TO DESTROY LIQUID
EVIDENCE AT CARSON

The U. S. Marshal has been ordered
by Judge harrington to destroy all
exhibits in liquor cases that have been
disposed of in the u. S. district court
Accordingly. within a few days the
various bottles, jugs, and containers
OF jackass brandy, seized in many raids
throughout the state will be broken
and their contents poured on the
ground or down the sewer. Distiling
outfits and quantities of mash and
other ingredients used in making oi
stuff with real wet-tiihe kick in il
will also be put beyond the possibil-
ity of use intended by their last owner.
The only exception made in the order
was a quantity OF sugar which is to be
returned to l.. n. Wilson. This order
will make possible the emptying OF
safes and storerooms at the federal
building providing room for fresh
supplies as a result OF activities of the
prohibition officers. says the Carson

INTERESTING TALK ON
MUSIC IN SCHOOLS

Music in the Public Schools was the
subject of the address given by
Mrs. Hugh Brown, Chairman of Mu-
sic, of the Nevada Federation OF
Women's Clubs before the Woman's
Club, of Yerington last Saturday.
Mrs. Brown opened her talk by
stating that the educators of the
country were discouraged with what
had been accomplished in the past
thru school music, and attributed it to
the fact that more help was not given
in the home. She stated also that
there was feeling of less respect
these days for the 'embroideries OF
life;" the arts which were being con-
sidered less worth while. After all"
said Mrs. Brown, "are not these en-
broideries OF life the very things which
make life worth while? Therefore
let US see what has been the trouble
with public school music in the past
The lifelcss lorraine never interested
the pupil, was not understood by the
home, and failed to teach the average
pupil to sing, which after all, was the
real aim of music i'll the schools.
Mrs. Brown described the course of
music given the students of the Ala
media High School as being construc-
tive work in the understanding of good
music. She stated it was worth more
to a person to be able to recognize
the various classics in music when one
heard them, than to be able to sing
or play them. One might be. we'll
educated in music and yet neither play
or sing well. She begged the teachers
to teach the children the different
styles of music and tell the children
the aim of the composer, which he is
trying to express in music. OF course
the average teacher cannot reproduce
these masterpieces, SO Mrs. Brown
recommends the talking machine. She
especially called attention to the Won
derful bulletins and catalogues put out
by the Victor people, available to all
free of charge, which describe the
various kinds. of classical music and
offer records played by artists of world
renown She stated any home might
take up this work and by playing these
records faniliarize themselves AMI
their children with the best in music.
just as we read them the best in litera-
ture that they may understand what is
good literature.
Mrs Brown spoke of the folk songs
and dances as the best possible means
for Americanization. "If we teach
our children the folk song and dances
of the other people, who come to our
land and they learn ours at the public
school we shall have common ground
Of understanding Every school
should teach its pupils the national
songs OF our lands. We are making
history very fast but we must not
lose the folk lore of our people. The
home can stimulate this. ior even ii
mother does not sing WELL the phono-
graph will carry the tune and by play
ing slowly, the family can sing with
the machine. The great Italian, Ger
man and Polish singers have learned to
sing at home.
Mrs. Brown closed her talk by
reading of that beautiful symphony
poem on Music written by Van Dyke.
A delegation from the Mason
Woman's Club were present to hear
Mrs. Brown. After the address scv-
eral songs were sung by the members
and delicious refreshments were served
by the Social Committee of the Yer
ington Woman's Club.
