SOME OBSERVATIONS
AND ABOUT OTHER THINGS

When I left Newberry on Monday
for a trip to Greenwood and Ander-
son in connection with. my work in
the census, l had no idea that there
had been such a severe freeze and
storm or that I would find condi-
tions as I did. The freeze was as
severe at Newberry as in these 9TH
er towns, and I was told that the
severe part of it did not extend as
far as Atlanta. 1t had not seemed
to me to be very cold, although the
trees and the ground were all COW
cred with ice. And there had been
a heavy fall of rain in the up coun-
try for the Saluda was out of the
banks at Chappells and the water
running up against the railroad
bank.

The head waiter at the Oregon is
something of philosoper. He said
the candles were but symbol or re-
minder of the condition Of the world
today. (And the lights in Newberry
are not yet entirely reliable because
as | finished this sentence at mid
night Wednesday, out went the
lights, but fortunately for me, and
maybe unfortunately for the reader,
they came back pretty soon and here
l go again filing space.) The wait
er said that as the lack of lights
showed that the city had gone back
to darkness so was the world going
backward and would soon fal! into
the dark pit. That the people SEEM
ed to be worshipping money and it
meant that things were retrograding
and moving rapidly toward the dark
ages, or words to that effect. The
power came on at Greenwood about
midnight and the lights flickered on
until around 5 o'clock, and then away
they went again. And the Index
Journal had hard time getting out
paper at all.

But not only was it the light that
seemed out of joint. l had intended
togo to Anderson by trolley so as
to get there sooner, but was told
that it would be uncertain to try the
trolley. so I decided that possibly it
would be safer and surer to take the
Southern. I wired the party l want

but even travelling by the Southern

And Newberry was not the only
place where there were no lights
and no power. Greenwood and An
derson, and no doubt some other
places, were without either. And /
resolved that the next time / went
away to spend the night I would take
my flashlight along, because every
one and every city is so dependent
on the big concerns for the light and
power, that they are all helpless
when the current fails to come.
And this was the hardest lick that
they have been hit since the Juice
has been furnished by the big power
companies.

At Greenwood there was no light
and no power. and some one remark
ed that there was no water. The
explanation for that being. a Ford
car had skidded in being run on the
iced streets, and had struck hyd-
rant and broke it, and the water all
ran out of the standpipe before it
could be stopped, and there was no
power with which to replenish the
supply. And it was said also that
the Ford nor the driver was in the
least hurt or damaged. l heard a
guest at the hotel say that he did
not have water enough in the room
with which to shave, and he had to
90 to the wash room to bathe his
face. | Jared better in that respect,
because l wrote my friend Watkins
at the Oregon hotel a day or two
ahead of my coming to reserve me
a room, and he did so and located
me on the second floor and l had
plenty of water for all purposes, but
not light, but the fellows higher up
neither had lights nor water. And
outside it was raining and freezing.
The only light was the little candles
and they were placed around on the
tables in the dining room and the
lobby and were used to light you to
bed.

on Sunday about 2 p. M just reach
ed Anderson Tuesday about noon on

everything is just a little out Of
joint.

MUSICAL NOTES
BY Mildred Bryant Jones.
Suggestion Concerning the Pedal.

Even the best technic may be marred if
the pedal is not used correctly. 1t is nee
essary, therefore, that special attention be
given the use of the pedal before a piece is
presented to an audience
Tho tire are not set rules for pedaling,
certain principles are, however, well recog-
nized as fundamental to good playing.
As a general rule, it may be said that a
knowledge of harmony is valuable and al
most necessary for good pedaling. so that
related tones may be intelligently connected.
Also the ear should always be on the alert
to get good or bad effects. The habit of
careful Listening is most essential.
When the pedal is lifted. it should be
lifted all the way up. Too cften the player
lifts the pedal only half way and the result
is generally a blurring of the tones.
When IL is not possible to secure a legato
effect with the fingers. the pedal may be
used as a help to obtain it. 1t should be
borne in mind that when the pedal is de-
pressed all the notes played before it is
lifted keep on sounding and that passage
will require different pedaling according to
the speed at which IT is played. Generally.
the pedal should be lifted just after each
melody note so that the tones of the melody
may stand out distinctly except when it is
desired to hold the tones of related har-
monies together

''Say 1t With ViOletS.' -

The recent statement of Federal
Judge Lands that the u. S. Govern
ment was the most unfair employer
of labor in the country is the echo of
sentiment i'm the heart of many
patriotic Americans. Perhaps it is
because we want everything connec-
ted with the intimate working of the
Government-including its salaries
to be like Caesars wife, above re-
proach; or perhaps it is because of
the seeming hopelessness of effecting
a salary increase for these truly loyal
and efficient workers that we make it
our concern.
The accuracy with which the mails
are handled; the few errors occur
ring in its transmission; the regular
ity with which the local postman rings
the bell two or three times a day,
makes US wonder where they get the
vim that results in so much efficien-
cy. Hardly from their salary, so it
must be from the fact that they over
look Uncle Sans Indifference in pay
ing them a higher wage and simply
work on for the joy of helping him
out.
Judge Lands has come out open
ly as their champion in the matter of
securing justice for them. During
the war;, he said, 81 advised postal
and other federal employees to hold
off-to go easy-to stick to their
jobs because we were at war, and
when the war was over, | told them :
4 will go to the front for you and
try to get Justice
Yes, it is merely that, the postal
and other federal employees want
The question of where the money is
to come from is important, we know,
but here is simple little idea, and
we are sure that if it means doing
the right thing by the federal en-
ployees no one will register a COM
plant
During the war we all remember
that we had to decorate all mail not
strictly local with violet stamp.
That meant an extra cent for each
letter. No one complained 1t is
true we were at war, and no one
would think of complaining, but now
that we are practically at peace, what
is the objection to reviving the little
violet stamp and hurrying the extra
cent into the Golfers of the govern
ment for increase in the wages of
postal and other federal employees?
We are so used to being throttled by
our grocer, and bruised by our butch
er, and baked by our baker, and froze
by our coal dealer, that an extra lit
tie tap by the government to the tune
of one cent could no more hurt our
hardened pocketbooks than fly
could hurt a steel ball. And so we
are for the violet stamp. In this
great commercial country, where mil
lions of letters are written daily, WI
believe the revenue that the viole'
stamp would collect would do some
thing toward relieving the tension il
the salary question of the posta
clerks and other federal employees
of course it is not warranted to do al
but it would help some.

The Speaking Voice.

The study of the speaking voice should
be an important part of all courses of vocal
study. The vocal teacher should give great
care to his own voice and have it under such
control as to give it all the qualities of pure
tone with full use Of emotional and dynamic
infection. The speaking voice should for
tell the its character as singing voice.
Much of the difficulty in the speaking voice
arises from careessness and from the err
roneous idea that the singing voice is a diff
ferent voice. Thus the first step in vocal
study should undoubtedly be the training
of the speaking voice.
