In her new book, Putting Young
America in Tune" Henrietta Weber.
music critic of the Chicago Exam
liner, gives the Music Industries
Chamber of Commerce credit for
having forced the government TO
recognize music as an essential and
pays tribute TO the value of the
music memory contest originated by
the Chambers National Bureau for
the Advancement of Music.
Speaking of the music memory
contest, Miss Weber exhorts parents
to develop the musical instinct latent
in every child and her book is a
guide to how this may be done with
the facilities available at home and
in the community. She specially re-
fers her readers to c. NJ Tremaino
director of the bureau, for detailed
Information and assistance In carry
ing out such contests. She writes
of the contest in part as follows:
"As further proof that music
study Is a socializing influence, there
is now being inaugurated over a
wide territory an experiment of tre-
mendous Importance that promises
correspondingIy large returns. It
is the Introduction in our public
schools of music memory contests
for pupils of the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades for the purpose of. ia

Inventor Plans
To Send Pictures
By Telegraph

announcement comes from the
Harry Levey offices of a new plan
whereby motion pictures are to be
projected by telegraph. The whole
process sounds complicated to the
ordinary soul to whom invention is
an unknown branch of science.
NJ Edouard Belin, one Of the lead
ing lights in France in his own
profession, that of an electrical cx-
pert paid a recent VISIT to the Levey
studio. He discussed the feasibility
of applying the motion picture pro-
lection the invention he recently
perfected for sending still photo
M. Belin came by special invitation
to test his Photographic apparatus.
He gave demonstration proving
that photographs can be sent and
received over a thin thread of wire.
1t was then that Harry Devey in
vited him to come to his studio to
see IL the same principle could be
applied to motion pictures. Mr..
Leyey's Idea Is not feature produc-
tions, naturally; but news events,
~ bthh W SNhAN
flashed from another city and
shown on the screen simultane-
ously.
NJ. Belin declared that such an ap-
paratus could be made. He said
that II would be similar to that by
which he transmits regular photo
graphs, save that the grooves would
have TO be much smaller than those
used for transmitting still photo
graphs. They would, he said. have
to be about one-twentieth of q milli'
meter in size.
NJ Belin stated that since a filn
is only a succession Of still photo
graphs all that would be necessary
when the size of the frame had beer
regulated would be to shoot a suc'
cession of pictures over the appa-
ratus.
Although M Belin had intended
to return to France. he has agreed
to remain here until December anC
ldevote his time TO applying thu
principle of telephotography to cine
maphotography.

cal managers in such enterprises,
but there is apparent a growing
tendency for them to act independ-
entity especially in the case where
the engagement of large orchestral
or operatic attractions is involved.
The substantial business men
who are prominently identified with
these boards realize that sponsoring
an ambitious and dignified musical
enterprise Is the best civic adver-
tisement a community can possibly
have. We believe that in the course
of few years they will look upon
this function Of their associations so
seriously that they will have special
permanent committees which will
concern themselves exclusively with
the promotion of musical enter
prises.
'Ts there any good reason why the
civic bodies in Canada should not
follow the example OF their neigh
bors in the United States?"

"The Meanest Man
In Films" Dies
By His Own Hand

Robert McKim, famous as "the
meanest man in films" and one OF
the most capable Williams in the
history of stage or screen. shot and
killed himself at his very meanest
moment-in THE Devil to Pay"
The iniquitous deeds Of this hard
ened criminal have long been a
source of great horror and repul-
sion to the publissst large, and the
news OF his end will no doubt be
gratifying to thousands. Some of
the notably heinous film crimes
for which he has been held respon-
sible during the past two years
are the following:
1919
Shot a helpless paralytic and
pawned his invalid chair.
Wrecked a trainload of tenement
children bound home from picnic.
Poisoned a bridal cake.
Ran off with Il benefactor's wife.
Deserted. the wife for a cabaret
dancer, pushed the dancer of a
cliff.
Embezzled funds from the Saliva
tion Army and dynamited an old
ladies' home.
1920
Threw bombs into an evangelistie
meeting.
Hurled a lifelong friend over a
crater edge. -
Robbed a Sunday school cafe.
Evicted a poor widow from her
home in the dead of winter.
Fired a forest trapping a fresh
air expedition of orphan children
!. Strangled a crippled watchman
Stole an ambulance and sank an
excursion boat.
But film suicides rarely are fatal
and so Robert McKim may be ex-
pected to go growing meaner and
meaner.'
