty-four hours of a shutdown unless the slender stream of fuel now pouring into the city con- tinued.
 We are managing to keep going by purchasing coal wherever and when ever we can,'' said representative of one public utility corporation. eve are going along now with the hope that warmer weather will relieve the situation and make it possible to pick up more fuel orr find the lost cars that are said to be wandering in the West and South.''
 As an example of the situation con- fronting practically all mines in the Pennsylvania coal field was found yesterday in the car records of one of the mines near the center of the state. The tables for the month of January showed that where the months output should have been 1s,- 900 tons loaded but 10,144 actually found their way into cars because of the lack of rolling stock.
 f1 think this is somewhat better than most of the mines,' said a re- presentative of the company operat- ing this mine. f'It must be remem- bered too, that our business has been crippled or seriously hampered be- cause nobody knew when a. car of coal was consigned to a consumer whether it ever would reach there. If it failed to show up at the nroper time we would begin tracing, probably finding that it had been diverted to some other consumer, whose needs might have been considered more UT gent than those of the rightful own ar

EMPIRE.

William Gillette's famous farce, ''Too Much Johnson,' has reached the screen and will be seen today at the Empire with Bryant Washburn in Ghe starring role. The play was or iginal1y produced some twenty-five years ago with MT. Gillette playing the lead and was hailed as the best American farce of the day. It is said to be even more entertaining as a motion picture
 The hero is Augustus Billings who has a fondness for yachting, a pretty wife, and an irascible mother-in- law. The frst-named failing leads him to accept the invitation of a f1irtatious dowager to accompany her on a yachting party to Mexico.

PLAZA.

An entire new show is being pre- sented at the Plaza theatre starting today. The biggest bill of features ever appearing on one program will be given. Olive Thomas, the famous Follies' beauty who scored a great hit in her previous feature, The Spite Bride" is now being shown in her latest production, The Glorious Lady," by Mary MurilIo and Edmund Gould ing. Both these talented writers have a long string of successes to their credit, but it is claimed that they never have produced a better bit of work than this. It is a story of Eng Lsh life and it is abs orbing zfron start to finish. As an extra added attrac- tfon the management has secured the Charlie Chaplin classic f"The Fire man." which Is bound to make you roar again at his antics.
 A big girl act and a real good one fs on hand to entertain you the last half of this week. Musical Moments is the feature and it stars Chris Pen der, Phoebe Belleau and Bobby Hunt together with the zippiest chorus of seven beauties. You'll sure enjoy it. Another attraction that will entertain you is '"The Choruscope" with Lewis Piotti, enabling you to sing the latest popular songs. Eddie Allen and Bud die Walton in "At the Candy Booth" are still handing out more laughs in 20 minutes than others give in double that time. Ray Conlin, Hearst News, Topics of the Day and other feature es complete the bill.

PARK.

Hewing close to the lines of con struction of the more recent musical comedy successes, '"The Million Dollar Dolls" comes to the Park theatre comm encing with the usual matin ee today, for the balance of the week.
 By reason of its brightness, tuneful- ness and particularly, its cleanliness, this attraction makes a special bid for recognition, not alone from burlesque devotees but from the general theatre going public.
 The plot of the average entertain ment of this type is not usually con structed with the intention of provid- ing food for very deep meditation, and, in the maximum, the two-act musical melange, "In a Whirl of Pleasure,' which is the medium through which "The Million Dollar Dolls'' display their wares, is no ex- ception. However, while comedy and irresistible haunting melodies pre- dominate there is, nevertheless, a book with a reasonable consistency and continuity in its story and it is adhered to as closely as is considered wise.
 ''In a Whirl of Pleasure,'' as inter preted by t'The Million Dollar Dolls is said to be brimming over with every element of entertainment that appeals to the refined senses. There is a con spicuous absence of every variety of su suggestivene ess, double entendre or of fense. On the contrary, it is clean refined, wholesome Advertisement that comments itself to everyone.
